Hey guys! I have something a little different today, for me any way! Last week I had an idea for "anti" Valentines day nails using a mixture of reds and blacks. This is one of the few times something came out exactly as I planned! Between the time I did these and now I've seen several other similar idea'd manis around so I guess I'm not the only one with this idea, haha!
I used 4 OPI polishes for this, 3 of which were untried! What!!! This post marks 13 untried polishes I've used this week. I'm super proud of that!
black: Black Onyx. The most perfect black in the history of the world. Used many times and will continue to. The end.
red shimmery crème: Innie Minnie Mighty Bow. This one is really pretty, I'm not really a red girl but this one is really pretty! I think I have most of both years of Minnie Mouse polishes, maybe I should do a swatch post on them? I've used most of them lots. Except this one, haha. But it's gorgeous!
red glitter: Gettin' Miss Piggy With It from the first Muppets line. Hilarious name! I have most of those glitters as well and I'm trying to think of good ways to use them! This one is red and silver glitter in a clear base. It's definitely a topper...I don't think you could get it opaque unless you used a sponge mannnnnnny times.
texture: Stay The Night. This was one of the first liquid sands OPI put out! its mostly black with a red sparkle running through out. I've had it forever but this is the first time I've worn it! I was kind of scared because its black, but its more like a dark charcoal color. I definitely like it way more than I thought I would!
topcoat: I honestly can't remember. Bad blogger! It was only a few days ago but I didn't write it down. It was either Seche Vite or HK Girl. No topcoat on the textures.
vinyls: lightning bolt nail vinyls from Nailvinyls.com
Here's the tutorial video! It might seem kind of slow but I don't speed up my You Tube videos anymore. What you see is really how slow I go, I've always been a slow polisher, it really helps with not getting any on the skin!
I thought this would look really cool matte....and it did! I wore it for a whole day like this! I felt like such a badass, giggles!
Hello! Long time no see! I have had a lot going on since my last blog. My sincere apologies to Zoya for taking longer than usual to get this blog published. I was going to do a little life update but y'all don't care about that, that's what Snapchat/Instagram/Twitter is for ;) let's get to these polishes! Which one do you think I chose to swatch last and wear for the weekend??
Hey Yall! Blogger is finally up and I finally have a few minutes, albeit while the boys are recreating the Indy 500 with their fire trucks in the playroom while I'm on my new mini-laptop (yay)....I'm gonna try to get some of the cakes I've made in the past month up! First up is the baby shower cake. It is half vanilla with vanilla buttercream and half chocolate with chocolate buttercream. I wonder how many pieces they had to cut to find some on both halves, because after I got the fondant on I had no idea where the division was! I asked for a picture of the bedding so I could have something to coordinate with. The only request was the cake flavors, so I could come up with anything! Here's the result.... I modeled the top like the bass drum and made panels around the sides to depict other scenes in the bedding. I'm pretty happy with my guitar...I totally free-handed cut that out. I've stated several times before...I'm not an artist, so that was a pretty big d...
Hello fellow land dwelling friends! We are back from our vacation where we went on another Disney Cruise! We have done a few now and they have been the best trips our family has ever been on. This was our first voyage on one of the classic ships. Can not recommend enough! This was the longest cruise we have done, and I took the most footage ever. It will take me a little bit to sort through it all! I plan on several blog posts and a video. I can't decide whether to divide it up by day or category (food, entertainment, ports, etc) so I'm open to any and all suggestions! I'm starting today with the mani I created and wore the whole time! I was really indecisive about what to do, and therefore waited until the last minute to do these nails and was up entirely too late the night before we left! Once I finally decided on a color palette this is what followed, 2 hours later!
