Ok so in the past I have talked about doing my own nails, and I have. I first experienced with the less expensive products, which I failed at, you can tell if you look back at my blog, and view the pictures of the train wreck. So I put off doing them and instead stocked up on supplies. I even got vegan nail polish to see how they were as I had never tried them before. You can see this review of the top vegan nail polish: https://thegreenforks.com/best-vegan-nail-polish/ if you want to know more about it. Now that I have done that I wanted to give it another go, which I did on my own nails since I had such a hard time getting the tip to adhere to the fake plastic finger *sigh* so aggravating that was. So I finally did it, did my own nails with a more expensive product but I was pleased with the results, I have to say that it was not easy Continue Reading
April Showers In June? Come On, Really?
You know I love April, and May, and I can deal with the showers that come with those months, but June and it's raining? Why? The world is going to end soon I'm telling you!! Or this year the weather is just out of wack! Maybe both lol. I had plans to go out this weekend, but they have been cancelled with the way the weather is, so I put myself to use in the house and rearranged the room, moved this out and this in, that type of deal. I'm happy with it, I still have a few things that need to find a new home. And they shall! Last night I worked on practicing the 'nail' thing, and I'm getting there, it wasn't on my own finger. I figured out a way to make that silly tip stick to the artificial finger, it was being so stubborn. And I hate wasting stuff like glue :P Right so, one of the ladies on YouTube, said to try the actual acrylic to Continue Reading
If At First You Don’t Succeed … Well You Know The Rest!?
I have mentioned in the past that I am teaching myself to do nails, and even though it looks easy on video, it really isn't. First is gluing the tip on to the nail, you can leave air pockets, and then that can cause some kind of infection, so you have to be careful with that, then getting down the amount of acrylic liquid and acrylic powder turned out to be difficult for me last night. I had initially wanted and still do, to practice on these plastic fingers that you can buy, it's much better than doing it on your self, and if something goes wrong, having to soak your fingers in pure acetone to remove the nail, just to turn around and try again. Sounds reasonable doesn't it? Ok so that was my first nail I did. I was very disappointed, I started to think why did this happen? Was it the powder? the acrylic? Or maybe it was how much I Continue Reading
Now We’re Talking Weather!
OH EM GEE, the heat is really on now. It's cooking out there lol. Thank goodness we went out early today, to do some shopping. I had a few things I was looking for, and I did manage to find them, although some I didn't or I forgot one or two other things. I try to keep a list of what I am looking for, makes it so much easier than running around the store, and back tracking to find stuff. That is what causes exhaustion, at least it does for my lazy bum hehe. That's it there, among a few other things I picked up. I'm pretty content with what I got, plus I got some packages in the mail today as well, that made me happy! Things I have long been waiting for, but it finally arrives. I think it's a great idea to buy nail related items from ebay, when I first started going on YouTube to search about nail related stuff, I found a lot of people Continue Reading
Yay I Won a #Giveaway On #YouTube via The Lovely @MarkistasMakeUpBag
Yes you got it right, YouTubers do giveaways too, isn't that so cool. I entered a few blog giveaways, but I suddenly got into youtube, probably because I started to research things about nails there, and encountered quite a few awesome youtubers, so that is something I am thinking of doing myself, not really on a large scale, but mainly to share what I got, where I got it, and if I keep track how much things cost, also I would share things I do with nail designs, when I do them hehe, and things like that. I think it's a great way to meet new people, and you can actually see they exist, opposed to blogs where you just read or view photos, not saying that they don't exist because they do hehe. I'm just saying youtubing seems more personal in my opinion. Anyway about a week or two ago, MarkitasMakeUpBag had a giveaway, I entered and won. Continue Reading
