Color Me So Crazy

I hope you have enjoyed my St. Patricks Day Treats today. I am going to leave you with these for tonight. I would love to see what you can do with them. You can even save them for next year! So for this tutorial, I will show you how to do a leprechaun hat, four leaf clover, and a pot of gold. THE LEPRECHAUN HAT 1. Choose your base color. I am going to do green :)  2. Make a rectangle 3. Make another smaller rectangle on the bottom of the first   4. Add your gold buckle. I just used a regular striper.  Colors Used: NYC- Highline Green Wet n Wild- Ebony Hates Chris Sinful Colors- Flower Girl FOUR LEAF CLOVER 1. Paint your nail a base color. I used a light green 2. Next draw a starburst (of sorts) with 8 ends 3. You are going to use those ends as the base of each leaf. For the tips of the leaf, you want to make a heart shape. So kind of make 4 little tiny hearts on those 8 ends. 4. Fill in your tiny hearts. 5. M...

So along with any other holiday, I have to bring you a tutorial. I used to loooove St. Patricks Day when I was working at Finnigans, but since then I have been kind of blagh about it. I miss that place, the people there and all the laughs I had. I really do. It's been a little over a year since I worked with all of those people and it seems like yesterday. I miss them all more than ever. Hopefully we will be able to all get together again soon, but for now I can always smile thinking about the times I have had. For my fantastic St. Patricks Day mani I decided to do a little skittle. I also have some tutorials to show you a little later today. Be sure to stay tuned!! Colors Used: Blue Eyed Girl Lacquers- BEGL Go Bragh (I have a special post on this one tomorrow since I named it) Hit Polish- Blarney Stone Sinful Colors- San Francisco Sinful Colors- Flower Girl Sinful Colors- Worn Before Sinful Colors- Simple but Fun I did a simple half french striper with some gold an...

For these days leading up to the official day of love, I have decided to give you all a little bit of EASY to pamper yourself and to MAKE YOU PRETTY! That is always my goal, "make me pretty". I want to explain this a little because it's not the pretty that you see on TV or in the magazines, it's the pretty that you see when you look in the mirror. I have struggled with seeing myself in anything but a negative light when I looked in the mirror. Blogging has helped me through this. Other ladies in the community encouraging me to keep going and complimenting me. So... my challenge to you is to do things for yourself. Do things for yourself and say "MAKE ME PRETTY" when you're doing them. My goal in bringing you tutorials and products reviews are to show you the things out there are that don't cost thousands of dollars and don't require diets or surgery, but only require a little "me time" So.... check my #makemepretty hastags to see how ...

So during my extensive google searches on Nail Art Tutorials, I came across this Distressed Nail Art Tutorial from Chalkboard Nails . I love Chalkboard Nails . She was one of the first blogs I started following and one of the reasons why I keep doing what I am doing. She has some of the most gorgeous swatches and nail art I have ever seen!! Anyway, here is what I did with her tutorial. It is nothing close to the greatness of her original, but I tried. Right?!? Colors Used: Finger Paints: Lavender Highlight Sinful Colors- Daredevil Maybelline- Bold Gold Revlon- Royal Funky Fingers- Bizerk Turq Wet n' Wild- Ebony Hates Chris

My son helped me pick out this weeks NCC design out. This is inspired by cutepolish. cutepolish has a series, I mean a TON of videos and over 1.7 million followers!! Like that is EPIC!! Anyway, my son saw these and told me I HAD to to these. You can find the video on her YouTube channel- HERE . As you can see, my nails are inspired by cutepolish and her Stormtrooper tutorial. My son is a huuuuuge Star Wars fan and these seemed easy enough for me to do. I used 2 colors for this!! Wahooooo for that!! Sinful Colors- Snow Me White Wet n' Wild- Ebony Hates Chris In case you haven't't noticed, these are my go to black and whites!! I recently switched to the Wet n' Wild and so far I love it for undies and stamping!! 2 in 1. That's what I like!!

So, here is yet another easy Christmas tutorial to do. It's my candy cane tutorial. The fun thing about this is there are sooooo many patterns you can do for candy canes. There are rainbow candy canes, candy canes with only thick lines, small candy canes, you get my point. So as long as there are some color and lines, you can make candy canes. Polish Used: Sinful Colors- Snow Me White Sinful Colors- Ruby Ruby KBShimmer- I Only Have Ice for You Step 1: Paint your nails with your base color. I chose white because I am going for the traditional candy cane color.   Step 2: *Optional* I added a little silver holo glitter just for the fancy smancy of it. This is not necessary, but just a little addition to make it ColorMeSoCrazy Step 3: I added striping tape in the pattern that I wanted. Don't forget that where you do not put the tape, your top color will show. For this pattern, I will decided to do some thick and skinny red stripes as well as a thick and ski...
