Hi!<br />
I've been wanting to do paw prints for a while and my nails were growing pretty long so I decided to do a french tip with cute little paw prints and glitter for a bright fun design. This is perfect for parties, animal lovers and kids.<br />

It stems from the fact that I typically paint different tutorial designs on my hands so I can have more content to edit. Anyways my nails ended up one hand teal and one hand sea foam green and I had to walk out the door for flute. <br />
Good alternative to the good old every-other nail color. <br />

Evil Eye Nail Art Tutorial</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here's my newest video tutorial called Evil Eye Nail Art. It reminds me of Count Olaf's Tattoo</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
from Series of Unfortunate events. This design is really fun and easy to do, it doesn't need to be dainty or perfect, I like the edgy vibe of imperfect art. I hope that you like this design, and let me know what color irises you try out. I like purple and red or copper as well. You could also try to make it realistic with multi-colored irises and more delicate eyelashes.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
China Glaze Avant Garden Spring 2013</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I picked up three colors from the new Spring Collection from China Glaze at my local Ulta (they're buy two get one free this week, meaning that with the $3.50 off $10 coupon its cheaper than Sally's beauty!) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The first color I got is a shimmery white called Dany Lyin' Around..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlXOSJkxQAsil5QS_rPLVhGKFcn7Uh-AtiMZSnpGBe-Agpfx7le9LDV0sdAKMj0-oKYpFOSRhkkTJSPWtZ8fohXfiDpKhGIdF1rhvq40UNGhxctkns-SuhsP46HIS35N6SmvnUWpfcK0Zj/s1600/dandylyin.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlXOSJkxQAsil5QS_rPLVhGKFcn7Uh-AtiMZSnpGBe-Agpfx7le9LDV0sdAKMj0-oKYpFOSRhkkTJSPWtZ8fohXfiDpKhGIdF1rhvq40UNGhxctkns-SuhsP46HIS35N6SmvnUWpfcK0Zj/s640/dandylyin.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
I tried this on and was really impressed with the opaqueness. I've found that china glaze polishes with shimmer are typically not streaky. Most china glaze polishes are thin which could be a factor helping them not be streaky. I only needed two coats for perfect opaqueness which is nice with anything but this is a WHITE! So that's really impressive. I almost always apply one thin coat and then one rather thick coat so if you apply all thin coats you could probably use three.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgLY1ULpPXk4Ap8CyosRuJXQSBowGtYH5gipoCrbehA0r4lV666X2UJGZPBIkR7sPjrCKl6UJnQmc5tt2rhxiovGjYP-15UyRwCKIwziKfdgTmjZ9qdlZd-7FlNjh4cQuSRXabknR9hk97/s1600/snapdragon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="392" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgLY1ULpPXk4Ap8CyosRuJXQSBowGtYH5gipoCrbehA0r4lV666X2UJGZPBIkR7sPjrCKl6UJnQmc5tt2rhxiovGjYP-15UyRwCKIwziKfdgTmjZ9qdlZd-7FlNjh4cQuSRXabknR9hk97/s640/snapdragon.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
This is a lovely dark fucshia with super subtle blue shimmer. I started to swatch it and realized I have a polish that is extremely similar. So similar, in fact, that I am going to return this. It is nicely opaque in one medium-thick coat but I decided to not paint the rest of my nails since I am returning it. For the record the similar polish is Folly from Sinful Colors, it has no shimmer so I like the China Glaze color more, so if you do not already have a color like this I highly recommend it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyLrfIEJs1eibIO6mFA1UTAmygRHL2XuObV7SFTZUB_xvPMvW0EBx3jTWWh-uRF-pqS7v3YMLxKeuLywu55MlYq6xazUEDAaJLfj0qzOV5J5kklBLhQvbeEI46GTtMsxkoRbB7rX8gs8Kc/s1600/fancypants.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyLrfIEJs1eibIO6mFA1UTAmygRHL2XuObV7SFTZUB_xvPMvW0EBx3jTWWh-uRF-pqS7v3YMLxKeuLywu55MlYq6xazUEDAaJLfj0qzOV5J5kklBLhQvbeEI46GTtMsxkoRbB7rX8gs8Kc/s640/fancypants.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
Fancy Pants is a rich grape purple with pinkish shimmer. It's extremely thin and takes two/three coats to be even (More likely two). I noticed that it dried faster than Dandy Lyin' Around- possibly because there is less shimmer. You don't need to use very thick coats to get this to be even. With Dandy Lyin' Around, you have to use rather thick coats to avoid having to do too many of them.<br />
<br />
Overall: I found the collection to be a good combination of staples and unique colors; there are two halves, the pastels and the brights. I am not sure which color I will trade Snap My Dragon but I'll swatch it and post my review soon!<br />
<br />
SWATCH TIME! :)<br />
goshhhH! I'm sorry I totally forgot to clean up around the edges, yucky, I'll do better next time :)<br />

