The world is a marble...

I was just viewing the difference between Ombre, blended and Skittle nail art techniques.     REALLY?

Ombre- is actually several shades of a color in the same family- a different shade on each nail.
Blended- is using 2 or more shades and making the color seem to fade from one into the other.
Skittle nails- is using several shades of bright colors (like skittles the candy) painting each finger a different shade.

Now that we have had our lesson.....  I wanted to try the Ombre look- as I understood it-  but actually this came out more blended with several shades of purple.   I wasn't quite satisfied- so I added the marble technique to bring out the shades of purple-  It's funny how they look like they glow- and that's what reminded me of the earth rotating on its axis-  seems to look like a big glowing marble sometimes.

I guess that's just me.....   So using the awesome blendability of Color Club and Orly nail polishes-
I created the following ......      Thank you Stacey-





Pink a dink a doo!

Hey!
life has been hectic lately- and I almost didnt have time for nails...   OMG!   Its winter- so you know we dont care as much about the nail thing during those months like we do when its summer and everything has to bling!

Easter was coming and I needed a little something to perk me up!   So I did the "PINK" thing-  I used 5 different shades of pink polish from OPI to China Glaze.    But plain nail polish just will not do for this Bling-a-fied chick!   So behold-  here are my Pink a dink a doo nails...complete with some Essie glitter and a bit of
OPI shatter.     Hang in there - more fun and glam to come.
