Holographic Rainbow Sharpie Swirls + Tutorial

Hey stamp champs,

Press Sample

Purchased by Me

They say when you love something you should set it free.  I say beat it to death with a stick lolol. Kidding!  But seriously the Sharpies are back they come with yet another delicious holographic polish and shockingly another UberChic related nail art.   I swear it wasn't intentional.  I was actually making a promo for the new UberChic Beauty Jumbo CJS when I realized I should just create a whole tutorial using the nail art instead of showing one single nail.  The rest just kinda fell together as they say.

Holographic Sharpie Rainbow Geometric Nail Art + Tutorial

Holo everything!

Purchased by Me

Lol seriously how many holo mani's have I posted lately?  Am I posting too many - are you getting sick of it? Don't worry I'm getting ready to post a few more of my more complex mani's soon i.e. heavily detailed.  I realized I haven't been trying them of late.  BUT today it's holo rainbows and geometric stamping!  I actually got this idea from looking at a video from Simply Nailogical though I didn't use liquid sharpies it still came out really nicely once I added more alcohol to the scribbles (see tutorial).

Valentine's Day 2016: Leadlight Roses and Romance + Tutorial

Happy Valentine's Day lacqueristas,

I have no idea what you plans were.  I have homework out the wahzoo plus a date with Starbucks and business as usual.  However if you are scrambling around for some last minute nail art or just want to rock some pretty nails this next and almost last of my V-day series nail art is definitely for you!  Its all pretty and holographic and nude and soft and girly all swirled into one and with or without the love accent I think this look could work well year round!

Fab Ur Nails Spring Quatrefoil Nail Art (Alcohol Ink Method)

Hey stamperistas,

Finally freaking finally I'm starting to get a stronger grasp on this whole alcohol ink (EtoH ink) jazz. Its been a struggle, but because I have struggled I'm preparing an epic style video tutorial and post to help you guys from having the same frustrating problems I did.  In any event today I was able to get this going with a lot more ease that I had the last few attempts. Wait ease is the wrong word more like at the end I was able to figure out what the hell I was doing enough that the last 2 nails were less of a challenge to produce.  Essentially the entire premise of this nail art was based on a blog post I saw for paper crafting using alcohol inks.  The stamp the blogger used looked exactly like the quatrefoil pattern that's on one of my newer FUN plates and from there the rest was history....

Wallpaper Series: Damask Leadlght Lacquer Nail Art (Alcohol Ink Method)

Hey lacqueristas,

I've got like an ancient and yet new post for your all ;) For those that have been super duper long time followers of my blog, I know few and far between right, you may remember that I have always loved and been obsessed with wallpaper.  In fact I created a series here called the Wallpaper Series.  It died a slow neglected death :/ Gah! In any case today it's back! Why?  Because the minute I saw this Leadlight Lacquer plate from Messy Mansion I knew damask wallpaper nail art was headed my way, and yours as well ;)

Watercolor Tropical Abstract Nail Art (Alcohol Ink Method)

Hey lacqueristas,

Today I've got some soft and sweet nail art.   This mani may seem familiar to those of you who watched my Double Processing video.  Don't know what I'm talking about? Check it out here. Anyway today feels like the first time I'm going to take my newer Chez Delaney plates out for a spin though I've had them for a little bit now.  I love these plates and I'll be doing an in depth review on them shortly but for today let's hit the beach! Oh btw EtoH equals alcohol a swifter chemical abbreviation for than spelling it out constantly ;)
