***Purple Sparkle***

My sister got me these awesome sparkly colors: Zoya pixie dust, in a purple, black, silver and blue. I've been wanting to do something fun with them, and this week I tried something. I only used 2 this time, but I'll do more. I started with a bright purple, knowing it wouldn't be that visible by the end. On the bottom third I used this polish I got ages ago, but haven't been that happy with until now. It's called Butter London, and the color is The Black Knight. It seemed so pretty and sparkly in the bottle, but on the nails it just has made a sorta brownish mess of glitter. Over the purple though (especially with the others to contrast) it worked really well- and it's definitely good stuff to paint with. Expensive, but I want to get more of the brand. Then came a bit of the light purple Zoya in the middle, and silver on the top. I liked that the silver had a bunch of big glitters in it. Unfortunately covered a bit of the middle when I did the silver (and I think the top coat smudged some too) but overall I thought it had a pretty effect. Not quite as creative as I usually go, but I think it ended up quite elegant.



Gave you two views, just so you could appreciate the colors and effect.

"Dino" Nails? Ok, alien frogs...

Well I found this youtube video with a tutorial to paint these adorable dinosaur nails:
Dino nails!  I decided to try it for myself!




It seems it was a little harder than I thought. But these are pretty cute alien frogs...! 

If anyone else wants to give it a try, I'd love to see what you come up with!
