Nude 'n Rainbows

Purchased by Me

Hey Everyone!

How are you all doing today? It's still been snowing here, which is terrible for me as my landlord has not come by to remove the snow yet and I'm having a hell of a time getting in and out of my house with my crutches. Needless to say I am unimpressed. He'll be getting another call from me soon lol.

I've got another from the vault post to share with you. I did these when I wanted something quick and dirty but wanted it to have a little bit of flair as well. I pulled out OPI Did You 'Ear About Van Gogh and painted all my nails with 2 easy coats.

Then I took out my Art Club Stripers Brites Set and used all 7 of those stripers to create my rainbow on my ring and thumb as accent nails! It was bright and fun enough to cheer me up out of the dreary winter weather. I know it said it yesterday, but please can the snow melt and spring come! Also so I don't have to be terrified of leaving my house and slipping on more ice... lol

Is the weather still dreary where you are? Do you use fun colours on your nails to cheer yourself up when it is so crappy out?

Hope you guys are having a good day!

Morning Everyone!

First off I want to apologize for my week long absence from my little blog. 4th year at University is hard and on top of all the insane schoolwork I've been doing this week I've unfortunately gotten sick and it's taking all my energy to get to class let alone work on my blog. I'm writing this post from bed and will be going back to sleep once it is published lol. Today I have a new to me brand to share with you, Animeniac Cosmetics! This is a Canadian nail polish line that is inspired by Anime, Magna, Comics, Gaming and Sci-Fi so that all the polishes are bold, vibrant, glittery and creative. I have 4 awesome polishes to share with you today so lets jump right in!

I have a bunch of pictures of these beauties so click through to see more!

Geometric Challenge Day 4: Curved

It's Day FOUR in the Geometric Challenge! Today's theme is curved. So essentially any curved line. SO MANY POSSIBILITIES! The nails I'm showing you are actually the second set of nails I created, because I wasn't entirely happy with my first ones, but I'm super excited about what I came up with in the end!

RAAIINBOOWWWWSSSS!! I don't ever do enough rainbow inspired nail art, but when I do I always love it to pieces. My original attempt was this same design but primarily in blues and greens. I liked it, but it was missing something. The rainbow and holographic goodness that I was craving.

I used Color Club Harp On It as my silver holo, second day in a row I'm posting about this wonderful polish! It does not come out of my helmer enough. For my rainbow I used a bunch of polishes that I shall list below. The curves were done with my medium length striping brush! The rainbow of polish used was,
China Glaze Snap My Dragon
China Glaze Escaping Reality
China Glaze Orange You Hot?
NYC Lexington Yellow
Sally Hansen Green With Envy
China Glaze Sunday Funday
China Glaze Gothic Lolita

I love this. So fun and rainbowy and curved to boot. I kind of stared at my nails forever and a day when I wore these. SO MUCH FUN!

I can't wait to see what the rest of the awesomely talented ladies in this challenge have come up with, so head over to their blogs and check it out!

Fuzzy Easter Eggs

Happy Easter Monday! 


Here in Canada the Monday is also a holiday and some people get the day off from work, and I am lucky enough to be one of those! I have had an awesome long weekend, spent so much time with family and friends and just enjoying each others company. I also did about 6 sets of nails for my family and friends on Friday lol. While I was doing all of my friends nails I also wanted to do mine, and ever since I saw that Jen The Polish Aholic had done some fuzzy nails using flocking powder, I wanted to create my own version of them. I bought a 6 pack of flocking powder and had my friend pick 4 colours that I could use to create a stripey fuzzy look. 

I started off by painting my nails with China Glaze White on White, because I knew I was going to be putting on a variety of colours and wanted to let the colours of the powder show up. 
Then I put tape across most of my nail so that just a bit coming up from the cuticle was showing. I then applied a bit more of WoW and sprinkled flocking powder in Goldenrod. I was having a hard time getting the powder to stick when I was just sprinkling it, so my friends took it and poured each of the four colours into four little tupperware containers. My boyfriend commented that it looked like we were measuring some sort of fairy drug with all the colourful powder that was flying around! Then once the powder was in the containers I scooped some up and pressed it into the wet polish. Then I blew off the excess powder. 


Once Goldenrod was done I taped off the top half of my nail and did the same thing with Lime flocking powder. Then taped off the tip and did the same with Hot Pink flocking powder. Finally I applied some WoW to the tip and added some flocking powder in Calypso. 

These were SO FUZZY! I was amazed at how soft they actually were. I kept rubbing them against my cheek. Actually I kept going up to my boyfriend and rubbing his cheek to see how long it would take him to laugh lol. 

These were super easy to do and I loved the effect. I went to a friends Friday night and he had a lot of family over and they kept being like Ooooo I want to pet your nails! Weird thing to hear, but still pretty cool at the same time. 


For the life of these nails, I was actually shocked at how long they lasted. I did these Friday afternoon and Sunday afternoon they are still fuzzy! Some have fallen off and it is a little matted down, but I can still put them up to my cheek and feel the fuzz! That is through 2 showers, washing dishes, making food and regular life. I am so impressed by these and love the stripes! 


There are so many possibilities with flocking powder I think I am going to have to experiment some more :) Flocking power can be purchased at Michael's in the scrapbooking section. I bought a package of 6 in the Recollection brand for 11.99. 


Do you love or hate my fuzzy Easter nails?
