How to file and shape your nails

Cover your eyes, I'm naked. I'm also yellow - yes, I know - and if I had a dollar for every time someone told me my yellow nails are "gross" or "unhealthy" then I'd be one rich bitch. Please watch this video on what it actually means when you're a serial nail polisher and your nails are yellow (assuming you don't actually have related health problems that may cause yellow nails) if that was on the tip of your tongue.

Moving on to the topic of the day, how to file your nails! Watch the video below because if a picture says 1,000 words, then a video says, like, 1,000,000, according to my quick math.

I always use a glass nail file

C(h)ristmas nail art - scaled gradient tree and presents!

Merry (late) C(h)ristmas! How about a bunch of holo gradients? I went for a quadruple scaled gradient on my ring finger this time, for a Christmas tree effect! The other nails reminded me of abstract presents... somehow. Don't question me.

Candy Cane Ice Queen nails

I AM A CANDY CANE ICE QUEEN. And my nails and sleighin' tonight.

This full-finger look was inspired by Glam and Gore's recent new look, I just had to put her face on my nails (and fingers)!

I used simply peel first to protect my skin from all the really uniformed stuff I then proceeded to do on my skin... this is why I'm not a makeup artist.

Star Wars nails uh oh I've joined the dark side

THE NAIL FORCE AWAKENS cause I had to try and pay attention to all the Star Wars marketing going on around me so I could actually be informed and paint my nails accordingly. Yes, I admit, I've never seen a Star Wars movie... ever. Idk why, blame my parents, I was young!! 

In any case, for this week's edition of the weekly nail art challenge (WNAC) I co-host on Instagram along with Kristin of Lacquerstyle and Tracey of MissBellaTracey, the theme is Festive and the prompt is Stars so clearly I interpreted this differently and used it as an excuse to do Star Wars nails for you good people of the Internetverse.

Snowflake nail art then a dog peed on it

Snow on my nails because winter in Ottawa, Canada is coming and I must brace myself! Also this snow appears to have dog pee as a result of the pink-to-yellow colour shifting properties of the unicorn skins glitters. 

For this edition of the weekly nail art challenge (WNAC) I co-host on Instagram along with Kristin of Lacquerstyle and Tracey of MissBellaTracey, the theme is Festive and the prompt is Snowflakes! Wow I actually listened to this one. That's a first.

White shattered glass nails with multi-chrome shifts

White unicorn skins have landed! After doing some black and holographic shattered glass nails, I felt like trying out a more "angelic" look over white! But obviously, because I can never keep anything simple, I added a twist of multi-chrome! FUN Lacquer's Blessing is one of the most powerful colour-shifting multi-chromes out there, going from a beautiful green to teal to blue to purple BAM I LOVE IT!! Almost as much as holo... not quite... but almost.
