I'm on YouTube! My First Tutorial! The Walking Dead Zombie Inspired Nail Art

Press Sample, Affiliate Link

Hey Everyone!

After much planning and sleepless nights of editing, I finally got my very first full length YouTube tutorial up!  I wanted my first tutorial to represent me and the things I love so I went with a Walking Dead theme because it's my fav show, neons, and nail stamping.  All things I love!




I've been doing instagram tutorials for about a year and a half and for the past 6 months or so I've been debating starting an accompaning YouTube channel.  I knew it would be a lot of work and the idea of putting my "voice" out there kind of terrified me, but then the annoyance at only having 15 seconds to show what I filmed kind of trumped my fear lol  So I jumped in!  And so far it has been very rewarding... and A LOT of work!  This first tutorial probably took me about 20 hrs total to film and edit.  OH.  MY.  That included a lot of learning on the fly though, editing a full length tutorial and doing voiceover is a completely different beast.  I have since completed 2 other full length tutorials (I will post them sometime soon on my blog lol) and I've gotten faster each time.

Anyways!  Here is a still shot of my mani!


Also, I think I want to make the size of my pics smaller like the one above.  I've previously posted them very large but I dunno, it's been annoying me lately.  Let me know how you feel!  LOL

Neon Chevron nails featuring Orly Passion Fruit and Key Lime Twist

Press Sample (Some of these items were provided for review and photography)

Hi!

You may see a lot neons from me now that it’s actually Summer in my neck of the woods, prepare yourselves. And I can never just seem to wear a plain neon, I always have to make it crazy and loud and a little obnoxious as if it wasn’t already lol I busted out an untried today, ‘Passion Fruit’ from Orly and paired it with another Orly ‘Key Lime Twist’ because ever since I used a while back it’s been sitting at my polish desk giving me puppy eyes and begging to be used! So I did and I still loves it. Check it out!

Neon Chevron nails featuring Orly Passion Fruit and Key Lime Twist

In the bottle ‘Passion Fruit’ is a red leaning pink but looks a little more pink on the nail, could be because I used a white undie. It applied easily and smoothly but I think next time I’d do 3 thin layers as opposed to 2 thicker, it looks fine but I think it might look a little nicer with 3 thin coats. It dried to a matte rubbery finish but I topped it with a glossy top coat.
