#31DC2014 - Day 16: Geometric

Whenever I do tribal inspired nails, I tend to just go wild and do whatever I feel like on each nail. You can check out some of the ones I've done here and more recently, here.

I went with a different method this time. I was inspired by a sweater that I own.

You can certainly bet that the polishes used were Wet N' Wild Wild Shine - Black Creme and Sinful Colors - Snow Me White.

This print has more of a geometric, or Southwestern style to it.

Yet again, here is something that I've never worn. It's so cute and perfect for Fall. I'm patiently waiting for it to be cool enough for me to wear. Of course, if the temps could just get below 90, I'd be happy.

Polka Dots & Tribals & Cutouts, Oh My!

In my days blogging, I've learned some styles of nail art just stay popular and people seem to like them more than others. Two that always get me a lot of compliments are polka dots and tribal designs. So I decided to combine them and throw in some nude nail cutouts to make it interesting.

Yea, I'm pretty much in love with these.

I love how my right pointer finger kind of looks like a bird face.

I used Wet N' Wild - Tickled Pink for the base and Wet N' Wild - Black Creme and a Kiss Nail Art Striper in black for the designs.

I love doing tribal nails just to play and come up with different designs on each nail. Throw in polka dots and cutouts and you've got the icing AND the cherry!

Chalkboard Nails Nail Art Contest: Cool Or Warm

Hey guys! Here's some nails I did for the Cool Or Warm nail art contest over at Chalkboard Nails.

The rules are to either choose warm colors or cool colors to do nail art with, black and white are freebies.

I chose warm colors. I found my striper polishes that I got when I first started getting into nail art and they're still useable. Dude a striper brush sure makes things easier to do. I wanted to try out tribal nails again, and just did random patterns. Call these tribal, call them geometric, whatever they are, they were a lot of fun to do!

My right ring finger is a nod to Mr.Candiipants. I did that nail with a toothpick. Pssh, I still picked up my trusty toothpick, even though I had the stripers! 

I used:
Wet N' Wild Wild Shine - French White Creme
Wet N' Wild Wild Shine - Tickled Pink
Wet N' Wild Wild Shine - Sunny Side Up
Sinful Colors - Ruby Ruby
Sinful Colors - Bianca
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri - Mango Motion
L.A. Girl Disco Brites - Psychedelic
L.A. Colors Art Deco Stripers - Black
L.A. Colors Art Deco Stripers - Hot Pink
L.A. Colors Art Deco Stripers - Red

Yeaaaa I used a lot of polishes for this one. Who knew I owned that many colors in the same color family? I wonder if anyone else doing this contest realizes they own way too many similar shades. Also, I didn't really get a good pic of my right thumb and I really liked that one.

I'm resisting the urge to make this Miss DeVious DiVa's Blog Of Tribal Geometric Nails. I'm for sure gonna do this again, and add in pops of blue and green. It's been HOT in Cali these last few days, SOMETHING'S gotta be cool, even if it's just my nails.

Trying Out Tribal Nails

Well hello there! I'm back after a couple weeks of not much nail action. If you follow me on Instagram (@MissDeViousDiVa orrrrrr CLICK HERE to see my pics on your computer) then you might've seen a preview of this design, along with some practice art I did.

If not, here it is. I tried out my first tribal nail art the other day.

The fabric under my hand is from the dress I was wearing. I tried to match it but it's so intricate, it was complicated to do on the nail. Much love to the artists out there who do those complicated designs on their nails!

I used:
Wet N' Wild Wild Shine - Black Creme
Wet N' Wild Wild Shine - French White Creme
Love & Beauty - Bubblegum

Just for fun, here's a couple Instagram shots. I'm loving Instagram since it was released on Android.

Plain white nails + trying out a Kleancolor polish with random nail art + word to Spock. :]

Before I log off, thanks to the new followers I've picked up and thanks for stickin with me! I've got posts ready to go so there's more new stuff coming.
