Rainbow Dots!!!

Sunday, November 28, 2010 Category : , , , , , , , , , , , , , 19

I have a fun french manicure for you guys today!
  1. I freehanded the french tips with a pastel color (could also use nail art stripers to get the line)
  2. I went over the pastel color with a darker related color
  3. I used a dotting nail tool to draw on the dots.


    These are the polishes I used:

     Left to Right:
    WnW Lemon drops, Cotton Candy Delight, Bubble Yum Gum, OPI Rumple's Wiggin, WnW Grape Crush, Avon Vintage Blue, SH Pacific Blue, Avon Jade, OPI Jade is the new black
    **Pale yellow was made by adding lemon drops with white since I don't have a pastel yellow

    ___________________________________________________________________________________

    The dotting tool was provided by http://www.bornprettystore.com/ and it is perfect for nail art.
    I have this kit .  I used to use tooth picks to do the dotting but the dotting tool makes it easier to draw even sized dots.  If you don't have a dotting tool the toothpick still works =)
    I think the great thing about this kit is that the different dotting tools all come with different sizes so it allows you to vary your dot sizes easily compared to a toothpick.  The yellow dotting tool has a pointy tip so it can be used to pick up beads and rhinestones =)

    Disclaimer - The dotting tool was sent to me for review with no payment. My opinion is an honest one.

    So....OPI is having a 100 000 facebook fan giveaway, they will give 100 fans 6 retired polishes if OPI reaches 100 000 facebook likes by Dec 31. Awesome right?  Not for people residing outside of USA.  Like Me =(  The 6 retired OPI polishes that OPI are  giving away are Kinky In Helsinki, Smokin' in Havana, and Parlez-Vous OPI, HooDoo VooDoo, Cheyenne Pepper, and Sahara Sapphire.


    Well..guess what? I'm going to give OPI HooDoo VooDoo Away!! ..okay that's only 1/6 but at least everyone, anywhere, can have a chance to win it, it will be part of my 300 follower giveaway!  I'm still collecting my giveaway stuff but I'm working on trying to get some more rare harder to find items, so keep your eyes open!

    ***Edit: here it is, an original Winter Resort Collection 1995 HooDoo VooDoo!  Even the labeling is different!

    side note: how was everyone's black Friday? did you guys go shopping ? there isn't a huge black Friday shopping event here in Canada but I still ended up buying quite a few things..like motocycle boots, 2 coats, 2 pairs of jeans, nail polish. =)  I'll post pictures of what I bought up later

    I hope everyone has a great day!

    eminem told me to do it.

    And I just can't keep living this way
    So starting today, I'm breaking out of this cage
    I'm standing up, I'ma face my demons
    I'm manning up, I'ma hold my ground
    I've had enough, now I'm so fed up
    Time to put my life back together right now!
                      -"not afraid" eminem

    So I'll be unemployed in 2 weeks...and I'll be okay =)


    I wanted to thank everyone for their kind comments.  I really appreciate all the advice that was given.  I went through each comment and really thought about what was said and then came to my decision.

    This is just a simple blog but with all the people I've talked to and "met" it just seems much more than that.  Thank you for being my readers/ commenters/ followers. 




    Back to the nail polish world....

    sooooooooooooo...I received a wonderful package from Ms. Delaynee on Thursday.  It was....China glaze For Audrey...one of my long time lemmings =)
    She is such a sweet heart for sending it over to me....plus she used express post.  o_o
    Thank you Ms D!


    By the way, I am using a different camera so my photos are not as nice as before.  The original camera I used was a canon rebel but it was my brother in law's and he needed it back so I returned it. My photos are now taken with a pentax camera, which is terrible for taking macro shots, the colors are a bit off and somewhat blurry. I also had to use flash for my photos or else the designs would not show up...please bare with me for a few weeks until I get the camera back.


    Ms. Delaynee didn't just send me for audrey, she also sent me the double ended konad stamper....ekk!

    Of course I had to apply For audrey right away and nail stamp it

    On top of stamping I had to bling my nails up with viva la nails hexagonal nail glitter.  I need to get more of these because I think their glitter would be perfect for frankens, especially for making dupes of deborah lipmanns hexagonal glitter polishes.  Just take a look at their neon glitter..the glitter comes in all sizes !!!!


    Please note the glitter used was received from the viva la nails sample pack, go sign up for one right now!!


    So..here are my nails..which you sort of already saw in the very first picture:

    Items used:
    • China glaze for Audrey
    • Sally Hansen xtreme White on
    • Konad image plate M78
    • teal dazzling glitter from viva la nails



    ** ChaosButterfly and *~ JuLiAnnE ~* tagged me for blog awards so i'll be putting them up in my next blog post =)
