New York City inspired nails!

Hello readers.

Before I get into the details of this nail art, i'd like too remind everyone to please check out my facebook page Nat Kat Nails by clicking here. So I got a request to do some New York inspired nails, and I happily accepted. I really like how these came out! I started with a gradient to look like a night sky after a sunset, and then added the skyline. I then painted 'NYC' in black on my thumb, but decided it needed something to bring it to life, so I added rhinestones all around it and I think it really gives it the feel I was going for! I really love how the 'NYC' on my thumb looked with the rhinestones.

Deep red nails with one stroke roses and rhinestones!

Hello readers,

So I took many pictures of these nails but ended up with only a few good ones to show you all. This color is so stunning in real life, might be one of my favorites! Although the polish formula isn't perfect, the color is just so flattering. I did some one stroke roses over this deep blood color and added some rhinestones for the rose buds. Also, don't forget to check out and 'like' my facebook page Nat Kat Nails, and you can see it by clicking here. Onto the pictures!

I'm posting some swatches soon of some new polishes I got. What do you think of this mani? Let me know in the comments below!

Bridal taupe nails with white roses, rhinestones, and a silver accent nail!

Hello readers,

Sorry it's been a while since my last post. I've had these on for longer than usual and I think they look quite nice. I recently filed my nails down just to have a change, so they're pretty short. I matched my nails to my outfit for a party, the taupe and white roses are from my ivory lace dress, the rhinestones and silver accent nail are from my sandals. The colors I used are Essie Sand Tropez, Sally Hansen Celeb City, and white acrylic paint.

 Last but not least, this is the picture I put on my instagram account (@yazmin_nat). The lace in the background is from my lace dress.

I'm pretty happy with these, what do you think of these nails? Would you wear them? Let me know in the comments below!

Essie Licorice with rhinestone triangles!

Hello readers,

I'm really excited to show you this manicure! This will be a picture heavy post, but I had so much fun with these nails. I took pictures holding a bottle of China Glaze Liquid Leather, just because I didn't have my bottle of Essie Licorice in hand. You can get the same effect with either polish though, they are both plain black polishes with glossy finishes and good formulas.

 Since this manicures base color is a plain black, I took the opportunity to take some pictures with colorful things in the background. I bought this cool new Monster Energy Drink can, that was pink, and I collect Monster tabs in all colors so I took some pictures with those.

This manicure is really simple, easy, and elegant. It's really classy with black, but you an use any base color you'd like. I did this manicure with a peach color, and will post pictures of that sometime soon. On to the pictures!

 With a Monster Energy Drink can.

I love these nails and I love how the pictures came out. What do you think of this mani? Let me know in the comments below!

Silver french tip nails with flowers

Hello readers,

Just a quick post today with some pictures of an old manicure I did a couple of months ago. This is a simple french with silver tips and pink one stroke flowers. I finished off the manicure with some pearls  that you can purchase here.

I'll soon swatch a shade from Essie's new summer 2013 collection. What do you think of this mani? Let me know in the comments below!

Blacklight reactive triangles with rhinestones!

Hello readers,

I recently bought some inexpensive blacklight reactive nail polish, since i'm waiting to buy the new Illamasqua Paranormal collection because it's pretty expensive. The polish used in this has no name, but it's a really pretty teal that looks almost like a minty green in some lighting, and comes in an edgy skull shaped nail polish bottle.

The polish was pretty sheer, but nothing terrible. I've applied two thicker coats, top coat, and then painted in small triangles using black acrylic paint and a detail brush before applying the rhinestones.

Under blacklight!

These were really fun and eye catching while I had them. What do you think of this mani? Let me know in the comments below!

Lazy nails!

Hello readers! So a quick post today before I get on to reviewing some Essie Polish. I was really lazy and decided to keep the rhinestone accent nail I had in the previous mani, but I repainted the rest with China Glaze Refresh Mint.

Essie Butler Please review and rhinestone accent nail!

Hello readers! So, I'm gonna start swatching and reviewing some Essie polish. However, i'm not going to post it all at once, but look forward to some reviews in the upcoming posts. So to start off the reviews, a review of Essie Butler Please. I didn't take pictures before I added a rhinestone accent nail, sorry.

Essie Butler Please is a bright and vivid blue. It is almost a royal blue color, but lighter, a very beautiful shade. Although this shade is nice and very fun, I didn't find it particularly flattering on my tanned skin. The formula of polish was well pigmented, however, it dries super fast, too fast for my liking because it caused some balding/ patching to occur when I went over the same place twice so I had to work quickly. The polish dries satin, so I had to use top coat. All pictures show two coats and top coat.

Under artificial light, my skin looks way more tan than it is in real life, it actually shows a better picture of what the color looks like though in real life though.

In shade.

I love this picture, the blue came out so nice here! I'll soon continue with more reviews with some nail art in between that. What do you think of this mani? Let me know in the comments below!

Leopard print nail art with rhinestone heart feat. Essie Bond With Whomever

Hello readers! So today I have a leopard print mani with a rhinestone heart on the accent nail. Essie Bond With Whomever is such a pretty and summery lilac creme. All pictures show two coats of Essie Bond With Whomever with free handed leopard print and topcoat. Today's post will be picture heavy so stay tuned!

   This picture was taken under artificial light.

 And this last picture was taken in direct sunlight:)

What do you think about this mani? Let me know on the comments below! I will soon do some swatches and reviews of  Essie polish I have recently purchased, so stay tuned!

Better shot of leopard print french mani:)

Today's post is just a quick close up of my leopard print mani. This picture was taken under artificial light and the leopard print came out really good here. The gold polish used in this mani is Maybelline's Color Show in shade 70 Bold Gold.  The leopard is black and brown acrylic paint.

Detailed nail art with rhinestones!:)

I really love this design, the red used here is China Glaze Salsa and is actually darker than this in person. Since China Glaze Salsa was darker and not as vibrant as I wanted it to be, I applied a thin coat of  Rimmel London 60 Seconds Vinyl Shine in shade 824 Pillar Box. The Rimmel London polish is a bright candy apple jelly which wouldn't reach full opacity on it's own. The result was this bright candy apple red with a jelly like shine. All of the small designs were done using black and white acrylic paint.

Leopard Print!

Leopard print mani with rhinestones! This picture came out really blurry and the leopard print didn't come out so good in this picture. Bummer, but you can see how sparkly the rhinestones are! I'll post a better pic of this mani soon and will mention the polishes used in this mani as well.
