French Mani Fun - Leopard Print Acrylics!

Hello my lovelies! I'm sorry I've been so MIA lately, I needed to take a little blogging hiatus for awhile.
But I'm back now, and I have some fun posts coming up for you guys! :)

Today I have a French Mani Fun post!! :)

So I recently had to cut my natural nails back down to nubbins, (sad day!:( ) so I was playing around with my falsies the other night and came up with this little look!

I used Kiss Nails DIY Acrylics, then cut some Sally Hansen Salon Effects into shape and made a leopard print French Mani! OF COURSE  I did rainbow, you know how I do ;) LOL!

The finished product:


My Right Hand:

(P.S, sorry about the wonky little hand pose here. We all know how my my righty does not like to cooperate with me! :p)

I really loved how these came out, I think these are probably my favorite set of falsies I own now! 
I will for sure be breaking these babies out again! :)

My Weekend Project! :)

So this weekend, I started a little project. And that project is: getting my workspace organized!

The weekend before last, I put up my old desk to use as a workspace. This weekend, I hung up some shelves on my wall to organize my polish and supplies.

Obviously, it's not totally organized yet (as you can tell from the pictures LOL) but it's a whole lot better than having them all jumbled up in a big make-up box like I did.

I'll post pictures as the organization comes along, I have a few more ideas for making it all pretty and organized! :)

Flip/Flop February Day 5: 3D/Decals!

Helloooo! :) time for Flip/Flop February Day 5!

Today's Flip/Flop is 3D/Decals. I guess you could say I sort of did a mixture of both? What I did was make DIY decals out of 3D textured polish! :)

For idea of doing crackle hearts, i was actually inspired by this photo i saw on Pinterest: http://pinterest.com/pin/154881674657121258/
So credit to the artist for my inspiration! :)

I decided to combine the idea of crackle hearts and decals, so I made crackle heart shaped decals!! :D
If you're interested in how I make the DIY decals, I actually did a tutorial on for a guest post I did back in August of last year for Tall Girl With Pretty Painted Nails. So if you'd like to see the process of how I make them, you can find the tutorial here: http://www.tallgirlinheels.com/2012/08/takeover-thursday-katie-from-nails-by.html?m=0

To make them crackle, I did the whole process the same way, but for my base coat I used the same pink that I painted my nails with, then let that dry and did a coat of the crackle over it. Easy peasy lemon squeezey! ;)

I really love the way they turned out, they almost look like zebra stripes! (And you know me and zebra stripes!! ;D)

Then, just for the fun of it, on my opposite thumb (on my right hand) I did a little free-hand crackle heart. Obviously it didn't come out as good as the decals, but I still liked it! :)

The color I used were:
E.L.F. - Fab Fuchsia
China Glaze - Black Crackle

As always, don't forget to check out the other bloggers flip/flops!! :)
