Nails of the week: Cookie Monster Nails!

12:08 AM


I actually saw this and I thought, "Lemme try!" So I decided to show you guys just how I did it!

STEP 1: THE COLORS I USED


3 OUT 4 OF THESE HAD NO NAMES...So I matched them as I best as I can. The black is "Ebony Hates Chris" By Wet N' Wild . The other three, I would suggest finding similar ones to the blue, white, and brown :)

NOTE: YOU WILL ALSO NEED A BOBBY PIN OR A THIN POINTY BRUSH!

STEP 2: BASE COLORS ONLY and ADD THE CHIPS


You can choose any nail to paint the cookie monster on. I chose ONE and it was on my thumb, so I used my blue to paint my thumb the color of Cookie Monster. The rest I painted the brownish/gold and with my bobby-pin end I made dots to make it look like Chocolate Chips.

STEP THREE: THE COOKIE MONSTER!

Once your choice of finger for The Cookie Monster dries, Use your bobby-pin to make TWO white dots. I let that dry while I used the thin brush to make the mouth of the Cookie Monster. I let my nails dry before I went to add the eyeballs. Once the nail was COMPLETELY DRY, I used the bobby-pin to make two smaller black dots within the white eyeballs. Some people do the black dots crazy and others do em even. I did mine a tad bit crazy...after all he is the cookie monster.


DONE!

SPLATTER NAILS!

Recently one of my besties over at Clumps of Mascara did this and she got it from ThePolishAholic..so I thought, "Why not give it a try!"

What you will need:



* 1- Base nail color of your choice (I chose white)

* AS MANY- Other colors of your choice (I chose hot pink, blue, &purple)

* Depending on how many colors you choose, straws (I used 4 straws, one straw per color)

* and a top coat (if desired)


The two blogs used tape to keep the cuticles as clean as possible, however I didnt...Ima a rebel like that

So what do you do:

1- Apply your base color and make sure its FULLY dry

2.   Dip your straw into the nail polish of choice and aim it at your nails and blow through the not dipped end to splatter the polish onto your nail. I sometimes found a good “blow” worked and other s a smaller “blow” worked. Up to you what kind of “Blow” floats your boat.  




I did one color at a time, until I used all the colors I wanted.
(First I started with splattering the pink, then blue, then purple)



Yes it looks messy, however afterwards I cleaned it up with a tiny bit of acetone and water (Don’t use a cotton ball, use a q-tip or a tiny brush)

Woah-la!


What color are your nails this week?

Have you tried this?

If not, are you gonna splatter your nails?
