I'll Have S'more!!

Ooey, Gooey, Melty, Chocolatey, Sugary, crunchy goodness. Yes, this is one of the only reasons I go camping...for the s'mores. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love hanging around the campfire, and fishing when there is water, and all that jazz, but I really truly love s'mores, hot dogs, and baked potatoes cooked in the fire. Since I'm going camping tonight up on Mt. Charleston, I decided to do S'mores nails!!! :) A few years ago, I was introduced to the double chocolate method, go ahead, try it, it'll rock your world. I'm seriously so excited for roasted marshmallows, and how I painted it is how they're perfectly cooked... though if my mom were camping with us, they'd be flaming balls of charred sugar, never could understand why she likes them burnt. *gag*

I used:

Thumb & pinky: Graham crackers

Some mix of MAC Showy, Zoya Dea, Nubar Milk Chocolate Creme, American Apparel Cotton and American Apparel Palm Springs.

Index & Ring: Chocolate *drool*

Nubar Milk Chocolate Creme as a base, with MAC Showy to shade, and Zoya Dea to highlight.

Middle: toasted Marshmallowy goodness

American Apparel Cotton as a base, with MAC Abalone Shell, American Apparel Palm Springs, Zoya Dea, MAC Showy, and OPI for Sephora What's a Tire Jack? Matte sponged on lightly in layers. I love how the tip edge looks like it was singed. :-P

Topped the chocolate nails off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat, no top coat for the marshmallow nail, and for the graham cracker nails, I sponged on Essie Matte About You so it wouldn't give a smooth matte finish, but a rough one. :-D

Ok, I'm off to head up the mountain!! :) Have a fun day/night!! :)

PATRIOTIC

Everytime I use the fimo clay dots from oaktreedollshouseminiatures.com the nails turn out so cute so I had to incorporate them into the 4th of July theme. I created the flag on the ring fingers with acrylic :)

This is OPI gel polish in Big Apple Red. I hand painted the design.

4th of July nails! I mixed this confetti with stuff I purchased from dollarnailart.com. The white stars are confetti from Zurchers party store.

This is a light blue art glitter called Mystery. I added fimo clay flowers from kennickkreations.com.

These nails have 3 different colors of pink with silver stars.

Minx releases World Cup nail designs

I still haven't gotten around to getting some Minx nails done, but in the meantime I got some news!

Minx nails Releases World Cup Nails for Fans!

"The FIFA World Cup is well under way, and to help celebrate this exciting occasion Minx has created a fabulous and fan-worthy line of designs called the FANstastic World Cup Flags! There are a total of 13 great countries represented by their nation’s flag, allowing fans to extend their support and patriotism to their very fingertips."

These look kinda fun don't they? I've seen so much World Cup mani's pop up in only 2 weeks time, I love it. Normally I'm not really into soccer (or football if you must), but this whole World Cup brings so many people together, so fun!

I can imagine not everyone feels like spending hours on bustin' out a perfect flag, so these could come in handy.

The flags
USA	Argentina	Australia	Brazil	France
Germany	Italy	Mexico	South Africa	South Korea
Spain	Saint George	United Kingdom	Finland

Too bad Italy and France are already eliminated. Apparently Finland isn't even participating in the World Cup? And no Holland? Aw :-(

Who do you think is going to be the World Champion?
