Spoiler Alert! Manicures I've Done Lately

Hey everybody! I hope everyone is having a good week. So, I have been doing lots of manicures lately. Even before I started this blog, the kids I babysit would always ask me to do their nails, and today when I was babysitting they asked me to try out a really cool technique. I had tried this technique before and my nails had never turned out very good, but today something must have clicked because they turned out great (if I do say so myself!) I will definitely be doing a tutorial on this type of nail art ASAP...probably Monday the 9th (because next Monday will be fourth of July nails!)

I also added a special touch to the ones on the left :)
I just did this dolphin using a thin stripe brush (alternatives for a thin brush are listed in this post: Cheetah Print Nails)





PLUS: a few weeks ago I did my cousin's nails using the chevron technique that I described in my very first post (Chevron/Ikat/Triangle Nails)...I wanted to incude this picture so you could see another color combination! These ones are silver, purple, and blue.

Manicure Monday - Tie Dye Nails

Hey everyone! I decided to do another very fun, summery manicure this week - tie dye nails! Over the weekend I got a manicure with two of my cousins, so for this week's manicure tutorial I used fake nails.

Manicure Monday - Water Marble Nails

Hey everybody! It's the first Monday of my summer vacation and I couldn't be happier! I decided to do a very fun, very summery manicure this week. These are water marble nails. It's only my second attempt ever at these nails so they're not perfect, but I like to think that only adds to their charm! It may take a few do-overs, but if you stick with it they will turn out great!

Cheetah Print Nails

Hi everyone! Today was my last day of school, so I decided to do a fun pedicure to celebrate the start of summer! I did a cheetah print on my big toe and the accent color on all the others.

Laser Beam Inspired Nails!

My friend just sent me this picture of her nails that were inspired by my last post! How cool are they!?

This is another take on "laser beam" nails...if anyone else experiments with this manicure idea, make sure to let me know! You can e-mail pics to nailingitmanicures@yahoo.com!

Manicure Monday - Laser Beam/Neon Striped Nails

Hi everyone! I hope you're all having a fabulous Monday! I saw a picture of nails like this on the internet and I had to try them! I like to call them laser beam nails because that's what they remind me of. This is another manicure that involves tape - as you can see, it's a staple of many of my manicures!

Manicure Monday - Chevron/Ikat/Triangle Nails

Thanks for visiting! Ok, so for my first manicure post I decided to do something fairly simple. These are chevron, ikat, or triangle nails (so many names, yet so simple to do!) They can be done with any colors as long as they are pretty contrasting. I used Confetti's "Wedding White," Orly's "Basket Case," and Milani's "Violet Dash." Two of the colors should be ones that do not need tons of coats (you'll see why later). And of course, use a clear topcoat and basecoat!

Hello World!

Hi! I'm Molly and, as you know if you read my blurb "A Little About Me" on the side of the screen, I am going to try and post a new manicure idea every monday. I am an amateur at nail art, but I really enjoy it and people are always asking me how I did my nails, so I decided to blog about it! Hopefully this blog will offer some inspiration for all you people with lackluster nails! Remember, you're fabulous and your nails should be too (:
