Gold Leaf Nails

What is it with nails lately? It’s like there is this underground world of nail painting competitors. Yes ya know what I mean. If you log onto PINTEREST I tell ya, there is every nail design you can think of! You can fine flamingo’s, rulers, paper design, fading, swirling, polka-dotting nails ALL OVER!!!
I’m an Artist. My nails never lived a day long. They are always painted. They are always filed. I don’t bite them. They are not SUPER short. It’s like the more I look at all these crazy cool designs I start to feel bare with just ONE color. So if you follow my blog you will know that I just put up a “UP” nail tutorial. If you want to see it click HERE. Plus it is really cute and really fun.
The other morning while flipping through billions of recordings on our DVR I though about a design.
GOLD LEAF!! Yah. I’ve never seen that before.
Now you have to bare with my super {{not}} nail tutorials.
They are not the “most” descriptive suckers but you will get what I am trying to say. {{at least I hope you do!}}

So ya ready!
(((drum rolllllllll)))

p.s. i know. i look like i have claw fingers. i swear i don’t. {teehehehe}

p.s. i swear these are the cutest little “whatchamacallit’s” you will ever see.

Well jaderbugs! I hope you enjoyed this little leafy stuff!!

Sending you gold shimmery love,

I’ve got news for ya

It’s done. I have finally decided to put myself to the test. Yes. That is right. Ya know, I have a huge idol. Well maybe I should say MUSE. Yes. She lives inside of me as I am sure she does in plenty of other souls. Sometimes I pretend I am her. Have you ever seen her hands? She is just magnificent I tell ya. She makes every craft seem like walking on water. She is the craft god. Have you guessed who I am talking about? Come on….. Think….

Yes. Whoever is reading this, I will just tell you that your right.

MARTHA STEWART.

Little ole me has decided to live in “her” shoes for 100 days and do 100 of HER crafts. I am not sure why I am doing this because I already have quite a crazy life. I think I wanna test myself. Accomplish something that for some reason seems out of reach. I mean, I know I can do it. I’m not sure who really cares if I do it but I do.

Now I know everyone is thinking “well what about all the crafts YOU come up with”…

Well you will still get those. I know, I ‘m crazy!

I mean this is the deal. I just wanna feel like I have walked in Martha’s shoes for a period in time. I don’t wanna get rid of me. Just look at it as your getting double the crafts.

I will make sure to mark the titles of the blogs in a manner that you will understand.

For example:

If it’s a “jaderbomb” craft I will still put it like I always do

ex) DIY: Fabric Laptop Cover

It it’s a “martha” craft I will label it like this

ex) The Martha Countdown/ Homemade Sea Salt

Got it? And in each post I will put how many days left and what craft I am on.

I hope you are as excited as I am.

I mean, the best holidays are coming up so if I were you I would be SOOO happy!!!

Martha and I will check ya later! {{teeeheheheh}}

AND IF YOU DECIDE TO DO ANY OF THE CRAFTS, SHOOT ME AN EMAIL AND I WILL ATTACH IT TO THE POST WITH A LINK THAT GOES STRAIT TO YOUR BLOG! OR IF YOU DON’T HAVE A BLOG JUST EMAIL IT TO ME AND I WILL STILL PUT IT UP!!!!

UP inspired Nails

Ya’ll, it’s an thumbs “up” day!!!! For real! I don’t know about you but I love love love the movie up! Totally and ridiculously reminds me of my god child! Is there an age limit to stop basing your life around cartoon movies? I totally wanna live in that house! Don’t cha~

You can click HERE to see another post I did about the movie UP~~~ I love it!

It just makes my teeth sing with happiness. Don’t cha wish your teeth could sing like mineeee….

Don’t cha….. {{yes I am singing that as I am typing}}

During a fun restless night I decided to paint my nails but could NOT decide on a color {imagine that}. I mean do I pick matte, gloss, bright, dull, dark, full of glitter {{{cause the only girl that wears glitter is jade, per anonymous}}} lol…..

That is when the fabulous idea hit me. Hit me like a ton of nail polishes all in my grill. All at once.

So I used all the colors I wanted. I just took the end of a Q-tip and pulled all the soft fuzz off. Then you just stick it in the bottle and lightly dot on your nail. You will see that the harder you press the bigger the dot will be, and the lighter you dab then it will make your dot smaller. Just have fun.

If you want you could totally paint your nails while watching up.

UP UP and away~~~~

p.s. how awesome are all of these colors. I used all different nail polishes so if you want you can click on the picture and it should make it life sized (teeheeee)

p.s. just remember when looking at my dingy nails. i’m an artist. NOT a hand model. I actually use these nubsters.

p.s. THUMBS UP!!! hahah

full of different name brand nail polishes love,
