Nails And Food - Artistic Photography



Here are just a few pictures showing sweet looking nails along with delicious food. When photographing food, the shoot may require a specific look for nail designs. Let's take a look....
Delicious tacos with pico de gallo, served with a side of chips and guacamole shown with complementing ombre citrus nails.

What can be better than a yummy burger with a side of fries, a pickle spear, and ketchup red nails edged with a  silver rose motif?

Veggie burger complete with lettuce, tomato, mayo, and sky blue ring finger nails dominated by glittery sweet  sibling nails.

Pizza night is accented here with a great grape nail lacquer, smiled with rhinestones.

Chalkboard Manicure





In other nail news, my best friend just told me about the chalkboard manicure. I thought, "Are we really that bored?" Yes. We are. While nail techs and beauty advisors all over the world scurry and rack their brains trying to come up with the next big trend, elementary schoolers have it all figured out - chalk.

Introducing THE CHALKBOARD MANICURE!


This set contains:
- Mattnificent Matte Top Coat
- Chalkboard Paint Pot
- 4 x Chalk Pens in Teachers Pet (blue), Satchel (white), Jump Rope (pink), Recess (yellow)



So basically, you prime each nail with the matte, black chalkboard paint and then use the playfully themed chalk pens to tag each nail with whatever childhood memories you still have left after the recent mega-doses of Xanax. Right now, Sephora has the CIATE brand Chalkboard Manicure for $25. It seems a bit steep in price, but whatever. Let's chalk this one up to YOLO.

April 2013 - Nail Fails!



Ratchet nails from thumb to pinky! And the nerve of this chick! She is stealing the DoubleTree  bath products as well! #NAILFAIL  #HotelBandit
Look at this freak show! This teal chipped chaotic mess looks like an insane asylum patient clawing at the floral wallpaper, rocking and blowing spit bubbles. And she's double jointed too! #NAILFAIL
I see the vision, but it just didn't come out too clear! This indifferent glitter index finger contrast amid the teal sibling nails isn't a bad choice, but cleaning up the smudges with acetone would have made this look much more clean and sleek. Sorry, but this is certainly a
sloppy #NAILFAIL! 
This silver glitter french manicure wouldn't have been bad without  that sad little pinky, looking at the other nails like Cinderella on the night of the ball. A visit to the nearest nail salon can turn this #NAILFAIL right around!

The Grand Supreme of #NAILFAIL
CUT YOUR DAMN NAILS, LADY!
