Nail Art Theme Week for December

Japanese

Today is day 5, the last day, of December's Nail Art Theme Week I'm participating in with a few blogger friends of mine and I actually really enjoyed this week's theme! At first I was going to hunt down whoever thought of Japanese because I couldn't think of what I could possibly do and it ended up being my favorite so far! You just never know until you try I guess.

Today I have Hello Kitty and argyle...

For this mani I used Wet n Wild Wild Shine French White and Black Creme as usual and Milani Yellow Whiz for the nose. The silver is Milani Flashy Silver and the 2 pinks are Kiko 288 and 290.

I have had a few requests for a tutorial on argyle nails since the last one I did so I'll be putting something together on that soon.

Thanks for checking out all the theme week manicures! Have a look below to see all the others we've done this week! ♥

Have a GREAT WEEKEND!

December Nail Art Theme Week: Geisha Nails

Nothing to Disclose

♥

One week a month, I team up with a few other blogger friends for a theme week. This week the theme is Japanese. 

Today I've done a Geisha mani for you. ♥

Red: Chanel Lotus Rouge
Pink: Zoya Shelby 
Tan: China Glaze Kalahari Kiss 
Yellow: Milani Yellow Whiz (yes, that's the real name lol) 
Aqua: Chanel Nouvelle Vague
Grey: (for the lines in the fan) Essence Movie Star (mixed with a little white - because yes I was too lazy to get up and go get a lighter grey LOL)

I use Wet n Wild Wild Shine Black Creme and French White nearly every time I need a black or white.

I used a long, thin striping brush and dotting tools and I'm pretty sure I held my tongue just right - you know, sticking out of the left corner of my mouth. 

Be sure and check out the other great manis from my blogger friends below!

Nail Art Theme Week: Japanese - Day One Japanese Pine Silhouette Against the Flag of Japan

Nothing to Disclose

♥

It's time for Nail Art Theme Week for December! One week a month, I team up with a few other blogger friends for a theme week. This week the theme is Japanese.

I must admit, when I heard the theme, I was stumped for nail art ideas - and I found out that, ashamedly, I know very little about Japanese culture. Thanks to some great programming on the History Channel, I know more about Japan and their contributions to society from an historical viewpoint, but nothing about NOW! I really need to visit Japan. I know I would love it.

So anyway, here's my first entry...

I was actually pretty proud of this one! Of course I had my friend in Japan make sure that the characters do, in fact, say Japan - as opposed to, you know, soup.

I used Wet n Wild Shine French White and Black Creme along with Essence Do You Speak Love for the red.

Be sure and check out the other great manis from my blogger friends below!
