Laid Back 31 DC - Day 7 - Ombre or Skittles

Hello everyone!

Confession: before I painted these nails.. I had bare nails for TWO DAYS.. in a row. I don't even remember making a full day with bare nails in the last.. well, couple of years. I honestly had zero ideas. Once my sister got wind of me not knowing what to do with my nails, she said 'do those roses on one nail, and cheetah print on another..' and then I thought 'hey, skittles are the next thing on the challenge list.. I can totally skittle with those ideas.' Because. To me, the whole "skittles" nails means they are all different, but related. She suggested hot pink polish. Done.





Products Used:
Nail Life Gripper (base coat)
China Glaze Sugar High
OPI Kiss Me On My Tulips
Daisy Nail Lacquer Sachet Pink
Ninja Polish Girly Floam
Rainbow Honey Pinkie Promise
China Glaze Liquid Leather
Brucci Lime Green
Brucci Roberta's Green Garden
Orly White Out
Gold Studs
Dotting Tool
Little Brush
Poshe Top Coat


Wow. Typing out the list of products used was a beeeast. Stick with me here, and I will go through what was used on each finger, and, if I bought them via a specific website, I'll link it up.

Thumb: China Glaze Sugar High & gold studs.. and some super glue and Poshe top coat.

Index: China Glaze Sugar High, Daisy Nail Lacquer Sachet Pink (from my amazing pal Silver!!), China Glaze Liquid Leather & dotting tools.

Middle: China Glaze Sugar High & 3-5 coats of Ninja Polish Girly Floam

Ring: China Glaze Sugar High, Orly White Out, Daisy Nail Lacquer Sachet Pink, OPI Kiss Me On My Tulips, Brucci Lime Green (no label..), Brucci Roberta's Green Garden, & dotting tools.

Pinkie: China Glaze Sugar High & 2 coats of Rainbow Honey Pinkie Promise.

These seem like they would be highly labour intensive, but I think I spent maybe 40 minutes max on them. And. I absolutely love it. They all work together, but are still completely different. Did I ever mention that I adore my sister??

Take care until next time!!

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!

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
