using some candy inspired shades topped with black and white splatter.

YouTube Collaboration

As much as I love YouTube,
let's face it, there are some negative aspects for
anyone who regularly uploads videos.


"You talk too much"

"You sound so stupid"

"Your sloppy"
 
"You stole my design!"

"You suck" 

" Wow your makeup is bad"

"Your design looks just like "so-in-so's" design, you copied from her!"

...and the list could go on for hours.


So much negativity from people that probably never uploaded 
a video in their life.No one takes the time to 
appreciate all the time and effort that person has made
to make that video, for no other reason other than
its just something they have a passion for.
Ah, but I digress.

Robin Moses and ProfessionalDQ decided to
embrace the positive, by taking a stand together,
and celebrate the amazing and diverse talent in the
art community on YouTube by doing a massive Holiday collaboration.

Anyone in the YT art community, whether you are a painter,
or do makeup or nail videos, to all join together and support
each other in a positive way by making a
"Let It Snow" themed video, share it on YT, and then 
attach it to any other " Let It Snow" collab video.

Such an amazing idea, especially at this time of year,
when we have one too many Grinch's on our hands.

Anyway, here is my design from the
Let It Snow collaboration.



Today, December 5th,
anyone who would like to participate in
this massive collaboration of
friendship and comradery,
just has to create a design, upload a video for it,
and attach it to any other "Let It Snow" collaboration video
or simply show your support to
Robin, ProfessionalDQ, myself, and the countless others
in this amazing collab, by watching the videos, giving a
"thumbs up" and a positive comment

Happy Holidays!

Glittery Peacock

Here's a design from all things, 
a Christmas ornament. 
I found these peacock ornaments in Walmart
the other week and I absolutely fell in love with them!!
The moment I grabbed them, I just knew I had to
make it into a nail design

PRODUCTS USED:

Sally Hansen Extreme Wear in - Going Green

On a side note,
as time goes by, 
I am having more and more difficulty
struggling to make a decent design
with my carpal tunnel syndrome.

I refuse to give up my love for nail art. 
Surgery is not an option for me at this time.
I already have braces, but they only do so much. 
If anyone else is struggling with 
similar issues and you have an ointment or technique that 
works for you, please share it with me as I'm 
becoming increasingly frustrated with my mangled hands!

Cool Zebra

Hi Everyone! 
I hope everyone is having a wonderful Summer so far!
Things have been a little slow on my blog, and I do apologize for that!
As my kids get older, every Summer, every holiday, it seems to 
be increasingly more difficult to find time and reign them in...
and I haven't even reached the teens yet!
YIKES!

But I do have a new design today, and I've also got some
hauls and swap posts coming up as well.

So today, I've got a blue turquoise gradient zebra print. 
I don't know why, but I always associate animal prints 
with Summer, I guess it is just the boldness and the fun of them.
I always like using unusual color combinations with my prints too
to keep it even more interesting.
I've had several people comment that this feels more aquatic, 
and reminds them of drifting seaweed....that works too!
This design was inspired by so many others I've seen, I just had to 
try it out and make it my own. 
I hope you like it!


The products I used were:

NYX Girls Polish in -Maven
Kleancolor in - Pastel Teal
Ruby Kisses in - Teal Envy
Kleancolor in - Neon Aqua
L.A. Colors Art Deco in - Black
Cosmetic Sponge
Aqua Doughnut Sequins
Black Rhinestones 2mm
Pearls 1mm
Hexagon Black Holo Glitter
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri top coat
