Abby-Day!! (Abby Friday)

Hey Guys!!

I think Fridays are gonna be my favorite day to blog because I get to my paint favorite 2 year old ever's nails!!  ABBY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Who's this Abby chick?)
It was a little hard for Abby to sit still long enough for me to paint a design on them, but every time I asked her if she wanted me to stop she'd say "No tanks Kywie, no tanks"!  SO CUTE!!!!
I'm quite pleased with how it turned out considering the fact that this was done on a 2 year old.
Ahh yes...  She insisted on doing my nails too.
I can tell that she pays attention when I do her nails by the way she does mine!  (Her concentration face shown above).
The finished product!...  We'll work on technique as she get older...

Welp that's all for now.  Abby was really happy with the result, for me that's all that matters!

Until next time, stay SparKylie!
(Yes I did get permission for Abby's mommy to do her nails once a week... Not that it should be of anyone's concern...)

Prom doticure!!! (Doticure Wednesday)

Hey Guys!

It's that time again... PROM SEASON! I love prom- all the pretty dresses, hair, makeup, and of course- NAILS!!! 
Dots are perfect for prom because you can have them in any color you want to best match your dress and it's also really easy to do on yourself if you don't want to spend a lot of money.
Yes! That is my right hand (Cinderella hand)!! This only means one thing. If I could do it on both hands, girls who have never done their own nails can do this with no trouble at all!
I hope you all enjoyed this design, and if your going to prom this year have fun and let me know if you tried it!

Until next time, stay SparKylie!

Saran Wrap Tutorial! (Tutorial Wednesday)

Hey Guys!

This post is is just going to be a simple, quick, beginner tutorial.  I'm planning on doing more challenging ones in the future, but the next few tutorials are going to be more simple and great for beginners!
That's right!  Saran wrap, probably the easiest mani's you could ever do on yourself so why not start with this?!
This is a fairly basic design so you don't have to think too much on how to do it.  I show each step, startiing fromt he top left.
As you can see I added a couple more colors just to make it more bright and fun!

I hope you guys like this tutorial and design!  I'll be doing tutorials more often so keep checking!

Until next time, stay SparKylie!

Project 7 Mani! (Charity Tuesday)

Hey Guys!
 
Today's mani is inspired by Project 7.

Project 7 is such a cool charity, it stands apart from all the rest because it doesn't just help one area of need- it helps 7!

Heal
Save
House
Feed
Quench
Teach
Hope

The best part is that donating isn't just a monthly pledge of a certain amount of money, but in stead by just buying something you already get on a weekly basis (such as gum, mints, bottle water...)!  WHATTTT????  I know right! I've only been able to find their gum so far, but man is it good!!  With buying just one tube of gum I had instantly planted a fruit tree!  How cool is that?!

Anyway... On to the nails!



Practice makes perfect, I want to do a whole new Project 7 mani in the future, so keep cheaking in!

Colors used:
Revlon- 571 "Posh"
CraftSmart- "Black"
CraftSmart- "White"
 
 
I really hope you check out Project 7 and try some of their "Products for good"!
 
Until next time, stay SparKylie!

Paramore Nail Art! (Music Monday)

Hey Guys!

I want to start off by apologizing for lack of posts.  My laptop charger died along with my computer, I'm currently using my iPod to write this (autocorrect please be kind to me!!)

For my first Music Monday mani I went with one of my favorite bands!!!  PARAMORE! Gahh I love them!  They just released their new self titled album this month and it's sooo amazing as always!! 
I was inspired to this a few months ago (some of you have seen) and it didn't turn out as well as I had planed so I decided to try it again!
I was having trouble with my lightbox so I went all over the house with my camera. :P

I hope you guys like this as much as I do! Check back tomorrow for Charity Tusday!

Until next time, stay SparKylie!

Update!

Just a quick update as far as what's to come! It's been on my mind a lot lately about how to keep a set schedule and how to stay inspired. I started brainstorming and the best thing I could come up with was starting weekly themes:

Music Monday
Charity Tusday
Tutorial Wednesday
Doticure Thursday
Abby Fridays (more info here)
Last but not least Freestyle Weekends.

I think I want to do the Dotcure Thursday as an actual challenge where people can participate and see others work (I'm thinking inlinkz). I'll let you all know once I know for sure how I want to do it so keep an eye out for that!

Until next week, stay SparKylie!

Feed My Starving Children Mani!!

Hey Guys!!

I'm so excited to share with you this mani and cause!!  Feed My Starving Children is an amazing non-profit organization who's goal is "Feeding God’s Starving Children Hungry in Body and Spirit" by sending meal packs called MannaPacks (soy, rice, vegetables, and the vitamin and mineral vegetarian chicken flavoring mix.).  92% of the total donations goes directly to the food program; only 8% goes to fundraising, administration, and overhead combined. That's amazing!!! 

I recently had the opportunity to help volunteer by packing the MannaPacks with my church group.  It was so much fun and I can't wait to do it again soon!

                       This is a bit blurry but this is about as good as the pictures get! >_<
On to the nails!
