Seattle Seahawks 12th Man Nails Tribute

It has only been one week since the Superbowl but Seahawk fans are still partying and celebrating their first ever world title. These nails are done in tribute to hometown Superbowl Champion Seattle Seahawks!! We did them in a starbursts design in Hawk colours. I would like to congratulate the team on their impressive 43-8 shellacking of the Denver Broncos Feb. 2, 2014. I am paying special tribute to the 12th Man who collectively showed the sports world just who they are!! The 12th man carries with them the title of Loudest Fans at a Sporting Event in the World!!

Flawless Makeup Application


I absolutely love it when I find articles on makeup application because for all of my gifts, I have never understood or knew the mechanics of creating a flawless make up application. With the new makeup inventions in recent years it is a wonder that one could not possibly keep up with the ever changing new technology. Makeup and Nail Art are in the forefront of fashion as never before and showing absolutely no  signs of slowing.  Keeping pace with all the different BB, CC, and DD creams can be confusing as well as how to choose and apply all these different medias and what brushes go with what…. etc

Confessions of a Fetish Model




Please head on over to The World of Nails  and check out the new interview with fetish queen The Goddess Hiliana and see her newest photos as well as a very candid close up of her work.

http://theworldofnails.com/confessions-of-a-fetish-model-goddess-hiliana/
Santa brought me bunches and bunches of new nail and makeup related things for Christmas this year and one product I am thrilled to have received and review is the new monomer and powder I got from The Supply Source. I got 1 four oz bottle of each product, monomer and powder, and I must say I really do prefer this product over the product I had been using previously.

When Goddess Hiliana was starting her work in the fetish scene, like most genuine talents, she took the fetish scene by storm. Despite her fast rise as a ‘weapon of choice’ for most niche photographers-and unlike her competitors- she hasn’t been the least bit affected by the popularity.

New Years Nails

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL…..This is the first look everyone gets at my elegant New Year’s nail design and sadly it will be my last post for a while. On January 9th, I will be going for neck surgery and though I am quite worried, I am also relieved as this problem with my neck that has been going on for almost 5 years will be over. However, it will also sideline me for a while and I am not sure when I will feel like doing my nails again much less snapping pictures of them. I will however as part of my new years resolution, make more of an attempt to make everything a photo op this year and post even more photos of my nails. I am also sending out the word that we are looking for guest bloggers that want to find a permanent home here at The World Of Nails, so if you know of anyone who is looking to guest blog,  send em my way:)I will also be looking to guest blog this year to help expand our presence on the net so if you need a guest blogger, email me at theworldofnailz@gmail.com So without further adieu….here they are!

Christmas light nails

Here is post number 2 as promised,Christmas light nails. For those of you who were with us last year we did a crazy holiday theme and went to the King Tut  Exhibit and took photos with some of the most beautiful Egyptian artifacts. So we took our dotting tool and did some light strings with some beautiful colours from ICE nail polish. They didn’t really photograph well and the fact that we don’t have a light box is always part of the problem. Maybe we will build one this year…anyway…please follow the link to the webpage and...http://theworldofnails.com
HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!

Fixing a broken or split nail
Anyone who has broken a nail, had a snag and had to file them all down due to one snag or had one tear on you knows the pain and the disappointment of losing something you took such care and time into growing. However just because it is cracked, broken or chipped doesn’t mean it can’t be saved.
