Angry Birds Space

 

So...Tigers Be Still was hilarious and I definitely recommend it for people to go see at Playhouse in the Park.  So...since I went to the play...I didn't have a lot of time for my nails, and we all know when you rush...you have mistakes!

But...the galaxy portions turned out gorgeous, just ignore the dry skin...I hadn't put on my cuticle oil yet.

I must give tribute to the Youtube video by CutePolish that I used for the galaxies!!!

Check out her video tutorial: cutepolish Youtube Tutorial for Galaxy Nails

I started with OPI Black Onyx on all the nails...then I used a cosmetic sponge...to sponge on OPI Russian Navy, OPI Blue My Mind, OPI Sahara Sapphire...these all gave a blue tint.. Then I sponged on Spoiled's Deeper Dive...for some teal sparkle...then China Glaze Ultimate Holiday for the gold.  Then I finished each nail off with China Glaze Fairy Dust....I think they came out gorgeous.

So...I picked the ring nail...on my right hand...to try to paint on the angry bird...FAIL...I didn't wait long enough for it to dry...because I was rushing...so I took the galaxy mess off that nail.  Then I just painted it white...and tried to do the Angry Bird (Yellow Bird) on it.  Score...great job...but then wait for it. EPIC FAIL...I didn't wait long enough for it to dry...and smudged it up with my top coat.

So...slow it down...once in a while...that's my new motto.  But the galaxies are awesome...and the bird was cute...and if you don't do a close up of it...Yellow bird is pretty cute!

Stay tuned...Hunger Games design tonight...going to probably attempt the flames drag technique with a pin!!!

A-England Avalon with Fairy Dust

 

Well...I did all kinds of chores last night around the house. My mother in law will be up for her grandson's birthday(my husband's nephew) so I needed to wash some bedding and clean up around the joint. You know...prep for the descension of the mother in law and her white glove. Just kidding...in my house...it wouldn't be white for long! 

So...I originally was going to do some stamping...and I did white french tips first...with Rimmel Pro Line in white...and FingerPaints Natural Talent...but none of the Konad black special polish was going well...

Since it was getting late...I went ahead and threw on this gorgeous A-England Avalon...which I had yet to try.

Boy is it gorgeous...then to make it a little fun...I put on China Glaze Fairy Dust.  Look at that sparkle...from the holo flecks!!!

So...in between laundry loads and cleaning the toilets...I also swatched my new China Glaze Hunger Games polishes and some other China Glaze colors...here is my swatching!!!

 

They are definitely the coolest colors...expect more swatching in the near future...as I try to get a handle on all the polish colors that I own!!!
