Taxi Nails with Maybelline Fiercely Tangy!

I'm not really sure why but I've become a little obsessed with yellow polishes lately.  I guess I want to make it up to the colour after ignoring it for two years.  Shh, that's a normal thing to do.  Totes.  Anyway, Maybelline Fiercely Tangy is good at fitting in that colour cos it's yellow.  Which means I of course have to put glitter on it.  Taxi nails!

I guess I so neglected yellow polishes because they have a habit of being really difficult to apply.  Turns out Fiercely Tangy doesn't have that problem.  It's just a nice, bright yellow creme.  After applying three coats I went to work with my black and silver holo square glitter.  WHY IS IT THAT LARGER "SQUARE" GLITTER ISN'T SQUARE?  Surely it's not that hard to do.  My placement isn't the greatest here because I was having problems with the two colours being different sizes and not being cut evenly.  I think I'm ok with how it turned out.






The Verdict:  Love the polish, eh about the glitter.  Good in theory, just not executed terribly well by either myself or the people that made it.  It is sparkly, so there's that.  That's always a good thing.  Sppppaaarrrrrkkklllyy.

Retro 70's Watermarble Nails with Sparkly Lizards!

No matter how many times it kicks me in the face, I can't give up on watermarbling.  It works just often enough that I blame myself for any errors and my faith in it working one day lives on.  I got it to work though the other day and to celebrate I slapped on teeny sparkly lizards.  Only the best celebrations for me!


To start, I applied two coats of that pale yellow pastel from the recent Maybelline Color Show line.  If I were a good blogger I would list the color here but I can't remember so if you know that would great, etc.  Once dry, I taped off all my nails and got to work with China Glaze Liquid Leather and four of the other Color Show pastels.  There are many videos out there on watermarbling done by people much more talented than me, so if you're curious, go look.  Once done, I cleaned up, applied my coat of Seche Vite and used my Nailene Brush-On Nail Glue to stick my Sparkly Shop Gold Rhinestone Lizards on.  LOOK HOW CUTE THESE GUYS ARE.  I LOVE THEM SO MUCH.  I'm not just biased cos I co-run the shop, they are that cute. 





The Verdict: Love my unexpectedly retro watermarble, love my lizards more.  Yay for sparkly lizards!
