Perlish Nails

This is simple and beautiful stamping design that i made using latest color club polishes. base color is "Ghost of Chance" and for stamping i used adorable "Wild at Heart" - wish looks just beautiful. I decorated this design using rhinestones from Art Club Boudoir "Black and White" collection. I will review this wonderful box of treasures soon,with more designs. The rhinestones are amazing, i am not sure i was able to capture it on camera - but the middle of rhinestones is made of mirror - and the effect it delivers is just amazing, especially on bright sun. rhinestones comes in different sizes and colors which makes design opportunities just endless. Stay tuned for full review of Black and White collection from art club, which is coming soon...

Nail Design

Nail DesignThe beauty industry presents a huge selection of materials and ways of nail design. The result depends only on specialist's imagination and proficiency. Nail art is reminding a separate art direction. Long nails give an opportunity to illustrate not only traditional patterns but the whole thematic pictures and miniatures. So nobody dares say that this is not an art piece.Nail Art

Tips for Beautiful Nails

Tips for Beautiful NailsThe beauty of nails is very important for your lovely hand and legs. To prevent your nails from any type of infection, keep your nails clean and dry. If your toenails are hard to cut and thick, soak them in warm salt water. Do this for about 5 to 10 minutes. Your nails should be easier to trim after soaking. The very common habit found in girl nails cause they bite her

Charm Bracelet Diva's Go-to Website of the Day

If you're a novice charm bracelet-making diva like me, I'm sure you can't  help but be somewhat overwhelmed by the results of a simple Google search: Jewelry making.  The results are astounding. Where to begin?  I'm hoping to lead you to some good sites that fit your jewelry-making needs.  To do this I need to scour the net and report back.  By the same token, you, my readers, need to read what I've written, make your own decision, and comment!

Today I'd like to introduce you to http://www.fusionbeads.com/.  First off, they have FREE SHIPPING!  Something I absolutely look for in a jewelry-making supply company.  They also have a nice inventory of beading reference information as well as more than 100 "beading techniques."  I use the term "beading" loosely again here because their techniques run the gamut from working with wire to knotting, coiling, twisting, stamping, bead weaving and more.  They also just scored a new style of beads, charms and pendants from Earthenwood Studios -- check it out if you're into Steampunk!  I know I will.

Question of the day, and it's a loaded one:  What should someone charge for their handmade piece of jewelry online (not including shipping, of course)?  I saw someone from a jewelry website say that you should double the cost of materials and then add in labor costs, deciding how much per hour you believe your work is worth.  When I do this, the price seems really disproportionate to the actual cost.  Let me know what you think and if you have any guidelines to live by in this instance.  I sure could use some advice.

 

Color Club - "Wild at Heart"

I decided to first make a swatches of the fall collection presented by color club - "Wild at heart". Those color are so wild and super beautiful, that i can't resist not to try them all on first. Each of polishes is unique in its own way, and a s a design expert - they all are perfect for nail designs both - as a base color and as a design color too, and i am sure that you ll be super pleased with the nail-art work that i ll make with Color Clubs. But first lets take a look at those beauties.

"Wild and Willing" - is a light natural beige with holographic sparkle . I am personally not a fan of beige's - but this one is definitely one of the most pleasant beige that i have seen. Will amke a perfect base color for designs. 2 coats pictures

"Love'em - Leave'em" - Holographic Goldie - sparkle and very very eye catching. This color is absolutely amazing. i would say that it is more like rose gold color. 3 coats pictures.

"Rule Breaker" - This is super intense holo sparkle purple - a pure energy on you nails. Works very good for stamping and as a base color. The holographic sparkle differ significantly from anything i have ever seen. It does not require special light to actually see the beauty of holo, in contrast - it sparkle in any light - and this makes me just fall in love with the fall collection from Color Club

"Wild at Heart" - pearly Grey, with the touch of rainy sky. Super adorable, and also works very well for stamping. Dark grays is another big trend this fall, and this polish is a must have. 2 coats


"With Abandon" - you can not abandon this irresistible emerald Perl cream. Dark greens is a nice trend this fall - but this shade is very special and perl finish makes it look just magnificent.
This may be my favorite shade from all the collection. But it is really hard to say, because i love all the colors. 2 coats

"On the Wild Side" - this color drives me seriously wild - it is black with the gold includes in it - looks very rich and special. Not that many polishes on the market can deliver this special effect.However would be nice if color was more intense - it took me 4 coats to get the look on the pictures


In conclusion, i would say that "Wild at Heart" - is a collection of super trendy and special shades that complimented with the outstanding quality of Color club professional lacquers. Easy to control formula - make application of those polishes just a piece of cake. And i am personally in love with all the collection - all shades are super beautiful.

