31DC2014 - Day 5 - Blue

Hello everyone!

Day 5 of the #31DC2014 orders blue polish to be used.. All right! Green is my favourite irl colour, and I do love me some green polish (all the green!) but blue has to be my favourite polish colour, I find that no matter the shade, it compliments my skin tone. But. What to do on my nails?

Why, blueberries, of course.

I found THIS image, but could not find a source, any know who did these gems? Anyways, using that photo as my guide, I got to work.


I started off with a base of Barry M Blueberry (how fitting) on each nail.


I then drew some half-blueberries on the tips of my nails.. they actually remind me of blue tomatoes, but I want you to be thinking blueberries! Anyways. I used China Glaze I Sea The Point to do that. Then I added some highlight with FxFS White Matter.

I then added the little stem.. actually.. this is probably why I am thinking tomato.. I started with OPI Amazon...Amazoff and did some highlighting with Essie Mojito Madness.


When I was all done with the berries.. I knew my nails were not done.. right! I always feel like dots add the finished touch. These nails were no different. I used China Glaze New Birth for the dots. Now they felt complete.

That is all for today -- see you again tomorrow!!

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
