Hey guys!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I swear I'm going to run out of names for these tribal inspired posts...please comment any suggestions - all are welcome ;)</div>

Anywho, these are the nails I wore on the first part of my summer holiday. I used a peel of base coat so I wouldn't need to lug acetone as well as other stuff in my suitcase. It lasted a surprisingly long time, considering it's made to come of easily...</div>

Hey guys.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today I have for you another foray into the Face of Australia pastels I bought a while back. This time I wanted them to be a little bit more punchy, and so did this tribal design with them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

It's quite simple, but really a striking look. What do you think? Something you'd recreate?<br />

Today I have for you the glory and, for some, lemming that is Max Factor's Fantasy Fire!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you're unaware of FF, it's a multichrome purple shimmer jelly that, like all multichromes, has a glorious range of colour shift which changes depending on the undies you wear it with.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here I decided to try it over Revlon 'Bubble' as everyone knows what it looks like over a navy or royal blue (<a href="http://the-swatchaholic.com/?p=5073" target="_blank">like Revlon 'Royal'</a>).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For this mani I used one coat of 'Bubble' and 3 very thin coats of FF.</div>

In these three pics, you can really see the bright fiery orange, from whence comes FF's name I would imagine.<br />

Hey guys!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So from Monday night until next Tuesday night it's Passover, the Jewish festival celebrating our exodus from Egypt among many other significant things.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of the main signifiers of the festival is Matzah - unleavened bread - that the Jews made in their rush to leave Egypt. Now, many millennia later, we must still suffer through this wonderful experience.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I decided, thanks to Jenny over at <a href="http://www.10blankcanvases.com/" target="_blank">10 Blank Canvases</a> and her excellent <a href="http://www.10blankcanvases.com/2013/03/matzah-nails-tutorial.html" target="_blank">tutorial</a>, to do matzah nails this year, instead of the 10 plagues I did last year, and these are them!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Mine are not quite as delicate as Jenny's, as I didn't have the right colours, or enough time really - had to get cooking for the feasts!<br />

<br />
And here is me actually holding some matzah for a comparison. I couldn't find a piece of <a href="http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/thumblarge_292/1216855526LvjE05.jpg" target="_blank">Yehudah matzah</a> at the time, which is more colour accurate to these nails, but hey, you get the idea!<br />

Hello...I've been expecting you...*strokes pure white cat with creepy look on face* (yeah, alright, so I'm weird...what were you expecting?)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
ANYway...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This mani was inspired by the brand new (at the time) pastel collection put out by Face of Australia. It came at a 'FINALLY' kind of moment for me, because I had been scouring shops for pastels since about August, waiting for spring/summer because thats when all the pretty bright colours are released.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Everyone was raving about this collection, and I can see why. Have a look for yourselves:</div>

<br />
These polishes are pastels, but so bright and punchy in their colour - just perfect for summer/spring!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I only have 5 of the 7 in the range, as the others (a dusty lavender/grey and a pretty pink) didn't really appeal to me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Application for most of the colours was just amazing, considering their pastel nature. The purple, yellow and orange applied nicely to full opacity in 2 coats. The blue took three thin coats, but was easy to apply, whereas the green took 3 as well, but was a bit more temperamental - patchy at times. I've since been using Revlon 'Jaded' instead - almost a dupe in colour, and much nicer application.<br />

Hello again my darlings!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today I have a quick and dirty mani for you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I did this one Saturday morning when I was in a bit of a rush to go out, and had naked nails.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since I started this whole adventure into nail art, I've become known for it among my friends and peers, and I knew I couldn't go out with nothing on my nails, even if it was as simple as these.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I decided to go for a sort of French mani with this nude and blue gradient, which didn't work as nicely as hoped (note the ring and middle fingers).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This picture also alerted me to my terrible habit of not filing my ring finger to the same shape as all the others! What the?!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJme3FHlpOoaBYzHjRYYuC8vQSpAwlzzg2qjgED2AFJtMDidoc1-tENDqpiygDFoC1bKZ-8h9_udDSp7OsffGd9TxpYnTMEUsu05C7-Jh2BsfI-_fiJ7kpCEpq6khcSJ2CNCDpZW6qsOkV/s1600/NudeBlueGradient.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="309" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJme3FHlpOoaBYzHjRYYuC8vQSpAwlzzg2qjgED2AFJtMDidoc1-tENDqpiygDFoC1bKZ-8h9_udDSp7OsffGd9TxpYnTMEUsu05C7-Jh2BsfI-_fiJ7kpCEpq6khcSJ2CNCDpZW6qsOkV/s320/NudeBlueGradient.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then I gave up on that time consumingness, and just did an actual french tip on the other hand.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I didn't want the blue to actually be the size of my free edge, as I thought that might end up being too much, so I just did a very thin tip, as you can see.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Clearly my frenching skills are in dire need of some improvement! eek!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

