This is a new and temperamental science. But who wants to replace their 300+ polish collection with the expensive gel counterparts? I sure don't.

My boyfriend didn't like it. I used 3 coat of Visually Slimming by SPOILED, and can tell it's not the blackest of blacks. It almost looked like the darkest grey in the bottle, but I thought I'd give it a try. I got it from CVS a while back and it was so runny and watery, I thought after a year of sitting in my drawer it'd thicken up, but to no avail- three watery coats to full opacity. They look like press on nails. I tried to spice it up by stamping on gold ivy from BM plate 309. It will do until I repainting this Sunday. Hopefully I'll be more inspired to do Halloween nails next week.</div></div>imobsessedwithnailshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17142149082109873406noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9154355614784406142.post-60969928748095032582013-10-15T23:59:00.001-07:002013-10-15T23:59:16.800-07:00Paradise Blue Cheetah and Gilty Gold Zebra<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7p4yye58g6fMHqa_S49zuHh2BUA8eAIaVtps6eTAwTy1_hQrk_W6Ep6coL6ObeGllI3sMxmhHytxkOA8DFeHjyrlTUp2IzhKc6ieq5VOxlKt8OPMbNrxh4rQGzlwNHhLBfVp11ND77Yi-/s640/blogger-image-220387597.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7p4yye58g6fMHqa_S49zuHh2BUA8eAIaVtps6eTAwTy1_hQrk_W6Ep6coL6ObeGllI3sMxmhHytxkOA8DFeHjyrlTUp2IzhKc6ieq5VOxlKt8OPMbNrxh4rQGzlwNHhLBfVp11ND77Yi-/s640/blogger-image-220387597.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3JJPq_A0n3Lt5p07cFby9lAwpHpm0AmHQbwnlNhNYw7kIy5vEY1vPT54HRHEDHXLxbkzQ7dpa5see5Uv8KHFF6QwmUzHt7JhiCxR-aiS6P0selKo7CPAE4Zr3Ti2yHD7pCM1G-MMxt1HH/s640/blogger-image-1523375957.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3JJPq_A0n3Lt5p07cFby9lAwpHpm0AmHQbwnlNhNYw7kIy5vEY1vPT54HRHEDHXLxbkzQ7dpa5see5Uv8KHFF6QwmUzHt7JhiCxR-aiS6P0selKo7CPAE4Zr3Ti2yHD7pCM1G-MMxt1HH/s640/blogger-image-1523375957.jpg"></a></div><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7p4yye58g6fMHqa_S49zuHh2BUA8eAIaVtps6eTAwTy1_hQrk_W6Ep6coL6ObeGllI3sMxmhHytxkOA8DFeHjyrlTUp2IzhKc6ieq5VOxlKt8OPMbNrxh4rQGzlwNHhLBfVp11ND77Yi-/s640/blogger-image-220387597.jpg"> I'm attempting to paint my nails as often as possible during my break from piano. I raided my roommate Ashley's np stash and found two new favorites: "Paradise" by Sinful Colors and "Gilty Pleadure" by Sally Hansen Complete Manicure. Paradise is a bright creamy sky blue which I can only imagine is even more beautiful in the daytime. I sit here admiring it in artificial light and can't wait for the sun to come up. I'll have to update you all with a daytime pic soon. It was two coats to full opacity. The first thin coat was streaky and I almost started to doubt my decision on picking a Sinful Colors polish out of her stash instead of a higher quality. But I was thankfully reassured by a thicker 2nd coat which brought the color to a dreamlike consistency. Gilty Pleasure is a champagne gold I used to make a couple streaks in my last post. I love it and it's so perfect on any skin color. Again it's two coats to opaque but with a light color like this, three should be perfect. I don't like to do three coats because, frankly, ain't no one got time fo that. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I was a little disappointed in myself for not thinking outside the box and reverting to animal print. I promise my next post won't be something I've done a thousand times over.

Almond Acrylics in Fall ColorsHello, my darlings! I am back and super excited to be blogging again. After nail school I went through a tremulous move back to Oakland and wasn't able to blog for a while. So here's my first set back: an almond shaped acrylic set with three base colors: OPI Don't Pretzel My Buttons, Essie School of Hard Rocks and OPI Over the Taupe. I added a 1mm rhinestone to the DPMB and SHR and on the OTT I did 3 slashes of Sally Hansen Complete Manicure in Gilty Pleasure and a black art polish. I'm going to try really hard to blog more often- I've missed all of you and thank you so much for visiting during my hiatus!!

