Disney's The Princess & the Frog Inspired Nail Art

Hello again my darlings! As I mentioned in my last post, I went to Disneyland about 2 weeks ago. I of course couldn't go to Disneyland without some Disney themed nails. I went through my plates and came up with something inspired by Disney's The Princess and the Frog movie. I used Essie Play Date and Bettina Pink Bikini for the base and stamped using MoYou London Explorer 13 (Mardi Gras mask), MoYou London Princess 07 (frog prince), Rica GLAM-01 (lips), and Bunny Nails HD-C (voodoo doll) in Mundo de Unas 21, 29, and 38. I really loved how these turned out, but even more--I loved Disneyland!!  It was probably my fifth time going, but it was my 2nd time going with my husband and it was a blast. We've already started planning another Disneyland & California Adventure trip soon.



Here's a couple of pictures of us at Disneyland

Bettina Pink Bikini & MoYou London Pro 02 XL

Happy Saturday! Man this week was so busy. My nails have been nakie for most of this week and it has finally bit me in the butt. Almost all of the corners on my blog hand chipped badly. A lot of it happened in my P.E. class yesterday. I'm pretty bummed about my nails and I refuse to round them! Lett's hope they grow out soon.

I've been telling myself this year I will venture out and try new methods of nail art. I haven't got away from stamping yet, but I did try something new using stamping and it turned out really cool! Basically what I did was paint 2 coats of a white polish on a sandwich baggie, let it dry, stamp an image on the white polish, trim to desired shape, and use as decals.


Here's what it looks like on the plastic sandwich baggie. 


Here's what it looks like when I cut and placed them on my nails. I just cleaned the rest up with acetone and added topcoat. 


Here's Morgan Taylor All White Now stamped using MoYou London Pro 02 XL in MASH Black. The Pink is Bettina Pink Bikini. My sister got me 4 Bettina polishes when she went to Puerto Rico and this was my first time using one of them. I LOVE IT! Nice buttery, creamy, opaque formula. Must get more! The black studs are from Born Pretty Store.
