Christmas Nail Design - Poinsettia Inspired French Manicure

Here is a Christmas nail design for you guys! I am thinking of having at least one other Christmas design, but Christmas is in only 6 days, so we'll see! I do, however, want to get a few more winter designs!

I give this design an 'E'... for effort. :P LOL. The french is ok, but the poinsettia didn't turn out as good as I wanted it to be. Let's just say it actually looks a lot better in person. (It really does). Every time I look back at the pictures I took, I keep thinking how less and less it looks like a poinsettia, and more and more like... fire. LOL. I think the colors stand out more in person, and it just looks a little better. :P

Visit my Youtube.

If you did this design, or any others of mine, send me a picture at:

simplenaildesigns@gmail.com

I'd love to see it. (:

Watch the video on Youtube for a bigger picture.

Hope you enjoy the design! Let me know if you tried this and how it worked for you. Thanks for watching!

Sunflower Inpsired Nail Art Tutorial

This was just a really quick nail design I came up with on a sudden whim.... for some reason I've always wanted to do a sunflower nail design. Don't ask me why.

These are quite simple, they just take a little bit of patience. I tried to simplify it as best I could with step-to-step instructions. Let me know how you did if you tried it! (:

Pink Leopard Print Nail Art Tutorial

-Please read!- (: Ok, wow I'm really sorry! (I know, lame :P) I made this video like... Friday? And then Adobe Media Encoder (how I save my videos) crashed and I couldn't get it fixed until last night at like... 7. So I saved my video and uploaded it on to youtube. Usually it takes about 4 hours for my videos to upload and then an hour or so for it to process, and then it's finally where you can see it. Welll... this one took 5 hours just to upload, and it still wasn't done. So I went to bed and when I got up... it had like just uploaded. Anyways, so I went to watch it and... it wasn't the video. It was raw footage that I uploaded thinking it was the video. Maybe I saved the wrong file? I'm not sure though because I was almost sure it was the right one. To make matters worse, I have the flu. Yea. It's like really bad. :( Anyways, enjoy the video! :D

These really simple leopard nails are so cute and easy! The hardest part is painting your base color... (;

Of course you can do them in any color... the traditional browns and golds, or you could try something more exotic like purple or green. (:

Btw, I got a new mic. Can you tell? It's a mic that was actually used for a radio station, so it's a pretty good one. (: It's HUGE. ahaha.

Visit my YouTube.

If you did this design, or any others of mine, send me a picture at: simplenaildesigns@gmail.com or post a video response! I'd love to see it. (:

Hope you enjoy the design! Let me know if you tried this and how it worked for you. Thanks for watching!

Sock Monkey Inspired Easy Nail Art Tutorial

_______________________________________________

I'm really sorry about the static in the background when I talk!! I'm getting a new mic very very soon, so that will hopefully not be there in upcoming videos.

This is a really cute sock monkey inspired nail design! I hope you enjoy (:

Since I was doing my design upside down, the first time when I put the mouth on, I mad it a frown!! Woops! It ended up looking like the evil monkey on Toy Story 3 (; I had to change it, of course.

Halloween Nail Art Quickie - Spider Nails

These cute little spider decors are a cinch to add to your nails! With just a few minutes time, you can have these 'more cute than spooky spiders' on your nails.

My family and I aren't that big on Halloween, however, we do dress up for it. I came up with these spider nails with that in mind - nothing too spooky, and something pretty cute. We don't necessarily think of Halloween as a holiday, but more of a day to act silly and dress up with friends, and have clean fun :D But I do know that a lot of people go all out for Halloween, so I decided I would do some designs, and it was requested by someone over on YouTube. I hope you like them, even if they aren't that scary!

Hope you enjoy the design! Let me know if you tried this and how it worked for you. Thanks for watching!

