Twinsie Tuesday: Color Blocking!

I'd like to preface this post by saying that I liked this mani WAY more before I looked at the pictures on my computer... Yeah.

So, this week, our TT challenge is color blocking! I thought I'd do something simple for this, though it definitely could have turned out better. I did a little funky french, freehanded. Tape doesn't work out with me very well haha. Anyway, I did a base of China Glaze Surfin for the Boys and did the tips with Nails Inc Baker Street. I adore orange and blue together! And I'm a big fan of the shimmer vs creme thing going on here.

Uneven tips...

I promise it looks better at an arms-length haha.

I seriously can't wait to see what colors my Twinsies have put together!

First Guest Post!

Hello all! Today's guest post comes from the wonderful Jenna from I'm Still Thinking :]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey everyone! I hope you are all doing well!

First, I want to say Thank You to Sarah for having me a as a guest poster. For those who don’t know me, I’m Jenna from I’m Still Thinking… I was so happy when Sarah asked for volunteers to guest post. I love helping out!

So when Sarah first asked for volunteers I really wracked my brain trying to think of the perfect mani. I never did come up with an idea. I had about a million camp related ideas, but never got around to trying them. :O/

I had been wanting to try this mani for a while and after I did it I knew I wanted to use it for this post. Sorry, I notice a couple tips look a bit ragged…I think there may have been a stray flakie or two O.o

I am not your standard french tip kinda girl. I am normally anti-french tip, lol. But from the moment I first laid eyes on Barielle Buddha-ful I knew it was meant for a french tip mani on me. It is a very sheer nude polish with green/blue flakies.

The gold was a last minute touch to cover up my shakey tip lines, but I really think it goes great with this mani.

I know this is a completely anti-camping mani, but it turned out so good I couldn’t resist using it for this post. I hope ya’ll enjoyed it. Hurry back Sarah…we miss you a lot <3

Thank you so much for your post, Jenna!! <3 I am LOVING that Barielle flakie!

Twinsie Tuesday: Funky French

Hi! That post title has a lot of alliteration, hahaha. Anyway, for this week's theme, we had to do a funky french. I generally don't do much nail art or jazz up my manis too much [they're usually a whole mess of glitter, anyway lol], but I really liked this funky french from Nails Stories, so I decided to give it a whirl. It definitely didn't turn out as gorgeous as Vanessa's but I liked the overall look:] I felt very retro!

I used 2 coats of Sally Hansen Crinoline for the base and Color Club Fast Woman for the dots and french tip:] It's not the neatest in the world, and it smeared a teeny bit, but I had fun wearing this out on Friday:]



Take a look at the other Funky Frenches my twinsies did!
