Rubber Ducky, You're the One...

You Make My Bath Time, So Much Fun!

Welcome to Day #2 of 'Try to Get That Song Out of Your Head'!! :-P Today's nails are inspired by a cake that my friend Brienne did with a rubber ducky and bubbles. it was sooooo cute. I'll try to find pictures! (or ask her for one) :-P



I used Orly Snowcone as a base, and mixed with Pure Ice French Kissfor the different tile colors. For the Dark blue outlines, I used Pure Ice French Kiss, for the water highlights and some of the tiles I used Orly Snowcone mixed with Sally Hansen All the White Stuff. For the grout, I used Sally Hansen All the White Stuff, and for ducky, I used Diamond Cosmetics #319 Lemon Yellow Zest for the body, and Electric Orange for the beak/bill and mixed with Diamond Cosmetics #319 Lemon Yellow Zest for the wing shading. For the eye, Sally Hansen All the White Stuff and Zoya Raven. There is also a little bit of Sapphire Sparkle Effect on the bubbles, but it is hard to see. I topped everything off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.

Don't forget to wash yer butt. <---Words of Wisdom.

Cause & Effects

Hey everyone!! Today's nails were inspired by the kick-ass new colors that were sent to me to play with by CND (Creative Nail Design) They are amazing, and I'm not just saying that because they were gratis. They are super easy to apply, and are so close to being opaque, that I could've gotten away with one coat, but did two for good measure. Green Scene is well on it's way to becoming my favorite green, and Electric Orange is the orange creme I've been looking for! Lol, I'm such a nerd, but you can even ask my roommate how excited and impressed I was when I tried these. Today's manicure is utilizing all 3 colours and 2 effects that were sent, (Thank you!) I tried Konad stamping with the effects, but it didn't work very well :-/ but I included a closeup of the pinky, where you can see some of the orange/copper reflect from Copper Shimmer Effect polish, and some of the blue sparkles on the ring finger from Sapphire Sparkle Effect polish. Lesson learned I suppose.





I used Green Scene as a base, with Eclectic Purple sponged on the tips. For the Electric Orange stripe, I painted a thick strip of polish on my palette, and dipped my tip into it. :) On top of everything, I used Copper Shimmer Effect and Sapphire Sparkle Effect on Konad Plate m65, using each polish on half of the design. Topped everything off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.
