It's not very effective...

Hey there, Nail Friends!


I'm a day late for water type week here in the Pokémon nail challenge!

 But we're a laid back group of ladies (who you are welcome to still join!) and everyone's accepting of tardiness. Speaking of this group, there were some AMAZING pieces of nail art this week from all these talented people and you should check them out! Inlinkz links at the bottom!


So where should I start...hmmm. Well I was just wandering around aimlessly, wondering what pokémon I should choose this week when I was given a golden pokéball. Whatever could be IN IT! It must be the most amazing pokémon in the universe! So I cracked it open and what do I get?

That pic was too good not to use. ANYWAY NAILS!

Sassy Magmar

Hi there, Nail Friends!

I just couldn't come up with a silly title....so I had to go with descriptive. Because this pokémon is SASSY!

An anecdote:

I'm sitting on my computer trying to figure out which fire-type pokémon when my boyfriend says, "what about Magmar?" and then a pause. "You could do him doing duckface"

That is Magmar. And these are magmar nails!

Yes Magmar. LOVE the camera!

Bacon!lava!

Pokédex entry: "Its body always burns with an orange glow that enables it to hide perfectly among flames." (source:http://pokemondb.net/pokedex/magmar)


magmar....is totally trying to seduce the camera. But doesn't realize he's surrounded by bacon!lava. And he has carpet fuzz on him. lol. FIRE TYPE WEEK! Mostly a success!

What's that in the tall grass~?

Hello, Nail Friends!

It's dangerous out there without a pokémon! Wild oddish are in the grass! But can you tell which is a pokémon and which is just a plant?

Hint: one of these are pokémon! (the one you can barely see!)

Take it away, Dex!

"Oddish. The "weed" pokémon. During the day, it keeps its face buried in the ground. At night, it wanders around sowing its seeds." (Source: http://pokemondb.net/pokedex/oddish)

Thanks.

That's RIGHT! It's week one of the Pokémon nail challenge! Hosted by yours truly and Sharra from The Blahg, this challenge is a pokémon a week from each of the different types. This week is Grass-type pokémon and I chose Oddish! (He was a very popular little guy this week, scoring 1st place in number of nails he adorned!)

And he's SO happy to see you!

For this mani I used:

a teeny paintbrush

China Glaze Liquid Leather

Cult Nails Manipulative

Sinful Colors Snow Me White

China Glaze Salsa

Zoya Shawn

Sinful Colors Innocence

Zoya Skylar

China Glaze Aqua Baby!

Aurora Nails Tutorial

Alright, Nail Friends!

I got a few requests on facebook last night to do a tutorial on how I did my aurora nails and seeing as I hadn't painted my right hand yet...I took pictures as I went! So let me show you how this....

Left hand madness!

...came to be!

PIC HEAVY and looooong

Aurora Nails

Well hello there, Nail Friends!

Been awhile. I have since moved to Alaska (whaaaat?) and -gasp!- I have internet in my place of living! You should be seeing more of me now that I can blog from a computer instead of a phone! Finally! But that's not why you're here~


Have I got some awesome nails for an awesome comeback! Alaska (and the Manicured Mommas winter/christmas contest) inspired me to make these nails, representing all my winter wishes to see the northern lights.

I'm working on a tutorial post as you read this!


until next time nail friends!
same nail polish time, same nail polish channel!

Wearable Purple And A LOOOOONG Post!

Hello there, Nail Friends!

I'm sitting down here in my Batcave (no, seriously, it's the best place EVER!)

No, SERIOUSLY! BATCAVE!

Anyway, I'm sitting down here in my Batcave, ready to tell you about the purple dot nails I did for Pretty Face Happy Bank's Wearable Week! Basically PFHB put a call out to nail bloggers to help her pair nails with wearable eye makeup designs because she tends to do, as she put it, "rainbow LSD" (rainbow LSD eye makeup is pretty sweet looking by the way!)

She called and I responded! And why wouldn't I choose purple? and DOTS! You know I love me some dots!

And for those of you thinking, "I can't wear purple...it's so vibrant and crazy! NO! You CAN wear purple. Purple is an equal opportunity lover and can be worn by everyone!


So here we go!
