Mixed Nails

Yeah, I know, REAL ORIGINAL POST NAME! I'm stumped and I don't see my bff til muchos later today. She will probably have a genius name for me to have used. GD it (:

These are very loosely based off of some nails that I pinned awhile back.. For whatever reason, my computer decided to act like an extreme jerk yesterday, and I couldn't even load my web browser.. And when it would load (an hour later) it would crash.. I did some diagnostic work last night while I was out on the town, and it seems to have worked.. Thankfully! Anyways..

Side note: after some slight detective work, I cannot find the original link for THIS image. If anyone happens to know - please let me know so I can give proper credit.

I did mine quite a bit differently.. sort of.. kind of?


I used China Glaze Make Some Noise (thumb, middle, and pinky), China Glaze White on White (base of index) with Orly Liquid Vinyl, Orly Glitz as a base on the ring finger with Aldo Gold Digger glitter on top.

I really like nails like this.. A mixed bag of fun and just.. different.. I know if my residents saw these they would make comments like 'couldn't you decide on one thing to do?' Answer: no, no I could not.. Why just settle on one thing (on your nails)? I mean, really!!

I hope everyone is having a great day - enjoy the long weekend - I know I am planning to!!

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
