One of the holiday-esque manis I promised from a few weeks ago. This one is really subtle, but sparkly, which I think works since this time of year is so darn sparkly with all the lights, and decorated trees.<br /><br />Please excuse how dry my skin is, I've been having a hard time protecting my hands lately.<br /><br />Polishes Used:<br /><br />China Glaze: "Hey Sailor!"<br />Julie G.: "My Private Palace"</div>

Did this lovely set on a wonderful lady last week. She wanted sparkling red tips for her cruise. We used her own polishes, I didn't make a note of the name of each, but a true red polish was used as a base for the chevron tip, then they were coated with a chunky glitter in matching red. We topped it off with a nice black stripe to make the red really pop.<br /><br />Hopefully her manicure is still sparkling bright.<br /><br /></div>

Originally I had planned a blood moon mani for this last week of October. Although, every attempt it fought me, so next year perhaps.<br /><br />So instead I bring you a blingy planchette (you know the little pointing device for Ouija boards).<br /><br />I hope you all have a safe, happy and positively frightening Halloween!<br /><br />See you next week with some Christmas themes.<br /><br />Colours used:<br /><br />"Howl You Doin'" China Glaze<br />"Black Out" Sally Hansen</div>

Another Halloween one! Pink and blue skies filled with bats!<br /><br />Honesty I think bats are adorable with their little turned up noses, but I get how some people find them frightening.<br /><br />I started the bats using some bundle monster plates but the polish I used refused to transfer well so I ended up just painting them over.<br /><br />Colours:<br /><br />"First Mate" by China Glaze<br />"Va Va Voom" by Orly</div>

This year we're starting off with something hopefully everyone recognizes; Candy Corn!<br /><br />I originally thought this was going to be quick and easy but it turned into something much more painstaking. I'm quite out of practise, so it took a lot longer and my lines aren't nearly as nice as they could be.<br />When I first picked up this colour it looked like the perfect orange creme, although once I got it out of the bottle onto my nails I learned how much of a neon it really was. It is a really bright shade, I was not prepared for how bright it is. I found it also went on a bit streaky (as neons tend to), even after three coats, that was a little frustrating. But, it is a very pretty shade of orange.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also my nail on my middle finger broke really close to the nail bed, which is why it's much shorter than the rest. It also broke in a really strange way, the under layer (can I call it that?) of the free edge is what broke but it's attached to the skin firmly so removing it would be unwise. The top layer is fine though. I guess I just have to let it grow out.<br />Anyway, I have a few manicures planned for this month, stay tuned for more Halloween-y goodness.<br /><br />Colours:<br /><br />"Lady and the Vamp" China Glaze (Halloween 2015 Collection)</div>

It's been quite a while, over a year since I last posted.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a Valentine's themed design for you guys, it's fairly simple.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xJnhkERYYA4/VM-8MrgVWJI/AAAAAAAAAFo/SM3H-1nXyEk/s1600/IMG_0701.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xJnhkERYYA4/VM-8MrgVWJI/AAAAAAAAAFo/SM3H-1nXyEk/s1600/IMG_0701.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I apologize for my absense, I was going through a lot of stuff after I lost my job back in 2013, and I hadn't even been painting my nails, until just recently, but now I'm trying to get back into updating this blog at least once a week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So for this design I used needle-dragging for the mostly pink nails, only one of which turned out to look like hearts (apparently I'm very rusty), and a simple pink watermarble for my ring and thumb nails as an accent.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Colours used:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Punk Pink 165" by Sally Hansen</div>
"Cotton Candy" by Julie G.<br />
"Blanc" by Essie (the first and only Essie polish I own)<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

These were a lot of work, but well worth it. They are not close visually to the reference I used but I love them regardless. Howlite, or as some may know it "White turquoise" is a really beautiful stone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I'm sure some of you have seen those super awesome stone inspired manicures rolling around right? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been meaning to try my hand at one for a while, but didn't quite know where to start, so I did some practise to gain the right techniques, and here's a final result.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started with a basic base colour (OPI Skull and Glossbones to be exact) and did some water spotting, which I then went over with acetone and a few other colours to recreate that marbled effect stone has.</div>
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UcEX5kkN3rc/UgfUIeZEa8I/AAAAAAAAAFU/Gevc75eH8-Q/s1600/IMG_0645.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="181" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UcEX5kkN3rc/UgfUIeZEa8I/AAAAAAAAAFU/Gevc75eH8-Q/s320/IMG_0645.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Right Hand</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Normally I use acrylic paints to make my artwork, but they weren't creating the effect I needed, so this time I used purely nail polishes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm very partial to the way my right hand middle fingernail came out, it's probably my favourite out of the 10 nails.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Colours Used:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Skull and Glossbones" OPI</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"My Private Jet" OPI</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"French White Creme" Wet n' Wild</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Saturday Night Fever" Sally Hansen</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Blue-ming" Color Club</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Cotton Candy" Sation</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wish you all a Happy Monday!</div>

