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! :)

Chester Cheeto Says " So Cheesy"

Hello Nail Surfs

Welcome to My Beach

Texture polishes are in for the moment.
And although I do not own any textured polishes I wanted to try something new.
So today I had a crazy thought and I wanted to see if it would really work.

I used Mash Nails Velvet Powder Dust.
And then I added a topcoat over it.
It dried nicely but I wanted to see what 2 coats would look like.
Here below is 2 coats of topcoats.
These no longer are soft and fluffy like Velvet.
They feel more like sand paper now.


SURFS UP...

On the Left is just plain Velvet dust.
On the is 2 coats of Topcoat followed by
MJ 14 Plate.
and yes... I used my "Trusty" Black polish by Mash Nails

This Plate has so many outstanding images.
If you would like to purchase this plate or any other of MyOnline Shop's Plates
please visit her order form here

So I basically made my own texture polish and saved.

Have you ever put your nail products to the full test?
Ever wonder what would happen if you added this or that?
I do..lol..

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

Under Armour Mani/ Flower Power Mani's

Hello Nail Surfers 

Welcome to My Beach


Have you ordered your new MJ Plates yet?
Or are they on there way now :) ?

I am very pleased with mine.
For my first Mani I wanted to use the Under Armour Logo.


SURFS UP....

MJ 14 
My "Trusty" Black Polish
I started this Mani with 1 coat of Pure Ice"Show Stopper
and used CG "Make an Entrance" for the gradient.

Now for those who follow me Via YouTube -you know from time-time
I'll use the lint roller trick to do another Mani without changing my base.
To see how check out my YouTube Video

So I used the trick again and made a Mani #2


I used MJ 10 and my "Trusty" Black polish 

Have you tried the lint roller trick yet?

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