Hey guys!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today I've got some chevrons and gradients for you, on Danya's nails. Maybe one day you'll even get to see these girls' faces! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All the rage at the moment, and so I decided to give it a bash, and put my own twist to it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlnLpeTkASYmLQUlK4yoMYU6CdX3qaAU88WxvQHJnC3LmfGeuJqgSCqA2h9ikQAw8g9xZPXlrqWCxyIqup1mde_lqrJ8KemJoMPpamryI07BseeAjLAqGZREZnVZN7of95Sm08gf3buYoK/s1600/DunzChevronGradient.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlnLpeTkASYmLQUlK4yoMYU6CdX3qaAU88WxvQHJnC3LmfGeuJqgSCqA2h9ikQAw8g9xZPXlrqWCxyIqup1mde_lqrJ8KemJoMPpamryI07BseeAjLAqGZREZnVZN7of95Sm08gf3buYoK/s320/DunzChevronGradient.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
These are really bright in real life, with the blues positively popping off the nails.<br />
I used more colours in the chevrons than in the ombré, to get the same fading effect. In future, I would probably use a different colour than 'Fly' for the second to last row, as it's a bit too green.<br />
<br />

Today I have for you the glorious Cotinga by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/GlossnSparkle?ref=pr_faveshops" target="_blank">Gloss 'n Sparkle</a> (which I named, for the stunning <a href="http://www.birdquest-tours.com/tour_main_images/35958658.jpg" target="_blank">turquoise cotinga bird</a>).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cotinga inspired this splotchy laser stripes mani, and it came out beautifully. </div>

<br />
Unfortunately I can't remember the polishes used for the splotches, but I can tell you that that gorgeous accent glitter is Cotinga, and let me tell you, it looks just as spectacular on light blues, purples, and even silvers as it does on black.<br />
This is two very light coats of Cotinga, with no dabbing or placement required. Truly a delight to use!<br />

Well hello there!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today I have some fantastic green gradient, and fun tribal on top.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Let's start with the gradient itself</div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Green Gradient</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
For this, I used Essie 'Mojito Madness' and 'Navigate Her'. These look beautiful together.<br />
<br />
Then, using Revlon 'Emerald' I drew some fine tribal detailing on the top, and after a day or two, I mattified them using Rimmel mattifying top coat.<br />

There's a tute for this design as well if you'd like to see it. It's a fairly straightforward design, but let me know in the comments if you'd like the step by step instructions.</div>

<br />
Today we have some simple clouds.<br />
I had just received OPI 'Fly' and wanted to try it out. I love this blue, and think it works nicely with my skin tone, but didn't want to leave it too plain, and here we are!<br />

Hey, you! Yes you. Right there...reading this! How are you?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Today I have a fairly pic heavy post, showing off a lemming of mine that was finally crushed a little while back.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am, of course, talking about Kleancolor's 'Chunky Holo Black'.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And oh my, did it live up to my hopes and expectations.</div>

