Black/Silver & Toothpicks

Hello gorgeous ladies,

So, I was messing around again with the dragging method where you drag one color over another with a toothpick.  I put silver nail art polish as a base, then I put 3 puddles of black polish on top and took a toothpick and just made a design.  It kind of looks like crackle polish.  I like it.  In the space I left open with no polish, I used China Glaze white cap which has gold flecks in it.

Excuse the dry hands, I'm on a special diet where I can't use any oils.  But, I'm losing weight light crazy so I'll just have to be dry and crusty for a few more weeks lol.  Anyway, let me know what you think.

Entries to Madam Luck's 3000+ Subscriber Contest

Hello everyone, I attempted to enter Madam Luck's contest.  I kind of did this one for fun with no expectations.  I have never done a makeup tutorial, heck, most of the time I don't even wear it.  But because I was having a brain fart when I read the instructions, I ended doing a nail design and makeup design when I really didn't have to.  Oh well.  The contest is that you either create a nail design inspired by a makeup look or vice versa.  I did both.  For the nails, you really should at least watch the beginning of the video to see the color (which I had a hard time capturing with pictures).  I used the dragging method.  For the makeup, I decided to go very dramatic.  I'm linking both videos at the bottom.

Dragging method to create Marble look + Naked Nails

Hi everyone,  hope you have had a lovely weekend!!

I wanted to try dragging.  Actually it's the same general technique that I use to make my mosaic christmas ornaments. I use dragging, and what I call cross hatching as well as a brushed look.  You can see them on my website which is linked on the sidebar if you're interested.

Anyhoo, first, here is my naked nails. I just started a new strengthener and conditioner to help with my peeling will let you know in a few months if it works.

Instead of just dragging across with a straight line, I used curvy lines and sometimes cross hatching.
