Share the Love Wrap up

25 Nov

Good morning and happy Friday!  Are you Black Fridayers?  I’m not.  I would rather pay more money than camp out in the cold so I can fight crowds for door busters.  No thanks.  So today marks the end of Share the Love.  I’m really happy I joined this small group of ladies in this experience.  Again, thank you Amanda for putting this together.

To finish off the week I was trying to think of something fantabulous, but I couldn’t get this mani out of my head.  I have been wanting to try thumb print nails for a while now.  I’ve played around with it different ways to do this, but failed a few times.  I just wasn’t getting the result I wanted.  I don’t know why I wanted to try this so badly, but I just kept coming back to it.  After painting my thumb and stamping it on a piece of paper about 30 times, I found the formula that worked best.

Despite finding the best method, I still redid each nail about 5 times.  I’m not sure what I think about the results.  Can you tell it’s a finger print?  My base color was Orly Green Apple and I used Sally Hansen Black Out for the stamping.

I did think of another possible way to do it that I might try and see if I can get better results.  If I figure out a way to get good results without redoing each nail a bunch of times, I’ll post a how-to.

They’re kinda CSI.  Do you think you would ever try thumb print nails?

Day 17- 30 Days of Untrieds: Sally Hansen Wet Cement

17 Nov

Sally Hansen Wet Cement:  This is a grey everyone should have in their stash.  Very versatile color and went on super smooth and opaque.  I’m thinking of all sorts of ways to use this color.

Day 5- 30 Days of Untrieds: Sally Hansen Ice Queen

5 Nov

Sally Hansen Ice Queen:  Glitter FAIL.  I figured I’d get more big glitters on my nails, but this is 5 coats and my pinkie only has 4 glitters.  Very disappointed.  I was going to use this to do a fun mani with another color, but I think I’ll have to use a different glitter polish.  Unimpressed.
