Twinsie Tuesday, Saran Wrap Mani

Hiya Dolls

 

It's Saran mani's this week at Twinsie Tuesday!  I have attempted this look once before, but it was a major fail.  This time was better!  It reminds me of stone.

 

I used Essence Chic Reloaded as my base coat.  I picked this up the other day and it is a really gorgeous duochrome finish!  Looks mostly black but flashes a brilliant pinky-purple and then green. I dabbed on Sally Hansen Whirlwind White with the saran wrap.

Christmas Sweater Mani

Hello hello!

 

This Christmas season I am super inspired by Nordic style prints.  I have bought Nordic tights, printed wrapping paper, gift bags, napkins and have rocked some printed nails too!  I saw on The Nail Network's blog that she created a Christmas sweater mani, and I immediately loved it! 

 

I created my own using OPI Nein! Nein! Nein! OK Fine! as my base color and Sally Hansen Whirlwind White as my stamping color.  I used a lace stamp that I have and while I don't own any Christmas-y stamping plates, I found a flower that looked a bit like a pointsetta to me.

 

 

I had started with an accent finger, and when that one worked out ok, I thought I would try doing them all.

 



Patriotic Mani, Twinsie Tuesday

We celebrated Canada Day on July 1st, with rain and fireworks! So typical! Haha

Today is my youngest daughters 8th birthday, so Happy Birthday Nalaya!

And happy 4th of July to you Americans tomorrow!

So to show our patriotism to our countries, this week for Twinsie Tuesday we are swatching a patriotic mani!

I used SH Whirlwind White and Essence Glamorous Life.  2 coats of each

Can`t wait to see what the other Twinsie`s came up with!

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.

Hiya friends

Oooh I was so happy to see that I've hit 200 followers!  It' so exciting for me, and I'm glad to know people are enjoying my little blog.  So thanks ya'll.

For this mani I did a purple tip, and stamped my favorite design over the whole nail.  The purple is Joe Violet, the white is SH Whirlwind White, and the plate is M71 I believe.



Flowers

Hello hello

Trying something new to me today with my stamps... using a few drops of different colors on the plate.  I think it turned out pretty cute.  The base is LA Girls Fairytale, and I stamped with SH Whirlwind White and Sinful Colors Dream on.  Not sure what no. the plate is.

Bar Glitter

I picked up some glitters a while ago, thinking they would be fun for frankening.  Today I've got the green bars, and I also have pink, purple, orange, yellow and blue. 

They turned out way chunkier on the nail than I thought they'd be, so that's a bummer.  They were fun for a day!  Base coat is Whirlwind White by Sally Hansen.
