When in doubt, TRI - polish Squiggles

Hello, Fireflies!

I foundered a bit here and there this month with this challenge.  Getting in all three colors caused me a bit of a mental block at times! So, here, at the last, what can I do?

First, start with an absolutely gorgeous bluish-periwinkle holo.  This is Cult Nails Intriguing.

Next, pull out some nail art pens.  I found these Hot Designs pens at Target.  They're kinda cool because they have both a brush, and a squeeze fine tip.  Because of this, they're refillable, too! My only complaint is that I had to squeeze a little hard for some of these, which got uncomfortable after a while.

Not sure what to do with your nail art pens?  Squiggles and scrolls.

Sure, I might have been trying to make something, but you'll never know that it wasn't just squiggles and scrolls.  It's a foolproof plan.

I think this is one of those tools that will give me better results with a little practice!  What was the last thing you tried to do that you wondered if you'd ever get it, and then, it just came together?

Sunday Stamping - Happy Easter Egg Hunt

Hello, Fireflies!

Today's nail art combines my Sunday Stamping Easter challenge with my Spring Renewal Freestyle challenge.  I decided to take you on an Easter Egg Hunt!

I started with Liquid Sky Lacquer Autumn Thyme, a gorgeous light sage green holo.  I love her holos, but they do take a little longer to dry, and I always ding my nails up, because I am a major clutz.

I used Shany18 and Finger Paints Go Van Gogh! to create a foliage pattern in which to "hide" my eggs. 

I kinda like it just like this! But, it's not very Easter-y.

I used Revlon Spirit with Shany08 and Winstonia W105 to stamp a cute little (and apparently, transparent) chick, and some eggs.

I found these pretty cool nail art pens on clearance at Target - I think they're one of those 'As Seen On TV' products.  They're Hot Designs double-sided nail art pens.  They have both a brush applicator, and a thin tip that you can squeeze the polish through.  Technically, you can refill them, too, though I haven't tried.  I used the thin tip side to color my Easter Eggs.  Some of the pens were harder to squeeze than others, but they were fairly easy to use.

This is one of those, "I wish my nails were bigger" moments.  The eggs aren't really so much hiding, are they? More like, I could barely fit these on my nails, and in some cases, I didn't.

Bottle shot:  Liquid Sky Lacquer Autumn Thyme, Finger Paints Go Van Gogh!, Revlon Spirit, and the hot designs nail art pens.

I wish you a happy Spring renewal, however you celebrate it!
