Manicures and Nail Art Design Extensions

Manicures and Nail Art Design Extensions

The key to having beautiful nail art is to start with beautiful nails. If yours are bitten down to the quick, apply acrylic ones first. Once they are shaped and sculpted, apply a neutral base then start drawing your chosen design with a fine-tipped brush. Cheaters can buy pre-made stick-on gems and other designs, smarter cheaters (with more cash to spare) can have everything done for them by a professional.

Pixie Perfect


I am always on the look-out for hot new beauty products and kits. When I saw these amazing new, limited edition "Pixie" inspired kits by Too Faced that just hit the market, I immediately had to get one of my own! The Too Faced kit that I purchased is the "Pixie Perfect" kit. The kit rang in at only $42, but the value of this kit far exceeds that at $110- what an amazing value! This kit includes five different products....
First, "Pixie Perfect" has an Eye Shadow Quad Palette in stunning shades of brown and tan (Velvet Revolver, Exclusive Shade, Totally Toasted, Peach Fuzz)
A Blush (Papa Don't Preach) and a Bronzing Powder (Sun Bunny).
The kit comes with a full size Glamour Gloss in Plush, Lash Injection Mascara in Black, and a travel sized Shadow Insurance eye primer. And who could forget the adorable quilted cosmetic case embellished with fairies, flowers, and butterflies, oh my!
I adore all of these products, and I have used them all every day since I purchased this fabulous kit! The gorgeous colors featured are perfect for every day wear or night-time makeup depending on the intensity and layering of shadows that you choose to apply. Kits like this are the best way to test out a makeup brand- I personally did not have any other products by Too Faced, but I couldn't be happier that I tested out some of their products through this value kit because they are all great! I would highly recommend this to any beauty loving fashionistas- it is a perfect stocking stuffer or secret Santa gift for the holidays too! 


You can purchase Too Faced products and this specific Pixie Perfect kit at Sephora (in stores and online).
Retail Price: $42 (Value: $110)

Blue Flower Nail Art Design

Are you beautifully dressed and wearing your favourite make up? What about some nail design? You are not actually ready to go out until you have stunning fingernail designs.Having beautiful nails is an art. But, who says it cannot be fun? There is a fascinating world of nail art designs for both toenails and fingernails.

Blue Flower Nail Art Design

Painting your nails with a nail polish design. People from the oriental parts of our globe created the most stunning and innovative pictures on nails. If you have poor painting or drawing abilities, start by creating simple colourful nail polish designs and increase their complexity as you gain confidence.
Decorated nails – As painting someone’s nails was really time consuming and needed a great deal of ability and practice, a simple and fast system was created to get the same stunning results in only minutes. Artificial nails imprinted with beautiful nail designs are a great alternative to stickers.
Sticker nail art – quite fun, but it became too popular and some people may argue that they are out of style.
Round Steel Stencils – they have between 7 and 10 different nail designs and are very useful if you are in a hurry. Just make sure the lower layer is fully dried! They will certainly help women express themselves, even the most conservative ones.
French manicure – One of the most sophisticated fingernail designs. Nails are polished in light pink, beige, lilac or white and the nail tip is polished in extra white polisher. Special kits are sold to do them at home with patterns for the ones who are in a hurry but still want good quality results.
Animal print, flowers or with rhinestones are worn by the most cheeky to catch people’s attention. Some women prefer a low profile and only wear them on one or two nails with a unique fingernail design, usually on their little finger’s nails.

Toenail Designs
If your hands are to look perfect, why not your feet? After thorough pedicure and, if your natural nails don’t allow for a toenail design, stick artificial toe nails. Some of them already come decorated imitating French manicure but in stunning colour schemes such orange, purple, white and red to create that unique look to go with your favourite sandals at the beach!

One of the simplest ways to add a little bit of creativity is to add texture. Glitter polish can be that necessary embellishment to take simple nail designs from ordinary to high fashion. Too much glitter, however, will ruin your design. Toning glitter down with a solid color is the way to go.

Simple Nail Designs with Glitter

The hands featured in the image contain jungle green confetti against a lime green background. The glitter or confetti adds a bit of shimmer and interest to this simple nail design. These hands would really stand out in a photo shoot or demand attention from your clothes. The good thing about simple nail designs is that you can easily select different colors without sacrificing the design. For example, these nails would look lovely if you used bright, red glitter and a baby pink background. It would be just perfect for Valentine's Day. This look is great, too, if you desire a fresh, earthy look.

To achieve this look, do the following:

• Start with your choice of glitter polish first. Paint the tips of your nails with the polish.

• Let the glitter polish dry.

• Apply a solid color nail polish across your nails. Start by painting over half of the glitter nail polish tip (diagonally) and then painting the rest of your bottom nail.

• Finish with clear polish or top coat.

Simple Nail Art Design for Cold Weather

Although women tend to neglect their nails during the colder months, it is the most important time to take care of your nails! As you know, the cold air will dry out your skin. So make sure to lotion up. If you are feeling very ambitious, creating simple nail designs for the winter will make you standout for the crowd. It also gives you a chance to experiment with darker and bolder colors.

Simple Nail Art Design for Cold Weather

To achieve this look:

• Paint your nails black. You can also experiment with different color backgrounds to change the dominant color for these simple nail designs.
• Take winter blue glitter nail polish and generously apply it in spurts on your nails.
• Taking dark green glitter, fill in the gaps. Make sure to allow some black nail polish to show through your nails.
• Using a white nail art brush, make spider web-like motions on each of your nails. You may want to practice on paper first. Basically, you are making several white lines that curve. Each line connects to at least one other line. The best way to do this is to start with one line in the idle of your nail. Then, extend another line from that one and so on. The easiest way is to just look at the picture and copy what you see.
