Tied-DYnamically

Oh the joys of experiments, from creating some awesome chemical in chemistry class to trying out every hot pink til you find the one that's most visible from across the room, experiments are FUN! I still remember making a tie dye shirt my sophomore year in highschool (and yes I still have it) that was probably one of the best assignments in the class. (I also enjoyed the one where I wrote/sang a song about 'iron' from the chart of elements, our assignment was to 'present' an element and I got stuck with iron, so I had to think outside the box---embarrassing yet fun and I'd do it again) Tie-dyed items seem to be popping up everywhere and I've always wanted to create another shirt, so instead I painted my nails, at least the way I interpreted tie-dye. I'm gonna continue to perfect this one, I believe I will be able to capture tie-dye...I can do it! (in my Rob Schneider voice lol)

As a base I used Sally Hansen SALON's 'All the White Stuff'. For the 'dyes' I used all China Glaze neon colors, 'Yellow Polka Dot Bikini'--hot yellow, 'Pool Party'--hot pink, 'Sun Worshiper'--hot orange, 'Towel Boy Toy'--hot blue, and 'Kiwi Cool-ada'--hot green, all topped off with two coats of Seche Vite

Twirly Whirly

Once again I couldn't choose just one so instead I chose three (me and my color lol), anything bright and shiny I'm down for....well it has to be worked the right way. The idea I was going for was color oozing from one nail to the other, like a lava lamp, I think it was better conveyed on my left hand. I actually used three different base colors but it looks more like I used pink on one and green on the other...Oooo Green Lantern, anyone going to see that or going to see Ryan Reynolds I should say heeheehee?



For the base of the thumb and index finger I used Nubar's 'Hot Yellow', swirled with Nina Ultra Pro's 'Leaf Me Alone' and outlined with Kiss Brush-On Nail Art Paint--Rock Star. For the base of the middle, ring, and pinky I used Nina Ultra Pro's 'Leaf Me Alone', swirled with Nubar's 'Hot Yellow' and outlined with Kiss Brush-On Nail Art Paint--Rock Star, all topped off with two coats of Seche Vite.





For the base of the pinky, ring, and middle finger I used Orly's 'Va Va Voom' and swirled Nubar's 'Hot Yellow' outlined in Kiss Brush-On Nail Art Paint--Rock Star. For the base of the index and thumb I used Nubar's 'Hot Yellow', swirled with Orly's 'Va Va Voom' and outlined with Kiss Brush-On Nail Art Paint--Rock Star, all topped off with two coats of Seche Vite.
