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

Amazon Link -> http://amzn.to/2Ev8YP9

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.

I like Big Books Mani

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

I am Really enjoying these Marianne Nails Stamping Plates.

SURFS UP

I have been on an Acrylic Paint base kick lately

Here I started off with a light cream nail polish base.

Then I used 3 different shades of Brown Acrylic Paint 

on a sponge.

** I ran out of Liquid Latex so I improvised and used Chap Stick around**

my cuticles and skin. It actually worked pretty good.

Clean was a breeze with just Water. :) 

For art I used Marianne Nails n132

I did double stamping and made a stamping decal here.

Base- Nail polish first, then Acrylic Paints

Geometry Animal Nail Art Mani

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

It's been awhile since I've played around with 

my Acrylic Paints. So I decided I was way over due.

Acrylic Paint link from Amazon

SURFS UP

I applied a pea size amount of paint on a scrap piece of wax paper.

Nothing Fancy about the Brush I used.

It's actually lightly beaten up.

I used CICI & SISI Geometry 02 for art.

1.--I started off with 2 coats of Gesso by Funky Fingers

from Five Below Store.

2.--I then applied a Matte finish top coat by Fresh Paints,

Also from Five Below Store.

3.--I stamped with Dark Knight by Funky Fingers.

From Five Below Store.

4.-- I then applied the paints using some water to thin it out.

Before the paint fully dried I came back over to remove

some color and to leave behind a nice water ring.

5.--Once everything dried, I applied a Matte finish top coat.

**acrylic paints dry real fast :) <3 nbsp="" p="">

This was a fast and easy Mani.

Myonline Shop's Stamping Mat Review

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach.

I'm sure many of you have heard about these stamping mats.

And if not that's ok too. Because after all that time I finally 

got to try one personally.

Now there are many uses for these mats.

They all work in the same way.

You must lay a TC layer before you stamp.

Myonline Shop's Mat is  a High Quality Silicone Mat that is 

12 X 16 in size.

It is Acetone Resistant.

It is extremely Flexible and can be Folded up too. Or Rolled up if you prefer.

What is Different about Myonline Shop's Mat is the sample hands and nail shapes

on the sides and bottom of the Mat.  

There is plenty of space in the center for you to stamp in.

I like all the different nail names and shapes at the bottom.

It's a great reference if you ever decide to switch your shape up.

SURFS UP

You Must lay TC or a Polish color down first.

Once it's dry you can stamp away :)

*Now with some Mats you have to use certain kinds of stampers.*

NOT with this one you :)

All styles of stampers work on Myonline Shop's Stamping Mat.

One really neat thing I learned was with my Sticky Stamper.

*The one in the picture* Buy Myonline Shop as well.

What I learned was the stamped image only went ontop of the nail where I had TC.

The remaining image stayed on my stamper.

Which was pretty cool. It meant less clean up.

I colored my image in using Acrylic Paints.

And once it was dried I peeled up.

It really does peel off so easily and smoothly.

But if you leave them on to long.

Like an Hour. When you peel them off you have to be really carefully.

They will try to crack some when you start.

The Black nail tips work the same as the clear nails.

Now of course I must play around more and see what else I could do.

Top Right pic is just Plain Acrylic Paint.

NO BASE.

After the paint dries I applied a TC.

And once that dried.

BAM!  

A Decal was Born :) 

Here is the Mani I created using the Stamping Mat.

I Really Really Love my Final outcome.

I used jr 41 By Myonline Shop

 and BPL-032  By Born Pretty Store

The Stamping Mat is on SALE Right now for $10.00

I do not know how long the sale will run for tho.

But I do know Shipping is from the States.

So it comes pretty fast,

Have you tried a Stamping Mat yet?

I was pretty impressed myself.

If you make decal Mani's often this is for you. :)

Or if your tired of ruing your workstation surface or even Kitchen table than this 

is Defiantly for you too.

( I have personally had some polish accents on my kitchen table before)

I wish this was out years ago!.

It is so worth it!

Thank You for visiting My Beach.

I hope you return soon.
