The Reader Challenge + A Quick Look

Reader Challenge.. I can hear a you all asking ‘what is the reader challenge?’.. Well, I am not so sure it is a challenge, but more so for some reader input!

The Challenge is for my lovely readers out there (yes, you!). Have you ever come across a nail art image that you are too scared to try/just don’t know how to go about doing it? WELL! I will try it out for you. I can post up tutorial pictures of how I went about doing it so that you can either just see it done (to the best of my ability) or learn some easy routes to trying it out yourself.

I don’t believe in difficult methods. I think things should be simple yet effective. In my perfect world (aka my mind) I feel being ‘challenged’ at least once a week would be great, but I’ll settle for every once in awhile. I will leave this challenge up on the side bar so that it will always be a constant reminder.

There are a couple of ways to go about this. First, you either have to send me a photo of your idea or just explain it and I will draw it out and double check to make sure it is what you were thinking of. Second, sending your idea and or picture to me – it can be done via e-mail (delaynee88@hotmail.com) or just leave it as a comment and I will get to it.

I am not sure what the response will be on this, but I was working on my nails last night while gaming and figured I would issue this ‘challenge’ and see if anyone would take me up on it.

I don’t care how difficult it is.. I will post the photos up even when I fail – I am trying to have no shame!!

I think it could be a lot of fun.. So please, any crazy/fun/silly/pretty/ugly nail art designs you have come across.. Challenge meeee!! I have a lot of images myself, but I’d like to see what others can come up for me to try.

Thankies for your time!

Now for some quick looks.. My mom had asked me if I would paint her nails for her.. So of course I did! It is like a sickness.. I will people to ask me to do their nails! She said I could do whatever with whatever colours.. But the last time she said that and I tried to use red, well, it didn't happen. Using CG II, Orly Glam Rock, Black SilkLine and my trusty bobby pin..

She is really happy with them and so am I. It allowed me to practice 'cheetah print'. Then, since painting her nails again reminded me of the red nail polish debacle, I decided to use red on myself. I used Essie Lollipop, OPI Alpine Snow, Black SilkLine and my trusty bobby pin..

The bows are not too impressive.. Anyways.. There was my quick (massive) update!

Enjoy the rest of your magnificent Monday!!

Canada Day - Saran Wrap Style

I had said the other day that I would be using the Saran Wrap method again soon.. And I really did mean soon. I figure it was the perfect way to celebrate Canada Day (nail-wise) without over-doing it.. I mean, I'm fairly patriotic as a rule, but sometimes sporting a Maple Leaf on my fingers isn't exactly my style.. ANYways.. See? The love is there with the red and white.. I know I said the next time I did the saran wrap method, I was going to try with three colours.. But, I think I will maybe leave that experiment for tomorrow - today is only about these two colours! So.. How I get to this? Well, allow me to show you. Start off with the colours of your choice - one as the base, and one as your.. distress-er? And some saran/cling wrap. I take two pieces and ball them up.. You could use more or less.. But I figure two hands, two, er, balls. Yikes. After your base has COMPLETELY DRIED (you can do these a couple of hours in advance, the night before, or even use some

Revlon Giveaway

GIVEAWAY CLOSED! WINNERS TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON!! Yaaaay! I am really excited to do this for all of you! I really appreciate all of you following me and commenting on my posts - it is amazing! So, I figured it was time to give back a bit. Now, this isn't a monster giveaway that I want to do - that will come sometime later. I have it all planned in my mind - BUT - until then, you'll have to put up with this! I picked up 3 polishes from the new Revlon collection the other day and really wanted to grab extras to giveaway, but the store was sold out of one of the colours after I bought it, and so, that thought was quickly squashed. Then, this evening, I ran in to another shop quickly - and they had a whole wealth of them - bingo! Giveaway time! The colours are: Starry Pink, Blue Mosaic & Facets of Fuchsia Supposedly FoF is a DL Bad Romance dupe. Sadly, I do not own that polish (I really, really wish I did) - but this polish is stunning - in fact, they all are! Thi