Hey guys!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As promised, here's the argyle dotticure tute. It's actually really very simple, and you can take this basic design and turn it into many different styles.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What you'll need:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3A0QTAk1BZIBO6E8p7dd77XQMOoFNh5FsVWG30T1XiSe3ba1cg0nber-ZYT-vRK2e6MQS_kAQYMHX0UZXi5odyN0rorQLwzEEh1oUamzlRFkeVjyuJWoWeEa5HwNXRreD3OiiAnK-RVkH/s1600/ArgyleDotsSupplies.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3A0QTAk1BZIBO6E8p7dd77XQMOoFNh5FsVWG30T1XiSe3ba1cg0nber-ZYT-vRK2e6MQS_kAQYMHX0UZXi5odyN0rorQLwzEEh1oUamzlRFkeVjyuJWoWeEa5HwNXRreD3OiiAnK-RVkH/s320/ArgyleDotsSupplies.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Two contrasting colours. Here I have Revlon 'Rock' and China Glaze 'For Audrey'.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Two different sized dotting tools</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Using your large dotting tool, and place a column of dots down the centre of the nail.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF05Lkjxn22Lc0TJGKJmmDkyBmO0xtfUVqRxJT-h9GK1EEpkC8SuumQ_H3wykBhBMymquCh_VqexiS7RMVttsFRh908DPh-0y8bTaXtThbtglIs5Ztrek4xZtv61SuLvx2ANeTXTyfRMF9/s1600/ArgyleDots3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF05Lkjxn22Lc0TJGKJmmDkyBmO0xtfUVqRxJT-h9GK1EEpkC8SuumQ_H3wykBhBMymquCh_VqexiS7RMVttsFRh908DPh-0y8bTaXtThbtglIs5Ztrek4xZtv61SuLvx2ANeTXTyfRMF9/s200/ArgyleDots3.jpg" width="116" /></a></div>
<br />
On either side of the first column, place more dots, staggered from the first, as shown.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibXd-DPoWTbmQNMJq0ewkyFIuS82Iw77jVyGJ2mQjPo5CVRaRNw-5I3sK94bLKsuGjKjpJRzQzBkPAzlzBej89-OfOl1bvZ6AstLVWTLY55AEYcbrCYXJQX-SjMN52crB8DEk_qq5U_P_e/s1600/ArgyleDots4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibXd-DPoWTbmQNMJq0ewkyFIuS82Iw77jVyGJ2mQjPo5CVRaRNw-5I3sK94bLKsuGjKjpJRzQzBkPAzlzBej89-OfOl1bvZ6AstLVWTLY55AEYcbrCYXJQX-SjMN52crB8DEk_qq5U_P_e/s200/ArgyleDots4.jpg" width="121" /></a></div>
<br />
Using the smallest dotting tool, connect the large dots diagonally on one side, making sure to continue the little dots all the way to the edges of the nail.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRiMwz0lx-F7U3Xxe1ryncq59R5ixayKl9eoO1Isexis9KHKaSzMV53skk_Yp5wDiVHpb017Y4FvII_iHei0Nzk98jO6Gbg4A7RS85V9lBaJFhpZsYVLy0D50mBBuw_CvJBt0qjDGoEDrF/s1600/ArgyleDots5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRiMwz0lx-F7U3Xxe1ryncq59R5ixayKl9eoO1Isexis9KHKaSzMV53skk_Yp5wDiVHpb017Y4FvII_iHei0Nzk98jO6Gbg4A7RS85V9lBaJFhpZsYVLy0D50mBBuw_CvJBt0qjDGoEDrF/s200/ArgyleDots5.jpg" width="131" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Continue joining the large dots, and when done, top coat to seal in your design, and enjoy your super simple dotticure!</div>

Hello again!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today I have for you my first attempt at watermarbling. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now don't laugh at this first picture, I was trying different combinations of colours, to see which ones might spread well enough to let me create designs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I started from the thumb, and landed on a decent combination on the pinky.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I then proceeded to marble my left hand, and this is what it looks like!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This is Revlon 'Cotton Candy' and 'Passionfruit'<br />
You can see on the index finger, that the flower is a little smudged.<br />
I'm pretty sure it happened because I didn't clean the top of the water properly before pulling my finger out, and got some of the wet polish on the design.<br />
Such a shame!<br />