OMG you guys, I've been such a bad blogger!!!! Ironically, it's because I've been super busy with school- I've been taking the manicuring course at Paris Beauty College in Concord, CA and I haven't been able to finish my fall challenge or blog at all! Here are a couple of pictures of the acrylic full sets I've been doing at school the last few weeks. I don't know if I'll have a chance to blog again before school is over but I'm trying to continue to snap pictures if I can! </div>

This set is my hand model Chrissy's hands. She gets almond shaped nails because she's a vet tech and she wears gloves and has to pick up kitties by their necks and such. She loves 3D nail art of course and got tiny white bows on a few of her nails and clusters of multi colored half pearls on the rest. </div>

These are DUCK FEET nails. My first set of duck feet actually on someone else. In the beginning of school, I did a full set of duck feet on myself, but these were much better. Also, the girl that got these nails was going to homecoming that weekend so it made it super fun for me to do. I used forms instead of glue on nail tips to get this flared out look.</div>

I painted on two coats of Mink Muffs and then used a makeup sponge to dab MMOTSF on the tips and working toward the nail bed. Even though it is a purple brown shimmer, it came out looking a little gold and I'm pleased with the end result. <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQmWnOFnMZyeMSXMO0qlR1pZQG-c0D-8C-BJ27ZVDnrOvtqujUhDYvEI4Cf22Yl22BHO8R43r509-IqH0kzN0WbfBb6TE8FBnfcYf_J92wyXtrbvjJHL_62kPAIU0f5kn2VVZLxQDG-LjU/s640/blogger-image-525982085.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQmWnOFnMZyeMSXMO0qlR1pZQG-c0D-8C-BJ27ZVDnrOvtqujUhDYvEI4Cf22Yl22BHO8R43r509-IqH0kzN0WbfBb6TE8FBnfcYf_J92wyXtrbvjJHL_62kPAIU0f5kn2VVZLxQDG-LjU/s640/blogger-image-525982085.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRlPYb6SjK0YtCDConZ5F-1da4zEdQal0mQJN_nK5asOvAYmc_C-tBAyBTadsleFEzDOdSTKBJ2PwWpbsnqe7YAPgUFzn-5Ppj9Guqz997aXXc17SJcwtLtXDBnqPBaMcvr-wUVwjA6znl/s640/blogger-image-1335410221.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRlPYb6SjK0YtCDConZ5F-1da4zEdQal0mQJN_nK5asOvAYmc_C-tBAyBTadsleFEzDOdSTKBJ2PwWpbsnqe7YAPgUFzn-5Ppj9Guqz997aXXc17SJcwtLtXDBnqPBaMcvr-wUVwjA6znl/s640/blogger-image-1335410221.jpg" /></a></div>imobsessedwithnailshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17142149082109873406noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9154355614784406142.post-14140047634897925702012-09-07T14:44:00.001-07:002012-09-07T16:45:30.392-07:00Fall Nail Art Challenge: Day 2 Autumn LeavesThis one was so tough! I thought I had a stamp that had maple leaves, but I guess I just have the almond shaped ones from BM-19. I tried to make the leaves stamp change colors but I guess I'm not that advanced at stamping yet. I painted on OPIs Bling Dynasty (über pretty gold) and then in a bottle cap mixed neon orange and Bling Dynasty/green and Bling Dynasty) to make the gold turn colors a bit but stay the same kinda shimmery metallic. I lightly with a dry brush tapped random spots on the nail with my orange and green mixtures to give it an antiquey, messy feel.<br />
<br />

