Hellloooooo my lovelies!

After like a two week hiatus, I HAVE RETURNED. Why? Because holidays are upon us! So that means an intense number of posts coming your way in the next two weeks!!

I've made a to-do list for different paints throughout the term and I've already started my first one. Here it is:

Daria-themed nails!! Man I love that show. I watched it when I was a kid... but then I recently rewatched the whole series again. So good. From the pinky we've got Quinn, Trent, Jane and Daria! Forgive my for Jane's weird little blemish on her nose... I'M NOT PERFECT OKAY!?! It was fun, regardless :D

YAY HOLIDAYS! Just hit me again...

Toodles!

nailetubbies

Howdy y'all! What.. Ignore that.

But hello! I am pretty much near the peak of Grade 12, once the exams in two weeks are done, I am halfway there!! Well a little bit more than half way because Term 4 is like.. 4 weeks.

I'm posting because I feel I need to give the MASSIVE HORDES of viewers that I have something to look forward to again. I did this paint last week but thought I'd save it for later. Space out my posts for optimum viewer enjoyment :) I care about you. So view my blog. Like a million times. And tell everyone about it. Everyone you know. Yep, all four of them.

THE TELETUBBIES! Inspiration for these nails came from our 90's themed school dance which we (the SAC Exec - no point in explaining) slaved away to organise. To advertise, we were teletubbies having a classic little conversation around the podium. We kept our costume for the actual dance a secret so everyone was convinced we'd be teletubbies. Then BAM. Furbies. Best surprise ever. And have to admit, it was a pretty awesome event in the end. We did an awesome job, regardless what anyone thinks!
But yeah, you've got Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Lala, Po. If you didn't read that in your head like the theme song they had on the show then...That's okay. Thank you for actually reading my blog, for starters.

if nailtical nonsense be something you wish, SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!

Should've been doing my Economics, oh wellsies!
I'm too excited, without further ado, I present to you:

Spongebob Squarepants themed nails! We've got from the thumb: Spongebob, Patrick, Squidward, Mr Krabs and Plankton :) pretty proud of this :') After attempting to do some schoolwork, I had the midnight urge to paint Spongebob on my nails. Took me a quick 20 minutes, so in the morning, after a brisk 5 hours of sleep, I just felt like I needed to finish off the rest! So now it's 10... I should do something productive with my life...

Plus, I took this on my new phone woowhooeoooooowhiahwowowoohhooo!! Nokia Lumia 710, Google it ;)

Hellllllllloooooooooooo there. What are you doing posting again? You ask. Why aren't you at school!? You ask again... a bit aggressively. You should really apologise, that hurt my feelings. Nevertheless, I am posting and am not at school because I am sick! A case of the damn sniffles. Fear not my avid followers, I reckon one day of rest should get me back into the groove. But yes, I'm staying at home today, recuperating. Which leaves plenty of time to catch up on missed schoolwork, get further in assignm--- LOL JKS IT'S PAINTING TIME

Umbrella nails! The idea came to me a while ago and I have been dying to try it since. So voila! I had thought I would outline sections of the umbrella with thin black lines but I didn't want to taint their already perfect shapes. Plus I thought of putting little blue dots as raindrops in the background, but I thought it would be confusing that you'd be seeing raindrops when you put up an umbrella. I'm stifling my own creativity. I could have easily branched out into dimensional nail art, but I've just decided to stick with one dimension. Forgive me, artistes.

Also, this last Sunday was Mothers Day!! I hope you all pampered your mothers and showered her in gifts. Not gonna brag, my sister and I did a pretty awesome job...

 My fully sick napkin folding skills

 Banana cake I whipped up on a whim of procrastination

And now our mother loves us even more. Mission accomplished!

confectionailry revisited

I couldn't think of another name which is synonomous to confectionery that could incorporate nail into is somehow. So I apologise for my lack of creativity in that aspect. Today was ANZAC Day - a day remembering the many heroic Australian soldiers who have fought or are currently fighting. I went to a lovely ceremony and had the honour of carrying The Gap High's wreath! Although my hands were violently shaking after 20 minutes of holding it and it felt weird to bend my arms in any direction other than the wreath holding position, I really enjoyed the ceremony. Anyways, I'm rambling. CHECK OWT MA NAILSSS GURRL!

I'm sorry for that weird gangsta outburst...and assuming you were female. I mean it with a kind heart, I assure you. But I have m'n'm nails! Just something I can leave on my toenails for a while and be pleased with :) I had become bored of the stripes, plus they were chipping. Fiddlesticks!

Although a week of schooling has passed - quite rapidly, might I add! -  I have not yet feel the pull of assessment. I'm not sure if that is because I'm unaware of the actual pressures prevalent or the pressures are not yet existent. Regardless, I was aimlessly browsing on my computer tonight for a few hours and thought... Hang on. I can use this time to paint! And because it is a weekend I can just remove it Sunday night! So I painted this idea in about an hour..

 Cute little animals to grace my nails :) from the thumb I have a panda, a bunny, a (slightly munted) froggy, a piggy and a penguin! The beak of the penguin was very pesky -  and on the topic of p words, three out of five animals I painted started with p! And painted starts with p too! Man I love words too much.... But once again, on another note, I have vastly improved my touch typing skills. I honestly think it is because I have blogged in the near dark so many times that I've just been forced to guess where the keys are. It's honestly a lot more fun typing in a weird yet comfy position and seeing the screen materialise with words. Makes you feel like you're in a movie. They can always type so clearly and fluently in movies... I am rambling. And seriously my only reason of my rambling was to touch type a little more and pretend I'm in a movie.