Tiny Update & Nerdy Math Nails

Sooo.... sorry I haven't put up a tutorial in a week. Just thought I would say I won't be able to get a tutorial up for another week, at least! I'm going on a trip all weekend (Fri-Sun) so it's going to be harder to make one with Saturday out. I also have been focusing on schoolwork instead of nail tutorials, so I apologize for that! I really would love to make tutorials like 3 times a week, but realistically it can't happen.

Meanwhile, here is a nail design that I did that wasn't something I would make in to a tutorial, but I thought they were pretty funny.


Pinky - Addition 
Ring - Subtraction

 
Middle - Multplication
Pointer - Division

Thumb - Pi

Heh heh, just showing you my nerdy side. (Btw, if I memorized the first 20 numbers of pi, does that make me a nerd?!) Haha, anyways....
P.S.
Heh heh.

Back To School - Pencil Nail Art Design

Okay guys, I know I'm late! :( Buuut, maybe you can still used this design?? Hopefully?
Anyways, this is a realllly cute design! It's the top of a pencil, and I absolutely love it! Haha... I know it was a real quick and easy design, but hopefully you will still like it (:

Another thing - I am so sorry about the audio! I know it's terrible, but I have a crappy mic and this was the first time I narrated it in this editing system. I actually can't narrate it in Premiere Pro (or not that I know of. You probably can, but I haven't figure it out yet) so I'm narrating it in this cheap-o voice recording system. Next time I am hoping it will be better. There's really loud static in the background, and it's terribly quiet! Maybe if you turn your speakers all the way up you can hear it? SO sorry about that! It seriously wouldn't go any louder. I spent days trying to figure it out but failed. Miserably.

Colors used:
Basecoat
L.A. Colors Color Craze - Yellow (it doesn't have a name)
Mini Sally Hansen Hard As Nails - Silver (It doesn't have a name either)
Love My Nails - Palest Mauve

Hope you enjoyed!! Please let me know in the comments if you tried this design, or send me some pics at:

Pink and White Polka Dot Nail Tutorial

Well hello all my lovely ladies! It's been a while hasn't it? I've been a little MIA lately. Hopefully that's gonna change soon but with school starting I'm not so sure that's gonna happen.
So I got a new camera and I'm using a new editing system. Both took a while to get used to, and that was the main reason I haven't gotten a video up in what, like 2 months?? Haha that's terrible. Like seriously who neglects their blog/youtube that long? ME... hate to say it, but it's true.



You can click here to visit my youtube channel. Mostly it's just nail videos to put on my blog but I might have some other things up. Who knows? Haha.

Um ok so yea here's a little about this, well uh, simple nail design:

This was originally done by luxoriousnails and I am not taking credit for coming up with this design.

Colors used:
NYC - Pink Promenade
Love My Nails - White
Love My Nails - Milky Way

This picture is kinda pointless because like you can't see the design at all, but I figured I would put it on since it has no where else to go.

Fourth of July - American Flag Nail Design

I'm sooo excited for this design!! I love it. It is inspired by an American flag for Fourth of July. Of course it will work for any day or occasion. I had to get this up tonight, because we have family coming tomorrow. And just to let you know, don't expect any nail designs until after the 7th of July. We have family coming and leaving on that day, and I probably won't get another tutorial up until a few days, or maybe a week, after that. Sorry!

Colors I used:
Jordana's Hot Red
Art Deco's Blue Glitter
Art Deco's White
Art Deco's Silver Glitter
Love My Nails' White

If you don't have a thin brush polish, you can use a thin paint brush, toothpick, or even an old eyeliner brush.
 The design starts at 1:31

Bumble Bee Nail Design

Hi everyone!! Sorry I got this up pretty late, but here is the 5th nail design!! I got requested to do this, and I thought it would be really cute! It is so much fun, and pretty easy too. It's really cute for spring because that's when all those pesky bee's get ready to come out in the summer and sting you. But I can't "bee" (lol, get it?) to hard on them because I like honey ;) Anyway, without further delay, here it is!