I used The One That Got Away from OPI's Katy Perry Mini Set. It's a really bright purply red pink metallic with micro shimmer. I really like it but it was kinda streaky to apply. Was opaque in just three coats and dried fairly fast. This is my first published stamping attempt. I got a 2 stamping sets as a birthday present to myself. One being the first Bundle Monster set and the other was the 2012 BM Collection. I used the paisley design from BM-315 to do this design in a silver polish. I wanted to do black, but I didn't know if it would show up as bright on top of this red. The One That Got Away looked MUCH darker in the bottle and this was the first time I've swatched it; that's why I thought it'd be good for this 7-day Fall Nail Art Challenge. But hey, it's fall enough for me. Especially since it still feels like summer outside.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGw92THUkz20jZBkWcyGcXGnKudsgM8siuIMsk_uAyrTJcbt70bQY3otX37ouAHCAWO3fZ6vlUc-bEKiqJB8CbecsNVQiuTNCEvlf9HLGO8TCvTxC7Ni_wtGklcUFO4SQleB27uVS1DhBV/s1600/blogger-image--1035395648.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGw92THUkz20jZBkWcyGcXGnKudsgM8siuIMsk_uAyrTJcbt70bQY3otX37ouAHCAWO3fZ6vlUc-bEKiqJB8CbecsNVQiuTNCEvlf9HLGO8TCvTxC7Ni_wtGklcUFO4SQleB27uVS1DhBV/s640/blogger-image--1035395648.jpg" /></a>See?

I love this super dark green. It inspired me to do a sweet green camo accent nail that I matted out with ELFs Matte Finisher.<br />
<br />
First, I painted all but my rings with 2 coats of Zoya Envy. Then 2 coats on the ring fingers of Essie Mink Muffs. I sloppily did squiggly horizontal lines of a mix of Mink Muffs and a green franken I conjured up a while back. A few squiggly lines of a dark green which has no name (from some kind of art kit), and a few squiggles of Envy to tie it all together. I did a coat of super shiny Seche Vite to smooth out the creases then topped with one coat of the Matte Finisher. Can you see me?<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicnRcCD9Jx13oCChWX_MYEn0dI0TQ6shG7QdXu1QonvnnHhEAIREhJeqty2GRr5Uxe664ETdOXwrGmaP8WX7MABkkJiXU73-8WnoPLITVeyP_QirtvKpFNuG4l6AH3Xc5ISY2D_-IdaAvf/s640/blogger-image--363898048.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicnRcCD9Jx13oCChWX_MYEn0dI0TQ6shG7QdXu1QonvnnHhEAIREhJeqty2GRr5Uxe664ETdOXwrGmaP8WX7MABkkJiXU73-8WnoPLITVeyP_QirtvKpFNuG4l6AH3Xc5ISY2D_-IdaAvf/s640/blogger-image--363898048.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh88-fFISb-xCh6niqkcNQZTah3rqgECnCQRnK2CBj91ukt-S4wTgMxVxtVNa1OsrNILnW1-U_pKd2Lt6H_ZCxWvVK0zLbQws4nrwg4kYpM5BWY2McwUGD2FerAHls7jyeXuvq0tulvZzzc/s640/blogger-image--548379064.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh88-fFISb-xCh6niqkcNQZTah3rqgECnCQRnK2CBj91ukt-S4wTgMxVxtVNa1OsrNILnW1-U_pKd2Lt6H_ZCxWvVK0zLbQws4nrwg4kYpM5BWY2McwUGD2FerAHls7jyeXuvq0tulvZzzc/s640/blogger-image--548379064.jpg" /></a></div>imobsessedwithnailshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17142149082109873406noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9154355614784406142.post-38874384071522662792012-07-29T22:50:00.001-07:002012-07-29T23:28:53.569-07:00TWO YEAR BLOGIVERSARY plus Barbie BowsWhelp, it's my 2 year blogiversary and I've been so busy working and saving up for beauty school that I dont have anything interesting to post. I did, however jazz up my boring everyday pink and whites by adding Sally Hansen HD polish in LCD to the pink parts for a lil sparkle and blue shimmer. I painted on tiny lil now shapes in Zoya's Barbie and added a lil half pearl in matching pink to the center. All topped with INM's Out The Door topcoat (I'm out of Seche Vite).<br />
<br />
Furthermore for my blogiversary, I would like to thank my hand models and very good friends (in alphabetical order so there's not confusion about hierarchy): Audrey and Chrissy. You are my muses. Without you my blog is a shameless, boring, self centered catalog of animal prints and boring funky French's. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for inspiring me and pushing me to try so many new things I dare not try on myself. Thank you for all the love and support and natural nails to play with. May there be many more nail designs to come. <br />
<br />
Last but of course not least, thank you to all my followers and fellow bloggers! Your creativity and support had first inspired me to start my blog two years ago and keep going strong until now.

