And it begins?

Cosmic FX has begun arriving at Sally this week :)  Halley’s Comet will be mine, oh yes.

Archive: Pacman!

I did this back in May, shortly after Pacman's 30th birthday :)  Original post: "You can blame my coworker for the inspiration for this :) In real life, the colors were absolutely perfect.  I got far more comments about these than I was expecting, and because I'm a very shy and modest person, it was almost enough to make me uncomfortable.  Almost.  :D"

Giveaways

More wonderful things to hope for...

Archive: To go with my Winter Sparklaaay

I'm still rocking it, so here's one from about a month ago on a day that I was craving Fall :)

It was soooo pretty, but the picture doesn't show the red at the tips, or the shine.  It would have looked like fire if I took a toothpick to it :D  Oh well.

I call this "I want it to be winter NOW."

I like winter :)

I give it 12 hours before I start picking at the rhinestones.  I'm a picker.

I felt like being shiney today

I've finally recovered from cutting these babies WAY too short after a first-time-messing-with-silk-wraps disaster :) 

So, this is the kind of thing I do.  I almost always use a sponge in some way, I use them for both the gradients and for my tips [I'm kinda surprised I don't see more people use sponges for tips :D I have shakey hands, so I can't freehand very well, and I'm too impatient for tape]. 

I love doing gradients, it trips my customers out :D

Colors:
LA Colors - Electrified
Kleancolor - Sheer Lilac
China Glaze - Fairy Dust
