Fun Rainbow Nails Instead of Tape Mani Nails

Fair compromise, right?

Hey everyone!

Today I am supposed to post up my tape mani part of the challenge.. Well.. I just went to edit photos.. and.. they are beyond photo editing. It is seriously awful. I don't remember them being so terrible at the time of taking photos, but just trust me, bad!

BUT! I based the mani I am currently sporting off of a photo on pinterest, and they are much more exciting. I figure I will share those with you all instead, and it will make up for the mess that would have been my tape mani. Fair trade!



Products Used:
China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat
China Glaze White On White
Essie Lollipop
OPI A Roll In The Hague
China Glaze Golden Opportunity
Essie Mojito Madness
OPI No Room For The Blues
OPI Ogre The Top Blue
Dotting Tool
Little Brush
Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat


I got this amazingly rad idea HERE - I particularly like the small and uniformity of her dots.. actually, I just like the whole thing, hence why I had to recreate it.

I obviously started with a white base on all of my nails, then, when I did a freehand stripe of colour, I'd go around to all of my nails and add dots in that colour - I really put my polish blobs to work!

They almost remind me of a clown.. and that terrifies me and delights me all at the same time. I never said I was very sane.

Well, that is all for today. Sorry it isn't a tape mani (officially my second nemesis in the nail art world!) - see you all next time!!

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
