Nails for My Boyfriend's Graduation

On Saturday, My boyfriend, Isaac had his graduation
For my nails I decided I wanted something super cute, with some cool nail art. That would also match my dress. I had already bought my dress so I knew what colors I wanted to use. I ended up doing a sorta of Indian/boho kind of look. Which I got tons of compliments on! I also will include a picture of my dress below.


I really love the way this design turned out. I hand painted all my nails but my ring fingers. For my ring finger I did the water marbling effect. The only trouble I had with is manicure, was finding an orange to match my dress. I thought of going out to buy one. But time never allowed so I ended up making my own. For this I used one dot of "Big Night Out" from Rimmel, three dots of "Sunny Side Up" and three dots of "Hot Tamale" from Love My Nails. This mani match my dress perfectly and I love the way they turned out.

Colors I Used:
Base Coat- "Blue Collar" from Orly
Thumb and Middle Finger: "Magic" and "Gold Dust" from Pure Ice "Warm and Fozzie" OPI and
Orange
Index and Pinky Finger: "Warm and Fozzie" OPI, "Magic" from Pure Ice and the Orange I made
Ring Finger: In water marble I used- "Gold Dust," "Best Friend" and "Magic" and "Splash" Pure Ice

Other Pictues From The Graduation!

 This was the only picture I ended up getting of my dress. Not the best picture of the dress. But it is super cute. I ended up wearing some copper wedges with it! Which went with the dress perfectly.

Dance Nails and Pics!

THE DANCE WENT AMAZING!!  I had a BLAST. For my nails I did something really fun and I love the way it turned out!



Colors I Used:
French Tip Fingers- "840 Black Heart" Sally Hansen and "Getting Miss Piggy with It" OPI
Tux- "840 Black Heart" Sally Hansen, "134 French White Tip" NYC and "Ruby Pumps" China Glaze
Bling Nail- "Ruby Pumps" China Glaze and "228 Chelsea" NYC


How I Did It:
For my Six French tip nails. I first painted my nails like you would for any French mani, except I did black tips instead of white. Next, I sponged on some red glitter to make the tips sparkle a little more.
For my two thumbs I painted one coat of "Chelsea" and then two coats on "Ruby Pumps". Once the polish had completely dried I began placing jewels. I ended up using some jewels I found at Walmart and the black jewels came from Hobby Lobby. I think for two packs of jewels I spent around 5.00$. To adhere the jewels I use kiss nail glue. For my two nails I used about 60 assorted jewels and it took my about an hour too glue them down. However, I was a little picky about the placement of the jewels. So depending on how picky you are and how many jewels you use it could take less time.
For my Tux nails, I stared by painting my whole nail black. Next, I used a fine tip brush and painted a "Y" shape from the end to the tip of my nail. I carefully filled in the top part of the "Y" with white paint. This created the shirt of my tux. I then added four white buttons on the coat part and two buttons to the shirt. To paint the bow tie, I used my dotting tool and "Ruby Slippers". I placed four dots in an "x" shape and connected them with thick lines. The tux nails look lots harder than they actually are. Just go slowly and they should turn out great.
This manicure was definitely one of my favorites and I love the way it turned out.

Something that made my Night!!!

Well, I was sitting here reading stalking all the nail blogs I read and I decided to check my own blog. I was going to post something, but I have to water mark the pictures first...  Oh the joys of water marking. Anyways, I decided to update my wish list. As I was scrolling down my blog I realized I had a FOLLOWER!!!!!! AHH I literally screamed in joy!! I have only been blogging for about two maybe almost three months and honestly I didn't excepted to be out there in nail blogging world by now. But tonight reminded me that hard work and committing myself to writing does pay off. I definitely needed to be reminded of this tonight, because I start school back Monday. I have been dreading all week getting back to pains and aggravation of school life. Plus school seems like it is going to be harder this year and I am also planning of going to college when I graduate high school. So I have all the stress of that lovely stuff going on in my life. I have been praying God leads me in the direction I should go for college. But tonight was a little reminder that all my hard work will eventually pay off. It might not be quickly but eventually it will.

Thanks Jenna for following, you made my night.
XOXO's Love, Nail Polish and Smiles,

Introducing Painted Tipz N' Toez

Hey Everyone, My name is Sierra and I am 15 years old. One of my favorite things to do is nails. I love the freedom you have when painting. I do a lot of free hand designs (even on my right hand.) I also recently got into trying so different techniques that are somewhat harder than I am used to doing.  I am making this blog to document my nail “Journey” so feel free to jump aboard and follow me. I will be posting everything from nail polish reviews, to random techniques I come across and more. I will try to blog once a week a least (hopefully more) but I make no promises. So before I go any further I would like to tell you some things about myself
10 things I want you to know about me.

1.       I am a junior in high school.

2.       Currently the brand “Pure Ice” is my favorite type of polish. (I use it all the time)

3.       I am a BIG people person and I love talking.

4.       Everyone asks if I want to go to cosmetology school. The answer has always been probably not. I really want to go to college to become a Speech Therapist.

5.       I am a Christian and love God with ALL my HEART.

6.       I LOVE sushi, nails, a good book, coffee, music, friends and family.

7.       I have been doing my nails since I was about 10 years old, so I have had TONS of practice.

8.       I am trying to find somewhere I can purchase and reasonable priced “Konad Stamper.”

9.       I follow about 20 different nail blogs (I just can’t get enough) each blog also has different ideas and I am always open to trying something new. So if you have any ideas fell free to tell me about them.

And Last but not lease number “10”

10.   I do my nails almost once a week, I find it very relaxing. I think I am immune to the chemical smell by now.

So now that I have told you a little bit about myself, I think I will get to blogging. Oh and one more thing, English is not my strongest subject so please bear with me. Hope you keep reading, Painted Tipz N' Toez.

XOXO's Love and Polish,
~Sierra.