Hello chickens.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As promised, here is a tutorial for the pink gradient half moons.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What you'll need:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7l2a3fSk9AMoW_ZDRmIxfGgQU1cvk5Z7qKgle2QBYuoxjTxtuhvL66FkNH0yg6o-h68xiTOhW7I_e8zusRUwjy2ioJaud1ZPf6uV7jL9c29QvzZfKN_3cNXCzDiEo5fqggDSBen7XjPEx/s1600/HalfMoonOmbreSupplies.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7l2a3fSk9AMoW_ZDRmIxfGgQU1cvk5Z7qKgle2QBYuoxjTxtuhvL66FkNH0yg6o-h68xiTOhW7I_e8zusRUwjy2ioJaud1ZPf6uV7jL9c29QvzZfKN_3cNXCzDiEo5fqggDSBen7XjPEx/s320/HalfMoonOmbreSupplies.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Your two colours, I have pink (Essie's 'off the shoulder') and a white (Sally Hansen 'White Out')</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A latex sponge with which to create the gradient</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Glitter to place around the moon</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Masking tape, foil and a toothpick.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIQW9Nv8EsugcxJ6NLjQm_UhLCUXtlUpvg3X5C6ytPLjIWcEMa_2uS0VRil69E2KFyrvGrpX_RtHp8oGACW4OCgrOOIDHy2WA9bl4mFlQQ3qqJCNfN3U8333BhdIMxDkg1JL7k_PDSMW9H/s1600/HalfMoonOmbre1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIQW9Nv8EsugcxJ6NLjQm_UhLCUXtlUpvg3X5C6ytPLjIWcEMa_2uS0VRil69E2KFyrvGrpX_RtHp8oGACW4OCgrOOIDHy2WA9bl4mFlQQ3qqJCNfN3U8333BhdIMxDkg1JL7k_PDSMW9H/s200/HalfMoonOmbre1.jpg" width="96" /></a></div>
<br />
First, paint your base coat and a coat (or two depending on your polish) of white.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1Frt8idUOhawpYKDoMZAUUVte3x0CSxg62eC59CSJz6yL83_gCZTd4CJhHn_dCKOzpoEgupgjozYmTkOdbWq9i_Fd2he5yACqObTHxlD47cjutHdJHGz9aFIWRxjJkHlxd5JK-F5ALiHB/s1600/HalfMoonOmbre2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1Frt8idUOhawpYKDoMZAUUVte3x0CSxg62eC59CSJz6yL83_gCZTd4CJhHn_dCKOzpoEgupgjozYmTkOdbWq9i_Fd2he5yACqObTHxlD47cjutHdJHGz9aFIWRxjJkHlxd5JK-F5ALiHB/s200/HalfMoonOmbre2.jpg" width="101" /></a></div>
<br />
Next, cut a semi circle out of the masking tape, and place it on the cuticle end of the nail.<br />
Alternatively, you can use the rounded end of a bandaid, or a <a href="http://www.oppictures.com/singleimages/240/14629.JPG" target="_blank">binder hole reinforcer</a>, or any sort of rounded sticker.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNd_sTxTR62ZpGYiwPr4kVJu0sOuiyM3wO3E1jpxDdM1YiG1mbeM-RYAimueejeWhtw096W83KMP1G5UViCWg8lkoUfq67S8Tuf8JzrRbkorAwZ7rbznjevjHpHDkVTUe5XbtgIljPLR09/s1600/HalfMoonOmbre3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNd_sTxTR62ZpGYiwPr4kVJu0sOuiyM3wO3E1jpxDdM1YiG1mbeM-RYAimueejeWhtw096W83KMP1G5UViCWg8lkoUfq67S8Tuf8JzrRbkorAwZ7rbznjevjHpHDkVTUe5XbtgIljPLR09/s200/HalfMoonOmbre3.jpg" width="99" /></a></div>
<br />
Paint the two colours for the gradient onto your sponge in stripes, and dab it onto your nail.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBeZOo6b8cHoRbEJOpb97Z1CDnfYwZLZR56quqlRYhzXH3m9TJXakZIYiMPnBckLsKz4owWWG3CnyasadDY9_tQQdSBYNfEA3mzAFMV1swStoRDGZGc6E3Pw2OjSVgoIdhhlHufEnjdWU7/s1600/HalfMoonOmbre4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBeZOo6b8cHoRbEJOpb97Z1CDnfYwZLZR56quqlRYhzXH3m9TJXakZIYiMPnBckLsKz4owWWG3CnyasadDY9_tQQdSBYNfEA3mzAFMV1swStoRDGZGc6E3Pw2OjSVgoIdhhlHufEnjdWU7/s200/HalfMoonOmbre4.jpg" width="97" /></a></div>
<br />
You can repeat step 3 as many times as you like to achieve the desired intensity, but make sure you let each layer dry completely before applying the next layer, otherwise you'll pull up the layers below.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC7N-BNDijxCZJUko-_ctDbqsHfLY_NY2gr1sRp1X920c7mL-8RJ7vBcXDDbYY4dx_8c_aB9o2swPugnFeXY9fOMFsQToo7ybwH4Oq9HlBcQP9FUKyGkdLFFAZWwvlhDY5-erTZ4o3LQ7l/s1600/HalfMoonOmbre5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC7N-BNDijxCZJUko-_ctDbqsHfLY_NY2gr1sRp1X920c7mL-8RJ7vBcXDDbYY4dx_8c_aB9o2swPugnFeXY9fOMFsQToo7ybwH4Oq9HlBcQP9FUKyGkdLFFAZWwvlhDY5-erTZ4o3LQ7l/s200/HalfMoonOmbre5.jpg" width="94" /></a></div>
<br />
Once you've reached the colour intensity you want, pull the tape off quickly - you don't want the paint to dry too much on the tape.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAH6lXtvfymJUTGd6fqf2BgVgdy61JTuB9vbc5f3ERGyLstdJWPhv5DRT_LkXapNaP4l5d3RHAoQEywK6I_8ScMfZKn9i4jawJmb7nk5uFx9t1SdOCWiY0FdlpTBGGg86mv6gNxxD5md4B/s1600/HalfMoonOmbre6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAH6lXtvfymJUTGd6fqf2BgVgdy61JTuB9vbc5f3ERGyLstdJWPhv5DRT_LkXapNaP4l5d3RHAoQEywK6I_8ScMfZKn9i4jawJmb7nk5uFx9t1SdOCWiY0FdlpTBGGg86mv6gNxxD5md4B/s200/HalfMoonOmbre6.jpg" width="97" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now you can do some glitter placement, if you like!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Paint some of the glitter polish onto the foil, and using your toothpick, pull out individual glitters, and place them where you'd like them on the nail.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I've used them around the moon, and as an added bonus, it helps cover up potentially dodgy lines...:)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Top coat and you're done!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hope this is helpful.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Good luck, and I'd love to see your attempts!</div>