A light creamy pink with blue undertones, this polish is a dream. The consistency came out streaky but smoothed put by the second coat, and perfectly opaque by the third. My only qualm with Zoya is that sometimes I feel the dry time is too long for me. But it is sped up with a coat of Seche Vite . <br />
I bought this polish strictly on its name alone and was happy that it is as Barbie as I wanted it to be!

The cap had the logo on it and the sticker on the bottom was there. But I'm confused how this unmarked bottle made it to the store. I tried it out and waited a minute to test if the inside was legit and it passed my test. I know it wasn't a mismatched base coat bc their base cost is not dry fast. It was glossy and dried fairly fast so I bought it. The girl was really confused while ringing me up too. <br />

Here are the swatches from the Kat Von D True Romance Poetica eyeshadow palette. Sorry, my arm is gross and has freckles! From left to right: "Forgiveness" a super shimmery white with gold sparkles in it. I couldn't see the gold at all in the pan until I swatched it and I was very surprised at how much gold is actually in it! "Sand Timer" is a light shimmery sand/greige, that almost doesn't show up on my skin. "Chandler" is a super reflective rust, which I think is my absolute favorite in this palette. "Tijuana" is a black with purple and rust colored micro glitter. "Wonderland" is a glittery dark purple with light purple micro glitter. "Shiba" is a greyish purple with the same light purple shimmer as "Wonderland". "Babe" is a super bright purple with an iridescent blueish sheen to it. This is my second favorite, because I love bright colors, but don't have any with a sneaky iridescent finish to it. And last but not least "You Alone" is the most matte of the bunch, a creamy off white, leaning on the beige side, having only the slightest bit of shimmer to it. Almost not even qualifying as a shimmery eyeshadow. It's an in-betweener. I think "You Alone" would be the perfect color in this palette to use as a base color from lashline to brow. </div>

As for what I think: Not going to go into detail reviewing each shadow, but I'll just tell you what I think of the palette as a whole. First of all, I love the packaging. The outside panels are a cool matte metal with an embossed design and has a great weight to it. The inside has a huge mirror the size of the whole case and the eyeshadows are a large and generous pan size. It has a little well for the Kat Von D "Autograph Pencil" which is a super black eyeliner pencil, included in the set. The quality of the pencil is very smooth, creamy, and blacker-than-black. I have nothing bad to say about the eyeliner really, however haven't tried it out so can't report on its staying power or smudging. Some shadows are "better" than others and I can say that they are all really pigmented, they blend easily, they are interesting and fun colors, but the one bad thing is there is quite a bit a dusty fall out on most of the shadows. And I believe I'm losing quite a bit of product each time I dip a brush into a shadow. I give it a 4 out of 5. There's a range of colors to make multiple different looks and they're pretty good quality blendable shadows. Other than it does create a fair amount of fallout, maybe that's why they give you pretty large pans of each color! :)</div>

I accidentally grabbed my sparkly pink glitter vomit mix instead of my regular clear pink I use on my nail bed. There's all kinds of glitter in there: pink metallic tinsel, pink and purple dust glitter, iridescent hexagons and stars. Basically the kitchen sink. I placed the white cut out acrylic tips sort of lower on my nail bed than I usually would so it has room to grow out for a couple weeks. I used Krazy Glue to adhere my tips on and it was so bad! It took forever to dry! I only put my acrylics back on because I had found a fresh bottle of Krazy Glue in my craft box and I have been out of glue for over 2 months now! Well, that's all folks, and prolly for a little while unless I feel inspired to dress up these nails enough to post!<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTH10chGnWcF8c0nuGeVYDQxERuQbDXW6t4B0OUWNDlYpURxMKQo2c8NXjL-pBe-WzSGEZlfY4vPExPHDucnZfbPo8NQHxnDdz9BEckOWGNOb3K9TSV8CeY9dyWH6RYLAx9IKowYUaZHHA/s640/blogger-image-1882682018.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTH10chGnWcF8c0nuGeVYDQxERuQbDXW6t4B0OUWNDlYpURxMKQo2c8NXjL-pBe-WzSGEZlfY4vPExPHDucnZfbPo8NQHxnDdz9BEckOWGNOb3K9TSV8CeY9dyWH6RYLAx9IKowYUaZHHA/s640/blogger-image-1882682018.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAddgZ5SeBVdudSEAw4mrOl9Z7wQ8MWlYeZOiTuvDUZjLT3ealgoCNl6Rf72ZBSPVG4Z5gcmhjeSOUykH6-49BXIo1Be0xxRTyr7ENINDF-6Sg00jVEzedbn_GlR5zKa8GU6A2OpOpBShc/s640/blogger-image--1464508023.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAddgZ5SeBVdudSEAw4mrOl9Z7wQ8MWlYeZOiTuvDUZjLT3ealgoCNl6Rf72ZBSPVG4Z5gcmhjeSOUykH6-49BXIo1Be0xxRTyr7ENINDF-6Sg00jVEzedbn_GlR5zKa8GU6A2OpOpBShc/s640/blogger-image--1464508023.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPLgzQx_amY0Kg54FKn1I_0OSKM7UtovjGt0Pee6DJJl-jPMlOEZL9vzQ9UOAdaoBdl7syZ810toPZ4hPg-xaPlfkqMsiBI0hR1n4Ehc0sCIVfSwvlBpGP3QtamGMlGFXiRbQ-EtUY5nu8/s640/blogger-image--106860079.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPLgzQx_amY0Kg54FKn1I_0OSKM7UtovjGt0Pee6DJJl-jPMlOEZL9vzQ9UOAdaoBdl7syZ810toPZ4hPg-xaPlfkqMsiBI0hR1n4Ehc0sCIVfSwvlBpGP3QtamGMlGFXiRbQ-EtUY5nu8/s640/blogger-image--106860079.jpg" /></a></div>imobsessedwithnailshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17142149082109873406noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9154355614784406142.post-85041869741971969422012-02-12T18:27:00.001-08:002012-02-12T18:28:54.705-08:00Last Vday Mani (#5) Heart Stamping and ArgyleThis last mani for Vday has a little but of everything.

