NOTD: CC Groove Thang

Apologies, I usually try to take a pic of just the color pre-nail art but as I am a total spazz approximately 65% of the time I forget occasionally =)  Like apparently Sunday night, when I did this NOTD to wear Monday. 

Base color is Color Club Groove Thang, from the Dance to the Musique collection.  For the Konad I used image plate m57, and special polish in White & Psyche Pink.  This was my frist try using more than one color to stamp with ... I wasn't super thrilled with my results, but I got a lot of compliments so I think I'm maybe being too picky LOL:


Kind of cherry blossom-ish?  Not that I've ever seen a real cherry blossom in my life LOL, just kind of has that vibe to me for some reason.

Thanks for reading.

Guest NOTD: Blue & Grey Water Marble

One more post before bed - here is my mom's birthday mani =)  I used Misa Right Here Now, No More Later, and Misa Dying Love for this look, and followed the same marbling technique as in THIS Shades of Green tutorial.  Mom was a very good "client" since she's watched all my tutorials (Unlike Tee LOL!) and it was fun because normally she does her own nails, this was the first time I ever gave her a mani.  And it's  pure AWESOMENESS:


She picked the colors because she was inspired by the stark black tree branches in winter against the blue sky.  While we were out & about we passed this tree & she said "Yeah, just like that!" so I snapped a quick pic:


She's still got it on with no chips!  She is taking extra special care LOL, she's enjoying it so much =)  Thanks for reading.

Guest NOTD: Black & Red Water Marble

I'm sooo late posting this up, I have to apologize!  I did this for Tee last Thursday (we actually just changed it tonight) but I've just been so behind.  Colors used are both Maybelline, Onyx Rush & Berry Persistent (please excuse the half-assed clean-up LOL):


I used the same marbling technique as I show in THIS Shades of Purple Marble Tutorial.  Thanks for reading!

Taping Tutorial

I got a request for this, so here's just a quick tutorial of how to prep your nails with tape for water marbling:



Figured I better post it here too, for my followers who do not subscribe on YouTube =)  Thanks for watching.

NOTD: CC Worth The Risque

I don't know how it took me this long to wear this color, I know I've had it since at least summer if not last spring. I think I took enough pics that they can speak for themselves.  From the Femme Fatale collection, this is Color Club Worth the Risque:


Thanks for reading.