Sally wanted these to match a dress she was wearing to a 21st, so we did some pretty and simple half moons with a glitter placement twist.</div>

Hey there!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today we have some simple black and silver designs with a holo twist for Ilana.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Had to leave the ring in the frame - so prettiful!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
Just some basic graphic black stripes, with simplified accents.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4dLwmRrymL76b7knq92SBVhMW_OixcXDuQOCG0HoVxwb81kKBVaZvThBlratUHY5_wpqxvrHlmbDbu4s7a0mv3Xvqi8zdwqDcFCz0rz9Et3jZABUvzsZVLlCE57zitOMRbl59Y-Cya0Mj/s1600/IlanaHolo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4dLwmRrymL76b7knq92SBVhMW_OixcXDuQOCG0HoVxwb81kKBVaZvThBlratUHY5_wpqxvrHlmbDbu4s7a0mv3Xvqi8zdwqDcFCz0rz9Et3jZABUvzsZVLlCE57zitOMRbl59Y-Cya0Mj/s320/IlanaHolo.jpg" width="285" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Intentionally slightly blurred to show the holographic goodness</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And the beauty of it shimmers in the sun! Can you see the holo on the middle finger? Subtle but gorgeous.</div>

Hello again DarlingHearts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today we have some more ombré, but with a twist!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzipZRBG0W75NMjZsRNXgp-yyKhbDs7XiM0PibiYg24fVVNJEsbeqkk5_Me5TggteSysWbI4E2vSdEA89wcITcvbf93iWwoOujvnZUSsaPm5f2f6_6nYSDFZialeTCGfJe_P-WQWjDfIfk/s1600/DoubleInverseGradientsR.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzipZRBG0W75NMjZsRNXgp-yyKhbDs7XiM0PibiYg24fVVNJEsbeqkk5_Me5TggteSysWbI4E2vSdEA89wcITcvbf93iWwoOujvnZUSsaPm5f2f6_6nYSDFZialeTCGfJe_P-WQWjDfIfk/s320/DoubleInverseGradientsR.jpg" width="310" /></a></div>
<br />
I was inspired to do these by a graphic design <a href="http://instagram.com/p/MJMgRePG1_/" target="_blank">@mpnails posted</a> on Instagram (note: don't open the link if feet creep you out..), and just had to work it out.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAfRHGjPNPfYumAiHMLyL0VO4fz5_SZIuAMIMw0U5E9HIjaVJowi6t3ExWXZyoLHKP_v5cH-fPdNE9yqUwoyYy_OKWs_DlmSCpqpu1dhnLgepS35WeM3Gle0a178iqhPk1chhXN1VdAok0/s1600/DoubleInverseGradientL.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAfRHGjPNPfYumAiHMLyL0VO4fz5_SZIuAMIMw0U5E9HIjaVJowi6t3ExWXZyoLHKP_v5cH-fPdNE9yqUwoyYy_OKWs_DlmSCpqpu1dhnLgepS35WeM3Gle0a178iqhPk1chhXN1VdAok0/s320/DoubleInverseGradientL.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To achieve this look, I did the background gradient first, and once that was completely dry with the aid of a top coat, I taped off the triangles, and did that gradient.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Love the way these look, and how completely vibrant they are! I chose contrasting colours to really add an element of oomph.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
Today I have for you some BYS Colour Change polish and glitter placement in a <a href="http://nailside.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/fierce-french.html" target="_blank">Nailside</a> inspired design.<br />
<br />
The purple used here is BYS 'Bright Purple (N288)'. This is a colour change polish that when cold is this first deep shimmery purple, and when warm, turns into a bright fuchsia.<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This next image shows what each colour is like - I dipped my index and ring fingers in cold water, and then tried to get a pic of them all showing the diff colours.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think I managed okay!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The base of this design is Revlon 'Cotton Candy', and for the triangles in the centre I used a base of Revlon 'Metallic' and NOPI 'Make U Smile' for the glitter placement. I used Metallic as a base, because I knew that the glitter placement would never cover ever corner, and I wanted the silver to really make an impact!<br />
<br />
As always, thanks for stopping by!<br />
Hope the new year is treating you well, and your resolutions are still standing. I know I don't even bother anymore - my commitment to the cause is pathetic! ;)<br />

