BRB REAL QUICK

Helloooo, all. I'm going on a little mini-break-from-reality vacation until next monday. I'll see what I can do about updating and getting some posts together to just automatically post while I'm gone.

I'll miss you all. Try not to let everything go to hell, okay?

Tumblr

I love tumblr and I love tumblrs where readers can submit their own photos. I've made one today...it's called Nail Polish and F---ing Cupcakes.

Submit your mani's with cupcakes here. I want to see them. I want to drool over your cupcakes and nail art.

Enjoy. I know I'm going to.

Floral Newsprint Nails

I love the look of floral nails and I've always wanted to try but never really got the gusto to do them until last night. I decided to try them over newsprint nails. My newsprint didn't show up very strong but I still like the look a lot. The flowers are relatively abstract, but hey..nail art is..art, it doesn't have to be perfect, just color in the lines (harharhar). I really do love these, and next time will be using maybe one or two more colors  for the flowers.

The clean up on this was...annoying. I always forget it's easier to clean up BEFORE adding seche vite on top.

I used Essie Sand Tropez for the base, Zoya Lara and Shelby for the flowers, and this mint green Color Club for the leaves. I used my dotting tools for all this. Unfortunately, after doing a sink full of dishes, this mani didn't make it past the 24 hour mark. Oh well, I have other plans for my nails anyway. )
