Mystical Mani

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach.

I just recently won a Giveaway on Winstonia Store Via Fcaebook.
They are hosting  Tag and Win Tuesday Giveaway.
Tag you or your friends on the(image plate) photo for a chance to win a $10 Winstonia Store Gift Card.
If the photo has reached it's max in tagging than just like the photo and it will count. :)

I was excited to hear that I had won. 
I have been keeping a very close eye on a certain product that has been out of stock.
So when I heard I won I knew exactly what I wanted.
But it was still out of stock.
I spoke with Winstonia in regards to this product and they had informed me it will 
be available in a day or so. They got them in and she notified me they are available
again. The customer service and promptness is outstanding. And for them to notify me
when they were available..Wow!.. I give them 5 out of 5 Stars.
With my order placed now, all  I had to do was wait for shipping.
And it shipped fast.Just a few days it took.
Again Great service here!
Shipping is cheap too.


SURFS UP....

I used W117 Winstonia Glitter Powder 

This is the Glitter Powder I used.

Front of Package
Back of package.
Side view. Both sides are the same.

 Side view on. Both sides are the same.
This is the opening/closing end. Both ends are the same.

The one thing I notice immediately was there no instructions.
I used it to completely cover my nail.
I paint my nail a base color close to the glitter color and once
dried I apply a non fast drying topcoat and sprinkled the glitter all 
over my nail. I also pressed the glitter down to make sure I had complete
coverage. It is very durable tho. I went to bed after I did this and showered.
It's still fully covered on my nail.

Now can I stamp on this glitter?
Yes.
What happens it I clear coat it?
It seems to darken the glitter color a bit,but it's still
sparkly and less rough to the touch.



Have you tried Winstonia's Glitter Powder?

Thank You for surfing my wave.
I hope you enjoyed your visit at My Beach.

DIY your own Texture Polish

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

As promised this post is about how you can make your own texture polish.

It all started with this particular nail image from My Online Shop
MJ XIV (MJ14)
I kept seeing others post pics with China Glaze texture or Sally Hansen Sugar Coated Polishes.
Now to be honest I am not willing to pay $6-$8 a bottle for something that is just trending. Like crackles came and went. Now these styles do have it's time and place but at that price I'd
 have to absolutely love it or get it on clearance with a coupon before I own any.

Now like most things in life there's fads.Some come and go and others stay away.
But in Nail World art is different. 
These products really have no rules.
On your rhinestone wheel does it say only apply 1 and don't mix and match?
Nope. So we already act outside the recommended directions.

 SURFS UP.....

So Cheesy!
The first picture is Velvet Dust. aka Flocking Powder

Oh and if you didn't know already "Yes" you can even stamp over Flocking Powder.
On the second picture I applied two coat of clear coat over the Flocking Powder.
Because the nail is so fluffy it sucks up the clear coat.
So you made need to add more depending on your liking.
 I already had the Velvet Dust and who doesn't have a clear coat handy..
I used cheap clear coat on this Mani.

If you Google Images  Orange Texture Polish you will see photo's of 
swatches that look the same as here..
I will post other's photo's unless they permit me to.

 This is the Velvet Dust I have from Mash Nails

You can purchase this plate at--My Online Shop
 MJ XIV 
MJ 14 In real Life.
Oh and of course I stamped in my  "Trusty" Black Polish

Are you a big fan of the texture polishes?
Do you have any Flocking powder or Velvet Dust just laying around?
You can find flocking powder at your local craft store.
I have a kit and it was on clearance for 2-3 dollars :)
But you didn't hear that from me..heheehe

Thank you for surfing My wave.
I hope you enjoyed your visit at My Beach..

Stay Tuned in.. I have Big News to Share Soon! :)

Fun with Caviar

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome To My Beach

As some of you may already know I like to try new
things with nail products. I am a rule breaker- Yes..
But if you don't try it you will never know.
So I started of with this gradient Mani.
Here I'll so you..

SURFS UP...

I used CG Elephant Walk and W`NW Black for the Gradient.
Caviar beads are from Mash Nails
I had this Caviar Nail and what better to match it than Spiders!
The beads now look like spider eggs.
Kinda gross but still pretty cool
I topped this off with some Mash Nails Matte Polish.

Now this is when my mind started to think outside the box..
Can I stamp over Caviar Beads?
How would it look?
I've never seen this done before.umm
I better try it anyways..
I was so excited to see that it worked.
This Mani just changed it's whole look with One simple little stamp.


Cheeky Jumbo 6 for the Spider Web.
The difference just between Glossy VS Matte
and than Plain Caviar VS Stamped Caviar

I have so many different creations I want to make trying this technique.

I also experimented making my own texture polish.
That'll be my next post. :)

Have you ever thought or tried to use nail products in different ways than
intended on the package?
Just writing this up gave me more ideas to play around with and try.
Like.. String.. Who says I can't glue that sucker down on my nail?
Or use it to stripe my polish.
Yeah.. I got you thinking now huh..
With nail art you have to have Fun with it.