As promised, here is a tutorial for my version of galaxy nails.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
What you'll need:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYIsdjk8JUZXH25cQjG5m0Q6k6iAfd20awaZmxPzYxTjgTLjexzFB7CZg-e012OAofkDMXYYndZCl-2bRTWn2TblETaRE0ziHVcgLqhDzme_YbuTfQTTAeg2r5GT9LuCE4Kzr23-AjzDyI/s1600/GalaxyTools.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="235" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYIsdjk8JUZXH25cQjG5m0Q6k6iAfd20awaZmxPzYxTjgTLjexzFB7CZg-e012OAofkDMXYYndZCl-2bRTWn2TblETaRE0ziHVcgLqhDzme_YbuTfQTTAeg2r5GT9LuCE4Kzr23-AjzDyI/s320/GalaxyTools.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Basic black, white, and several galaxy-esque colours.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I use purple, blues, and a green for highlighting. I like to use a couple of polishes that have some shimmer to them, to help with the starry night effect. Here, the navy and purple are each shimmery.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fine glitter polish, the one here is NYC 'Starry Silver Glitter'</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A toothpick, and a cosmetic sponge. The same sort you use for gradients.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Remember, for a style like this, you can really use any colours that are even vaguely spacey. I prefer the darker colours, with a hint of lightness cos of the way they blend, but I've seen some truly excellent galaxy nails in pinks and purples, in yellows and oranges.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz0OWfqoWN18PbL2aZFkZOtKtp327d2blcof_JnKk7pvO5mK_EfabrRbLCSw-6Rj31zZZ8LHbdKg00ImMQ7C-9u8_hoxvk3FGCCU0tsH3v3ge4hZ-ATfStXGyFCUrNKzS5f2V4Nj803tus/s1600/Galaxy1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz0OWfqoWN18PbL2aZFkZOtKtp327d2blcof_JnKk7pvO5mK_EfabrRbLCSw-6Rj31zZZ8LHbdKg00ImMQ7C-9u8_hoxvk3FGCCU0tsH3v3ge4hZ-ATfStXGyFCUrNKzS5f2V4Nj803tus/s200/Galaxy1.jpg" width="90" /></a></div>
<br />
First you'll paint your base coat (especially important when using dark colours, as they stain), and the black. You can also use a deep navy, like OPI 'Russian Navy' or something equally as "nighttime sky-y".<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipjGZ6LjCiCuAw7_NePizLr-FrNQOMsup5nwX9OpbXdjrknzoalqB2cGaSNTgk0JTwD1Shqd3c74VKepLFiHvB9e1RDdDWoUfrnZfUElQ9BIog0lqnHgF2BjfTA5wV5GWnq8gFaSS3Foy6/s1600/Galaxy2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipjGZ6LjCiCuAw7_NePizLr-FrNQOMsup5nwX9OpbXdjrknzoalqB2cGaSNTgk0JTwD1Shqd3c74VKepLFiHvB9e1RDdDWoUfrnZfUElQ9BIog0lqnHgF2BjfTA5wV5GWnq8gFaSS3Foy6/s200/Galaxy2.jpg" width="100" /></a></div>
<br />
Using the lightest of your colours, paint it onto a corner of your cosmetic sponge (like we did in the <a href="http://nananaisnails.blogspot.com.au/2012/12/laser-splotches.html" target="_blank">laser splotches</a> tute), and dab it onto the nail in any streaky sort of pattern.<br />
