So far ive done, spiders, and bats, and now, its CATS!

first try at watermarbling !

hey guys!
today, i thought i would try water marbling, i always wanted to learn how, but i was always intimidated :( untill i gathered up the courage to do it, and it went really well, i mean i messed up a few times, i just took it off and started again. but im pretty pleased with how it turned out! enjoy!

it was really hard at first, but then i got the hang of it, and it became more and more easy after that, but its seriously time consuming! i was inspired by thats so fresh's nails, they arent watermarbled, but they are kinda similar, click *here* to see it :) if your curious on how i did this there are a bunch of diffrent watermarbling tutorials on youtube go check them out.

base colours:first i painted all my nails with one coat of OPI's alpine snow which is white. OPI's big apple red, sally hansens extreme wear in mandarin, china glaze in happy go lucky, sallyhansens extreme wear in green with envy, OPI's no room for the blues, china glazes grape pop, and sally hansens extreme wear in power pink.

stamp: bundle monster plate number bm07

colour: konads special polish in white.

hope you all enjoy!

polish and love!

from the vault: hello kitty!

hey guys!

this summer i was ordering my bundle monster plates, and i was talking to a good friend of mine whom ive known since child hood. either recently when my friends mother got re married, or even before that ( i forget how long ago it was exactly) she went to her native country bolivia, and brought back my friend two fauxnad plates! and she used it on me, but this was way before i was into, or even knew about konad or fauxnad. when i was talking to her about the plates i ordered, and that i wanted the hello kitty plate really really bad, she told me she had it! and i wigged out! so she let me borrow it for a few months :) untill i get my own, which is going to be VERY soon :) mwahahaha! anyways, enough with the story, and more with the pictures eh?! with out further adieu HELLO KITTY! 

base: caboodles - just cause

stamp: konad m75, fauxnad A02

stamp colour: konads special polish in black. 

i just love this design! :) i think its really really cute! :) and really girly, which i can admit, im not all the time.

polish and love!

yellow and pink make orange?

lastnight, glee was on, and i was getting tired of my 50's manicure, i get bored of my manicures quickly, especialy if im getting tip wear and chips they ususaly last three days tops. i was digging through my stash, and i seen happy go lucky by china glaze and i knew that was the colour! yellow is also another colour i dont find my self reaching for very often,  i dont know why but i feel it isnt flattering on my skin, so i have to stamp over it with a full nail design if im going to use yellow at all.

base colour: china glaze's happy go lucky.

stamp: bundle monster bm20

colour: konads special polish in pink.

it gives this weird effect of orange, i quite enjoy it. and i hope you do too! :)

polish and love!

very fifties!

i hope everyone had a wonderful thanks giving weekend. i know i did, theres nothing like good food and family! thats what im thankful for! :) anyways, enough of me babling on! i realized i hadnt worn red in a long time, and its one of my favourite colours, epsecialy when it comes in opi's big apple red! i just adore this colour! and i also realized i hadnt used the polka dots from konad on my self yet! and i was very disapointed in my self, and as soon as i started, i immidately thought of like a pinup girl, which reminded me that three halloweens ago, i was a pinup girl! enjoy!

colour: OPI's big apple red

stamp: konad m79

colour: special polish in white.



i really really liked that costume that year! :) but that was way before i even knew what konad was, or that it even existed! ha ha!

to all you out there that arent celebrating thanksgiving this weekend i hope you had a lovely weekend.

polish and love!

GLEE

so yesterday i was looking at my nails in class and thinking.. "this mani is sooo boring! " i wanted to do something super fun! so i was talking to my friend, and she had mentioned that teen mom was on tonight, a show which i dont really like but thats not the point. then it came to me! GLEE was on tonight! and its kind of a ritual between my friend and i to watch it together every tuesday. i really like the new advertising for the new season, where they have the kids throwing slushies at the camera, and they are these bright colours, and the back arounds are all bright too. so i pulled inspiration from the slushies and the bright coloured backrounds!

step one. i put down my base coat, then did one coat of OPI's alpine snow just to give the colours that extra oomph!

step two. i did two coats over the white with all the diffrent colours!

index: OPI 's no room for the blues

middle: sally hansen extreme wear in power pink

ring: china glaze's happy go lucky

pinky: sally hansen extreme wear in green with envy

thumb: OPI's big apple red.

step three. i used the diffrent colours to make what i thought looked like slushie splashes. i just put one drop of polish, and then used a tooth pick to drag out the colours and make the dots.

index: china glaze's grape pop.

because i distinctly remember them throwing grape slushies!

step four. then i did the glee letters in black with konad plate m17. i was gonna do them in white like they do on this seasons promotion but i couldnt see it very well over the yellow so i made a sacrifice. and because they sing, i used white with plate m73 on my thumb! how cute right?!

step five. i just finished off with the konad special top coat.

this weeks episode was really deep and kind of sad, but my bright coloured nails got me through! who says a good manicure cant change your mood?! pish posh! its hard not to be happy looking at my nails!

polish and love.
