A Promise of Better Quality

Just a quick post saying that my proper cleanup and good quality pictures are here to stay! I want to have a blog to be proud of and hopefully people will frequent it because of the increase in quality :). My last manicure photographed by my crappy camera will be my black to neon gradient one, so expect much more better quality pictures taken in good lighting like the ones I just posted (of random designs)!

Random Designs (with new nail polishes and tools) =D

For the base I used Julep's Jennifer (that I got in their Cupid's Mystery Box)! I then used Julep's Rose, Essie's Carry On, Essie's Bikini So Teeny, OPI's Chocolate Mousse, and Orly's Mind's Eye. :)

Bonus silly kitten (named Dmitri) who looked like he wanted his nails done too!

Black to Neon Gradient Nails :)

I painted my nails black and asked my boyfriend what to do and he said, "Fade to neon colours, which ones do you have? Just the two American Apparel ones?". He's so cute haha! After I told him he suggested where to use each colour and to only use the orange as the one accent nail. Anyways, here come the photos! =D

Left to right: Matte Nail Envy, Liquid Vinyl, Neon Yellow, Neon Green, Sun Worshipper and to top it all off, Seche Vite's Dry Fast Top Coat!

Minecraft Ore Nails :)

This is Sally Hansen's Wet Cement with various brands and colours on top :).

Simple Dot Gradient :)

Don't particularly like this because it's so simple but here it is! This is two coats of Sally Hansen's Barracuda, two coats of Essie's Plumberry, and American Apparel's T-shirt for some of the dots =).

(more true to colour)

Essie's Sssssexy (Magnetic) =)

This is just one coat of Essie's Sssssexy magnetic polish between a coat of OPI's Matte Nail Envy and Seche Vite's Dry Fast Topcoat :).

I Was Bad Today (Haul)! :)

Shoppers Drug Mart has these three hour BOGO events every little while, and I got paid today!

Left to right: Carry On, Plumberry, Turquoise Moonlight, Lilac Lust, Barracuda, Shell We Dance?, Sssssexy, and As Gold As It Gets. :D

FA at a Tutorial Collage :) (Alcohol Marbling Tutorial)

I know this specific tutorial has been done on RedditLaqueristas, but I'm thinking of starting to make tutorials on a regular basis. I know this doesn't look very good and I really regret the random bunch of text or maybe just the background of it. :P Anyways, are there any good collage making programs for Macs anyone can recommend? I used Picture Collage Maker Lite for this, does anyone know if the full version is much better? Thanks! :)

SA at Rubbing Alcohol Marbling :)

I did these on my sister to look like jawbreakers! =) Like with my own, I started off using two coats of American Apparel's T-Shirt as a white base. I then alcohol marbled her nails with American Apparel's Poppy, American Apparel's Neon Yellow, and Sally Hansen's Pacific Blue :).

FA at Making a Jelly Glitter Polish! :)

I started off with a half-full bottle of white nail polish, added some thinner and a bunch of a base coat/top coat, then I added four kinds of glitters to the polish through a funnel made of paper :).

FA at Water Marbling with Rubbing Alcohol Spray!

I started off with two coats of American Apparel's T-shirt, then marbled on one thin coat of Essie's No More Film! :D

FA at Watercolour Nails!

I started with a base of American Apparel's California Trooper, then sponged on Essie's Cute As A Button, Essie's Bikini So Teeny, Revlon's Scented Mint Gelato, and Revlon's Scented Lemon Meringue! :)

Bonus picture of the pure acetone I bought! I'm going to start doing proper clean-up and maybe even swatches :).
