Valentine's Day 2015

            With Valentine's Day tomorrow, I figured I should probably post one of the nail arts I did this month. I would love to do that however, I am experiencing technical difficulties with the upload not working for some reason, I am unable to. So, instead I will post a picture or two of my nail designs for Valentine's Day on the Facebook page and answer any questions on how I completed those looks. If you recreate, please tag. would love to see them! Thanks for stopping by and have a great Valentine's Day!

Gallbladder/Bile Duct Cancer Awareness

Now, we all know cancer can be a nasty foe. However, the more you know the more you grow. As I stated in my last post, which I do apologize for being absent, I will be going through the different awareness for each month. Thank you for bearing with me and today I will be posting two tutorials for February's cancer awareness. The color of the month is Kelly Green.

This look was achieved very simply with a clear nail polish, nail striper nail polish, gems, and a top coat. The color used for the green is Kelly Green. It is a shade lighter and not as neon as Lime Green. Begin with your base coat to protect your natural nail. After that has dried apply a thin line at the top of your nail right under the line created by your over hang, if you have short nails you can create the crescent shape a little above halfway up the nail. Then fill in with your striper polish. Once that has dried, apply a top coat and grab your gems and place them in the middle of the nail crescent on the bottom part of the nail. Then apply another layer of top coat to secure your green gems. Voila, this look is complete and simple. I was unable to find Kelly Green gems otherwise I would have used those.

For this look, I did use Kelly Green however due to my pants and that my base color was white it made it pop and look more like Lime Green. Still, moving forward. What you will need is of course base and top coat, green glitter, green gems, white polish, kelly green acrylic paint, and possibly tape. Start off with your base coat to protect your natural nail. Next apply your base color of white. You may need to apply two coats to ensure opacity. After that has dried, from thumb to ring finger create a chevron shape closer to the cuticle. You can achieve this with a striper brush and paint or feel free to tape off. Fill in with your kelly green to the tip. While that is drying apply a top coat to the pinkies and sprinkle on your green glitter, go a little crazy with it. While that is drying apply a top coat to the other four fingers and apply your green gems. Allow all your nails time to dry and apply another layer of top coat to seal in your design and you are done! 

There you have it! I hope for those of you following that this helps with some new ideas. For a good cause, these designs are simple, elegant and effective. If you replicate these designs feel free to tag Razzmatazz Nails on Facebook. Have a wonderful February!
