Happy New Year Mani

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

I hope everyone had a Wonderful Christmas

and a Happy New Year.

It's 2018 Now and it's time to set ourselves with Goals.

One of my goals is to blog more often.

It's challenging at times when there's FB,IG and Twitter posting

that is so much easier and faster. BUT those posts tend to

lack further details and links and extra pictures too.

Years and  Years ago, (7-8yrs ago) when I first started to get into

nail art, I use to only read the blog posts.

It gave me so much more direction and I felt more

confident attempting my own work.

So my goal is to post more and make nail art not

so challenging to achieve.

I also set myself a goal to make more YouTube Video's as well.

Do you have any 2018 Goals??

Anyways.... Here was New Years Mani

SURFS UP

Here's the finished product.

Does it look like alot of work?

It really wasn't tho.

Now... I have a  not so good quality pic of this Mani

in different stages on my phone. 

Would you like to see???

First I painted 2 coats of Black Polish on 3 fingers.

(2 only shown here)

Next I paint my center 2 accent nails with a light beige polish.

Once dried I used Acrylic paints and a sponge to apply the colors onto my nails.

While that was drying I used a Q-Tip with then ends cut off to make a tiny

straw and splattered my other nails with the colors I used on my 2 center nails.

Then I decided to splatter White Acrylic Paint ontop of the 2 center accent nails.

Once everything dried I applied a Matte Top Coat for my finish.

**EXTRA Pics at end of Post**

For Art I used Born Pretty BP 184

I used Funky Fingers Dark Knight and Gesso as my stamping polishes.

I was Happy with the out come.

I didn't want something boring.

And by adding the extra splatters it really made a difference.

Base Polishes used.

I found these at Dollar Tree.

These type of sponges come with packing of certain products.

I got a ton from a friend who works at a Dentist office.

The Q-Tips are from Dollar Tree.

They are Cheap and I DO NO Recommend you to use

these for the ears at all.

But they are hollow and work great for making DIY

straws with a tiny opening.

Acrylic Paints

I Only use these Over a base polish.

**Never fully on a naked nail**

Clean up is really easy and fast.

It's just water to clean up.

These paints are sold at craft stores and Walmart and

probably Target too.

But Amazon runs some good deals on Sets of these too.

****TIP****

Apple Barrel in Matte Finish is .50 each at Walmart

No Need to spend extra money for a shiny gloss,

because you need to top coat them and that will give them 

a shiny coat.

Do you like all the details in the post today?

Is it to much?

To boring?

Thank You All for visiting My Beach.

I hope you enjoyed today's post and I hope

you return again soon.
