UV Gel!!

So, I finally got around to trying UV gels. It's really been a long time since I did anything with my nails, so I did something really different. I saw a friend of mine make drips down her nail, and I thought of this ice cream design. I stuck on some fimo accents that I had made, I made a swirly lollipop, a slice of cake, a sandwich cookie, a whoopie pie, and a chocolate chip cookie. I also made the sprinkles, and coated it all with the UV gel. The gel I used was Lina brand, which I got from Ebay. I had the U Spicy UV lamp which I had gotten off of Amazon forever ago. It worked pretty well, although it took much longer than 2 minutes to cure. I've been wearing the nails for about 5 hours now and no signs of chipping (which would have happened usually by now with my luck) I also made the nails shorter than usual because long nails get in my way. I hope to make more nail art soon and get it onto Etsy since I need to start making some money back from all these things I bought. Please be sure to check back here often, I'll post about my shop here.

New Nail Art!!!

So, I've finally made something new! About time, right?? This is something pretty new, I used bullion, which are the tiny steel balls used often in nail art.  

I've decided to get into something else new, too, known as FIMO!! And Sculpey! I use it to make earrings, as well as accents for MORE nail art! Because of this, I needed something to make it stay on the nail without falling off, so I've ordered a UV lamp, and it will be shipped to me soon! I will be able to make even more nail art with this, and it will be muchhh stronger.  I've started making lots of charms for earrings, including these, which I'm very proud of!

These are modeled after Starbuck's whoopie pies, and they are quite accurate, if I do say so myself! Here's an image of the actual cakes:

I've also made Nyan cats, Piranha plants, Melon pans, cookies, and other stuff! Please, please, PLEASE comment on things that I should also make, I need more objectives! I even made a Hitsugaya from Bleach, it took so long to make!
If any of you would be interested in ordering some of these, let me know, I am thinking of setting up an Etsy soon.  I also will be making more recycled cell-phone keypad earrings.

I look forward to hearing from any of you!!!

Nicole OPI nail polish!

So, I've changed my review of Nicole OPIs! They seem to chip easily on natural nails, but so does everything. These last really long on the KISS nails I bought! I wore it for a week, and there were no chips, and the edge wear was almost impossible to detect. I bought this one last night, it's called.....Actually, I don't know. I'll look later and comment it. It looks like silver under certain lights, and you can see the blue under some lights. These photos look really blue. I like the color, I tried to Konad them, but I am terrible at those. I'm looking to make some epic nail art soon, something really amazing, so stay tuned!

Fake nails! Kiss Active Length Oval 100 piece review!

Woo hoo! Finally no nails down to the skin. These are Kiss Active Length nails, I got them on sale for a dollar off with coupon. It was about $5, and they've survived my breakdance class, so the glue's pretty good. I've chopped them down a bit, since they get in my way if they're too long. You're actually supposed to file them down to size, but I used a nail clipper, which worked well. They're about the same color as real nails, so if your polish is a little sheer, it looks the same. I wonder if I could do nail art on them before I apply them? I think it'd be easier, but I need to be careful when applying the glue, so none spoils the art. Also, little tip, if you like pressssssing down on the nails while the glue's setting, apply a little Vaseline to the skin of your fingers. Just a little, so you don't glue your finger to your nail. That glue. Is. Strong. You won't have fingers glued together forever, but you will probably ruin your nails. Make sure not to get any on the nails that haven't been glued yet, since they won't stick if the Vaseline gets on them.

Been a while, but...

So, another Picture of Katy Perry's Last Friday Night. It's been a while since I did my nails, because my nails have been chipping like CRAZY. As you can see in the picture, they are down to the skin. I'm looking into fake nails first thing I finish this paper for class and my Physics exam. (Wish me luck! I will need it.)

Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night" over white

I liked this shade since I first saw it. At first I bought the "Hottie" from Sinful Colors, but decided to get the original. It's definitely a lot lighter than it appears in the bottle, but in this picture looks more grey than blue. I'd describe it as a periwinkle, with glitter. I want to try this on a blue or black base and see the difference, the white lightens it a lot. I got this for $7.70, because I bought two bottles at a store in town. (Usually $7.85)

OPI Turquoise Shatter over OPI Need Sunglasses?

Quite pleased with how this shattered! It's the first time I've tried Shatter over another OPI lacquer....mostly because I never bought one before.
