Sparkly Gradient Nails

Hi all!

Here is a sparkly gradient that I did on my nails recently.  I painted a couple layers of OPI Mermaid's Tears and took a makeup sponge and dabbed on Sephora by OPI Spark-tacular! When I was dabbing on the sparkles, I concentrated most of it on the tips of my nails so that it would create a gradient effect.
Enjoy!

Coasters

Hi Everyone!

I was recently looking through pinterest and a few craft blogs for a good simple craft when I stumbled upon this.  It's a really fun and easy way to make coasters with only two supplies.

So let's get started...









I got these paint pens from Michael's in both blue and silver in case I wanted to try different colors.  Unfortunately, the silver paint pen ended up looking very translucent on the cork.





I found these cork coasters from my local craft store, Beverly's.  I didn't look to see if Michael's had these but I'm sure that you could find them in most craft stores.  They also had square coasters if you like that shape better.

I just got creative with my designs and had fun with it! So there you go! Simple and waterproof coasters!


Thanks for stopping by!

Dolphin Sunset

Hey All!

I follow a nail artist on YouTube and she posts great nail inspirations all the time.  One of her most recent ones was this cool video.  I tried to copy it and here are the results...Not quite as neat as hers but I was still pretty impressed with myself haha.  By the way, the big black blobs on my ring finger is supposed to be a dolphin!



Thanks and I'll see you next time!

Graduation!

Hey Everybody!

I hope you're all doing well during this month of June! I graduated this past weekend and I can't tell you how much all your love and support means to me.

At my school, there is a tradition to decorate your graduation cap. I'm not sure if this technically qualifies as a craft but there was puffy paint involved so I think I can count it as a craft for this week.


Thanks for stopping by!

Watermelons

Hey everyone!

Can you believe that summer is almost here?! I'm getting so excited to enjoy all of my favorite summer activities soon! One of the things I like to do during the summer is slice up a big juicy watermelon and eat it by the pool! Unfortunately, I don't have a pool and I haven't been to the grocery store in a while to get a watermelon...but I do have nail polish!  For this watermelon nail design, I used OPI Come to Poppy, Sally Hansen Teal, and a black nail striper.



See you next time!
