Day 16: NYX Boho, Princessa Everglade Sparkle, Princessa Green Apple, Sinful Colors Kissy, and Billie Electric Yellow

Hey everyone!

Today I used a wealth of beautiful greens that I received from my birthday group (thanks to Christina, Silver, Ro, and Danielle!!!)

I also used the technique from yesterday that I picked up HERE

Um, love this technique, and I love the colours I used.. Well, the shades! So fun!

I started with a base of NYX Boho, then put blobs of Princessa Everglade Sparkle, Princessa Green Apple, Sinful Colors Kissy, and Billie Electric Yellow and swirled them around with acetone.


Super fun to look at and super easy to do!

I apologize for my hands. They are in rough safe. And you'll notice my thumb. I do that kind of damage to myself. I pick at my hands until I remove chunks. I'm so kind!

See you all again tomorrow!

AND remember to head over to Silver's blog to view her amazing posts!!

so beautiful! and looks great with your nails. sorry about your skin picking habits (I pick them a little too), perhaps try keeping them moisturized so you won't feel the urge to pick them. But that doesn't mean the art is bad! :D I do love how these turned out, you did a great job!

What a super fun effect! Yeah I used to do that to myself too. Took months of concentrated effort not to. Drove my poor hubby crazy.

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

Day 27: The Hungry Asian Cookies (and) Cream

Hey everyone! I decided that for today and tomorrow (my last day - eeek!) that I would choose two polish that mean something to me. Today I am going to be sharing Cookies & Cream made by the awesome Kae aka The Hungry Asian. When I first started blogging, I immediately started following her. She is the reason behind many of my polish purchases.. heh. She started "frakening" polish awhile back.. and I had a HUGE lemming for Cookies & Cream - but, at the time, she wasn't shipping to Canada. Then, when she started to ship to Canada, I would always miss the restock times.. Then I just sort of.. forgot about it. Then, a little while back, while stumbling through all the amazing gems on etsy.. I saw a photo.. I didn't need to see the seller or the name.. I knew. It was ordered almost immediately. And it has sat.. until now. It still makes me heart smile. And now that it is mine? Constant smiling heart! I decided to not use undies on this. It is

Terrazzo Inspired Nails

 Hey everyone! Will speed-race past a whole 'sorry I have been away' write-up and just go straight to the goods. I apologize in advance for my VERY dry cuticles (I cleaned up as much as I could in edit mode.. but, still bad) - I have been applying oil and lotions multiple times per day for.. weeks.. and.. no beneficial results, sadly. I went with terrazzo print inspired nails for this go-round. I started with a base coat, then OPI I Cannoli Wear OPI, then, using the brush for the each nail polish, I went in with: OPI Suzi Shops & Island Hops, OPI Sailing & Nail-ing, OPI Amazon...Amazoff, China Glaze Liquid Leather, China Glaze Sweet Hook, Essie Chinchilly, Color Club Je Ne Sasi Quoi, and Sally Hansen White On - then finally topped with Seche Vite. I am hoping to slowly creep back into regularly posting new content here - so, stay tuned!
