Judas Video (Part One): I’ve been throwing around designs for the Judas video forever and I’ve finally condensed the ideas and imagery from the video down into (what I’m thinking will be) three designs. So, here’s the first fairly “simple” one!  A close-up of the jacket design can be seen here.

Colors & Materials Used: Golden-I base with diamond stud stickers painted over with Red Carpet (Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear). Accent nail is You’re S-teal The One shimmery blue (Nicole by OPI), with dry brushed gold and red heart.  Chains were glued just under the tips after attaching nails for wear (and then promptly plucked off!)

illscarlett: Splatter Manicure 1. Begin by painting your nails with a light-colored polish. We used OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls. 2. Dip a slanted makeup brush or small paintbrush in a bright, saturated polish. Next, quickly dip the polish-covered brush in a bit of nail polish remover to thin it out. 3. Channel your inner preschooler and pull back on the brush to splatter polish across your nails. It’s a messy process, so make sure you’re working on a covered surface! 4. Continue splattering with as many polishes as you’d like (We used three bright colors). 5. Now comes clean-up. Begin by using a remover-soaked cotton ball to wipe away the splatters on your hands and fingers. After most of the splatters are cleaned up, switch to a small remover-dipped makeup brush to clean up the skin right around your nails. 6. Add a top coat and get ready to answer “How did you do that?” for the rest of the day. This is such a fun, unexpected look!

Hey guys! So I would reallyyy like to start selling nails. The only thing is I wouldn’t know how to package them so the nails don’t break. Any tips/suggestions would be awesome! 

Send tips my way too! Thanks!

And me!!! (I was thinking pillow boxes but I don’t know where to get them in bulk cheaply, or some of those gift jewelry boxes stuffed with cotton, but again don’t know where to get the right size cheaply.)

Born This Way Ball Tour Poster: Here they are!  My first design ever for the Born This Way Ball!  Once again, I was able to incorporate a recent nail art trend into the design: galaxy nails! (thanks, Gaga!)

Colors & Materials Used: (I pretty much just kept on adding until these looked right, so bear with me!) Black base coat with sponged on colors, and glitter top coats. Sponged colors include grey, Mint Sorbet and Bubblegum Pink (Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - used as bases against the black for the following colors), Rise and Shine teal and Dream On magenta (Sinful Colors), Halley’s Comet sparkly teal (Orly).  White “stars” were added, followed by Rockstar Pink glitter (Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear), and Tiara silver glitter (Orly).  Accent piano key nail was striped with white, then “keys” were define with a black nail art pen.

Phew. That’s a lot of layers! If you’ve never tried galaxy nails before, like I hadn’t, tutorials are easily found on YouTube.

Next week I’m very excited to post a sort of Nail Challenge that my lovely monster friend, Sarah, suggested we try (Gaga herself recently tweeted her regarding her hooker nails!)  We both did designs based on the same Gaga image, and then compared.  It’s funny how similar they turned out based on the techniques we chose! Coming next weekend!
