Cherry Blossom Nails

Hello everybody today I have some awesome nail art to show y'all!

I've been kind of slacking in the nail tutorial area so one day I got this burst of energy (okay maybe I was just bored out of my mind) and so I decided to try doing cherry blossom nails!  Doing this finally gave me the opportunity to use some polishes that I've never used before as well as some of my new nail art supplies!

Here are the polishes that I used! From L to R:  SC "Be Happy", SC "Cinderella", China Glaze "Goin' My Way?", and L.A. Colors Art Deco "Baby Pink"

Here's the end result:

Here's a closer look at the design w/flash

I LOVE the way this design turned out!

Simple Spring Neutral/Neon Tape Nail Art

Hey guys!  Today I'm going to talk about a recent mani that I did the other day.  When I was looking through my pictures of nail designs I drew up, I wasn't really in the mood to do anything to detailed so I thought it was the perfect time to try out a tape mani that I saw on Pinterest (the most AWESOME site on the planet!)  The picture I saw used a black and nude polish, and it was cute and everything but I wanted to do something bright and Springy!

Nail Polish Spotlight: SC Cinderella

Today's polish spotlight is going to shine over the lovely Cinderella by Sinful Colors!  I LOVE this polish and I think that it's the perfect color for Spring!  This polish is a mixture of orange/pink mylar pieces in a light blue jelly based polish.  I've seen this polish all over YouTube, Pinterest, and Facebook and everybody and their mom talks about how much they love it so I decided to check it out.  When I first saw the polish it was love at first sight and then I painted my nails...

Sinful Colors "Cinderella"

This picture will NOT do this polish justice!!!  If I could marry this polish I would!  The color isn't the most opaque but the finish that it gives your nails make the 3-4 coats that you have to paint them worth it!  I strongly encourage y'all to at least go to Walgreens and look at this polish for a minute or two! (Lol)  I'm not sure if this color is limited edition but if it is, then I'm definitely going to buy a second bottle of this.

What do y'all think of Cinderella and what other polishes do y'all think should shine under the nail polish spotlight?

My Easter Mani!

Hey y'all!  I hope y'all had an amazing Easter holiday.  I just wanted to share my Easter mani with you all.  I originally wanted to keep a turquoise stone nail design that I did (I'll do a separate blog post on it) but my polish started chipping after 3 DAYS! : (  Since that tragedy happened, I decided to try the half moon mani out.  My first attempt was all wrong because I used the worse possible colors!( I would show y'all a picture but I had to delete them!)  My second attempt came out a lot better.

I used SH Celeb City and Pacific Blue

This time around I used a more opaque polish as my base color, which made this process a lot smoother.  I also took this opportunity to make a basic half moon mani tutorial on my YouTube channel, which you can watch here.

At first, I wasn't really sure how I liked this design, but it eventually grew on me.  I do think that I will like it more once my nails get a little bit longer but overall, I like this design and will do it more in the future.

Simple Pink and Gold Polka Dots

So I've been feeling the Spring fever lately and decided to do a quick and simple nail design using some colors that are going to be trending this spring. To start my series of spring nail tutorials, I wanted to do something that didn't require a lot of skill. This is what I came up with:

The colors that I used are "Cream Pink" by sinful colors for the background and "Goldmine" by WetnWild for the polka dots. You can definately achieve this look with any color combination that you want. You can even use more than two colors to create a more vibrant look. To see the tutorial for this design click,here. Also don't forget to check out my YouTube channel, CDesigns92, for more nail tutorials and other nail/beauty videos.
Take care,
