31 Day Challenge: Day 22 Inspired by a song

I would have probably had some more trouble doing this one.. But then about a week and a half ago, my brother told me that Troy from Community (played by the excellent Donald Glover) had a rap album about to be released and that is has been doing it for awhile, etc..

Of course I had to scope some of the songs. There are 2 that I absolutely love.. And the rest are also pretty great. He is nerdish (seriously, some of the lyrics are just.. nerdishly awesome!) and explicit and just excellent.

Anyways. I decided to use the song 'Heartbeat' as my song choice because it fits this heart monitor mani I have seen before that I really wanted to do on myself.. Did and done!



I used Orly Liquid Vinyl and Essie Silken Cord. I decided to skip the lines on my thumb as I tried to see how I could align my thumb with the rest of my fingers for photos and yeah, wasn't happening.. So sad little hearts is what you get via the thumb!

I have been trying to take some photos without the thumb involved.. But it feels weird to me. I think I will always have to be a thumb-in-photo-includer. Yah.


This is my inspiration song.. Again, I am warning you, it does contain some explicit lyrics.. But really, are there any better type of lyrics? (I mean, explicit lyrics are great as I feel that sentence does not make any sense..)

AND I love his whole album and now I am slowly collecting some of his "older" tunes as well. Love. Him.

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
