Trust and Love No Man Nail Art

This design is just for fun.  It is not my best design but it did come out cute.  For my ring, middle, and index fingers, I did a ombre effect using an eye shadow applicator.  For my thumb and pinky I decided to use crackle polish to give a representation of "broken love" to fit in with the theme of the design.  I am not saying to hate men or to not love them, but they do have their moments when they are PMSing or just being complete assholes.  ;)

Products used:

•Thumb and pinky:  

China Glaze Dance Baby 

OPI Pink Shatter

Heart shape stones and big silver and light pink stones

•Index, middle and ring fingers:

Soft Pink Cheetah Print Nails

This is an easy quick nail design!  With all the color combinations, cheetah print is by far the easiest print to recreate.  Plus, it is my favorite print.  I don't want to hear excuses that you can't recreate it because I know you can.  Instead of using acrylic paint for the spots use nail polish.  For outlining the spots, I used a toothpick!!  So no need for brushes or paint.  Work with what you got and have fun ;)

Look What I Be Doin' | Fresh Til Death Nails

I love this nail design.  Fresh til death is what I always say.  I mean come on people, lets get real now.  I have so much swag(Something We Arabs Got).  Hehe yea I am thinking high of myself, but that is OK.  Sometimes...then it gets to the point where everyone thinks you're a bitch.   I don't get to that point, but trust me there are people who do.  People get on my nerves sometimes, especially the girl at work who didn't know what "fresh" meant.  Let me just remember everyone what it means while I'm at it.   To me it means to have good style, money, and just being myself.  And of course being clean.  LOL.  This design was simple to do.   I only had trouble with my doing my right hand because I'm right handed, but the design came out the same.   It took me two hours to do too!  Totally worth it.  

What I used to achieve this fresh design:
OPI Fly
OPI Need Sunglasses?
OPI Did it on 'em
OPI If you Moust you Moust
Layla CE 27
Wet N Wild Clear Nail Protector
Poshe Top Coat
Americana Lamp Black
Assorted rhinestones

Look What I be Doin' | Ghetto Fab Nails

I love my long nails, and what I love more about them is how much room I have for nail art.  Getting designs on my nails are costly, and honestly, I'm not about to pay for that when I can make my nails look fresh out of the nail salon.  Since I have a unique style, I must have unique looking nails.  Honestly, I think the design came out very well, and some of my friends didn't believe at first that I did them.  My nails may not be one hundred percent WTF ghetto, but they do look pretty raw in a sense that only "black/hood/ghetto/Hispanic" women may get.  Haha I don't know what I just said but listen, if you want to recreate this look on your nails with these products or whatever you have, then keep reading a little more OK? For me? :)
