Just Popping in

Hi Guys

Happy 2013

I've been away for wayyyy to long. I haven't been doing to well and just don't have the energy after work to do my nails. It terrible really the state they're in.But I'm hoping to make a comeback soon.

I just got a couple polishes from Avon (I can't believe I spent that much on a few bottles of nail polish) so maybe I'll be doing my first swatch soon.

My blog is forever on my mind but I just don't have what it takes to get up and do at the moment. I'm still checking out though what other bloggers are up to and as usual they never disappoint. I've been seeing some pretty cool stuff.

I'm hoping to start back with regular posts soon. We'll see how it goes.

Take care now

Love

Splatter Nails

Hey Guys

Today I'm trying out the splatter technique. I came across the particular technique on Judith of Spektor's Nails Blog. She did a decal tutorial showing how to get the splatter effect without the mess of blowing the polish directly onto your nails. I thought this was totally awesome and just had to try it out.

She said prepare it and leave it overnight. Me being the commitment challenged chick that I am came back to it more than a week later.

For my first attempt at this I thought it came out sort of ok. Hers is a million times better. lol. She has really mastered this or maybe the polishes I used were not the best.

This is what it looked like before I cut it into strips. Silly me forgot to take pics of the strips.

I may try this again soon. I hope.

Thanks for stopping by. Till next time.

Battle Nail Polish - Battle #2

Batttle No. 2 - Black vs White

When I think about black and white first thing I thought of was Zebra. Then I thought many might think the same. Then I remembered I have this cow print stamping design that I've wanted to use for so long but never had the opportunity.

This challenge seems to me to be the perfect opportunity. I used Avon Nail Experts French Manicure (the white) as my base and stamped with the black from Santee. My top coat kinda streaked a bit. I have the konad top coat which is perfect for stamping but I'm pinching it because ordering it is a hassle and money

I am actually satisfied with this one. It did not send me bonkers. lol

Check out the other gals.
