Happy St. Patricks day!!!

Here is a little water marble tutorial I did! something festive and fun for the holiday!

The colors I used were Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in GOING GREEN, Zoya in GEMMA, Wet N'Wild SILVIVOR and SAGE IN THE CITY, and Ulta ENVY. Other supplies included a small cup of room temp. filtered water, 2-5 polishes of your choice, scotch tape, and an orange stick.

I started by painting a basecoat of SAGE IN THE CITY. Then with the usual cup of room temp. filtered water, I began making my bullseye using the first 4 colors, leaving ENVY for the last, and only drop of that color.

 After I made the bullseye, I used my orange stick to make a pattern in the cup and prepped my fingers using the scotch tape. First, I dipped in with my index, middle and ring finger. I cleared away the exess and created another bullseye, making a pattern, then dipping my pinky and thumb together.

Once I was finished marbling, I used a q-tip and a little paint brush with some acetone to clean up any polish off the skin. I topped it off with a coat of China Glaze's FAST DRY TOPCOAT.

There you have it! My St. Patrick's Day water marble look! Ihope you enjoyed it! Be safe, have fun, and enjoy the wonderful weather (for all you northeastern ohioans)!

I'm back! (update 3/12)

Hey everyone!

  Sorry for the vacation I have taken. Trust me, it wasnt intentional. My laptop decided to take a crash a couple of months ago and I have had no way to post:( So I'm sorry it has been so long! now I am back up and running and im so excited to be back!

  I will start off by telling you about my most recent adventure: My body makeover. Now, I have always been on the bigger side and I dont really mind that, but over the last few years, I have been careless with my body and my health, eating whatever I wanted because hey, I'm a grown up and I can do what I want, right? NO. So here I am, 40 lbs heavier than I wish to be unfortunatly. But I realized, I got myself into this mess and have to get myself out with a lot of hard work and self disipline. So far, so good! im already feeling a drastic difference in my health. I feel better, and I have more energy! its only been 2 weeks, but I have already lost 2 of the 15 lbs I am aming to lose before my birthday in may! I am so proud of myself! Let me know if you are interested in hearing about my diet and exersize routine, i would love to share! And if you have stories of your own, I would love to hear about it!

  Ok, I am so excited to start posting again! I have tons of nail designs to share with you and product reviews and new bits and bobs to share! hauls, reviews, and other fun stuff! So keep a lookout for some great stuff coming up!

  I hope everyone has had a good couple of months! Spring is here already and That means funky fun colors! St. patty's day is saturday, so im gonna work on a really fun holday inspired design that you can wear to the parade this year!

thanks for being so patient with me! <3 Kala