Make sure it's fairly wide, but not so wide that it covers the whole nail.<br />
Cut the green corner off of the sponge.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0FfpLtzpGxcQoe45UP3HI7wuFR8UWu9dG_tWFBH422UnKqB4S9tdJppPkRu7j-axK87oWlPPJDgoHFzyslGXHYrtBEGwoUnIhHWVK9NC-0Ked8vy8zHOo4KvP2-OIzJJelRy9eaCYeFHQ/s1600/Galaxy3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0FfpLtzpGxcQoe45UP3HI7wuFR8UWu9dG_tWFBH422UnKqB4S9tdJppPkRu7j-axK87oWlPPJDgoHFzyslGXHYrtBEGwoUnIhHWVK9NC-0Ked8vy8zHOo4KvP2-OIzJJelRy9eaCYeFHQ/s200/Galaxy3.jpg" width="100" /></a></div>
<br />
Grab the light blue, and paint a small amount onto a clean corner of the sponge, and then dab it through the middle of the green.<br />
This is how we begin to create the depth of the galaxy.<br />
Cut off the blue corner of the sponge.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4yR7QA8-VQWeTmmYImgWpYhO242DazwYWQL27w3Xx4C3j2Z1HKA-1u51I9apSp3nMRhBAKVRhvShxeTgZUIW-wZpkGXtWq2POUihnVvX5pW4sQVAvvTRSCQxKHNXd_GkT8iQ_Ema00BnU/s1600/Galaxy4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4yR7QA8-VQWeTmmYImgWpYhO242DazwYWQL27w3Xx4C3j2Z1HKA-1u51I9apSp3nMRhBAKVRhvShxeTgZUIW-wZpkGXtWq2POUihnVvX5pW4sQVAvvTRSCQxKHNXd_GkT8iQ_Ema00BnU/s200/Galaxy4.jpg" width="100" /></a></div>
<br />
Using the purple, paint a very small amount on the sponge, and use it to blend and merge the edges of the brighter colours into the dark.<br />
<br />
Do the same with the navy, but on a lesser scale. You don't want the navy to stand out, we use it here purely to blend the sharper edges of the lighter colours into the dark background.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9k6S21uE0aZdSLqvykC28J5beswWC2C6ULyX1FFdwT9ExQejlFJYCAcVIvUThAGHZdPB9MnbFvF80Fqqg3ta1b0LoC-Q5X3kB7JaP14mjK7C743zJdchK6ji2J0tnXsXMeQCt4_va_0-B/s1600/Galaxy5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9k6S21uE0aZdSLqvykC28J5beswWC2C6ULyX1FFdwT9ExQejlFJYCAcVIvUThAGHZdPB9MnbFvF80Fqqg3ta1b0LoC-Q5X3kB7JaP14mjK7C743zJdchK6ji2J0tnXsXMeQCt4_va_0-B/s200/Galaxy5.jpg" width="99" /></a></div>
<br />
Take the white polish and your toothpick/tiny dotting tool, and place some random small dots around the nail.<br />
These make up some of the stars. You can place them wherever you like, just try not to go overboard.<br />
I like to put a bit of size variation - mostly really small, with a couple larger. It adds a sense of distance.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZyAi9DLqAd-rLHJFfRltqddDgr96ddzjscYksqKOpBH_ncY__Eu6hNycKbWW_c0zZZ0YPgIHgBKRlWPyQXgbxtaEzlTYTH2xFH1sanZsnQOS_7Z13OWQJfkv4enc8TqUdOlGSJ9PDrUxt/s1600/Galaxy6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZyAi9DLqAd-rLHJFfRltqddDgr96ddzjscYksqKOpBH_ncY__Eu6hNycKbWW_c0zZZ0YPgIHgBKRlWPyQXgbxtaEzlTYTH2xFH1sanZsnQOS_7Z13OWQJfkv4enc8TqUdOlGSJ9PDrUxt/s200/Galaxy6.jpg" width="98" /></a></div>

