We're Simply Meant To Be

     So today I have a Nightmare Before Christmas manicure for you guys. I'm calling this one 'We're Simply Meant To Be." With an underlying theme of the love Jack and Sally share (hence the title). It didn't  turn out exactly as I wanted it to...So we are just going to call it stylized Jack and Sally...In fact if you like it you have my friend Marcie to thank for it (I was going to scrap it until she said she loved it). Conversely if you hate it she's also the one to blame (sorry Marcie). Anyway here it is:

We're Simply Meant To Be

     Usually, this would be the part where I tell you haw I did it...but this one is pretty complicated and I'm not entirely happy with it so I'm just going to throw this up here and say "Here, I did a thing." If you like it I'm glad, if you hate it...well I'm not happy with it either. But anyway I hope you guys all have a safe and happy Halloween and eat lots of candy, watch lots of horror films and and carve lots of pumpkins. That's all I have for you guys today. Until next time, stay classy, and stay polished.
XOXO

Halloween Water Marble

     First if all I wanted to apologize for being MIA lately. I just started a new job and haven't quite figures out a good pacing yet (I promise I will work on it though). Plus, I got a case a food poisoning (from a local TexMex place that I will never eat at again...it's funny how 3AM puke fests will do that to you). But luckily it is no longer making me toss my cookies but I am still a little light headed. That said I wasn't going to let it keep me from getting this post up. Luckily I did the mani on Sunday and edited the pics before the food poisoning kicked in. So I can handle the write up today (light headed or not). Anyway, today I have a Halloween water marble to show you guys. Actually it didn't exactly turn out as I wanted it to...But I like it and it's Halloween-ish so I'm posting it anyway. So without further ado here it is:

What I Used:

China Glaze - Sun Worshiper

China Glaze - Desert Sun

Dollish Polish - This Is Halloween

     I started with a base coat of Sun Worshiper then water marbled with Near Dark and Desert Sun. Once it was dry I added a layer of This Is Halloween to my ring finger as an accent nail. So what do you guys think? Do you like it? I really Do like it...even if it didn't turn out just as I wanted it to be or how I Imagined it would be. Anyway that's all I have for you today. Until next time, stay classy, and stay polished.
