NAILSSS DID: HKTIP$.

first off, let me put it out there that this is not an A.SADE original. one of my clients maricel hit me up. well actually no wait, i take that back. HER MAN big meezie hit me up! whenever i'll post some steezy nail art of mines on facebook, this nigga always comments on how he wants me to do his woman's nails one day lol.



anyways. maricel rocks acrylics, so yall know the deal. get 'em plain & ill do my thaaaang. all she wanted was a hello kitty design on one nail for each hand. ive been eye'n this concept for a while & since she already had glitter tips, i thought this was the perfect opportunity to try it.

NAILSSS DID: Diamond Zoidal.

oh, how i love the power of social networking. a few months back, i tweeted misslawn a picture of lala's minnie nails cuz i know shes a huuuuge fan. & yall already know how twitter works - its basically a global chat room. everyone sees EVERYTHING! luckily for me, diamond zoidal saw misslawns retweet & hitted me up fayussSsst! it just so happens, that the homie DZ travels to THE BAY from LA quite often to record. so, we linked up & got to business. now, i actually say i got my first "celebrity client." thats definitely some steezy ass shit to brag about!

WEDDING GIGG.

yall remember maureen? well, she asked if i could do her hair & a few of her girlfriends for a wedding held at the SF MARRIOT. which worked perfect, bcuz i was already in the area. they were not only attending the event as guests, but they were also performing! one cool thing that i haven’t shared is.. ive actually met maureen as a choreographer for a cotillion, that i was apart of during high school. in her college years, she was a member of this dance crew called 69 degrees. long story short, they sorta made a comeback just for this special night!

NAILSSS DID: Marilyn Monroe.

created another dope set for my regular, jhoana! yall already know im not an trained "nail tech." so, homegirl was smart enough to get her fills did, before we got down to business. as far as inspiration for themes, we literally brained stormed from bay love to the voluptuous miss marilyn monroe. lets be honest, i was lightweight hesitant about this. painting cartoons on nails are no challenge to me, but ive never tried face portraits.? i really didnt know how it would come out, so after stressin’ for a min, the light bulb floated above my head & i thought about andy warhol. then, yes! it all came together & now im about to share the whole process :]

that Fancy Shmancy shit.

im sure most of you who have been following my blog for quite some time, noticed that i really like to sketch my ideas first before putting in any type of work. whether its nail art, clothes, & yes even hair.. one of my nail clients jackee was a featured make-up artist for a harajuku themed fashion show & asked if i could do something with her hair. she didnt specifically have any ideas in mind considering that she has an a-line bob, SO this was my opportunity to get creative. i love when people let me do whatever - its my only chance to truly show my ASADE skills!



due to the lack of length in the back, i knew that i could only work with the top & side areas of her hair - within a few mins of brainstorming, i came up with this design. something a lil pin-up inspired.



..& since im already on the hair topic, heres another one! this is maureen. she was attending a wedding & wanted her hair did. so, she contacted me asap with details of how she wanted it done. this style is actually a lil inspired by katherine heigl's movie, life as we know it. real simple, a big & loose french braided crown with a "messy" curl bun.

NAILSSS DID: Hellz Bellz.

yeeee.. hellz bellz fuck the rest! i dont ride for any other streetwear brand except nothing but the best <.3 there's so many dope graphics from this company, that i couldnt just stick to 5 designs to mirror each hand. it was waaaay too hard, i even tweeted lanie to help me out & she couldnt!! lol. so, this is actually my first time rockin' 10 different designs for each nail. apologies for no process photos but im actually in the works of trying to get a nail turtorial video made JUST for this theme. let's hope i can get that posted sooner than later for you guys!
