That Super Bass

As many people have, I have joined the Nicki Minaj bandwagon recently. But thats only because I now understand her and her concept of her different personalities and that thats why she makes the different voices and faces and what not.

SO, that being said, I decided to honor Nicki with my Super Bass inspired nails.

Sooo here are my materials used. I know the pics bright, I'm sorry :/ and of COURSE I'll go into detail.


****PRODUCTS USED*****
**DISCLAIMER**
I paid for all of these products with MY OWN money. I am Not sponsored by these companies NOR did I receive them for free.

a paintbrush
a safety pin (be careful NOT to stab yourself please!)

1. Since my nails are long again, I am utilizing my base coat too keep them strong, long and healthy. For this I am using my Salon Sciences Fiberglass Network. Use two coats of this to give your nails the added strength of fiberglass. Be sure to get your free edge too!

2. When my base coat dried, I put down all of my base colors so that they had time to dry. On my thumbs, I put two coats of China Glaze White On White. On my pointer, middle and pinky fingers I put two coats of China Glaze Rich & Famous. On my ring fingers, I used just one coat of Sally Hansen Innocent Nude, on all your fingers except your ring fingers, make sure that you use two THIN coats not two thick coats.


3. Going back to the thumbs, which should have had time to dry by now (make sure they are 10000000% dry before moving on to this step!) I took my paint brush to use for the giraffe print. All that I did was dip the paint brush into the lighter pink, Love My Nails Rose Garden and start making random geometric shapes to resemble giraffe print. My advice, just make like rounded rectangle-ish shapes and then once you do that, add the rest of your shapes to fit around the rest. be sure to randomize it in shapes, placement and size for the best effect :)


4. On the ring fingers, I had to make splatter looking things to represent the part of the video when shes in the pink pool with the green wig splashing the pink water on the guy. I used my Beach Pink Kiss Nail Art to do the pink splatters which represented the water. Then I dipped my paintbrush in the Sinful Colors Irish Green to make the green splatters which represented her green wig. To add some color, I dipped the safety pin into the China Glaze Carnival Lights and just added some random dots of pink glitter to add some shine.


5. After all of this, add two coats of Salon Sciences Instant Artificials for that strong acrylic-like hold.


Make sure that all the free edges of the nails have been coated at least once with each product that you use to protect your design.
