Las vegas turned stormy....

Well I got around to adding that bolt! It looks pretty awesome! See a tutorial here from Jane over at Nailside. She has some cool looking ones too, I love the wonder woman one!

I was going to do all blue, but then changed my mind at the last minute.

first taping

Everything at once?

I did a mani that was inspired by Amanda over at MaD Manis. She did a wonderful combo with hers and I was going to do the same thing, but didn't want to be too much of a copy cat, lol. So I did my own thang with it, just switched everything up. I call this 'Everything at once' because it combines, scotch tape with stamping with glitter, with stripes....you get the point.

I started off with Finger Paints Where art renoir? , then used Rimmel Grey Matter. I then stamped the grey side with a chain link look from BM plate 202. To cover up the mismatched middle line I used NYC Big Apple Red Creme.

Silly me forgot to say what I stamped it with, Sally Hansen White On.

Meow!

As per a request from a friend, Kristen, I did a leopard themed manicure. I used a neutral base from Wet n Wild, a light pink beige color. I stamped it with Bundle Monster plate 221, using Wet n Wild Black Creme, that I scored at Walgreen's for 69 cents! Then I taped off the tips and painted them black...I wore it like that until I thought of coloring in the print with my Yellow Paint pen I found at Big Lots.

I like this, I am still wearing it, its been two days! Will probably have it on for at least another day too!

What do you think?

I'm still getting used to my new camera, so if the pictures aren't very good, I'm sorry....
I also need to make me one of those light boxes!

Go Van Gogh!

Well today I bring you a half and half Manicure. I tried to do some stamping on the purple side with the green, BUT the stamp I chose looked stupid, and I just removed it quickly, that's also why they might not look the shiniest or a bit smudged. Sorry. I used Finger Paints Go van Gogh! as a base then taped off half my nail with scotch tape and used Ulta Tutu Cute. It was just OK, not a wow....they are both kind of muted colors. The Finger paints was a bit thick going on...and the Ulta went on very nicely!

sorry about that hair on the thumb, eww!

Crazy....

Well I started off wanting to do Chloe's Nails design called Scotch Tape Rays.....but when I went to do the cutting of the tape I got really frustrated with it...couldn't get it thin and straight, so I went with just a diagonal line. I started off using a base of Sally Hansen White On, and then China Glaze Red Stallion, then Seche Vite. The next morning I then did the tape thing with Misa Dying Love. It looked very harsh and muted....so I added dome dots of China Glaze Tantalize Me. I am not really liking it in the picture, that is why there is only one, and the Seche Vite shrank my polish after I cleaned it up.....so it looks messy in the picture :( I only wore it for a day.

Do you like it? Is the design OK, maybe with different colors? Three of one color, different shades perhaps....