The first is the NYC crooked "O" LOVE sculpture painted in Dream Poppy by Sally Hansen, on top of a base coat of Raise Awareness by Essie. The other is basically the same dotting tool heart pattern on a French. I can't write much because I'm on my phone so I'll edit and update later with the colors and more instructions. Sorry, readers <33333<br />

It's a super sparkly animal print funky French that had tiny pops of pink (it looks purple but it's pink) inside the cheetah print. I used metallic pink hexagon glitter to and outlined it in black to make a cheetah print. Underneath this is a white French tip, covered in Metallica by Wet n Wild, with an unnamed silver glitter on top of the silver part. Then I added a black zebra. It's fun, sparkly and is definitely a contender for actual Valentines day nails.<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhseja8vgYcEwhuZw2Xv6eKwI9sQE0d_woqp6DsF7582Gof4gmr-wuX7JXgfqpSODSIZVJO39W_W1_V64JBu0XymGbVEAVSUWBjsKrOFmlYapjueH3yZV77qvK1uexty-TH2A_JwrYSmo73/s640/blogger-image-2038540739.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhseja8vgYcEwhuZw2Xv6eKwI9sQE0d_woqp6DsF7582Gof4gmr-wuX7JXgfqpSODSIZVJO39W_W1_V64JBu0XymGbVEAVSUWBjsKrOFmlYapjueH3yZV77qvK1uexty-TH2A_JwrYSmo73/s640/blogger-image-2038540739.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT_G3P0zS5IwPV928plkkWf074OFZeyhv4Oe9INYrFDQLDNZi5Evmd1MeRajmGGdXHe5sU6Izb3_hd4AMcZvoTRhzgLc5cPiK-NEheC_pRmW-TNmSrsy3ZIOubpaTcVJJPhaOeAYKiI3K5/s640/blogger-image-1571489850.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT_G3P0zS5IwPV928plkkWf074OFZeyhv4Oe9INYrFDQLDNZi5Evmd1MeRajmGGdXHe5sU6Izb3_hd4AMcZvoTRhzgLc5cPiK-NEheC_pRmW-TNmSrsy3ZIOubpaTcVJJPhaOeAYKiI3K5/s640/blogger-image-1571489850.jpg" /></a></div>imobsessedwithnailshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17142149082109873406noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9154355614784406142.post-19732324087163202682012-02-01T01:21:00.001-08:002012-02-01T01:21:26.479-08:00Valentine&apos;s Day Mani #1!!Ahhhh.... Valentines Day... One of my favorite holidays because I love pink and hearts! Hopefully, I'll get flowers for that vase I got for Christmas (wink, Kevin!! ;) so here is my first mani for Vday! I painte on 2 coats of Blazed by Wet N Wild, and a coat of LCD by Sally Hansen HD. I then used a dotting tool to make white dots that touch in the shape of a heart on my ring finger. I filled this in with red striper polish, and used clear coat and a dotting tool to cover the red part of the heart in 1mm red hexagons. I used a black polish to paint on the "T+K" carefully and added black heart cut out decals to match! The T+K stands for Tina plus Kevin! Tina plus Kevin Forever! ;)<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJad1_KxmrhuVkOacDl8dEklguqS-fvcRN9ldj3-WuR9wTbImUaz4aNXq3Rox9Vv_Y_xZ_r_zbYaguaG0Z08d__vqqeBbaWQY9ikoS9fMdoZwsT__P51zNGUsLf6un87gT_RkrbPDwUTKA/s640/blogger-image--1157341388.