Carly's Cozu Melted In the Sun

August/17/2012

Carly's paws again! Woot! She graced me with her lovely paws so I could give her an acrylic set, to help me prep for my Nail Technology exam the next day. Which was awesome of her. She went with a subtle, yet gorgeous shade called "Cozu Melted in the Sun" by O.P.I. And we added some little fimo flowers hand-sliced from the cane and some little rhinestones for some added bling.

When Carly is not getting her nails done you can find her reading and blogging here: A Little Bit of Everything.

Snowy Day Bling

So yesterday I woke up to a light dusting on snow on Betty (my van). And was not impressed as I was heading out to class. So this is the mani inspired by my dislike of snow.

Whole hand.

Thumb Close-up.

So I first put down a white gradient using the sponging technique. I used "French White Creme" by Wet n' Wild for the base colour. On top of that I did a basic glitter gradient using Sally Hansen's "Disco Ball" from the eXtreme Wear line, its like an iridescent glitter. On top of that I randomly attached half pearls and rhinestones which were purchased from Michael's Arts and Crafts store.
Overall I like them, I love blinged out paws, but they are a pain to work with since they are so bulky, I have trouble getting my hands between books to make shelf space.