When I looked at the photo on the website this looked black to me, but it's actually a dark, deep teal shade. Which is awesome, I like this one quite a lot, I currently have it on my toes, and probably will for the next 2-3 weeks depending on its wear.</div>

This is 2 thick coats, it didn't streak at all, and is very opaque. Overall, I think these holographic polishes are really nice, although I'm at a loss with what I can do with them nail art wise.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I now just need to find a good gold holographic and black holographic polish.</div>

As of late, my life has been getting increasingly hectic, much to my dismay. It seems as though every single weekend this summer has been consumed by stupid parties (those who know me personally know I'm no social butterfly, and crowds/people in general stress me out to no end). So as a result I have not had much time to think of designs, or even carry them out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Luckily though, these turned out fast and simple enough to do. The roses are handpainted with red acrylic paint. The base colour I used was "Smoke and Ashes" by China Glaze, the shimmer in it does not show up because it's been mattified via China Glaze "Matte Magic".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you all have a lovely week. Also to the Canadians who follow me, the CNE is opening this coming Friday!</div>

Here's another of Born Pretty Store's Holographics.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's #11:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">With Flash.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
#11 is a dark purple, it looks more blue in this photo for some reason. It's like the colour of grapes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">In direct sunlight.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This had the best coverage so far, I think the deeper/darker shades are the most opaque. It also dried to a really nice gloss finish. This is with 2 coats. #11 went on nicely, it's a great shade of purple, but I don't think it looks so great on my nails.</div>

This shade applied well, with no streaking. This is 2 coats, it could use a third since its a bit sheer on some nails, but I'm sure 2 thick coats would sort that out too.</div>

The base used for these was Julie G's "Gelato in Venice" a really nice mint green. I sponged some darker green before putting in the roses.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The roses are also that one-stroke type of painting technique. It actually turned out well this time.</div>

This is with 2 coats, it's really nice and opaque, it went on nicely like the others did, no streaking what so ever. As you can see this one was very glossy once dried, which is nice if you don't have time to apply topcoat.</div>

#3 is a sort of dusty rose shade. My mom has a colour near identical to this one by Sally Hansen's nail prisms.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I only used 2 coats for this one, although on some nails you can still see my tips, but I'm certain a 3rd coat if you're patient enough for that would cover it all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I personally don't think this shade looks to good against my skin. So I may not wear it out too often.</div>

I find it so weird trying to type on my laptop since my work computer is completely different.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, it sucks that I missed last week, both LGBTQ pride AND Canada Day. I didn't get a chance to since my new furbaby wanted to play with my brushes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a simple and easy one:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
A super easy water-less marble, better known as "needle-dragging" except I used a brush in place of a needle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used "You Callin' Me a Lyre" by OPI as a base, with "Fairy Dust" (China Glaze), "Disco Ball" (Sally Hansen) and "French White Creme" (Wet n' Wild) for this.</div>

I really wanted a floral, specifically cute little roses this week.</div>

The watercolour nails look like my bedspread hahah. I did those by using acetone to water down the polishes and that's how they made that blended look. I did roses on my thumb and ring finger, although it would've looked nicer if I went blue and purple flowers as opposed to pink and yellow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On a side note, I cut into my middle finger with a butcher's knife last week while trying to chop up some stuff, so you won't be seeing that finger in my posts for a while until it has healed up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Colours used:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Don't Touch My Tutu" O.P.I</div>

"Posh Plum" Sally Hansen</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

The colours used were "Rose Among Thorns (Neon)" and "Tempt Carnation" by China Glaze. The stripes were done using striping tape and I then added some gold studs I got from the <a href="http://bornprettystore.com/" target="_blank">BornPrettyStore</a>. </div>

I think it was last year, but I bought a set of 20 different water decal full nail strips, and here's one of them:</div>

</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This weekend was really busy so I needed to do something really fast, and these water decals are good for those days. It took me about 20 minutes to get these all done, they are a little tricky to work with though.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a good week!</div>

This is a beautiful metallic magenta. It's a great combination of pink and purple, and metallic shimmer.</div>

This is with 2 coats, it went on nice and smooth with no streaking. It dried nice and quick too. This colour also maintains a nice gloss to it once dried.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll update on the wear once I've worn it longer.</div>
