Yellow, Black, & White Tribal Nail Art

Happy Sunday friends! This is the 3rd week in a row that I've been able to post so I'm super excited about that. I know it doesn't sound like much, but after being gone for such a long time, I was beginning to worry about never getting around to it. I start school again tomorrow, but I hope now I've adjusted to working and going to school at the same time so I'm optimistic about being able to post (somewhat) regularly.

Today I'm sharing a simple mani I wore a couple weeks ago. Here's OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls stamped using MoYou London Artist 11 in Mundo de Unas 2. The yellow is OPI I Just Can't Cope-Acabana. I have to say, I'm super impressed with Mundo de Unas stamping polish and I'm kind of kicking myself for not buying some sooner. It's very opaque and doesn't smear when you topcoat it. Also if I make a mistake, I can just pull it off my nail with regular tape. The only weird thing I noticed is that it adheres well to my topcoat (Seche Vite Quick Dry Topcoat) and not as much as my base color and it peels off after a couple days and my base color gets left behind. Has anyone else had that happen to them? I'm not worried about it though, the pros definitely outweigh that one con!

Polynesian Tribal Tattoo Nail Art

Hi summer friends! Sorry it's been another month since I've last posted. I really wanted to do a lot of summer themed nail art since I'm out of school for now, but work has still kept me really busy. Since I last posted I went to Island Reggae Festival, celebrated my 3 year wedding anniversary, and went to Disneyland and California Adventure parks. Today I'll be sharing the mani I wore to Island Reggae Festival. It's an annual all day event that has Polynesian music artists performing at Great America and there's vendors, food, and best of all beer!

I first did a white base for the gradient with OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls. For the gradient I used OPI Red Hot Rio, OPI I Just Can't Cope-Acabana, and Essie Mojito Madness and then stamped using MoYou London Explorer 15 XL and MoYou London Explorer 19 in Konad Black.

Black and Copper Tribal Print

Happy Sunday! Nursing school has been kicking my butt and I have been dying to paint my nails! This mani is the first full mani I wore in 3 weeks! I only got to wear it for a day, but at least I got a lot of compliments on it at work. I used OPI Black Onyx and stamped using MASH 41 (middle and ring) and MASH 43 (index and pinky) in Essie Penny Talk. I hated taking this off, I thought it looked pretty awesome.

31 Day Nail Challenge--Day 16: Tribal Print

Hey lacquerheads! Today's theme is tribal print and these have been a very popular trend lately. A lot of tribal manis have a similar style and I tried that out first with one of those Sally Hansen pen/marker things. I didn't like it very much, but when I took it off, the black stained my nails and cuticles so I apologize if my cuticles look like a mess! Anyways, I decided to go with stamping because what can I say, I can't really go wrong with it lol. I used China Glaze Sunshine Pop (yellow) and China Glaze Flyin' High (turquoise) for my base colors and stamped using BM 219 and BM 221 in Konad Black, Sky Pearl, and Yellow. I quite like how these turned out!

OPI Bling Dynasty and Bundle Monster BM 221

I did this mani about 3 weeks ago. I was just too busy to post it before I left to my trip. I really like the design, it looks tribal to me. I didn't think it would cover my full nail so I decided to stamp it diagonally across my nails. For a base I used O.P.I. Bling Dynasty from the Hong Kong Collection. I love this color. It applied soo nicely and dried quickly. I only used 2 coats. There's a lot of fine glitter in this polish so it's really pretty and sparkly and super easy to remove. I used BM 221 in Konad black.

China Glaze Classic Camel and BM 219

I have more guest nails for you all today! I'll just make these next few guest nail posts quick ones since I'll be pretty busy until I leave to Hawaii on Tuesday. This is Merissa's mani. She used China Glaze Classic Camel as a base. I stamped using BM 219 in Konad black. This is actually a tip design, but it doesn't have to be used as one. I got this idea from this video by soguesswhat11. I wanted to add some gold glitter along the lines, but I didn't bring most of my nail stuff to my friend's house so I wasn't able to. Oh well, still cute!
