she has been getting hers done every three weeks or so (that's why it was getting real expensive), but she's only just started doing her own. she can do it, but it just takes a bit of time. won't be long before she gets back into the fancy designs she used to pay for. some of those designs were actually really creative. far more complex than simple shades or just glitter, and not as cheesy as drawings of obvious things. there would be stuff like half metalic/half leopard print, and what i liked the most was that the design theme would be consistant but the designs would vary on each nail and not in a symmetrical way.

^^ Ahh yes, that's gonna save a whole heap of money!
You'll have to post some pics when she gets more creative
So I tried the layered manicure technique. As you can see it's hard to blend the layers properly so that you can't see the distictive boundary between the separate layers, particularly when you change to the darker shade. I found that if I had the brush almost completely dry (i.e. only a teensy bit of polish on it) it was much easier to blend it properly. I used OPI Sonic Bloom as the base and did 3 layers of that, then used OPI Sea I Told You for the last 2 layers.
Not bad for a first go
C0TB, what's the deal with jelly polishes? I haven't heard about them before!

I love the way your manicure turned out N3o! Fantastic, especially for a first time. I'm hoping to give it a go when I have some down-time tonight.
Re: the jelly colours, I haven't used them myself but I've seen them mentioned on nail blogs a fair bit. They seem to have a thicker more "jelly" consistency and dry to a nice almost translucent sheen. I'm curious to try some!

Thanks hun! Yeah I was happy with the way it turned out too! Except I definitely need some more practice with the blending. And using a jelly polish would definitely make it easier.
I nearly bought a butter LONDON jelly polish the other day but I think I've purchased enough for now

Saw these shoes in a girly paper. They seem surprisingly easy to walk in for the extreme way they look. There is a video on the website I posted where a chick is walking in them if anyone is interested.
Link with a video of shoes in use...crazy!

surprisingly it seems that you can walk in them...which I thought would be clos to impossible...but like the girl in the video said, they are better for parties where you sit 99% of the time...

Hmmm, to be honest, I don't think they're designed or intended to actually be IN-in. I think they're just a novelty item/art piece?
Correct me if I'm wrong! I'm not the most up-to-date person when it comes to fashion :D
I just bought my first stamp plate for nail art:
These are some suggested designs to make with the plate:
Has anyone else tried these?? I'm excited to give it a try!

That looks really cool! How does it work? I might have to get one!
Ermmm I'm not sure....! :D
It comes with a pad and from some diagrams that I've seen online, you paint the polish over the design you want to use (it must be raised or something?) then you dab the pad over it to get the print, then you stamp it on your nail...
I think!
I will be sure you let you know

I have seen shoes like that before but I've never seen anyone actually walk in them. That is crazy!!!
Ok, so these aren't the shoes, but i can't stop laughing at the poor model in this video (and neither can the two anchormen
)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvPkUMRE7yg

I posted about Konad in the last Grrly thread. Some of the designs are phenom! I saw a guy with a fishnet design in black and chrome! Check out YouTube- there are plenty of tutorials and tips on how to do them. It takes a bit of practice to get them perfect. Let us know how it goes. I might need to finally purchase some. There's also Fauxnad and Bundle Monster too, I believe.

I didn't know that they had to be replaced every 5-10 years! All those extra surgeries would probably make your boobs scarred and even more unnatural looking. I have small boobs but my boyfriend loves them and so do I - I wouldn't want to date a guy who wants a girl that has double D's and the body of Gisele. That just can't happen naturally!
