Photo Magic - Vanity Simms @ Ding Dong Lounge 3.6.12

My first photo shoot - I was the MUA. (and I use that term loosely, one day I'll really be able to hold the title...unlike some others) But anyway I digress. That's another blog entry for another day. The photo shoot was for my niece Jed "Vanity Simms" I think it turned out great! It was shot at Ding Dong lounge in NYC.

I know now what I can do better, what I need to change and what I excel at. So next time, if there's a next time....I'll be better prepared... 

here are the pics! (Behind the scenes) Finished looks will be posted later.

Here are a few of the finished photos!

Tough As nails - Tiffolicious

Tough As Nails: "Tiffolicious"

Random nail designs! Yes I do my own nails (most of the time). Who wants to pay $6 for a mani only for it to come falling apart the next day. I do them myself FOR FREE and if it chips I don;t feel so bad.

My @icanonlybetiffy inspired set, these color combinations always remind me of my friend Tiffany! Hey Girl #Boop

A yellow or marigold polish as a base, turquoise, gold and brown and you're set. Extremely simple!

Start off with your base coat. Then apply the yellow/gold polish to each nail, except for the ring fingers. Apply the turquoise only to the ring fingers. Dot the brown polish in random places and sizes on your ring finger, and repeat with an old gold polish directly on top of the brown dots. Set with a clear top coat and you're done!

Fat Tuesday - Hello Wednesday!

Totally missed my Mardi Gras Fat Tuesday opportunity to create something...but have no fear! Mardi Gras season is still upon us, so I'll be posting a few things. Just gotta figure out exactly what I want to do. Last year I gave up Reese's peanut butter cups and Pepsi for lent. (Don't Judge Me!) What are you giving up this year?

Tough As Nails - 'Princess Tinanos' edition

"Tough As Nails"


Who needs a nail salon when you can jazz up your own nails at home for muuuuuuch less than what they'd charge you.








It's really simple...


You'll need: Clear polish, nail gems, glitter or glitter polish, and nail glue or crazy glue.

1.  Apply a coat of clear polish to your nails. and let dry.
2. Apply A coat of glitter polish to your ring fingers, Let it dry.
3. Take rhinestones, gems or whatever other nail art you have and apply it to your ring fingers with crazy glue...yes crazy glue. Let it set for a minute.
4. Tape off the tips of your other nails, as if you're prepping for a French manicure. Apply a bit of clear polish in the space and dip your nail lightly in the glitter. Repeat for each finger. 
5. Once the tips are a bit dry, apply a coat of polish to the tips and let that dry a bit.
6. Finally, carefully remove the tape, add a final coat of clear polish to each nail, let it dry and you're done!
