Black and White Nail Art

Another guest nail art mani! I gave a friend free range of my nails, after only answering what colors I preferred, and this is what happened. Beautiful! Though the 3D parts were quite bothersome, as it turns out. Next time I'll know better and remember to say, "Nothing glued on, please!"

It might be a little hard to see, so that's loose iridescent flake glitter on the pinkie, striping tape stripes on the ring finger, tentacle-like freehand lines with rhinestones on the middle finger, dots on the index finger, and a penguin plus rhinestone snowflake on the thumb.

But that penguin, tho... *-* Much cute!

Guest Polishing: Galaxy Nails!

This doesn't really count as a true guest post because it's still me, Holly, writing, but I have nails that someone else did! These are my first galaxy nails, and the first time she's done galaxy nails. Firsts!

I'm not sure of which colors we chose, since they were her polishes, but I can tell you that we learned the gas clouds need to be made of cremes, like pink/purple is here. One of those silver clouds was supposed to be blue/teal, but the polish we chose was too shimmery. Lesson learned!

And here, have some flowers, since they're so in bloom right now in my yard.

Pastel Saran Wrap

The Polish:
BC: Revlon - ColorStay Base Coat
Undies: Essie - Hi Maintenance, two coats
Saran Wrap color 1: Sally Girl - Simple
Saran Wrap color 2: Balloons in the Sky, a franken
TC: Seche Vite

This is the first time I've done a saran wrap mani. The first time I've done anything remotely resembling nail art, actually! I can't decide if it's cute or stupid, but all things considered, I think it looks alright for a first attempt, though admittedly better from farther away than up close.

I kind of hated using the saran wrap, though. By my second hand, I was just kind of dabbling the polish on with the brush, and it turned out pretty similar. Maybe I'll try it again some time, but I think before that, I'll probably try sponging first.

Wear: Removed on day four with minimal chips
