Going Green...Nail Fail.

Gussied Up Green that is. This green beauty is amazing..it's got  flecks of gold shimmer through out, it's gorgeous in the sunlight and has become one of my favorite greens. I didn't even know I had this but I was dusting and shaking polishes the other day and stumbled upon this one in my collection. I love when that happens! ;)

It's so pretty. I really like this dark green with my short nails.

China Glaze Gussied Up Green...Two Coats

And then I ruined it..this was a nail fail for sure. Some polishes are meant to be left alone and I think this one is one of them. I added  Worth The Risque by Color Club which is one of the best holo's out there, unfortunately it doesn't mix too well with the green. Meh.

Bundle Monster Plate BM-208 for the design.

Thanks for reading!

Nail Fail: This is what happens when I try to be Cool

Le sigh. I wanted to do something dark with a cool accent nail..not so much ha ha...
I tried to do a lightening bolt but instead it looks like a piece of cheese. Womp, womp womp. Oh well. I instantly painted over the yellow after I got a few pictures of it ha ha. On a positive note I got good application and had no issues with the tape it can sometimes be a pain in the booty.

Orly Goth and China Glaze Happy Go Lucky for the Cheese...er I mean 'Lightening Bolt'. 

I will try again! You will not defeat me.

These are the scissors I used to cut the pattern in the tape. I got them from Michaels and it was a set of 6. I don't remember how much I paid but I believe the individual pairs of these cost 2 bucks. I have lots of these craft scissors and have been meaning to use them for more fun Manicures.

Thank you so much for reading...hope this one made you laugh..I definitely had a chuckle or two. 

Peace, love and not so perfect manis!

Nail Fail...

Hey pretties! Check out this Nail Fail I had recently. I was so bummed because I really wanted this to work. Ha ha. In my mind it was pretty but in real life...well it belongs in the Nail Fail Category.

China Glaze Recycle as the Base. A pretty Grey Creme. This is a great base for Konading...usually.  

China Glaze Harmony for the design using Konad plate M60...ummmmmm.

I love the grey and the Purple but the combination is wrong. I took this one off right away.

I really love this Plate design But I have to find a good combination  for it. What do you lovely ladies think would be a great combo for his design?  Thanks for reading and following if you have!

Oooops! Custom painted Nail Fail


Hey loves! I was feeling a bit creative the other day and decided to do this kind of pirate manicure inspired by the EXTREMELY talented Robin Moses check out her blog here http://robinmosesnailart.blogspot.com/. Well it was worth a try ha ha.


China Glaze Liquid Leather as the base.

I really need to cut down my brushes better. I think I could do a much better job if I had better tools. Maybe..ha ha. 

meh.

My paints and other tools that I used. I don't usually use a pice of paper for the paint but I couldn't find my palette or any tin foil so I had to improvise. I will be doing more custom painted Manicures..I definitely want to try a dinosaur manicure. Stay tuned loves! Thanks for reading!
