HAPPY BIRTHDAY SELMA!!

 

This is a SpongeBob cake I made for my daughter.

Mommy has got WAY too much time on her hands LOL 

Contest Entry - Picnic Hijack!**WINNER 1st PLACE**

 

OMG, SO time consuming, but what I blast I had making these nails for LuxuriousNails Contest. The theme, creativity....do you think I pulled it off? LOL

The list is so long for these nails, I decided not to list them.

Who wants to read a "War in Peace" length product list? 

But I can tell you that the checkered tablecloth is just a simple Red & White Striper and that acrylic paints were used for most of the designs.

Hmm, I'm sensing a theme with all my nail tutorials as of late. What could it be.....oh yeah, HURRY UP SPRING!!

Early Spring...or just wishful thinking

Today I decided to combination my two latest obsessions...or perhaps it's three. 

Green Polish

Holo Polish

Moonicure's

Because I am SO damned tired of winter, the snow and dull,gray days....I grabbed for China Glaze's "L8R G8R". This awsome spring green Holo.

But, that wasn't enough for me, I then took Claire's "Evergreen" and gave myself a moonicure.

*WARNING*
L8R G8R DOES stain nails. It is essential to use base coat when wearing this polish.

Ahhhh, that's more like it. I'm really into these two-toned moonicure's lately. They are so simple, but so pretty. So, for now at least, I can pretend, if only for a few minutes that it's actually Spring outside.

Here's a couple other Holo's I grabbed.

From Milani's new line, this is a "Hi-Res", a light purple Holo.

And China Glaze's "Rated Holographic", which I believe is from the OMG Collection, as well as "L8R G8R"

 

I'm very pleased with all 3 of these, and I'm sure Ill be picking up more.

In the meantime, I hope this Spring moonicure holds me over till the sun finally comes out.

O.P.I Hong Kong Collection

 

I must say, I wasn't overly impressed with this selection. Perhaps it's just me, but I felt most of the colors were too muted and dull to be considered a "Spring" collection. None the less, I decided to head to the store and check them out. The first color that hit me is "Jade Is The New Black"

I have been on a green binge as of late and this shade isn't like anything I have. The color is a hunter green cream. Really lovely.  As always, O.PI.'S formula stands true, giving a very nice finish with only one coat....two for good measure.

In the end, I decided to grab 2 of the colors from this collection.

Jade Is The New Black & Hot & Spicy

Hot & Spicy is a a red based coral/orange. I'm big on corals during the warmer months, they just tend to suit my skin. So I decided to pick this one up as well. Again, the formula is great, smooth application. Only 1 coat is needed, but I always stick with 2. Drys fast, keeps a nice sheen.

Over all the collection....meh. But I am happy with these two colors and will definitely be using them in future tutorials, so stay tuned!
