The Shorties Return for Some More Action.

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome To My Beach

I have to admit that I am having loads of fun with these shorties.
I am going to go through all of my collections of plates and 
make atleast one  Mani with collection.
So far I have done Bundle Monster.
This time I tackled Cheeky XL.


SURFS UP

 I am kinda wishing more and more that I kept these all one length.
But I do want to show you that any size is a good size for art.
I used one coat of Orly Sweet Peacock.
Top Left: Random light sponging with light Teal Acrylic Paint.
Top Right: I added Silver and White Acrylic Paints Randomly.
Bottom Left: Top Coated.
Bottom Right: Stamped with Cheeky XLD
 This Mani does not look very appealing until you stamp it.
I am always amazed with Final Results.
I choose to Matte these so you can see all the different colors under the stamp better.

Having shorties has been a blast so far. 
Taking photo's has become a greater challenge right now.
I have long fingers and some of those fingers are double jointed and 
no matter what I do they never want to stay lined up for me.

Are you enjoying the Shorties as much as I am?

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

Art,Art and More Art

Hello Nail Surfers...

     Welcome to the Beach.

  I am sorry I have not posted on a daily basics. My goal is 3-4 times a week. I am always on FB you can find me Here and also on my Fan Page Here. I also post all my work on Pinterest too. Found Here.
 I completely understand if you do not do FB. I'll still be here to on my blog. :)  I am usually on my Ipad and I can not upload my pics from that.
 About a month ago I got an ImagiNail Art printer. I finally took it out of the box and hooked it all up. Yes its great and yes I love it. But I still really prefer to stamp and do free hand art. Am I crazy? You can use any image any design your little heart desires. Anything on Google,your personal photos ,anything you can imagine   its possible. Its a very fast process too, like seconds.Clean tho it not easy and the ink stains your skin and any exposed nail plate. I am really debating on sending it back because of these issues. Its not a cheap machine to be sitting around collected dust either.And it has to be used atleast 2X a week or the ink will dry up. The ink can be bought at any store that sell printer ink , however the special polish and IRC coatings is all special order. I have ups and downs on this machine. I have not practiced much with it either to make such a decision on true quality.Other than that I have been painting and arting my nails like crazy.
Today's pics are Mani's I have done recently.

SURFS UP......

HIGH TIDE WARNING!!!!





All the above are done with the printer.

Cheeky actual has alot of XL plates that have some really nice designs.
So if their Summer Set isn't you,check out the other plates they offer.
Cheeky's Site this site is cheaper in price than Amazon and may offer
different plate groupings.

"Slithering Mani"
Yet another Cheeky Plate. XL D
I have had my Cheeky XL plates before they even came to FB 
and before the name grew big.

Again I am very impressed in the detail.
I painted my nails with SH Extreme Wear "Wet cement"
than spot sponged on some darker grey,white,silver and a light grey
acrylic paints,then TC and stamp.

Of course I wanted to test my abilities and use different colors.

See what a little color does to an image?
It really came out nice. The yellow I'm not digging to much.
I need to work on that snake more for more details to pop.

 busy painting away. I hope you enjoyed my post.
