Tutorial: Poison Dart Frog Mani

Hello friends! Today I wanted to share something that I’m really excited about: I’ve made another tutorial! It’s a fun look that doesn’t take much effort and the final look is awesome. Read ahead if you’re interested in recreating this mani!

What you’ll need:
A sponge; Something to put your polish on (I used a zip lock bag); A Larger dotting tool & a smaller one (if you don’t have a dotting tool just use something with a round end – anything, even an old ball point pen – and just use less polish for the smaller dots); Black polish, dark blue polish, & a light blue polish (or use white & combine it with your dark blue).

For my colours I used Essie – Aruba Blue, Zoya – Blu, & Essie – Licorice
**So Dagmara made a mistake. I wrote white instead of light blue while editing the tutorial. So just ignore that. Or if you are using white well then …your welcome**

Foxy


Hey there! Happy Monday.
Today I wanted to share with you guys what I wore over the weekend.

For the base colour I used China Glaze – Foxy and to do the strips I used my trusty Quo Stripper in black. Apologizes for the lack of up close bottle shots. The photos just kept coming up blurry and I was extremely unsatisfied.

My favourite reaction to these babies was my mom’s. She came in my room to see what it looked
 like and all she said was “Meeeooww!”. I love that woman.SAM_4966

You may have also noticed my new watermark. I’ve been playing around with different programs and I finally found one that’s pretty decent. I wasn’t willing to purchase Adobe Photoshop because, let’s face it, as a recent university grad I’m rather short on funds. So I did a bit  of research and I found GIMP which is a free program.
 So far I’m happy, hopefully it stays that way.

That’s all for now readers. Let me know what you think in the comments!
