Happy New Year!

Wow...where did this week go?  In fact, where did this year go?  I can't believe it's officially 2010!!!

I've entered 1 contest since my last blog.  Here's a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bT_7_4w2GmM .  KawaiiNails held a contest for "Pink & Silver Love".  I entered it w/ this look.  I'm not sure if you can tell, but if you put the two fingers together, it's supposed to make a heart.  Yes, I know...I'm dorky, but I still like the look i came up with!!!

I also played around with some NYE looks, and I stayed with the black and silver one, even though my outfit was more black and gold.  I just didn't have enough gold polish to do the same look.  Plus I think it looks awesome in Black & Silver!!!

The black & gold look is basically a black asymmetrical french arrow tip, topped with a gold glitter polish (on just the tip), and then gold rhinestones along the border.  The black and silver look actually came from 3TanjaJ3's Golden Glam look.  Hers is gold and white, inspired by champagne, which I think is totally awesome.  Here's a link to my video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF-hc34xaqA , and here's a link to 3TanjaJ3's video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq835Pa1LzM .  She even commented back, saying she liked my color combo!  Hehehe, it's a good feeling!

On a side note, I did post a video of a Christmas look on YouTube.  It's just a simple look, but I'm sure if you changed the colors, you could wear it any time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovOfdjdn_C0



I included some other holiday looks I've sported through the Christmas season.  My goal this year is to keep up with making at least one video/blog post per week.  More, if possible, but I know it'll be crazy busy till March.  I also posted a snowboarding video...I know it's not beauty related, but snowboarding is like my favorite winter hobby!  You can check out my YouTube channel  (http://www.youtube.com/user/PrincessTea1) for this video if you're interested.  Just note that I'm still learning...and by no means an expert!!!

I hope everyone had an awesome NYE, and I can't wait to see how this year goes!

Inko86's Penguin Nail Art

Hey everyone!

So I saw this really cute video on YouTube by Inko86.  She entered this design into a contest for 3TanjaJ3's Christmas Nail Art Contest.  As you guys may know, I entered this contest as well.  I had a little Xmas ornament design.

Here's the link to Inko86's video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7edwq5l8-s

And here's a picture of how my nails turned out!

I didn't judge my space properly, so I didn't have enough space to do the cute santa's hat.  And that blob looking thing on my ring finger is supposed to be an igloo.  But whatever!  I still thought it turned out pretty cute!

Entry to 3TanjaJ3's Christmas Migi Nail Art Contest

Here's the look I created for 3TanjaJ3's contest.  I have two fingers because I thought I would try to do one short and one long, but they ended up looking the same anyway, LOL.

I wanted to post this last night, but I got too busy making a  FrankenPolish, heheh.  I'll definitely be blogging about that in the near future.  I have a few more posts before I can even get to that!

So here's the link to this video:

And the video itself:



It's another slideshow type video (I think I mentioned that in the last blog).  These are a lot easier to make and edit.  I just take a picture at every step, crop the photos, then put them in my move maker and add some music and titles.  The whole process only takes about an hour.  Supposing I have a free hour to spare!

What I Used:

Orly Nail Armor (Base Coat)

Orly: Silver Polish (will Edit Name Later)

China Glaze: Purple Panic (Neon)

Seche Vite Top Coat

Migi Nail Art Pen: Gold Glitter

Migi Nail Art Pen: Black

What I Did:

Step 1: Base Coat

Step 2: Two Coats of Purple Panic

Step 3:  Two Coats of Silver in the Shape of a Ball

Step 4: Gold Migi Nail Art Pen to draw top of Ornament

Step 5: Black Migi Nial Art Pen to draw design on Ornament

Step 5: Top Coat

I don't think I included a top coat in my video.  But I count that as more of a given.  Plus, everyone knows that a top coat is important.  If I don't use one, I usually explain.

So yup, enjoy!  More posts to follow soon.  I have a few looks plus my FrankenPolish!
