Start of FALL designs......

Just a few designs to  start off the "holiday" season. If you know me, then you will know that my holiday season starts with Halloween. I LOVE Halloween. The air is crisp and chilly, the leaves are beautiful colors, and I get to decorate with spooky stuff and glitter. Glitter makes everything better! Plus I get to experiment with slightly more outrageous, bold and funky nail art.... stay tuned for some Halloween fun!!

I'm still here.....

 OK, well it has been a bit since I have last posted. I have had a few issues with learning this interface. I tried setting up an entry to post while I was on vacation and then again a week or so ago, as you can see that didn't happen. My posts are floating around the web somewhere. The pictures I saved to my tablet are lost because my tablet pretty much crashed on me.

 So this is a wrap up of the summer challenge.  : /

This is # 8 In the garden and #9 Thirst Quencher ( including kind of #10 Favorite Fruit). I guess 10 out of 14 isn't all the bad.

Flower petals, lady bugs, butterfly wings, blue flowers and a worm :)

 

Lemonade on a hot day- what can be better? Some lemon slices and ice cubes were in order!

 

I would also like to add that this blog has been running (or at least chugging along) since September 14, 2012.  I am having fun sharing my designs and the information that I have learned over the years. I hope you enjoy stopping by to see what I do. I am going to re-think how I have been posting entries. I have been extremely busy the past few weeks. I enjoyed every day off of work this summer and tried to squeeze out every minute I could. I completed a few upgrades around the house and have been immersing myself in all things Korean. Unfortunately, my little blog had to be put on the back burner, bear with me and please continue to check back : )

Summer Nail Challenge

HELLO!!!.....  Summer is here and so that means some fun and bright nail art designs!!...This is a pretty simple nail challenge- no dates! I like challenges because I don't have to think about what I am going to do... I just read the next idea and run with it!

Let's have some fun!!

Not much going on lately......

Here is a few nail designs I have done. I've been busy with lots of things and kind of put the blog aside. : ( I hope this changes soon and I can get back to at least a bi-weekly post. This is only 2 designs, kind of sad I know. I have done more than that but forgot to snap a pic.

Just some Sally Hansen polishes. (purple and orange)- I got these for a steal $1.49 at Ross'. The next is a pink and green simple design ( Rimmel and Kleancolor) a few dots adds some interest.
Lastly is a bit of a review of Sally Hansen's FUZZY COAT. The color I picked up is # 500 Fuzz-Sea. It is similiar to long glitter without all the , well glitter. It makes my nails look fuzzy. It has a slight rough texture which is kind of cool. I did try it on top of a dark pink and that looked neat. It does look nice on darker colors than lighter ones. It took three coats to cover bare nails.  : )

FUZZY WUZZY..........

Marble Nails....

     So easy, quick and you can not mess it up!! First, get your supplies--a base color, a top color, your fav top coat and plastic. Next cut up your plastic- I used one of my many plastic grocery bags. I cut 5 pieces about 3 inches long and 2 inches wide.. Next- apply your base color. LET IT DRY COMPLETELY !!...This is where I used a 60 second drying coat. Once dry, doing one nail at a time, put on a coat of your top color, in this case-teal.You may want to wait about 15 seconds  and  then put the plastic on top, be careful not to move the plastic too much or you will end up with mushy marks and not the more angular clean areas. Let it be crinkled and crumpled. Remove the plastic in one motion- like removing a band-aid,you can go back and dab at areas that need more top color removed- just be careful not to smear!

      It is a neat effect and it helps covers dings, dents and scratches. I would use this mani if I had a color on that I love and had scratched up- this way I wouldn't have to do a complete mani again! I think the whole thing took me less than 15 minutes start to finish because I already had a base color that was damaged. I also use a fast drying top coat called "out the door"... maybe next time I do this effect I will use two top colors and see what happens!

My supplies!!

I used a neutral color because I wanted the design to show up in pictures. I don't think I'd wear these colors together often.

One nail at a time, add color......

BEFORE going to next nail, apply plastic count to 15 and remove.

TA-DA!... Marble!

 

 

 

Continue on and apply clear top coat to protect and extend your polish!!
