Water Color

Ever done a mani that looks so much better in person than it does in a macro shot?  That's how I feel about this one.  I wanted to try a water color mani after seeing it here.  It's a really easy process that creates a fun look.  A messy look, which I'm not used to, but still fun.

I started by painting my nails white with Sally Hansen Whirlwind White.  Then I put a coat of Seche Vite over top.  Then I put a blob of Sinful Colors Folly (pink) on my table and dipped a nail art brush in acetone and mixed that into Folly to dilute the color.  I just added it here and there to my nails.  Then I did the same thing with SH Mellow Yellow next, and SH Blue Me Away as my last color.

Twinsie Tuesday Jelly Sandwich

Hiya friends!  Welcome to another Twinsie Tuesday.  This week is jelly sandwiches, my faaaaaave!

Here is mine

I used Sally Hansen Blue Me Away, mixed with a lot of clear coat to make a 'jelly' and I used Island Girl Aloha Surf, for my glitter.  One coat of jelly, one coat of glitter, and another coat of jelly = jelly sandwich!

You know the drill, check out the twinsie's:

Splatter

I've seen some fun splatter mani's out there and wanted to give it a go.  Not sure why I chose these colors, cuz I didn't even like it as I was doing it!  Oh well, next time I'll use my usual soft colors.  The blue is Sally Hansen Blue Me Away, and the orange is H&M Summer Coral. 

I used coffee stir sticks to do the splatter, but I felt like lots of blobs were coming out.  Does anyone have any tips for me?