Once again I found myself bored out of my wits, just aimlessly watching TV or reading random Coles and Woolworths magazines. It then occurred to me that I could be painting my nails! I have to admit, thinking of themes has been difficult and I thought I had overjuiced my creativity. But, by some miracle, I came up with another theme...

Technologically themed nails. From the thumb we have a television, a CD (or DVD, whatever tickles your fancy), an iPod, a cassette tape and a speaker. This didn't take very long to do - if anything, it took more time to think of which five iconic technological items I'd use. I would have liked to put a phone in there but I just settled for the speaker, haha.

Came home from my little sleepover and went straight into my next masterpiece. I really really loved my nails at that moment (Sesame Street and Pac-Man) but I knew I had to sacrifice one of them for my next project. That project is shown below...

Ta-da! They're flag nails. I wanted to get a flag from each continent (except Antarctica of course) to properly represent the whole world! From the thumb I've got the Union Jack - which pretty much covers the whole Commonwealth, Bangladesh - my ancestral home, Ethiopa, Switzerland and Honduras. Might I mention I did these all with my left hand. I know that flags are just basic shapes and colours but hey, that Union Jack was harder than it looks. I had fun doing this theme though, researching flags of the world and what not.

I am currently so bored but I don't want to commit to painting another theme as it could take hours. So I've decided to give baking a whirl. Will keep you posted. Yes, on this nail blog. Shut up, it's my blog!

nailstagia

In attempt to think of themes, I took a trip down memory lane... or should I say... SESAME STREET!?

Yes, I decided to reminisce and produce this! From the thumb we've got a distorted Big Bird, Elmo, Cookie Monster, Ernie and Bert. They look so cute on my nails, think I might keep them for a while. Which means a day.

Katnail Everdeen

Hello all! I didn't blog for one day and felt like I had been gone for ages! Anyway, I was thinking of some Hunger Games-esque nails. Everything about the books/movies was either hard to draw or not memorable enough to be recognisable on my nails. But with the help of a cutepolish youtube video, I got some inspiration...

Flame nails for the Girl on Fire, Katniss Everdeen. It's simple and not that symbolic of the Hunger Games but I think it looks pretty funky regardless. Who doesn't love a good flame on their nails? I thought so.

I plan on getting two more posts out today, so worry not my avid readers!

confectionailry

I present to you my first ever "themed" nails!

Desserts and sweet stuff in general! From the thumb I have a cupcake, fairy flos, macarons, icecream and sprinkles. I wish there was a way to show my thumb upright with all my other fingers and also be able to see each picture clearly... But here is another shot of my thumb, because I think it is cute :)

I couldn't get a close up, focussed shot on my phone without a bit of shakiness.. Sorry!

I've just gone a bit nailpolish mad... it may be the fumes I'm inhaling from the nail polish. Here are some more creations..

 I have painted a lady bug, eye, tuxedo, converse shoe and a mushroom! I've got to say... Pretty proud of my left hand's painting skills right now :')

That's all!!

I woke up this morning and had the full intention of keeping my mouth nails on. However an idea came to me and I just had to try it!

WATERMELON NAILS! This took much less time and is really simple when you think about it; white base, pink triangle, green line, black dots, clear top coat and voila! Done. I really want to do more nail art along these lines because as we all know, simplicity is best.

That's all!!

Few days ago I decided to up the ante. Instead of writing letters on my nails, I wanted to have actual pictures. Because let's be honest, letters are pretty average and not that amazing. I needed to wow myself! So I set out on an all-day project and this was the result..

Mouth nails! I don't know how I thought of this crazy idea but I did! It took me all day, most of the time I was correcting mistakes made when accidentallly bumping my nails, and I only used the brushes of the respective bottles. The hardest part would have to be putting the balck lines as the teeth because the brush was so thick and unwilling!

This is the beginning of my venture into crazier nails and I only have one week of holidays left! So I'm going to try and do as many of the ideas I have as quickly as possible. Whatever I can't do this holidays, I'll save for next holidays. And if I think of a good idea mid-term... seriously will write it down. Legitimately.

That's all!!

protagonails

I thought I'd post nails I've tried in the past (like A THOUSAND) and taken a picture of (so two..). Just to put some cred into my blog. And attract some viewers with pretty pictures!

Anyway, in January our school had their annual swimming carnival. My house, Rigel (blue) always came in second and I never really participated in anything because I'm not a champion swimmer. I'm more of a cheer and encourage from the sidelidnes kind of girl. But this year is my last, so why not absorb all of high school life in one year!? So I, and many others, participated in several events to gain participation points. And in the end, we won!

To prove my house spirit, I painted my nails! I've got to say, I was pretty proud of the neatness and clarity of the letters. The R and G weren't as effortless as they appear.. *flicks hair* and I only use the brush inside the bottle. Sometimes they are incredibly thick, just to spite me and my nail polishing dreams.

So that's my first actual blog post including some form (no matter how simple) of nail polish design! Hopefully many more to come in the future.

That's all!!

Hey guys! Or do I even say hi? What is the proper etiquette for blogs?! And who is this mysterious "guys" I refer to, I believe they are non-existent...
I started this blog as a means of holiday procrastination and to show off my mediocre nail art. I enjoy painting my nails because I am terrible at decorating my face or walls or cupcakes, whatever. So I hope this blog attracts people like me :)

As can be seen from my backround image, I do not have an extensive colection of colours or brushes. I just use the ones in the bottle. And boy can it be a pain sometimes! But I love doing it. So I hope you enjoy my very small, unimpressive collection of nail polished nails!

Oh and: I'm thinking of incorporating "nail" into all my titles, just a little word fun for me. Also, during the school term I won't get much chance to experiment because school has a strict no nailpolish policy. Plus I'll be too busy studying. Hopefully.

That's all!!
