Another decal I made.

Another decal I made.  I saw these on a French blog and REALLY had to talk myself out of ordering them.  Yet another reason I wanted to be able to make my own stuffs.  🙂  Now I can have as many mustaches as I want!  😃😃😃

This is the first time I've used one of my water decals.

This is the first time I've used one of my water decals.  They are not the same as nails tattoos.  Actually, for me they were MUCH easier because you can move it around after you put it on, unlike with a tattoo.  With a tattoo, if you're off, you're just off - no adjusting those.  Btw, I think my nails look black in the photo, but they are just a REALLY dark green.  REALLY REALLY dark.  But the feather is also a very dark green so I thought it kind of worked together.  Just one bright nail this time.  🙂

I usually only watermarble an accent or two..

This is the first time I've bothered to take the time to do ALL of my fingers in a water marble.  The look is pretty neat, but it's easier to do it to someone else due to all of the clean-up and the messiness of the process.  I know the point of the water marble is to get some really cool, flowy effects, but I really like my thumb, pointer, and ring finger.  They just look kind of stripey... not very impressive, but, oh well.  😛

This hand definitely turned out a little more interesting.  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the thumb.  Couldn't re-create it to save my life.  😂  If you can't tell - the whole thing was pretty experimental which is the reason that none of my nails look very similar.  If you drop the polish in the same way and draw the same shapes in the polish then you can make them all look pretty much the same.  There are videos on YouTube that show you how to get certain shapes / looks; however, I didn't look them up right before I started so I just went with whatever I was doing.  Just playing around, I guess.  🙂

Got some claws on today!

Got some claws on today!  😂  They are not very spring... feeling like I want to change them already, but I might just have to wait.  At least they look neat!

My first attempt at gradient color.

My first attempt at gradient color. The ring finger DEFINITELY turned out the best. The others don't have such a great fade, but perhaps with practice! 🙂

No stamping on these guys...

No stamping on these guys - just tape and polish here. 😃 I wanted something bright and contrast-y so this is what I got! I don't know how well it shows on the photo, but the bright color is like, a neon coral. At a glance, though, these remind me of Tony the Tiger. 😃 You can do so much with tape - you don't even have to have any kits or anything: just imagination, tape, and scissors. I'm happy with how these turned out - just a little "oops" on the pointer finger where I smudged the black a bit. Oh well, onward! 😛
