Let's Go Camping - Roaring Campfire


Hello, Fireflies!

Two challenges today, and two posts! If you'd like to see my Adventures In Stamping stamping over stripes nailart, click HERE

First up, the last of the Challenge Your Nail Art camping challenge - Campfires.

I started with Zoya Jesy, a jelly coral-leaning-orange with lots of glitter. Forgot to get a pix by itself. Eh, there's lots of swatches of it online, though.  The whole Zoya Bubbly collection is pretty cool, but this was the one I *had* to have.  Right away.

Then I stamped this cool fire with Wet 'n Wild Black Creme and the Mash 48 plate.  Times like this, I wish I had longer nail beds, because I had to chop the bottom of the fire off. How cool is that stamp?

I sponged a little Cirque Arcane Fire, because, fire.  Yeah.

I also painted in some 'logs' with Sally Hansen Salon Cinnamon, and used a white striper to detail it... and to also make marshmallows.  What other reason is there to build a campfire, if not to roast marshmallows?

I like them burnt.  OMG. Drool.

Embracing My Geekness with Katniss


Hello, Fireflies!

Today is a day to embrace your geekness! and today, especially, I'm embracing another glowing, fiery thing - Catching Fire, from the Hunger Games trilogy.  Yes, I read the books, too, so this qualifies, I think.

I even used polishes and nail art decals from the Cover Girl Catching Fire collection.  First, Cover Girl Black Heat, a black polish with flecks of gold and green, and some orange that catch the light.

I dabbed on a gradient with Cover Girl Seared Bronze, a pink/bronze polish with some of the same green/gold duochrome glitters as Black Heat.  Smoky, Smoldering, Glowy.

These came in a set with these cool decals.  Decals - Big.  My nails - small.  Tiny scissors - friend.

Yeah, I need flames like this painted on everything I own. I used to watch a lot of cooking shows, and some of my faves had flames painted on their Kitchen Aid stand mixers.  I want these.


*I* am the Girl. On. Fire!
