New Techniques

So I have been seeing people make marbles and designs on a plastic page protector then peeling them off , cut to size and use them like polish decals.
Well I looked at this and though I can totally do that too :) so I did and first result did not turn out great but second attempt I liked more.
I like the versatility of this,  I do not marble well and it lets you do marble design, or you can do heart or circle details and so on.


JLB Mint Candy, Dots Light Green, Wet N Wild Refresh-Mint
First Attempt


Second Attempt
Orange Red color is JLB Coral Dream blue color is YHBEJA 15

Green Me

This is 3 very nice pastel bluish green  polishes

2 coats of Wet N Wild Refresh-Mint, 2 coats for the stripeof Dots Light Green in middle of each nail and then a top coat of Tara's Nail Art in Tiana. My photos do not do it justice.



















Tiana is a handmade polish from Tara's nail art it is part of the No Ordinary Princess collection and it's a green jelly polish with lots of gold shimmer. It is a bit on the sheer side but it is too lovely. I have 4 polishes from this collection Tiana, Mulan, Merida and Pocahontas. I love them all  they are super shimmery and very good for layering. As usual they weren't given to me for review I just love them.

Layla CE54

This is mostly a swatch post. I love some green polish I do, so when I saw this while looking around in ULTA I snapped it up.
Its a green jelly with different size silver glitters and I think maybe some very fine green glitter.
It is pretty opaque in 2 coats and spreads pretty evenly and it dries fairly quickly.  I added the bow rhinestones that  were included in an essence nail art set,  and topped with Seche Vite.




Sorry for the lack of clean up I did this away from home at the hotel after the flood :)
Pinky is chipped because I kept picking at my nails

The great flood - Givaway

Soooo my house flooded with some sewage about a month ago. 
I KNOW! totally gross. 
They are in process of fixing my floors still and now my buffer has run out and I have precious few manicures. Hopefully I'll be back on schedule soon


Mean while I thought Why not have a give-away.
What I want to know Is what would you like to see in a give away?

 Comment and Help me decide what things to include. Striping tape, stamping plates, brushes, files, striper polish, regular polish,particular brands?

Pink and Black with Bows

This is 2 coats of LA Girl Matte Pink with 2 coats of Love and Beauty Glow in the Dark Pink I used M.O.S stamping polish in black to stamp a design from XL Shany Plate 3. Topped it off with Seche Vite.






















I think I did really well with the stamping placement and they came out very crisp. The L& B GTD Pink was a bit more opaque than I remembered so this ended up quite a bit lighter than I had planned.
