Saran Wrap Mani

So I tried the Saran Wrap mani, I have seen three different way to do it:

1. Paint your base color then tap the color on with the saran wrap
2. Tie-dye: drop the polish onto the saran wrap and fold the saran wrap in half and pat it to mix the colors, unfold the wrap and place your nail in the polish and pull your nail away.
3. Paint your base, before the base is completely dry paint the second color then pat with the wrap.

I tried 1 and 2. The first way is much like sponging with minimal clean up, and the second way is very messy and reminds me of water marbling with lots of clean up.

I did a video on my attempt which can be found on my YouTube Channel . In the video you can see that I used two holographic polishes (Nailnation 3000 Fab-A-Doodle #854 and 4Get Me Not #850).... Bad idea! You can't distinctly tell the different colors. Here are those results.

 I then took cream colors (Finger Paints Art You Kidding Me and Sinful Colors Amethyst) closely matching the holo colors (Nailnation 3000 Fab-A-Doodle #854 and 4Get Me Not #850) and here is the results. This time I only did the first method.

   and here are some side by side comparisons.

I think this is one that will take some practice to perfect. 

Don't forget the Nailnation 3000 giveaway ends on the 30th. Have you entered?

Introducing Lo!

Hey all, I wanted to share some awesome mani's that my friend Lo has done!

She is a wonderfully sweet woman and I wish I had her talent. She is currently playing with the one stroke brush method and is doing great things with it. I have tried and failed numerous times (my 7 year old daughter does it better then me lol) and vowed to practice more but alas I never seem to have the time to. Anyway with out further adieu here is some of Lo's beautiful works of art!

(These are not in any kind of order just random ones that I picked out to share)

If you would like to see more of her work please follow her on Instagram @BruisedUpDollie

Who's Neffy?

Neffy is ME! :)

I took the name Neffy 8 years ago when I was playing World of Warcraft. I played for a few years then quit when I moved back home from the Army. Shortly after moving back home I started to play again and took the name once more. Even though I have stopped playing I am still friends with some people from that game and it has become a nickname. 

Neffy is short for Nefertiti. 
If you don't know who Nefertiti is here is a short excerpt from (http://www.biography.com/people/nefertiti-9421166):

Nefertiti, whose name means "the beautiful one has come," was the queen of Egypt and wife of Pharaoh Akhenaten during the 14th century B.C. She and her husband established the cult of Aten, the sun god, and promoted Egyptian artwork that was radically different from its predecessors. A bust of Nefertiti is one of the most iconic symbols of Egypt.

So thats where I got the name Neffy.

NailNation 3000- No Rest For The Wicked

So here is my first swatch/review post.... Maria with NailNation 3000 on Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/user/NailNation3000) and NailNation on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/NailNation3000) was kind enough to send me some of her polish. She does sell them on Facebook and through Llarowe (http://shop.llarowe.com/). 

Today we have NailNation 3000 - No Rest For The Wicked. It's an awesome black holo! This is two coats over one coat of black.

This polish has a great formula, I only added a second coat to give more depth to the holo.

Happy New Year

Happy 2013 to you!

It is a new year which means new things.... Blogs for instance. I am new to the blogging world so please bare with me as I learn the ropes.

So with this being a new blog, I have a few questions.

1) How often would you like to see post from me?
2) What kind of posts (ie. reviews, swatches, daily life)?
3) How many is too many pictures for one blog post?

 Any tips would be helpful and appreciated.
