Challenge 21 - Inspired by the Supernatural!

Hey!


Again, another quick-ish mani. I really need to find somewhere with some decent light though. The photos do not do this any justice at all. Sad face.

ALIENSSSS!

Dun, dun, dunnnnnnnnnnn!

Bit messy & shiz, but I will catch up!

It all started with The Big Bang... BANG!

Hi Girls!

So, I've been watching a lot of The Big Bang Theory recently. I think this is maybe my third time starting from the first episode again. I absolutely love it, & I totally feel like a genius after watching an episode. I can now explain Shrodingers Cat to anyone I meet.

I love Galaxy nails. They're so pretty, & as I've said before, as long as you've got a sponge handy & a small collection of colours, anyone can do this manicure. The 99p shop do a huge bag of make-up sponges which I cut up & they last forever.

I actually did two designs tonight.

The first I went for a more Blue and Purple theme. I wasn't too chuffed with them, though looking at the image now, I quite like the middle finger. My dotting tool wasn't in reaching distance, so being lazy, I just used cocktail sticks. 50p for 200 in Wilkinsons you can't go wrong. Before I got my brush set for Christmas I relied on them, & I still like having them in my nail area as they're so versatile.

It was still quite early, so I took these off & did my second design:

I went for an Orange & yellow theme this time, & I probably put a little bit more effort into these to make them neater. I really need to use a decent camera for my photos, as my phone does not do well in  low light. I think these look much more beautiful in person.

For both of these manicures, I used Sally Hanson - Navy Baby as my base colour. I would list the other polishes I use, but I have about twenty scattering my nail area right now, & I don't know which ones made the final cut or not.

I really need to tidy up the whole area. I'm planning on doing a blog post about my little spot in the living room. I've got the perfect girly set up, I adore it. I just don't keep it as organised as I'd like.

For a while, my photos will not be including my thumb. When I first started doing the extensions, I didn't put the thumb one on straight, underestimating the strength of the glue, I just pulled it off, splitting the nail. I redid it, but I knocked it the other day & it came off. My poor thumb is in a poor state, so I'm giving it time to heal.

I'm looking forward to this weekends challenge too. I have a couple of ideas I want to try & Megans nails will once again feature.

Catch you Laters,

Galaxy Drip

Check me out doing another post.

Like lots of people, I've fallen in love with Galaxy nails, especially the Galaxy drip effect. It's so prettyyyy.
I thought I'd give it a go. I didn't really know where to start though, so Google became my friend. There are so many different ways people seem to do it, so I sort of winged it.

I've  been feeling a little under the weather, so I set aside a couple of hours this afternoon to have a play, this is what I ended up with:

For a first attempt I don't think it's too bad. I'm still learning how to use all my new toys, so I'm sure if I try it out in a few months it will be so much better. That's the plan anyway.

Galaxy nails are always fun. I tend to make a bit of a mess, & have bits of sponge lying about, but I find it so much easier than Gradient. With Galaxy, I don't think you can go wrong as such (Totally ignoring my forefinger haha)

If you have a go at this, put me to shame and post your own photos.

Catch you laters.
