Playing in the Liquid Sand


GET IT? HA?

...Anyhow...
Hello my lovelies! Today I have something pretty to show you!
I've had these liquid sands for a while now...and I've FINALLY got around to playing with them...
-____-
What took me so long? I don't know...

OPI Liquid Sand is a textured polish packed with glitter that dries to a matte and sandy finish.
There are quite a few brands coming out with the same concept right now...though I have yet to try them.

For this project, I used the following:

Left to right:
 Stay the Night, Get Your Number, Can't Let Go
Ring finger: OPI...Eurso Euro and some KISS studs


For the gradient effect with the liquid sand, I had to dab on Get Your Number and Can't Let Go to make them more visible. This resulted in less mess to clean up, so I was quite happy with it.

OPI Eurso Euro is such a pretty blue...I can't get enough of it....
I do, however, think I got a dud bottle...because it smells like skunk? Why is that???
Anyway, I am in absolute LOVE with my ring fingers...


The sparkles...LOOK AT THE SPARKLES!
They make my heart so very happy.

Overall, I was pretty pleased with the application of all Liquid Sands.
The only complaint I have is the dry time...
I've been spoiled with Seche Vite top coat that I forgot how long it takes for polishes to dry without them.
Patience has never been one of my virtues...But I suppose for the prettiness, I will have to embrace the wait
:D

Anyhoo, that's all for me today!
Hope you enjoyed this as much as I did making it!

Have a wonderful day, beautiful people!

RAWR Shop- Hot Pink


Hey lovers!
How are we doing today? Me....I'd love to crawl back into bed....Mondays and I are NOT friends.
Today I have a saucy mani to show you. Everybody, meet Amanda's claws! 


Amanda came with a game plan, love it when that happens.
For this mani, we used China Glaze's Beauty Within and a variety of KISS studs.

These nails were inspired by a VERY talented artist: Bret Taylor from howyadoin Graphics
He had an art show this past weekend, LOVE his work. Make sure you check him out!
When I found out that Amanda's taking her set of claws to the art show, 
I was SO excited I drafted a bunch of ideas!


We couldn't decide which design to put on her thumbs....
So she picked two that spoke to her the most. GREAT choices!!


I am very much in love with this set of nails. 
Amanda pulls it off so well!


It was so nice meeting you, Amanda! Enjoy your fierce claws!
That's all for me today, hope you guys liked this mani 
^_^

Have a wonderful day, my lovelies!

RAWR Shop- Simply FIERCE


Oh HEY lovers!!!!
Ever have one of those days when you just want something simple, but don't want to be boring?
Despite my need to be obnoxious at all times, believe it or not, I too feel that way...sometimes...
^_^

Today I have something very simple for you at the RAWR shop!
Kira came back to see me yesterday, and it was everything I thought it would be: GLORIOUS!


For this mani, we used:

Color Club- Master of Disguise
Essie- Snap Happy

Oh yes, the accent fingers.....
I raided my local drug store, and hoarded a bunch of KISS Nail Artist studs a while ago...
The lady at the checkout thought I was nuts...But it was on sale!!!!



 After painting her nails black I just HAD to finish it up with the red....It felt right at the time and I'm extremely happy with the outcome! I know these Louboutin nails have been around forever...but I finally got to try it....and yup, I LIKE IT! I LIKE IT A LOT!


I'm so glad that Kira embraces my weird.... 
I'm really digging the tapered squares, and the studs make the accent nails SO MANY FIERCES!!!
Plus I mean...she wears it so well!!!


Well that's it for me today!
Hope you enjoyed this mani as much as I did doing them!


Have a FANTABULOUS day, my lovelies!
