a trio of cuties

Still doing mani's - just haven't been able to post daily :( Here are a few from a couple of weeks ago:

chevron 2.0

I have a new found respect for all of those water marbling artists out there...3 attempts tonight, and none were even close to being good enough to post! I was looking through Adventures in Acetone's blog and I saw this really great tutorial that she did; the colors and design are fabulous!
After hours of trying this out however, I decided to throw in the towel and do something a little easier :)
I do love the chevron design and I thought I could at least get this on my nails without too much trouble...

laser V2

Nailside is pretty much top dog when it comes to the laser mani. I tried it a few months ago but I found it really difficult to keep the tape even and the nail polish just wouldn't stay where it was supposed to.
I ordered some graphic chart tape last week so I decided to give it another go. What a difference!! This stuff is great; I got it in 1/8th in and 1/16th in. The tape sticks to the nail very well and its the exact same width every time. So much easier!

laser mani

Saw a tutorial for a laser mani done with tape on the blog Nailside and was super excited to try it. I have to say, this was probably the most time consuming mani I've done so far, much more difficult than it looked! Mine were nowhere near as neat as hers but I think it was a good first attempt.
