AN Monday...Superheroes and Villains.

Hi there everyone!!!! today is for sure my Favourite Aussie nails Monday ever!!!! its all about super heroes and villains. If you don't already know i'm a HUGE fan of Loki the god of mischief.  So there was only ever one person I was going to do my nails as .......

Plus this weekend was Supanova which is like comic con for Australians, so I had to my nails for that too!!!! Ok so first up let me share with you all the awesomeness that is Loki.

This is comic book Loki, not to be mistaken for movie Loki which everyone seems to know now cause of Thor and the Avengers. 

Ive loved Loki as a character for ever,but since Tom Hiddleston made him come to life in the marvel movies Loki has become ever so popular. Here is Tom Hiddleston in all his glory portraying Loki.

and one last one.......

So anyways you can see my inspiration.......

here are my nails.... I used Colour club artsy crafty for the green base, then Ulta3 Black satin, Kiko metallic gold for the braiding and stamping, and OPI the man with the golden gun for my thumb. I also used Messy Mansion MM05 plate for stamping, and finally a Loki helmet decal.

I was really happy with them and 3 days later I still have them on with no chips!!!! 

Supanova was awesome and Zoe and I got to meet Stan Lee Creator of the Marvel universe. We had our pic take with him and he signed some of my old vintage comics for me, plus we saw him do a q and A as well. For 91 years old he was jumping all over the place!!! We also got to see Agent May from Agents of SHIELD, Jon Heder,Terry Molloy who plays Davros in Doctor who and John Barrowman who was hilarious!!  It was an awesome weekend apart from all the lines.

Zoe went as black widow on Saturday and the TARDIS on Sunday. I did a LOT of sewing!!!!!

AN Monday- Tape manicure

Hi there everyone! Today's theme for Aussie Nails Monday is Tape mani. Now I personally did not want to use striping tape for this mani. When striping tape and I get together I usually end up in a metallic tangled mess. So I opted for some washi tape and fancy cut scissors.

Using washi tape is simple. you can pick washi up from most craft shops or even $2 shops. It is like a low tac tape that is made from paper, so easy to cut and inexpensive.

I used my zigzag scissors and cut a bunch of strips to use before painting my nails. I also used Gel polish for my base so I knew I would not smudge or affect the base coat of my mani.

I used Gelicious bikini wax and Kiko sugar mat 646 to create this mani. 1 cured coat of bikini wax, gelicious top coat and then 1 coat of kiko 646 for the taped parts.

I like how there is texture with the Kiko but still super shiny from the gel underneath.

You can pick up Gelicious gel polish HERE. Kiko is harder to get as it is an European brand but make sure you check out blog sales or maybe find someone to mule it from Spain.

Until next time.....

Nail Polish Canada's 2013 Holiday Nail Art Challenge

Hi there Everyone!!!!!!!

So I figured I might start one of the Nail Art Challenges going on ATM, and what better way than to start with Nail Polish Canada's 2013 Holiday Nail Art Challenge. 

The Theme is "Holiday Memories" and what is your favorite part of the holiday season.

for me.....Well i just LOVE trimming the tree with my girls.

This year we got a real tree too so it was that extra special!

See my shiny bucket too??? I covered it with hologram sticky back paper that i got from Dasio!!! it is so sparkly!!!!

Anyway trimming the tree means a lot and i have decorations that have been given to me since i was a baby, and i have carried on the tradition with my 2 girls as well,so every year they both get another ornament to add to the tree. 

I decided to do trimming the tree on my nails. I popped lights on one nail from a bundle monster Hawaii xmas plate, then on another nail i did a red jaybird as i have 2 ornaments that were given to me by my Poppy ( yep that's who my 3 yr old is named after) so they mean a real lot to me. a bauble and finally i used a Lynnderella polish to sparkle up a nail to share all the sparkle i love to have on my tree.

base is Joss magic potion, stamped with Ulta3 black satin and Kiko 616,
Lynnderella she live in a swamp,jaybird coloured with Zoya elissa, and holly
coloured with Zoya holly. Bauble is coloured with Kiko 616 also.
