Earrache My EYE!

Technically it IS a song title, but it is also hinting towards the eye.. And that is the basis for my opening of this post. I woke up this morning with an extremely swollen eye. At first, I was like 'sweet lord, pink eye!!' but after closer inspection by myself and my mother, we have decided that I most likely socked myself right in the eye last night. The swelling has gone down some, thankfully! Before, because of the swelling, when I blinked, my eyelashes were hitting my eyeball since the lid was so large it pushed them downwards - good times!!

I finally did something that I am fairly pleased with! Take a look...

Above is with flash, below is without..
I used OPI You Don't Know Jacques! Suede & ORLY Glitz. I did two thin coats of YDKJS, although I could have gotten away with one.. Then I took one of my art sponges and applied Glitz to the top half of my nails. After that I took my nail art brush and added the black stripes. Simple, but effective!!

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

Splatter Floral Nails

Hey everyone! Last night, after I did these nails and when I went to bed - I was quite pleased with my nails. When I woke up this morning, though, I wasn't overly crazy about them. I thought of a few things I could change so that I would really like them.. I am very tempted to take how I want them to look and recreate them before work.. I might just have to do it. Anyways! Really, there is nothing wrong with them.. I just sort of find them.. boring? Ah well! I used: Lime Crime Milky Ways China Glaze White On White OPI My Favourite Ornament China Glaze Highlight Of My Summer China Glaze Sweet Hook OPI Mod About You Formula X For Sephora Infatuated Orly Liquid Vinyl China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat I made the roses with a "main" colour and white, then I did the details with the "main" colour and black mixed together. Again, I don't dislike these bad boys.. I am just not amazed by them! Also.. did you
