complicatedwishes Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I recently got a nail art kit. I sat for a while thinking what theme I could do for my first attempt with them. I decided on pac-man! Here's how they turned out, I know I messed the thumb up :( lol Emily, hrtbrk, Mouseykins and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashbash Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Oh my gosh, those are really cute! Nice job! I love nail art. I used to look at tons of it on pinterest. I don't usually do anything too fancy as I'm not that talented. I tend to stick to using shatter or the "half moon" look. I just bought magnetic nail polish the other day but haven't gotten around to trying it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
complicatedwishes Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 Thank you :) I've never done any kind of nail art before but I'm proud with how it came out for a first try. I did some cupcakes on my nails last night but only a few of them on each finger ended up looking sort of decent. I think I'm gonna look around and see what other designs people have done and have a go at them. I want to have a go at neopets related designs, but it's so hard being that creative :( although a lady in my guild submitted her neo nail art into the art gallery and hers was selected. I think hers was the first nail art to ever have been put into the gallery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haliaetus Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Your nails look awesome! :) I've always wanted to do nail art myself, but I don't think anything would come out that decent for me at all. You should still give a shot at some neo related ones and see how they do turn out. ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbleline Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 How adorable! I used to do really elaborate nail arts that took me hours to complete...back when I had time, lol. I'm thinking about starting to do it again though, I miss getting all the compliments on my fabulous nails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEE. Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Aw,those are so cute! I've always wanted to have a go at nail art, but I need to buy the brushes for it.. I would like to paint the Union Jack on my fingers in time for the Olympics :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmacow Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Man, that is wild! And for a first attempt, that is amazing. Impressive. I can't even make a single colour look good, it looks like a five year old painted my nails, when I do it. I actually just got my first ever manicure today, but it's just plain black, nothing fun or interesting. But I am enjoying having nice painted nails for once.

complicatedwishes Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 Thank you guys! I definitely will have a go at some neo ones :) I wish I was more steady-handed though! and yes it's hard to find time to do my nails even like the pac man ones :O which are pretty basic to do. And yes! the union jack is an awesome idea, you should do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizyMarie Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Omg omg omg!!! freakout!!! That is so adorable!! I wish someone would do my nails like that. xD they are never painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
complicatedwishes Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 Nail art pens (even cheap ones) don't cost that much. I managed to get a big batch of different colours, including glittery ones for under £20 from ebay :) you should definitely have a go with some if you feel like you'd like to have a play around with them!

neon_nightingale Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 They look amazing! I'd love to have a go at nail art but my hands aren't that steady. I'd love to see some neo related nail art! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
complicatedwishes Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 I will definitely have a go at some neo related nails for you guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haliaetus Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I will definitely have a go at some neo related nails for you guys! Don't forget to post a picture when you do! ;) I'd love to see how they turn out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashbash Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Neo nail art sounds like it would look really cool. If you do something like that you should definitely submit it to neo too! You never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haliaetus Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Neo nail art sounds like it would look really cool. If you do something like that you should definitely submit it to neo too! You never know. True! Didn't even think of that. It could be accepted into the art gallery. Next time go for the neo nails, definitely! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emily Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 So cute! We must keep this thread. I'm a nail polish addict (I'm talking hundreds of bottles) and am always looking for new designs. Easiest way to clean up around cuticles is to take a medium pointed-tipped paintbrush dipped in acetone or polish remover and just go around the cuticles. You'd be surprised in the difference it makes in the finished look. Keep the pics coming! I'll be sure to post next time I do art (been using all my polishes from China Glazes Hunger Games collection, so no art until I've worn them all!)

Nataluna Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 <3 aww those are adorable! i love nail art but sadly it never turns out as well as i hope :P also i tend to be really careless and damage it easily. like Emily said, i also would love to see new piccy's whenever you do them, normally i just do nail stickers so love the insipration! also i just like looking pretty things ^_^ <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
complicatedwishes Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 I will do and I'll definitely take a photo :) Thank you guys, and thank you for the tip about the cuticles! And yes if you guys do any nail art you should post photos too :D and I love looking at pretty things too <3 hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashbash Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Speaking of polish, I'm not a big Nicki Minaj fan but her collection is super cute. I've been wearing those colors a lot lately. I love Katy Perry's too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
complicatedwishes Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 I haven't seen their polishes but I wear Katy Perrys false eyelashes hehe :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashbash Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Haha I've seen those around but never had them. Katy Perry's collection was what introduced Shatter/crackle type polishes back into the world lol. Teenage dream is my favorite but with black shatter over it: Mouseykins and Emily 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
complicatedwishes Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 That's actually so pretty. I love the colour pink and sparkles on basically anything though haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nataluna Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 *is immediately attracted by anything sparkly* and pink! <3 my favorite at the moment is a silver glitter polish, very basic, but i usually have a pink overcoat i also have smelly overcoats, they smell like different perfumes, the candy one is my favorite, but.. if i wear it i can get weird looks for smelling my nails. :sick02: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
complicatedwishes Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 Hahaha! I love silver polish. I've never actually seen/bought smelly overcoats :O must look out for them! I think ready for my holiday in Turkey not this Tuesday but next, I'm going to get some shellac nails done so I don't need to keep touching them up whilst I'm away.
