Hi Everyone!!! Happy Saturday!!! It's a chilly day here but expected to get warmer. Today is the fundraiser walk for The Friendship House which is a club house for those with mental illness. Every day the members get a great hot lunch and they can come and hang out day and share fellowship, use the computers, listen to music, do crafts, and learn skills to help them look for a job. They all pitch in and help with chores and the cooking and cleaning. After the walk we're having a cookout of brats and hotdogs! I am definitely in for some brats that's for sure!!
I didn't have a lot of time to put together a leopard mani for today since I was out late again last night doing mani's and pedi's toward the camera fund raiser BUT the good news is I'm halfway to my goal of $200!! I think by the middle of next month I'll be the owner of a new camera!
I hauled out my Nabi Wine magnetic and then just stamped an accent nail
I love magnetic polishes! They are the easiest nail art around!!
I have a lot of trouble not staring at my hands all day when I have a magnetic on!
So we're almost at the end of the journey! I can't believe it!! I sure had a lot of fun doing this. I'll have to think of another week long same image thing to do--maybe week long zebra??
Here's where we're at so far
Tomorrow's the last day!!! Hope I can pull off something great!
Hi Everyone! I have a super quick and easy mani for you today. There was a girl at work who had never heard of magnetic nail polish before. I was shocked! You know me and magnetic polishes! All 20 or so of them! I brought a few into work to show her how they work. She was really amazed. She could believe how easy nail art can actually be, especially when you're using a magnetic polish!
I bought the latest China Glaze magnet on clearance last month so I played around with it
I still love my Nabi magnetics best even if they smell the worst!
I love magnetics but having really curved nails they don't always love me
I tried to redo the tip of my pinkie and it just turned out wonky lol!
But that's not as bad and the tri split I attempted on thumbie!
OMG what is this?? Mutant magnetic?
Blue is a bizatch to clean up but a blue magnetic is even worse! I had to do dishes twice to get this all the way off my skin lol!
I'm still loving magnetic polish--how about all of you?
Hi Everyone! Here I am still hanging in there working ungodly hours. The group of gals I work with is great though and even though we are all super busy we are having fun!
I decided to pull out some of my magnetics so I could have some nail art without really doing nail art! Crackle and Magnetics are great for this! I think we all know by now I'm addicted to magnetics and crackle--and foils lol!
This is a Nabi I have simply called Dark Purple. I love how the magnet pulls in dark lines as well as the light ones for this color
I'm not a huge fan of the star design because it's hard for me to center it AND I appear to be anal because if they aren't all in the same spot on my nail it bugs me LOL!
I had some issues with my thumb. When you have super curved nails sometimes the magnets don't wrap around. Still this is a zillion times better than just purple on my finger nails!
I know not everyone loves magnetics but really how can you not love something this cool????!!!!
Thanks for stopping by!! I hope you all have a fantastic day!
Hi Everyone! Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend. I got to spend some time with my cousins on Saturday and on Sunday I made a kick butt sweet and spicy chili and some of my famous cornbread! Okay my cornbread isn't that famous but it should be because it's darn good lol!! I've been looking at my stash lately rather disgusted with myself that I have so many untrieds! Here I am wanting more and more polish and I haven't even worn 3/4 of the stuff I do have! Therefore I've decided to get those untrieds out and start using them!
I was quite enamored of the Nabi magnetics awhile back and got quite a few of them. I haven't worn them though! So today I yanked one out--I thought it was black but turns out this is a deep green.
I decided to try my hand at stamping over it with Kleancolor Jazz Olive and my DRK-A plate--I'm loving this DRK-A design lol!
Kind of funky!
I wonder if this would have turned out more dramatic with a flat metallic for the stamping? I might try this again and see how it looks.
Thanks for stopping by!!! Have a great day!
Hi Readers! Day 12 in the 31 Day Challenge challenged me! Today's theme is stripes. I wanted to do something spectacular but was really struggling. Then I sort of ran of time and tried to do a magnetic gradient and it was a huge fail. Then I just remembered how pretty this purple Nabi magnetic polish is so I decided just to keep it simple!
Stripes! Instantly with nothing more than a magnet! Woot!
But then I decided to add an accent nail
And YES! You CAN have just one stamped nail lol!
This is just really pretty and the magnetic polishes are instant nail art! I had forgotten all about these until I realized I just didn't have the time to do a striping tape mani lol!
Let's see what's up tomorrow
Ooooh Animal Print! I can't wait for that one!
Thanks for stopping by!! I hope you all have a fantastic day!
Hi Readers! I had plans to do a completely different mani for today BUT a couple of my coworkers had never heard of magnetic nail polish! GASP! They didn't understand the concept of it or how it worked even! So instead of the lovely coral and forest green mani I planned on I decided, instead, to haul out a few of my magnetics and do a simple gradient. I love making magnetic gradients. In case you don't know how to achieve it, after you sponge on your gradient put on a coat of clear and then use your magnet! The clear "rewets" the polish so you can force the magnetic particles into action. This one is just a simple one of coppers and a brown.
What I love most about magnetic polish is you can instant nail art!
What I don't love most about this pic is how weird my pinkie looks lol!
It's almost like he's late to join in the pic!!!
I used 2 of my Nabi's for this and a Finger Paints I got on clearance. LOVE how sparkly it is!
For this gradient I used Nabi Cappuccino and Candid and Finger Paints Cop An Attitude. Here's a picture of them
I can't wait to go to work tomorrow and show the girls the beauty of magnetic nail polish! AND easy night for me apply it, put a magnet to it and PRESTO nail art! Sometimes K.I.S.S. is best! Keep It Simple Stupid!!
Are any of you still wearing magnetic polish? Any of you not into it? I just love it!
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you all have a great weekend!
