Happy New Year!

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

Happy New Year!

We had an amazing 2013 with all the new nail products and  new Company's

that joined the Nail World.

Products are getting better and better as the months go on.

Company's are getting more competitive.

I see 2014 being the year that Nail Art hits it's ultimate high.

New trends will come and go.

And there always be that one hit wonder  product.

Nail stamping is spreading like a virus.

Common stores are starting to carry name brand stamping plates and products.

Pretty soon more and more people in your community will be infected

with this amazing fun virus.

What do you think the Nail World will bring this year?

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

by Mash Nails

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! :)

Happy Mother's Day

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

I would like to take this moment and say

"Happy Mother's Day "

 to ALL the Mom's out there. :)

I did a Mani dedicated for All the Mom's.

Enjoy.

SURFS UP....

I used Fashion Disaster Plate FD 2

These plates work amazing.

I only have 2 of the 6 in this set.

She also has other plates that she sells.

Which can be found Here..Fashion Disaster

I used Sinful Unicorn as a base and stamped in..

Yep. You guessed it.. My "trusty" Black from Mash Nails

and I used W`N`W Red on accent Nail and stamping.

On the Pinkie I used Cheeky Beauty Jumbo Plate 6

Have a Wonderful Day!

Thank you for surfing my wave.

I hope you enjoyed your visit at My Beach.

Fun and Simple

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

Have you ever used a special polish in a way it was not 

originally interned for?

I am a nail art rule breaker.

I love finding new uses for nail products.

SURFS UP....

IP Mash 8

I have been really enjoying these diamond shape gems.

And of course I must use my "Trusty" Black stamping polish.

I topped this Mani off with Mash's Matte Polish.

Now here's the kicker!!

I used the Matte coat right over my stamping and "No Smearing"

"No dragging or distorting of the image. This is another one of those

"Must have" products.

I used the Blue Magnetic Polish as regular polish to match my gradient.

And because I did this over a Yellow Base the 2 colors mixed together formed a

green in the gradient. So it appears I used 3 colors for this but I did not.

To purchase any of the "Trusty" Mash Black Stamping Polish,

Mash's Matte Top Coat

Mash's Diamond Gems

Mash's Blue Metallic Polish

 Visit..Mash Nails

Do you still pull out your older plates and use them?

I always keep the plates handy just like my others.

Changing Tribes

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

I am honored to receive some "New Plates" to try out.

Yes.. more plates.. This is a self owned Company.

She calls herself Fashion Disaster 101

She has just started out and has a few plates already.

These Plates start with FD 

She has a store page and sells various products.

I was able to pick which plate I would like try out.

It was a hard decision to pick just one.

I choose FD 3. FD 2 was already coming my way.

SURFS UP.....

I used FD 3along with my "Trusty" Black stamping polish

Mash Nails

These are the 2 plates I received.

I was really amazed on how great they stamped.

No issues with scrapping or stamping.

All the images tested above where the first try.

I am a stickler when it come to testing a plate out.

I can not find any faults on these plates.

These do come with a blue film on them and there is no backings.

 All these shades in "One" bottle of polish.

This is the color inside.

And this is the color it changes to outside.

I was able to capture this Mani as it was changing back to the inside color.

I picked up a few of these color changing polishes.

To purchase the FD 2 or FD 3 Plate  please check out

Fashion Disaster 101 for these and other nail products.

These plates are different and the images are quite rare.

Are these plates  that you would add to your collection?

Duck Dynasty Mani

Hello Nail Surfers 

Welcome to My Beach

I had received some water decals from Chaos-Nail-Design-Decals 

I really wanted to think outside the box with these decals.

Most others are just placing decals over plain solid bases.

And they do look great over plain bases too.

But of course I wanted to test the waters and try something new with them.

With Duck Dynasty decals I really could of done many different types of bases.

But I wanted to try stamping over them.

Now it is recommend to apply the decal over a light base.

With an Olive Green,Grey and Black Camo print over a White base

 I wasn't following the rules already. 

So to insure that these decals would stay true to there appearance I 

used White Acrylic paint and sponged to circles in the area I wanted to place

the decal. By me doing this I new that my background art would not

show through my decals. 

Once it was all dried I applied my top coat.

SURFS UP....

I used Cheeky Jumbo D

MyOnline Shop's Special Olive  Green  and Grey stamping polish

along with my "Trusty" Black from Mash Nails

Oh.. And did you know that Funky Fingers is "3 FREE" ?

I have tried many different brands of white polishes and all

of them having the same ending results.. Streaking and bald spots.Oh and uneven ness.

Funky Fingers give me none of these issues.. So when I spot the White or Black

I grab a bunch. This is also the White I always stamp in.

These Decals do come with an instruction sheet.

It's fairly simple to do.

*Do not remove the clear plastic off the decal*

Here are some samples of more designs  by Chaos Nail Design Decal

There's even more on her Store page, which can be found here

Which is your favorite?

Would you wear a water Decal Mani?

These would come in so handy for those insta Mani times.

Heavy Mtal

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

I have many different brands and shades of polishes.

Some are "Cheappies" and others not so cheap.

I mainly buy on Sale and use a Sally's coupon.

But there are times that a color my catch my eye and I must have it now.

Then of course with a mobile coupon always handy I have to buy more than

one polish to maximize my coupon.

But when I did this Mani I was totally amazed.

2 cheap polishes. ( Wet`N`Wild) looked  so amazing together. They painted

on so smoothly and they lasted along time before any tip wear even  started to show..

I just love how reasonable priced products work just as well and some even better

than expensive products. 

 How about You?

SURFS UP.....

For Nail Polish  that goes as cheap as $.50  (On Sale)

Look so good as this did, I should buy more W`N`W.

And these 2 bottles are over 2 years old already.

I truly was in Ahhh over this Mani. It stayed plain like this for 2 days.

I finally stamped over it so I could move on to the next Mani.

I used SC "Heavy Metal" and my "Trusty" black polish by Mash Nails

I used Cheeky's 2013 New Jumbo Plate 5 & 8

I finished the Mani off with Mash Nails Matte Top Coat.

Have you had much success with cheap polishes?

Orange Plaid French Mani

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

The weather here has finally let up and Spring is finally here.

Today's Mani was part of a Nail Challenge from a group I am

apart of on Facebook.

The Challenge was Orange base.

I knew right from the start I wanted to do French Tips and my accent 

nail a full nail. Now the tricky part was what image or images were going

to be the lucky winners. I have been wanting to use Mash Nails M50 for 

a long time. And with my nails being as long and wide as they are I have

more challenges using alot of the common plates. But when you start

thinking outside the box those images are workable but in different ways.

I used this image sideways just so it would fit my nail.

SURFS UP......

Left to Right.. Mash Nails Strengthener ,Orange Scented Polish (2 coats),

"Trusty" Black Stamping Polish and their Quick Dry Top Coat.

And yes those are also Mash Nails Fimo Canes.

I was quit pleased with how this Mani turned out..

The heart shaped Fimo Canes on the accent nail remind me of buttons on a shirt

or in this case a Flannel shirt.

Have you tried using your stamping images in different ways?

Whats your take on Fimo Canes?
