Day 30: Favorite Technique

I chose Magnetic and Texture.  I have a couple of magnetic polishes but I never really use them, they just seem to fail.  

But I got the Layla Purple Galaxy in the mail from a wonderful girl on the polish group.

SO PRETTY!!

Had to add some caviar and some rhinestones.


Layla Magnetic Purple Galaxy,  Cherimoya black striper, 
Bundle Monster rhinestones and caviar.





I like it :)  It works a lot better than the other magnetics I have.  I have a bunch of other sorts of magnets I can use for different patterns.

Day 29: Inspired by another blogger

Jill!

This one is for you.

I scrolled through your posts and chose to steal your purple dottiness.  But I made it my own.


A veritable cacophony of colour.


All CR Colours.  Minis: 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 22.  CR 57 (full size)


My only gripe with CR is that they're good 2 coaters, but a bit weak as a 1-colour opaque for things like dotting.  They tend to look a little faded out.

Day 28: Favorite Colour

I really should of done this one for the nature one.  

I wanted to do something using pink, but I've done something like 8 pink manis this month.  

So, my favourite pink (and yellow) rose.
"French Perfume" Tea Rose.



CR mini 15, L.A. Girl Disco Brites Disco Diva, CR Yellow Star Glitter.


 I even have a shower poof the same colour.


Tip wear is not too bad, considering I did it last night before bed and wore it all day at work.

Painted Beauties

Friends and nails!

Lisa and Jo needed theirs done for a promo gig they were doing over the weekend.  

Lisa wanted something racing themed.  




I am totally no good at stamping other peoples nails.  I asked if she wanted to clean them up and she said she'd do it later.

Jo wanted something a little more... slutty.  


After browsing pintrest for a while, she found a black and silver mani using chains, and I had that plate!! 


Operation Chains commenced!  

Had Louise stay with me for a night, and we did the whole attempt to water marble thing.

She is much better at it than I am.


And her galaxy nails.  

 

Day 27: Inspired By Me.

Who am I?

I am furbies, my little pony, ty beanie babies and kites. I am wigs, pink sparkles and holographic shimmer.  I am sweets, chocolate and cupcakes.  I am shoes with wheels and a pile of polishes.  I am a crafter, a scrapper, a stamper and a card maker.

I am a lot of things.


My first water marble attempt.  Not enough pink for my liking.  The Color Club holos dry REALLY fast, which gives the other polish no time to spread.


After redoing it all about 5 times, I managed to get a few nails that I liked.  Then I tried to marble the holos.  You can sorta see it... but not quite.



There is everything in here.  Kleancolor, Color Club, Jordana, Revlon, Rimmel.  





Luci-Furr has been shadowing me all day.  So cute.

Day 26: Your Country.

Oooooh.  This one was hard. 

Do I do the flag?  The national colours? or something else?

I went with something else.

Paua!  Our national shell-fish I guess.  Abalone for other countries.  We use it for everything from fritters to jewelery.  Paua Pearls are sought after and fetch a pretty penny.  


 Revlon for the base, but it has no name that I can see.  
Google tells me that it is Over The Moon, but because that duo has this lovely teal blue and a shimmery pink, I'm not sure which is which.  
Kleancolor White, Maybelline Colorama Pink Pinata.


Day 25: Childhood

I was a pure 80s kid.  

Born in 85, I wore neons until I was about 10.


Kleancolor Neon Pink, Neon Orange, Neon Aqua, Neon Amethyst.  
CR Mini green (18 I think from memory), Kleancolor Black & White. 
BM plate.


I need a new Kleancolor Black.  Mine is a leeeeettle too thick now and doesn't stamp awesomely anymore. 


Pretty!
