"Winter" Nails

Hello!
So after having to struggle to take off Lizard Belly I wasn't sure what to do next. But I did want to do something wintery. A thought popped into my head. Oh what if I did white with blue crackle or should I do blue with white crackle? I couldn't decide which would be prettier so I used my toes as testers and White with Blue crackle won. I know some bloggers dislike crackle. But for those of you who suck at art and/or don't have steady hands... *cough* me *cough cough* crackle is a simple way to do something fun and have it look cool without a lot of skill.



So I took my Sinful colors white and used two coats. I was tempted just to leave them like that, I love white nails I think they are simple and elegant, but I got out my OPI Turquoise shatter and went to town and I think they came out rather nice! Simple but effective! My sister even asked me to do her nails the same way because she liked them so much!



Im not an overly fancy girl and my nails kinda reflect that. Anyways, I might not be around for a bit, I Graduate on Dec.14th and then Im going to PA on vacation and then Im moving out of my house. so I really stressed but as always....

ENJOY!!!

Lizard Belly, Need I Say More?

Hello ladies!

Well as I mentioned in my last post my boyfriend ,Chris, gave me two early Christmas presents, Artemis from the HITS collection and Lizard Belly from Glitter gal. I am in love with Lizard Belly, it is so pretty and when natural light catches it....WOW... its like wearing black fire opals on your fingernails... I took a lot of pics for this one so yea!

I have also been very busy. I graduate in 3 weeks and then Im moving out of my house. So everything's been a bit stressful. Don't be too mad at me. What I will say about Lizard Belly is that the bottle is super tiny... but Glitter Gal is fixing that. The brush also sucked. If your anything like me, you have clumsy fingers and that brush is really hard to control. Its like theres too much brush and not enough handle. BUT the color is SOOOOOOOO worth it!!!







Enjoy!


The last two pics are shot with Natural lighting however even though they were glowing my phone sucks at capturing the radiance!

P.S. You can see my St. Bernard in some of the pics. She's a psycho dog that barks and tries to eat my hand every time I use my camera on my phone....sorry

Thanksgiving Mani!

Hello



I hope everyones Turkey day was a good one! I have been busy lately with my friends who have come home from school! But on to the polish! Once again as my guest model is my best friend Erin! On her nails we did NYC Plumberry Plaza, 2 coats, for a rich plum base then we added OPI gold shatter. I know most of the nail polish community isn't crazy about shatters, but I think every now and then they just are fun to do.




For my nails I did OPI's Warm and Fozzie, 2 coats, but then over that I put Kleancolor Chunky holo Poppy to give it a red/ green duochrome shine! It looked fabulous!



Now my wonderful boyfriend and I were just chilling after all the holiday yumminess and he said he had a surprise for me. I wasnt sure what he meant... but he gave me 2 polishes.... Artemis from the HITS Holo collection aaaannnnddd..... LIZARD BELLY!!! I cant wait to wear it! In fact thats going to be my Next mani!!! I will try to post it later today when I have time to sit down and do my nails. its so pretty, I cant wait!!!!

Enjoy the vacation!

Franken It Up!

A-NA-MAL! In Water Marble!

OK Ladies...

Todays mani I like and I hate... I tried to water marble today. A process that sounds easy, but in reality its like both legs falling asleep and then having to get to the bathroom on time. It sucks. I got the inspiration from a website on Stumbleupon! My best friend suggested this website and I LOVE IT!!!

http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/2KQHAL/heynicenails.com/tagged/tutorial

this the website that gives you all the instructions on how to go about this process. But let me tell you about my process. I first needed a shot glass. Not an uncommon thing HOWEVER. I live with in a 5 mile Radius of a Walmart, Jewel-Osco, Target, Binnys, and Meijer. NO ONE Except for Binnys and Meijer had shot glasses. Binny's however wont sell you a shot glass unless your 21. Which is totally retarded, Im 20 years old... and I couldn't buy a friggin shot glass... Meijer to the rescue! They sell sets of shot glasses and single ones! So then I came home and started to tape my nails up. This is trickier than you might think because if you don't tape them up all at once then you risk the possibility of messing up the nails you've already marbled.

Now the colors I used were: OPI Animal-istic ( a shimmery redish pinkish), Sinfulcolors- Cloud 9 (sparkly orange) and Sinfulcolors-White. If you have no clue as to why I chose these colors its because Animal from the Muppets is mostly pink, orange and some white, on Wednesday the 23rd of November the new Muppets movie is coming out and I'm making all of my friends go see it with me! OH! as a helpful hint... use solid colors... glitter spreads out in water and this makes it very sheer.

Now removal of the tape needs to be when the polish is dry but if your like me and cant wait then semi-dry is the risk you must take. IT TAKES A VERY LONG TIME FOR MARBLED NAILS TO DRY. so don't start them unless you have nothing planned for a while.




As you can see in my left hand I messed up my pointer finger and tried to use a tooth pick to salvage it. I like this mani because it gives you a chance to be creative and even if its not perfect it looks wild and cool! Just remember no one is perfect at anything the first time they do it. Practice makes you better :>



Now for my pictures I apologize. I did a really crappy job of cleaning up around my fingernails so pardon the excess! That and once again I don't have a decent camera so yea. :/ but I hope you found this enlightening! Enjoy your Thanksgiving Holiday I'll try to post when and if I can!
