GIIIIIIVVVEEEEEAWAAAYYYYY!!!!
I wanted my GFC AND Facebook followers to have an equal chance at this one!
I am giving away two handmade, one-of-a-kind frankens, stickers, and Lisa Frank mechanical pencils to the winner!
I was inspired to make Pansy (the yellow glitter franken) when I saw these stickers. I came home and set to work! I know not everyone likes yellow, but this is yellow AND purple! Both! The purple-indigo franken is a shimmery, almost glittery semi-jelly. I dunno, I think I shall call this one...Aparajita!
You have less than one week to enter using this Rafflecopter widget! Giveaway ends on April 18th at 12am.

ReplyDeleteI posted before I saw what the question was on Rafflecopter! Duh. I wish I could draw things on my nails that I could easily do on paper, but I feel like if I get more complicated than dots or lines, it'll get too gloppy and thick and get dings in it even hours after it's dry. I would love to be able to do some of the cute nail art I've seen of fruit, animals, etc. I also wouldn't mind trying water marbling, but it looks really hard to master and messy. So I might just live vicariously through others with that one. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteRight away I can say that putting an image you drew under a plastic baggie then retracing with polish (and painting it in with acrylics or whatever) is the way to go! I am going to do a detailed plastic bag nail art tutorial (step by painful step) again soon, but I do have one in one of my first posts to give you an idea. It can be a bit poofy on the nail, but if you use acrylic paint it might not be :)) HTH!
DeleteText on nails! I see it but can NOT do it!! :)
ReplyDeleteOooh do you mean newspaper nails or something else? I can get behind that.
DeleteI want to start learning with dotting and some light free hand. I just want to get some brushes and dotting tools so I can do all this!
ReplyDeleteI got my brushes for around $3 at....ok I don't remember, but anyhow! They were in a package of 10. I have modified a bunch of them to be what I want them to be. Dotting tools are also suuuper cheap on ebay. They take a little while to get to you, but they are really fun!
DeleteI really suck at water marbling :(
ReplyDeleteMe too, but hopefully I can get better and show y'all some techniques!
DeleteMarbling (both dry and water)! And I wish I could do free hand nail art on my dominant hand! Aaahhh! To be ambidextrous!
ReplyDeleteYou are gonna want to check out my latest post, a tutorial on baggie painting! It makes it look like you are ambidextrous, seriously. All it takes is a baggie and a general idea of how big each nail is. It takes time, but so worth it :)) You can even make little decals this way.

ReplyDeleteI would love to master water marbling and sponges!

DeleteI want to master water marbling :)
ReplyDeleteME too! I hope we can get there, I will be sure to try this soon *kicks self for not getting filtered water*
DeleteStamping & water marbling!
ReplyDeleteI personally watch videos on youtube for good stamping technique; it is so hard to read something about it without seeing it done! That is why I usually don't post stamping tutorials :/
DeleteWater marbling!
ReplyDeleteTrying, I will get a tutorial going soon!!!
Deletei want to be able to try stamping and master that. only if i had a konad system.
ReplyDeleteWhat I did is buy a Red Angel set (Cheeky is also good I hear, I dont think Red Angel plates are good anymore) and a Konad Double ended stamper and also black and white Konad Special polish. I use an old credit card to scrape. Cheeky also makes bigger designs for bigger/longer nails that I love called XL (they are huge plates). Hope this helps!
Deletewater marbling and freehand on my dominant hand
ReplyDeleteWater marbling, as I have been to scared to try! Every wknd I think of other things I need to do in order to not just sit down and try it! LOL! Sponging is another. I did ok on a test one, so maybe I am getting better! : )
ReplyDeleteok, it's a very simple one, but for the life of me i cannot stop flooding my cuticles! so...just basic painting is what i want to master!!!
ReplyDeleteslowly trying to master water marbling and stamping
ReplyDeleteAny of them. Seriously, I'm horrible at everything besides sponging. I guess I'll just have to practice more!
ReplyDeletemarbling! I don't know what's wrong with the water I use but the polish just wont spread.
ReplyDeleteWater marbling!! Polish always seems to dry wayy too fast before I can manage to get a nice swirly pattern going. =(
ReplyDeleteWater marbling and stamping! Everyone seems to have this down, I just need to persevere!
ReplyDeleteWater marbling!