Vacation Mani 2

As i promised here is the second Mani i made when i was on vacations - this one also lived a day :) But what day... oh that was a good day spent snorkeling and drinking "sex on the beach" all day long. By the way, i had troubles remember the word "snorkeling" - so i just called it "crocodiling" :)


This is my sweet Marshal - he is growing and he is such a beautiful and cool cat!!! I nether had a cat like this - all my previous cats were evel and didnt like to be petted. So far marshal is very social - he likes to be arround people all the time, and he is a "lap-cat" - because he really likes to seat and sleep on laps and hands and to be carryed arround. And hes nick name so far is "Orange Chicken" - because this is my favorite thing from Panda lol and because he is super orange.

YEE HAW!

These are country nails! I put little fimo clay horseshoes, cowboy boots and horses on them. I added brown glitter acrylic on the tip and finished with polished white dots around the smile line. Now all they need is some wranglers, cowboy boots, and a cowboy hat! Yee haw!

Shiny Pennies

So you must know, once I saw the new Zoya colors for fall, I just *had* to order several of them. This week's manicure features the new Zoya "Penny", which is one of the coolest copper colors I've ever laid eyes on. I took this photo outside, and it's really pretty accurate to the true color of the polish.Of course, not being one to just leave well enough alone, I had to add some iridescent

Nails on Twitter

Don't panic! I'll have my weekly nail art post up this afternoon, plus a bonus pedicure post for Thursday this week, both featuring new Zoya fall colors. In the meantime though, a few administrative things:1. Thanks to all my great followers for following my blog! I've had a busy summer, and haven't had time to get around to all of your blogs yet, but I'm working on catching up with that now.

Vacation nails

This is the manicure that actually supposed to be my vacation manicure. Unfortunately it lived a day - by the evening of our first day, it started to come off with big chips and i had to remake it.
i did not used color lock system on this one. Next manicure i made - and used color locks system lived a day too, and all the other polishes with or without top coat or design lived only hours :(
So in fact i don't blame products, but climate! it is super wet where, and probably this is how my nails reacts to the humidity - the polish just comes of in a matter of hours - no matter what i use. I gave up after couple manicures and just cut my nails short and used simple Zoya french polish - one coat, which i had to renew every now and then since it was chipping too, but worked best of all other polishes i tried. So this is a tropical reality - it delivers the fun, but sacrifices manicures.
However i used color lock system for pedicure, but with other then Zoya brand - and i would say it did B+ ,because i did not have to remake my pedicure everyday. In fact it almost made it, started chipping really bad only last day.

Pictures from vactions

Finally!!! I know i know, that i should have posted it long time ago, it just gets so buisy here.
So here are some pictures from our wonderful vacations. We spent 7 nights and 8 days on the Cozumel island. I was a bit worried about the weather, since summer is a low season in Mexico, and it suppose to be too hot, but in fact - the weather was super nice for me - hot and wet, and since it is an island - a lot of breeze which make it feel very comfortable.
We had couple rain showers, but all in night, and it was even interesting to hear and see night tropical storm. The beach in our hotel was just amazing!!! Fishes and corals right where - so i spent a lot of time snorkeling. We had plans to go on tour around island and some others, but in fact was just so lazy, and preferred to just relax on the beach. The only tour we had - is that we went to the main land to visit Chichen Itza - and even though spent where all day - no regrets about it - it was a great tour and we enjoyed a lot. The only bad thing about those vactions is that it is over :) Can not wait till we go on the beach vacations again - all i need in my life is a sea, a sand, a sun, and a palm tree :)
So here are some pictures from those awesome 8 days in Mexico
