I love Gradients!

Gradients are cool. I love them, you love them, my boyfriend loves them. It's all good!

I actually planned to reverse these prints. I wanted the tiger/cheetah print on the orange/peach hand and the dots on the blue and purple hand. But I got distracted, and this is what happened. I think I like this way better.

So here's purple gradient tiger print, and blue gradient pastel cheetah print.

Here's just big white dots on an orange/peach gradient. And a plain accent nail.

That's all for now<3

First Day of Sophomore year! AND the OLYMPICS!

Today was my first day back to school, and as a sophomore! How exciting! I kind of like my classes this year, but it's gonna take some getting used to, for sure.

It's also time for the 2012 London Olympics! I wish I had time to watch the events I want to watch!  But luckily, I have it all recorded.  So, in spirit of the 30th Olympiad, here are my olympic theme nails!

On my thumb, I have red, white, and blue sponging with silver "USA".

Then a simplified American flag.

Then the Olympic rings, which doubles as the Olympic flag.

The Union Jack, since London is hosting the Games.

"2012" since that's the year!

Instead of 2012, I was planning on writing "XXX" for the 30, but that seemed too...special.

And since I got lazy, red creme polish with silver stars, medium blue, and fine silver glitters over!

GO TEAM USA!!

That's all for now<3

4th of July!

So these were SUPPOSED to be posted on the Fourth of July and I have no idea what happened..

But I guess better late than never, right?

So to the nails! I realized how much I dislike the idea of having ONE design for an occasion. So much that I will think up 10 different designs. I might be insane. But it's alright.

Left hand from thumb to pinky: American flag, glittery red white and blue sponging, red silver and blue sequins, rwb splatter, rwb stripes. I really hated my pinky nail and was always going to change it, but never got around to it.

Right hand thumb to pinky: red white and blue polka dots, rwb stripes with star glitters, half red/half blue with white crackle, rwb sponge tip with "USA", blue and silver glitters with stars over a red base.

Sunlight pictures! 

That's all for now<3

I'M SO BUSYYY AHHHH!!!!!!

So, I've been a busy little bee.  And I realized I haven't posted in forever. Some of that is due to the fact that my computer is being all wonky and whatnot, so I haven't been able to properly watermark any pictures.

ANYWAYS, here's a tiny snippet of some nails I wore sometime somewhere...

RETRO NAILS FTW!

I used Color Club Pure Energy, A KISS black and white striper, and a medium sized dotting tool.

Yum(:

These are really simple to do and can be made with any colours you want!

See?

I used Color Club Electro Candy, some brown from Avon, A KISS white striper, small dotting tool, and some plastic dot nail thingys.  Yeah, helpful, I know. Hah.

That's all for now.  I'll make sure to post more regularly! <3

D27 D27 WHAT?!

This past weekend (10.29.11) was Fall Rally North for the Key Clubbers from CaliNevHa.  It was at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, and it was LOADS OF FUN!

What exactly IS Key Club?  Well, it's really hard to explain, so I'll let the Key Club site tell you!  

Anyways, this weekend a whole bunch of us northern Key Clubbers went to Six Flags and attended a rally where we competed for the highly-coveted spirit stick.  We showcased our cheers and cheered all over Six Flags.  THE. WHOLE. DAY.  My voice was literally gone for two days.  Crazy.  Well last year, the District 27 Grizzlies (that's us!) won it, and we were the one to beat.  Our biggest rivals were the D7 south monsters.  This year, we didn't win it, it was a close call!  Those dumb Monsters won it.  We all said it was cos we won last year, I think so too.  Next year, we're bound to win.  

NOW, that story is over, finally, so here comes the nail spam.

Both Hands! With our signature cheer, and part of another Grizzly cheer.

Thumb-Key

Index-F (for fall)

Middle-R (for rally)

I sponged red on the thumb and pinky so there was just a white strip.

The rest were nude/beige with a red block and a silver stripe.

My right hand

Polishes I used, in order from L to R:

AVON- french tip white

Sally Hansen- Red Carpet

Le Belle- Pure Black

Jordana- Crystal Glitter

KISS- silver glitter striper

AVON- clear

Out The Door

some unnamed clear

Brown acrylic paint

I kind of cheated with these too. ;D  Don't tell anyone!  I just painted them on a ziploc baggie, put some clear/topcoat, and peeled them off to make my own easy to use nail decals.  I'm sure there are tutorials, or I can make one if needed. (:

And a bonus!  My tutu I made JUST for FRN(:

It was cute with the Key Club shirt I made into a tanktop.

And if you couldn't tell, RED was D27's colour(;

That's all for now!  Sorry for the MEGALONG story! D:  I felt the need to inform the general people, though(:  <3

Somewhere Out in the Galaxy

Galaxy Nails!  I love the way these look, and I ADORE how easy these are to do.  They look like a lot of work, but they're not.  I'll show you, and tell you, how it's done.

Just paint on some black.  Sponge on some white in a curved line.

Sponge on some yellow on parts of the white, but not so much that you cover it up.

On top of the yellow and pink, lightly sponge on some pink, but again, not so much that you cover up either colour.

Around the edges of the white, sponge on some navy blue to fade it out.  With a toothpick, needle, small dotting tool, or anything with a small edge, dot on tiny dots for stars.  Dot on a few bigger dots for the bigger stars.  Go over it with a glittery top coat, preferably gold or silver.  Apply a coat of regular top coat, and you're done!

These are the polishes I used.

Clear--Avon

Black--La Belle "Pure Black"

White--Avon "French Tip White"

Yellow--Icing

Pink--New York Color "Greenwich Village"

Navy Blue--Revlon "Midnight Affair"

Glitter--Colortrend color me pretty topcoat "Gold Spritzer"

Topcoat--OutTheDoor dry fast

That's all for now(:  And if you've noticed, I FINALLY got all the polishes I used for this one. ;D