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJad1_KxmrhuVkOacDl8dEklguqS-fvcRN9ldj3-WuR9wTbImUaz4aNXq3Rox9Vv_Y_xZ_r_zbYaguaG0Z08d__vqqeBbaWQY9ikoS9fMdoZwsT__P51zNGUsLf6un87gT_RkrbPDwUTKA/s640/blogger-image--1157341388.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj21yXwcO3hlMgf1tKXR4vTcv-6TEmjJbZV6qDvgVMFTnFu_CM-rcr-S1b10YABYbfXuMQqYCuOT74-OzOtM6Esc6yDCdCs2Omkl4f3VJBRmCZQMRV_N0MtV8uBCxfx4lJacIS3-mH5DHYG/s640/blogger-image-1707949200.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj21yXwcO3hlMgf1tKXR4vTcv-6TEmjJbZV6qDvgVMFTnFu_CM-rcr-S1b10YABYbfXuMQqYCuOT74-OzOtM6Esc6yDCdCs2Omkl4f3VJBRmCZQMRV_N0MtV8uBCxfx4lJacIS3-mH5DHYG/s640/blogger-image-1707949200.jpg" /></a></div>imobsessedwithnailshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17142149082109873406noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9154355614784406142.post-75738532356906531602012-01-30T22:41:00.001-08:002012-01-30T22:43:38.946-08:00Striped Nail Art Inspired by New Striped ApronI've had this brightly colored pink, black, and green fabric for a long time now and always thought about using it for an apron but never got around to it. I've been wanting a new full sizes apron as my other one is white and horribly stained. So I whipped this cute pink and black one up today and did a quick (albeit, sloppy!!) nail art to commemorate! <br />
<br />
I used a hot pink Baby Cakes by Jessie's Girl, light pink Raise Awareness by Essie, lime green Green WIth Envy by Sally Hansen, and strippers in green, pink and black. I just followed the pattern on the fabric to make vertical stripes as carefully as possible and topped with lots of topcoat to smooth out the seams. :)<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpkKThDvRdakuaDGflZguaNhBUg0jEa9b3I6MdHp1KFYZa_YAioBI4CV61BJXaRnhIN6PE9m-mz90bjvP8VMkQ1XCTGANLZtdzhHGrD2orcdK_uPTLZkPJ0QEJ8Fb4K6o04bIeBNwLodyM/s640/blogger-image--275969041.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpkKThDvRdakuaDGflZguaNhBUg0jEa9b3I6MdHp1KFYZa_YAioBI4CV61BJXaRnhIN6PE9m-mz90bjvP8VMkQ1XCTGANLZtdzhHGrD2orcdK_uPTLZkPJ0QEJ8Fb4K6o04bIeBNwLodyM/s640/blogger-image--275969041.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhACayFX-ldvLvMdB-ygoTukEsVUowKSQxSXVGsU-CeikULWMn48fT3D194u_nWf4sE9VRyUn50Nldj4HTHO8LddP7mD2jv_aP3Nv4ChiKWCKimV6W8hur4f3EVNa5IzVzy5JVmX127NaMh/s640/blogger-image-2098697704.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhACayFX-ldvLvMdB-ygoTukEsVUowKSQxSXVGsU-CeikULWMn48fT3D194u_nWf4sE9VRyUn50Nldj4HTHO8LddP7mD2jv_aP3Nv4ChiKWCKimV6W8hur4f3EVNa5IzVzy5JVmX127NaMh/s640/blogger-image-2098697704.jpg" /></a></div>imobsessedwithnailshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17142149082109873406noreply@blogger.com1