Using the fine glitter polish, paint a light coat over the whole nail. This adds another element of starlight. Try not to get any of the larger glitters on the nail, and keep it just as the micro glitters.<br />
A polish like China Glaze's <a href="http://www.google.com/imgres?q=China+glaze+Nova+swatch&hl=en&safe=off&client=safari&tbo=d&rls=en&biw=1231&bih=710&tbm=isch&tbnid=vxS-nh014wX-uM:&imgrefurl=http://www.scrangie.com/2009/10/few-more-of-china-glaze-glitters.html&docid=jGmy1bQ7nbYWMM&imgurl=https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQor2VdEaZ3ON6PHgH2hfzH15GCQMyVEGX2qzfz-y5T3L43jUfNqJNrrCDwU0bbLmT9LUoAnMaWlW-I20DWPjnT5qkkJu8-gQZNwPjvwYsJQKbvcMFjeIKjkrtF1CuqaiWyUV_dbg2iI0/s400/nova.jpg&w=400&h=288&ei=b3TiUKGXA9DPmAWii4CoAg&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=4&vpy=127&dur=4063&hovh=190&hovw=265&tx=139&ty=115&sig=111411306228845119531&page=1&tbnh=136&tbnw=198&start=0&ndsp=26&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0,i:87" target="_blank">Nova</a> or <a href="http://www.google.com/imgres?q=China+glaze+fairy+dust+swatch&hl=en&safe=off&client=safari&tbo=d&rls=en&biw=1231&bih=710&tbm=isch&tbnid=mJ70NfMoTuXQZM:&imgrefurl=http://www.scrangie.com/2010/04/more-random-swatches-china-glaze.html&docid=3sKCGUwA4YfwXM&imgurl=https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZsAtoJ-v-g-yBLiUq2xxnLPj_A7rQk1gZh3cqcm6jJZNLlhEUV-yFy0FlLefczAO_2S6rVtoiyiuXQKXr4BiRovlwiIYgAJ3t-UlgwFInDPQjLILoI7QcnYagOXGMn-3icU3COWc0aJg/s1600/fairydust.jpg&w=838&h=603&ei=53TiUIW-OuzOmAXH_4HAAw&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=4&vpy=127&dur=6473&hovh=190&hovw=265&tx=169&ty=105&sig=111411306228845119531&page=1&tbnh=136&tbnw=193&start=0&ndsp=24&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0,i:87" target="_blank">Fairy Dust</a> would be perfect here.<br />
<br />
At this point, you can place some of the larger glitters on the nail for extra starriness.<br />

Top coat your design to blend the colours together in a beautiful array of spacey goodness, and you're good to go!<br />

Today I have for you some galaxy nails on Nicole's hand.</div>

My version of galaxy nails is a bit darker, more nebula than milky way.</div>
