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!

Walking Dead Zombie Inspired Neon Nail Art

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 Sharpie Heart Stamping Nail Art

Press Sample,  Affiliate Code

Hey Everyone!

I've been seriously in love with Sharpie manis lately, and I just can't stop lol I love the brightness, how easy they are, and they're just in yo face!  LOVE This was also the second time I tried out the Clear Jelly Stamper that was sent to me for review, and I'm digging it.  Who knew placement could be so damn easy?

Let's get to it.

I'm all about dat base, dat base...ok old irrelevant joke lol Painted Polish Midnight Mischief has quickly become my fav black base and black stamping polish fo real.  If you are a thick coat painter this is definitely a 1 coater and is crazy opaque for stamping.  I love how with the Clear Jelly Stamper I could really get the composition of those hearts!

To paint with the sharpies, I draw with them onto wax paper and then using 91% Rubbing alcohol aka isopropyl with a brush you can pick up the marker from the wax paper and apply to the nail.  So fun!

Here's what I used for this mani:

-Black - Painted Polish Midnight Mischief
-White - Rica Polish White Out
-Sharpies and 91% rubbing alcohol
-Bursh - Twinkled T Cotton Dandy Brush set - Use code TWISTAR for 10% off!
-Stamp plate - Clear Jelly Stamper CJS V-02
-Stamper - Clear Jelly Stamper
-Top coat - Glisten & Glow HK Girl Top Coat

Have you tried using sharpies for nail art?

Thanks for stopping by!