<li>Start by prepping your nails however you like, I'll have a video on my favorite polish removers, base coats, and files soon :) </li>
<li>Paint your base color, I chose a sky blue so that my non-bunny nails would look like a cloudy sky with grass. To see basically the same steps with different colors, check out this sunny day nail tutorial. To make it even simpler you could just use a dotting tool and do different pastel colored dots :) <iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/w0IVbR87U80?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></li>
<li>Choose your bunny nails and bunny polish color- I recommend just choosing 1 or two of your biggest nails whenever you do animals because you'll be focused on them and they'll look cuter as accents- IN MY OPINION, do whatever your heart fancies!</li>
<li>I used a dotting tool for a big circle-head, and oval-ears. Then I used the same shirt, nose and inner ear color on the tip of a sharpened pencil.</li>
<li>I used a tiny nail art brush for the whiskers, if you don't have one try a pin but a toothpick's probably too big.</li>
<ol>
<li> NOTE: The way I did my bunnies (with whiskers and a nose only) is just my personal painting style and also, frankly, easier. If you like you can take the time to include a mouth or eyes but if you're a n00b then leave them out because they're the easiest way to make a wonky looking animal. (I have an aptitude for accidental-cross eyes :P )</li>
</ol>
<li> Don't forget to clean around the edges, I love these precision tipped Q-tips from Target. </li>
<li>Top coat's also a really good idea ESPECIALLY if you've used acrylic paints! </li>

Thats the big thing that annoys me about pinterest. When I see a good picture I want the link to link me to the original content not tumblr or something! </span><br />

Finally a new tutorial! I'm back to weekly nail art videos, plus some bonus videos to kick of the dance comp season!<br />
<br />
Products featured in the video:<br />
OPI Play Til Midnight<br />
Orly Striping Polish in Silver<br />
<br />
This one is super simple and I love it because you don't have to worry about being perfect with the dots, some can be little nebulas or blobs or whatever!<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

The high-performance ink technology combines the best qualities of liquid and gel ink for a super-smooth writing experience. The Gel ink dries so fast even left-handed writers love it - no smears, no smudges and no globs. The barrel provides maximum comfort and control with a latex-free grip.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">If you're a lefty let me tell you; you need this pen! It writes amazingly smooth and pretty without getting so much ink out that it gets on your hand. It is not like those ballpoint pens that goo out sticky blobs of ink either, it glides smooth almost like a gel pen- but way better! The color is extremely vibrant it looks like a marker almost- without bleeding through your paper.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Hey There,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Today I am writing a quirky review on these really cool products I received from influenster.com!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I want to mention before I start that this product did not work out for me personally (I'll explain) but I am definitely buying a set for my cousin because I think they are great!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Application process: These fake are the easiest things ever to apply! You just peel off a little plastic thing and press it on your nail; no glue, no drying time! I had to press some of them a little harder than others if they weren't lining up to the curve of my nail. I love that there are SO many of the nails in one set. There's more than enough for two applications so you can wear them for a really long time simply replacing a few here and there! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">The look: I LOVED the shape of these, very classic and not extra long and ridiculous at all. I used the leopard print pattern and I think it looks really cool personally. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Wear: I'm just going to say it right off the bat, these did not last me a week. Some lasted through two showers and two sleeps but many did not. I'm not going to lie though, if it was getting loose I peeled it off. I didn't just let a floppy nail stay on my nail because I don't think that counts as it lasting. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Removal: The ones that do stay on your nails long enough that you want to purposefully remove them, its not hard at all. I recommend washing your hands with hot/warm water and soap to loosen them but but you don't even need to do that. Also, they don't damage your nails at all upon removal like regular acrylics.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Cons: I just have to say, I probably won't wear these again because my nails are just too big for them! None of them fit on my thumb nail and I used all "thumb nail" ones for the rest of my fingers pretty much. I think these are better for tweens say 10-14 or any adult who doesn't have big nails. This isn't really their fault because my nail beds are just really big, but I can't honestly say I will repurchase for myself.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Where to buy: These are at drugstores like CVS, Rite Aid, Duane Reade, Kmart, Walgreens, Walmart etc. They're only $5.99 for plain colors and $7.99 for patterns which is a great price for two applications! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Howdy,</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I don't know why but somehow when I type I tend to sound like a cowboy half the time.. I dunno y'all! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Anyhoo- I did these adorable City Skyline at Night nails and I put together a video tutorial for it so I hope you check it out! I have used the Sally Girl 94 cent polish in IQ as the base color and then just a toothpick and skewer with black silver and yellow paints for the designs. </span></span><br />
