Teal Tuesdays CopyCat
Good Morning :)
Another Teal Tuesday morning :)
I missed lasts weeks TT, and I was really excited for it!!! I had my cute "background" flower mani and I couldn't bare to get rid of it, plus I was hoping to get some new teals, which still has not happened. Ok here's what I got, Its something I seen a while ago, and it was before I joined Pinterest and now I can't remember where I got it from. I love Pinterest for this reason!!!
Alright, here's what I used:
Essie True Love (clearish pink)
Mood Struck Teal to Turquise (top teal)
Mood Struck Teal to Turquise (7 drops) + Finger Paints Black Expressionism (1 drop) (Tips)
And silver nail art tape
Seche Vite
Alright that's all for now :)
XOXO,

Lightning Bolt Nails
Hello :)
I've been working on fixing my nail station :) I finally got around to doing my nails. I went for something simple and cute that involved tape (because I got so much tape for free from target) lol. I love tape mani's and I wish I had to patience to cut all the little strips. So here's my attempt at the lightning bolt mani.
So here's what I used:
Julep Claire (Blue)
Finger Paints Key to my Art (Gold)
Finger Paints Black Expressionism
Also, I'm so excited, For a while I've heard a lot of nail bloggers talk about the Helmer from Ikea, and I finally got one. I love it!! It fits perfect under my desk and fits all my polishes (and I have room to spare) I thought for sure the taller polishes weren't going to fit, but they did. Also at Ikea they sell these plastic drawer divider, (I only bought 2, I feel like a dummy) which I find helpful for because I don't have a lot of the same polish (brand) and I wanted to organize by brand not color. I need to go buy more, I really like it this way, and at $3 a divider. I looked online, and I found this. Its cute and totally true.
Well until next time,
XOXO,

Nails Inspired by Rose Background
Yay!! Another post!!
I'm trying to jazz up the place, (blog-wise) I decided to go with a new background, I wanted it to be related to something I've done with my nails, and one of my favorites designs I've tried has to be the roses. So to celebrate, I've took my background and put it on my nails :)
I love it!! Roses are the cutest things on nails, But a pain in the butt to do on my right hand. So I didn't take a picture of that disaster, lol.
Also, I don't know if anyone does any couponing, but this week at Target (I do promise this is nail related) they have scotch tape on sale for 50 cents :) And there is also a coupon on target's website that makes the tape 100% free!! So I printed out 12 coupons :) (2 per computer) and made my way to target and stocked up on tape. I'm thinking about doing it again (If they reset the coupons) I love this time of year, when kids are dreading the back to school routine, and I get tons of free or almost free school supply that lasts me all year.
I can't wait to get some tape mani idea's.
Ok here's what I used:
Essie Fill the Gap!
Cacique Prism Violet
Julep Nicey + Finger Paints Paper Mache (for the rose base)
Julep Nicey (rose petals)
China Glaze Tree Hugger (leaf)
Finger Paint Black Expressionism
Orly Polishield (topcoat)
If you want to try this out, Here's a tutorial I made a little while ago. Enjoy!!

Julep Alfre and Felicity Zebra
Good evening :)
So I got my Julep Maven box, and I was really excited until I tried them out. The purple wasn't deep, rich or dark enough. And the gold is ok, not much more. So I took matters into my own hands, lol. I added glitter, glitter makes everything better :D
The polish dried horribly :( It was streaky, and left bubbles. Maybe I can add some polish thinner :) fix it up a bit.
Ok, here's what I used:
Julep Felicity (gold)
Julep Alfre (purple)
Finger Paints Purple Palette (purple glitter)
Funky Fingers Star Studded (gold glitter)
Finger Paints Black Expressionism (for stamping)
Konad Stamp m-57
Orly Polishield (topcoat)
Also, the reason I've been away is because I've been drawing a bit. Here's what I've been up to :)
Anyone know who she is? She's from True Blood, aka my girl crush, Pam. I love this woman, her character is amazing, strong, beautiful and loyal. So If I find myself away for a while Its due to this. I started drawing this a few months ago, and was scared to put color to it, but I finally just jumped in. I'm using 2 kinds of pastels, Oil pastels for the hair and pastel pencils everywhere else. I'm finding I like the oil pastels better because this paper I have is too textured :( Ahhh! Its driving me nuts.
Well that's all for now.

Teal Tuesdays - 50 Shades of Teal
I didn't have the colors to participate in the groups Triplet Teal Tuesday theme: ( So I came up with my own theme lol. So I've been reading 50 Shade of Gray (Its so good, and crazy) and I thought I would use a lot of my teal colored polishes and see what I could do with them. So I didn't end up using 50 different shades, I used 8.
Teal polka dots :) and teal glitter!!
I started out by using Essie Fill the Gap then I used a Coat of Sinful Colors Nail Junkie added Art Deco Teal Glitter then another coat of Sinful Colors Nail Junkie and to top it off I added a bit of Sinful Colors Call You Later just to add a bit of green glitter to it. For the polka dots I used: Julep Claire, Funky Fingers Volts, Mood Struck Teal to Turquise (Its a greener teal but it changes color *Also Its really spelled like that*) China Glaze For Audrey, and Sula Paint and Peel Royal.
I added the colored dots just so you guys can see.
Ok, Well until next time :)
XOXO,

Teal Scales Crackle
Hey :)
So I decided to pick out some colors I rarely use. I love the color of this polish but am not a fan of the crackle look on me. Lol, I enjoy looking at it on other people, but once I do it to myself I want to get rid of it quick. Also, I always enjoy looking at Gnarly Gnails teal Tuesdays nails :) So I decided today will be a teal day for me too :D
I love teal, and I need more teal in my life.
Alright, this crackle looks kind of ok. Lol.
I used:
Funky Fingers Teal Scales
Mood Struck Teal to Turquoise
Essie Shine-E
Art Club Silver Bullion (the sprinkles)
Also, today I bought my first cuticle oil :D I had just been using Jojoba Oil from the Vitamin Shoppe but decided it was time to get the real deal. I bought this cute little bottle from Sally Beauty its called California Mango and it has a tiny little leaf in it and it smells great :) I hope it does good.
Alrighty, that's all I have for tonight.
