LA Kings - holo

OK, so I haven't done a post every week like I said I would. I'm sorry.
But I finally got my hands on some linear hologram polishes!! ...I regret not getting the silver though. oh well. They don't look like much in the bottle but boy do they shine on the nails!

With the purple holo I did LA Kings nails!! this was before they won the Cup! [I actually think these caused a bit of a jinx, cuz they didn't win a game while I had these on my nails. :S and yes I had picked them to win, see my post about that on my other blog here and if you are hockey fan this is my feeling after they won]
Without further ado my Kings nails!! I should note that if the Kings had of won while I was sporting [see what I did there haha] these I would have drawn on a little Stanley Cup, but alas it didn't happen.

I used Wet n Wild Buffy the Violet Slayer under Layla 04 Ultra Violet. I used Joe Fresh Tin for the crown, the black is just a nail art black and the tips/glitters on the crown is a franken I made. [I think it was a Wet n Wild silver sparkle, I forget the name, that had a holo effect and I added bigger holo glitters.]

And in direct sun!! 

I realize they aren't perfect but I was happy with hope they turned out. I hope you like them too!

Habs Nail Art

Not only am I known for my nail art, but I am also known as a hockey fan, so it didn't take long for me to merge the two. My favourite team is the Montreal Canadiens, aka the Habs. I've done a few different Habs nails since I started doing nail art, but here are my latest ones.

I met up with some other Habs fans at a few tweetups recently and I 'sported' these nails to the first one. 

They were super simple to do. I just painted my nails white then sponged on red and navy. I kind of cheated on the Habs logo, I put clear polish on a plastic bag, let is dry. Then I used a black gel pen to draw the logo, let it dry then added clear over top. As you can see it crackled a bit. After I let it dry for half an hour or so I carefully peeled it off the bag and since I had a lot of clear polish, I cut around the logo. I put a small spot of clear polish on my nail and added top coat. Simple as that!

This is the other look I wore for another tweetup. For the "HABS" I just a nail art pen and carefully got all the letters on the nail. Here's a tip, I started in the middle of the word, so the B and A to make sure all the letters would fit.

My right hand. I used the same nail art pen and put the number 51 for my favourite player!

These ones didn't last long. I had decided that I was gig to paint my nails for the Stanley Cup playoffs, I fully intended to paint all the teams in the playoffs. However, I don't have all the right colours, brushes, etc to do them. Plus as I found out here, with the Nashville Predators, it's hard to draw some of the logos! but this Stanley Cup turned out pretty cute, so I am glad I took a a picture of it. I also may have spelt PREDS, PEDS :S so that just wasn't going to last! haha

Depending on who makes it to the finals I might re visit the idea of painting NHL nails, before the summer.
