Found this Kia Commercial done on Artificial Nails! Really cool concept.

These pink, orange and green ‘Jewel Blossoms’ artificial nails were created by me awhile ago.
I used the ‘Sugar Cookie Pink” O.P.I. nail polish, a sparkly orange Canmake nail polish, and a sparkly green Maquillage (by Shiseido) nail polish. I painted all the artificial nails pink for 1 to 2 layers first. Then I painted half of the nail in green or orange. Then I repeated the same step to a quarter or 1/4 of the nail. Then I began to use a clear top coat by Rimmel (but any top coat will do) to stick the rhinestones and nail stickers onto the nails. When you are done, add another top coat over the entire nail to keep it long lasting.
You do not have to follow my design, just follow your heart and personalize it. I did not plan for this design at first when I was adding the rhinestones but then I felt something was missing, so I tried to add a little bit more of bling here and there (but not over the top so as to overcrowd it). Creating your own design is part of the fun. Don’t worry about messing it up; as long as you are having fun and enjoying the process, the result will definitely be good.
I bought these green artificial nails with some white flowers and silver sparkles awhile back:
It was a little plain, so I added some rhinestones and pearls to it:
It probably took me about half an hour to an hour to do all of my artificial nails (10 of them). These would work great for attending a wedding or a party.
If you were to buy these in a store, it may cost more (more time and work = more production costs) but you can save money and add your own style to it when you buy the more simple ones. All in all, it’s a fun and easy project to do at home!
Hello everyone! Hope you all are having a lovely holiday!
I’ve been experimenting with nail art the past few years (basically self-learned), and thought it would be nice to share it with you in the beginning of a new year!
These are the purple French manicure I did in 2006. I like doing them on artificial nails since they last longer and are easier to manoeuvre around.
I was quite happy with the result for the pink pearl lacy design since it took awhile to put the pearls and rhinestone on.
I did this “Peace” design on shorter artificial nails to make it more casual and wearable.
They might look like “show pieces” to some, but they work for many different occasions (i.e. weddings, parties). It would be fun to make some designs which are more bright and daring in the future.
Stay tuned for the next post! =)
