Connect The Dots

I decided to scour through my Nail Art Inspiration folder, and found this fun and simple look! I thought it would be perfect after a bunch of Halloween nail art (:


I used: CG Lemon Fizz, Essie Mint Candy Apple, CG White Out, OPI A Shorts Story, Finger Paints Leonardo Da Vin-Pink & Essie Mesmorize.

Simple and fun! I even clipped down my nails again - just a smidge. I am really enjoying shorter nails.. For now!!

I hope everyone has had a great start to November!!

  • Freshie - He is very adorable! I am glad that they do seem to get along as they are both alone all the time! I let them be together for a few minutes every few days - seems to keep them happy!!
  • Zara - Thankies! I agree!!
  • JQ - I figure I might as well be honest.. Not everything I do is photo-worthy, but I figure I can show that I do some terri-bad stuff as well - I am human!! I am going to have to keep my eyes wide open at Winner's from now on!! I would have probably passed it completely!!
  • Lily - Thank you, you're sweet!
  • shortwidenails - Haha, well, thank you! I suppose they weren't the worst things I have ever done! Pumpkin carving is so mean to thee ol' nails! I think we had a grand total of 25 kids, but I handed out about 30 bags of candy, I started to toss extras to kids (when I say 'bags', I mean I make mini baggies - this year they included: a candy necklace, a ring pop, a mini chocolate bar, Hot Tamales and a mini movie time treat) - they seemed happy! I think I have watched 'Hocus Pocus' twice this year. I am going to have to add it to my random old movies to purchase off of Amazon list!!

  • shortwidenails - Haha - yes! I have been tagging them for awhile now. I notice it is sometimes hard to see, and other times it is really in your face.. Probably why you haven't noticed! I don't even know why I do it.. I guess so that I won't have to worry about anyone taking my photos and posting them as their own - especially of my pets!! I was like 'you have beautiful nails! ugggh!' - My nail damage is much better. The trap door is gone!! I am sorry to hear about your chip though - that is always terrible!! Especially on square nails ):

  • Zara - Thaaaank you! I try.. This year I went with smaller details.. And I didn't screw up (too often..) - I was really pleased with them!!
  • April - Thank you and thank you! I also love Halloween as well.. I have only added to decoration ideas I want for next year, it is like a sickness for me!

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

Dry Marble Technique

Hey everyone! Yes.. Dry marble technique.. well.. technically I am water marbling, but allowing the polish to "dry" on the water.. then using it as a nail decal. Does that sound confusing? It might. But. I think this will be my next video. It is actually a lot of fun to do. And while I think this first attempt is grand, it could be better. I used: China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat Sally Hansen Bubblegum Pink Sally Hansen  Babe Blue Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow Water Dotting Tool Bowl Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat I will probably film a video for this within the next week - so I will post up that gem soon. Or, there are probably a wealth online for you to look up in the mean time. Super fun technique without all the hassle of legit water marbling. See you all again soon!

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
