Just Tri-it!

One color on your nails is just fine, but why not three?? Here is my tri-color nail design. Party In My Cabana looks a bit orange in this picture, but I assure you it is a lovely shade of pink. If you own it, you know what I'm talking about :). Enjoy!!

The Grim Tale

It may seem overly fanatical that I catalog my nail polish, and now that I'm looking at my list I feel like its too short ;). I digress... You may say "Liz! You're O.C.D". Which is when I might look you dead in the eye, memories flowing through them like a river... I begin to tell my grim tale.

It was in the wee hours of the morning on a hot southern Georgia summer night that two strange thieves stole into the townhouse I shared with my lovelies, Chelsea and Tom. Tom was out enjoying the shenanigans one young college boy might run into with fellow peers, and Chelsea was a meer door over at the neighbors enjoying a graduation celebration for our close friend and neighbor, Antuan. Where was I, you ask? After spending time next door enjoying the festivities, I decided to call it an early night and enjoy a good restful sleep in my bed on the third floor. (My days of going out four nights a week and staying up until 4am were apparently behind me).

Before I actually tell you the sheer terror that is the climax of this story, let me take you through a rather precise description of these wrongdoers.
*Female: Short, thin, crazy eyes, most likely owning t-shirts air-brushed at a carnival and what looked like possibly voyeuristic.
*Male: Possible "little person" with noodle limbs and an egg head, over sized duvet-ish looking black jacket and Junco Jeans, crazy eyes matching his counterpart, also possibly voyeuristic.
*Both: Likely crack heads.

These "wonderful" specimen were unknowingly to all other guests at the party... crashers. The neighbors thought they were friends of guests and vice versa. So there I was, sleeping sound while the thieves in question waltzed straight into our townhouse and took what they pleased.
"Oh, NO!" You might say. "What did these putrid degenerates take??!"
I will tell you what they took; Half. Of. My. OPI. Collection. I will let you take a moment to collect yourselves.






I did not have this catalog of polish when they stole half of my heart. Some are discontinued, and as much as it pains me to admit... some I just can't remember the names. If I had done this before the "crack head home invasion", I would have been able to be reunited with more of my babies.
So there you have it, folks. The reasoning behind my catalog (and a good one at that). I truly hope this results in a "scared straight" realization for those of you who hold your OPI as close as myself. You never know when the nail polish intruders will come to your door and "snatch yo people up". So, hide yo list, hide yo bottles, and hide yo husbands too...
The End.

Lots of Room for the Blues!

What's With the Cattitude?

Hopefully you have all watched my little tutorial. Again, sorry about the sound delay and that it's in parts but if anyone knows how to fix those things (no, I don't have a Mac :( ) Please please feel free to comment!! This is my finished product from the tutorial!

My thought process behind this was for my amazing boyfriend who is a former collegiate swimmer for Michigan. He loves blue (he wears it all the time) and was constantly in the water, so I thought it might be nice to do colors that he would really appreciate :). I also did all blue because I told you guys how "blue" I was when the videos weren't working. Maybe all I needed to do was match my mood, then the fates would let me have things my way ha! I hope you guys enjoy and any feedback is appreciated ("but don't get crazy")

It's over!!

Last but not least!!! This is just a wrap up. It's not crazy important to watch, but here it is. I really hope you guys enjoy and use this video!! Thank you so much!!!

This is the one video I was able to successfully upload to youtube. This is the aerial view of water marbling. This video was from the last water marbling I did which is why the colors are different from all the other tutorials. Enjoy

Part Two

Alright... So try after try after TRY, I can't get the sound to match up but honestly at this point, I'm spent :(. You can still hear everything and see everything so I'm just throwing my nails up and hoping you guys will still watch!! Here is part two. BTW... I'm not actually cross eyed haha. I thought I was looking straight into the camera, but apparently not! (sorry everyone, I'm still learning)

It's a Christmas Miracle!!

HEY, EVERYONE!!! COME SEE HOW GOOD I LOOK! If you don't know what that's from, please stop reading my blog. (just kidding... but seriously...)

Here it is!!! My water marbling tutorial!!!! I recorded the tutorial in parts so that it would download properly, and so that I could show you a straight on view and aerial view of the process. I really hope you all enjoy this because it sure did take quite some effort in getting everything to work!! (this whole process has shown me how horribly technically UNsavvy I really am )

Ok, part 1 with the rest to come very shortly!!!
