Nail N00b

Follow my fumbling tries to learn about manicures as I geek out in this, for me, entirely new realm.

Today I'm using @nerdnailsplates Nailed It plate Floral layers for a spring pastel #mani with #sunflowers and #cherryblossoms ' ' #manicure #nerdnailsplates #nailstamping #pastels #stampingnailart #nailpolishaddict #nailart #layered #layerstamping #layerstamp #layerstamps #sunflower #cherrytree #cherryblossom #spring #pink #green #yellow #notd #instanails

This was actually quite fast, except I did something different on my other hand (that I didn't like very much) that took longer :P. Plate: @uberchicbeauty 13-01. #nailart #nailstamping #reversestamping #manicure #mani #notd #instanails #stampingnailart #nails

This was tricky because the lines had to be perfect - which I only partly managed 😂. Used a lot of different plates for this one - any with straight lines and chevrons will do 😊. #nail #nailstagram #nails #nailart #notd #mani #manicure #nailstamping #nailstagram #nailaddict #nailsaddict #pink #chevron #lines #black #white #contrast

My nails had had a real beating this last few days, so it felt like time to redo them even though it is the middle of the week 😇. This is a mani I like to recreate from time to time - and this time the dinosaur is from a plate I cut myself - maybe a future @nerdnailsplates too? 🤓. The white twirl is from a @moyou_london festive plate. #mani #manicure #nailstamping #reversestamping #nerdnailsplates #nerdnails #nailart #nails #nail #nailstagram #notd #dino #dinosaur #trex #nailsaddict #nailaddict

Had to redo my nails this week because apparently I had forgotten to add a base coat 😱. The polish just started to come off... this was a quick mani using @uberchicbeauty 13-02. #mani #nailstamping #manicure #nails #instanails #nailart #negativestamping #notd #smudge

This took surprisingly little time to do - today's quick mani :). Plate: @uberchicbeauty 9-02. #mani #manicure #nailstamping #instanails #reversestamping #nailart #nails #flower #pink #gradient

Today's manicure - something a little more like spring in this cold weather :). Plate: @uberchicbeauty 7-01. #mani #manicure #notd #nails #nailstamping #gradient #instanails #nailgradient #flowers #nailart

New Years manicure, now I'm ready for tomorrow ;). No stamping this time, just plain old tape. #mani #manicure #nyemanicure #nyemani #glitter #instanails #notd #nails #nailart #grey #pink #essie #newyear #2017

In the upcoming 7 days I have a lot of #zumba going on - #strongbyzumba instructor education this weekend and my own Zumba event next Friday. Had to make the nails match :D. I used one of my own designed plates that I will most likely start selling on Etsy this spring. Check @nerdnailsplates for updates! #manicure #mani #nails #notd #zumbafitness #nailstamping #animalprint #pink #yellow #reversestamping #nerdnails #idontsweatiglow #keepcalm

Trying out yet another @nerdnailsplates - plates I design and laser cut myself (and aim to sell on Etsy starting spring 2017). #wicked #manicure #nerdnails #nailstamping #instanails #musical #nailart #nails #notd #tosstoss #witch #wickedwitch #glinda #elphaba #galinda #mani

Game of Thrones manicure using a plate I designed myself and laser cut. Will likely be sold on Etsy from next year. #got #gameofthrones #manicure #mani #nails #nailart #notd #instanails #reversestamping #nailstamping #nerdnails #arya #jonsnow #winteriscoming

Seen #strangerthings on #netflix? If you haven't, you really should. It's awesome :D. Also, I designed and laser cut the plate I used for the #manicure myself. Will very likely be for sale on etsy next year ;). #nerdnails #stamping #nailstampingplates #nailstamping #nails #nailart #reversestamping #upsidedown #demogorgon #eleven #eggo #notd #instanails #mani

A couple of days ago I laser cut some nail stamping plates that I made myself. This manicure was made using one of those plates :D. There is still some work on the plate to get the best proportions of the images, but I have to say that it's quite cool anyway ;). #mani #manicure #nailart #nails #notd #nailstamping #reversestamping #instanails #supermario #nintendo #yoshi #pow #ghost #bowser #chomp #shell #plumber #snes
