Finger Paints "Warhol Wannabe"

 Below is a more accurate representation of the color, but man, that's blurry!

This one is much better, but the neon color doesn't look neon. At first, I chipped the corner of my thumb nail like an hour after I had painted them. I was pissed and thought WTF? But, I think where is was raining and such, the edge was a bit fragile. Ok, the formula...it was a bit thin and thick at the same time. I don't even know if that makes sense, but it has that crelly feel to it, not a creme, not a jelly. I had to use 3 coats to get it to even out, and still, in the light, (you can see in the blurry photo) there is still a visible nail line. I did get a good 5 days out of this polish though, with minimal tip wear. However, it's SO neon, you can't even focus on it long enough to see the tip wear.

Water Marble!

I have been wanting to do a water marble again for a while now. I would put on the white base, then get sleepy or distracted, and inevitably mess something up. Well, I finally got around to it! I think by NOT using a white base, I had better luck. That's what I'll tell myself anyway :) Here's what transpired in a round about way.I bought the Ciate set called "Colorfoil" which comes with a base polish, and then foil to put on the top. I did the base polish "Cream Soda" which is the grey color. (Cream soda is not grey, so I feel a bit let down by the naming of the color that Ciate did. Was someone on crack? Were they color blind?) Then I tried some of the foil. The foil effect is AWESOME, but once you put a top coat on, it gets horrid! It puckers and shrinks and wrinkles. I am going to try different top coats on top of it and see if there is any difference. It seems like if you are going to sell something in a kit, you should include a top coat that works for the finish you need. There is no top coat included at all. Anyway, I repainted the grey and thought, hmmm, I could marble on top of this, the color is light enough... so I did! For the marble, I used Ciate "Cream Soda", Finger Paints "Cerulean Escape" and Essence Colour & Go "Ultimate Pink". I like the layering the swirls did, the blue and pink to create a unique purple color. I will try the foil kit again, and hopefully have better results! Have a great Wednesday!

Cinderella nails

I bought this blue because it looked SO amazing in the bottle. It is Finger Paints "Cerulean Seascape". I'm glad it translated well on the nail. I almost didn't want to cover it up with the stamps! Cinderella is a water decal, because I do not have that good of painting skills like some folks do. It seemed too plain with just the white polish, so I added the light blue stones around her. Then I used one of the MJ plates, and Konad Special Polish in silver for the slipper motif. Hope you all enjoy your day!

Feeling a bit like fall

I am in the mood for fall. Seriously, bring on the hoodies! Who's with me?! So, I got this on clearance the other day at Sally Beauty Supply. I was like, why is this on clearance for $2? It is one of the Finger Paint ones called "Cop an Attitude". I used my China Glaze magnet with it though. (Why does it seem like all of the brands like that weird wavy chevron pattern? And then puts them on all the caps) Anyway, this color puts me in the mood for fall :)
