Gettin' funky with magnets!

For the past couple of days I've been playing around with China Glaze's Magnetix collection and have had horrid results with the magnet. Finally, I had an idea that made me not hate the magnet so much - a Funky French! 2 in one month?? That's unheard of! But I'm pretty proud of this one. I still can't draw on even and straight lines to save my life. But it doesn't bother me very much.

What I did here is used Essie's Tennis Corset as a base, then layered 1 coat of American Apparel's Meteor Shower on top. Once that was all dry, I drew on the black tips and put China Glaze's Cling On over the black. Well, most of it anyway :p Then used the star design on it. Not very uniform, but I think it came out pretty nicely. What do you guys think?

Also, just in case you're wondering what it looked like with just the black tip, I took a few pictures of it. My hands were wet because I'd just washed my hands, so please excuse the water droplets and lack of moisture around my heinous cuticles.

Well, that's it from me for today! I've modified the magnet and am in the process of learning how to properly use it. It seems so easy, but there's definitely a learning curve, I think. Regardless, thanks for stopping by! I hope you're all doing well and having a wonderful day!

Funky French strikes again!

I felt like a funky french today. I don't really do them a lot, so this is kind of hard for me to get to look decent. Normally, in my head, everything looks a lot better. Lines are crisp and perfect and the colors look a lot better. Of course, translating that onto the nail is a lot harder. So my apologies for the wonky looking tips. But what I did here was use Illamasqua's Load as a base. I needed 3 coats to get rid of any streaks. Then I layered 1 coat of China Glaze's White Cap on top of load and matted them with Essie's Matte About You. Then I attempted to do some black tips. I free handed them, so...yeah. Sorry again about the tips. Other than that though, I think it looks pretty nice. So, today's nail - funky french.

Powder Puff with glitter tips Funky French!

This is actually one I did last week. But I didn't post it, so here it is for you to see :) It's just your basic funky french. I used Revlon's Matte Suede Powder Puff as the base color and then some glitter I got at Hobby Lobby for the tips. The end result? A glittery french tip on a matte base. I actually kinda liked it! But you decide for yourself if you like it or not. My kids were in agreeance that this looked too weird, like 'Mr. Freeze from Lego Batman' (those were their exact words!). LOL

Short video so you can see the glitter in action!

Well, that's about it from me for today, so thanks for stopping by! Hopefully you guys are having a great Monday and I'll see you again soon!
