Julep $0.01 Deal and Rain Rain Go away Nails.

Hey guys :)

I'm so excited about Juleps penny promotion :D I had seen other bloggers talk about it yesterday and I had to check it out right away, I thought, Julep Nail Polishes for a Penny?? I gotta have it!! So sure enough I went there and it was true, If you order in May you get your first month for a penny :D But other months will be regular price, which still isn't bad considering that a single Julep nail polish is around $16.50 at Sephora!! So $20 a month for $40 worth of stuff is an awesome price!! I cannot wait to get my Julep package!!

So If you want to grab this great deal GO HERE!!! Become a Julep Maven!!

(This link contains my refferal. For every two people who order from my link, I get a month for free. :D A girl can dream, right? Lol)

But don't forget your code

"SHAREONMAY" 

So for tonights mani I chose a rainy day scene. The weather here has been a bit sad, Its been raining and cold and now foggy. I want sun, I want to sit outside with my dogs in my garden and get my garden gloves dirty :D I started off with a dark gray thumb and worked my way to bright sunny pinky.

 Now that I think about it, I'll be sad when I look outside and sad when I look at my nails :P It's ok, can't be too sad when you use glitter, which was really kind of hard to capture in these pictures.

I'm a little disappointed with the pictures, I took around 50 pictures and still none captured the colors right. My lightbox isn't working :( Maybe I really will have to wait for real light in the mornings or afternoons. This sucks considering I am a night owl.


Polishes I used:
Base Coat - Essie Millionails
The Gray was a mixture of Pure Ice Kiss Me Here Mixed with a bit of Black NYC Black Lace Creme and Blue China Glaze For Audrey and a bit of white added for each nail beside it Finger Paints Paper Mache. 
Then the Blue on the pinky is just China Glaze For Audrey
Finally the Sun is Sally Hansen Xtreme wear Mellow Yellow.

Blue Glitter Leopard Mani

I was feeling lazy today but I needed something new to look at. The previous mani lost its cherries, lol. I was doing some gardening today but not only that I was making art :D I found some awesome Moss Art pictures last year and decided it was time to try it out myself. Maybe I'll post the pic of my supposed mossy art project :D

Ok ok, enough about gardening and moss. Nail time. So like I said, I did a lazy mani, nothing flashy or too creative. I knew I wanted glitter and lots of it, and as always I can not get enough leopard print :D

It came out pretty ok, But I think I still prefer the freehand method :D Oh and also ignore my thumb nail, I totally nailed that one lol.

Ok, I already put away the polishes I used so from memory:
I used 2 different nail polishes as the base Sally Hansen HD Spectrum and Finger Paints Laugh My Art Off
The Black is Finger Paints Black Expressionism 
and a new Topcoat I'm trying Orly Polishield 3-in-1

Ok, Now for my moss art :)

Hopefully in a few weeks it'll be a big lush green moss masterpiece :) We'll see. The first time I tried this the rain washed it away, but this time I got smarter. I bought water retention gel pellets, that should help :D But like I said. We'll see.

Poppy Fields

So I was looking through my many packets of flower seeds, and I ran into my Oriental Poppy's and instantly I wanted them on my nails. I've been wanting to do more floral patterns, not just the rose. So I figured this would be the perfect opportunity. Also I want to add that right in the middle of my first finger I saw a giant white ugly spider on the screen and instantly flipped out. My right hand looks way better but I did not in any way stick to my mock up plan. I rushed through it, I didn't want to be near the computer any longer!! Oh that reminds me, I made another tutorial, but first the pictures of the mani.

I think the thumb came out beautifully. The rest of the fingers on the left hand remind of a lot of the Super Mario games, lol. I'll post the pictures of the right hand later on in the day. I really need to work on getting a new camera. My phone isn't cutting it at all. After this I'll share the tutorial. :)

For this Mani I used:
Blue base is China Glaze For Audrey, the Green is China Glaze Tree Hugger, the dark red in the poppy is Sally Hansen Nail Growth Miricle Divine Wine the Lighter red is Essie (I still can't remember the name of it) the Black is Finger Paints Black Expressionism The Yellow is Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Mellow Yellow The Gray in the cloud is Pure Ice Kiss Me Here and the White is Finger Paints Paper Mache.
