Blue Lagoon Nails

Blue Lagoon nails? What is this, another new oh-so-trendy, oh-so-rare indie label?

Nah, just one of my favourite nail art ideas!

Surprisingly simple, astonishingly adaptable and splendidly striking! (That sentence took a surprisingly long time to make. My English teachers would be so disappointed in me!)

It takes a dotter tool (or a toothpick), and 4-ish colours.

I used:

OPI Catch Me In Your Net for the the base (I love this colour with a passion that cannot fully be expressed in any known language. I think Klingon would have a good one, though. Maybe I'll go asking the Internet...)

OPI Teal the Cows Come Home, Fly and Yoga-tta Get this Blue for the dots.

If you have some nice blues, dark greens, teals, aquas, etc you can do this manicure.

*BONUS* This manicure is OPI Suzi-Approved!

 I *love love love* this. Simple, but amazingly effective. I think I might try this in other colours, too...

Cheers!

Glitter! Sally Hansen Blingtastic

YAY GLITTER.

Yes, it requires all caps. Glitter is THE BEST. A pain to take off, but such a joy to behold. Enter: Sally Hansen Blingtastic from the Gem Crush line. Aqua AND glitter. I'm sold.

 WOOOOO. PARTY.

*Ahem*

So this was 3 coats of Blingtastic, and it could have used another. But honestly, I draw the line at three coats for glitter. If you can't be opaque by then... we  have a problem. But this was pretty close. Make your glitters more dense, manufacturers. I've got places to be (mostly my bed) and I'd like to stop applying coat after coat.

GLITTER!
