Blue glitter chunks

I am just loving these nails! I don't know the proper name for these hexagon shaped glitters but they sure are cute. I put the white acrylic on the tips first then added the glitters and topped them with clear. There are lots of different color options with these also. Have a fabulous day!


More tiger stripes! I have already shown this on my blog with a different clients nails but these pictures turned out so that you can see the detail a little bit better. The tiger stripes can be added to any color just to add a little bit of fun. I've also painted the actual stripes using all different colors of paint. White acrylic with hot pink tiger stripes is one cool example....so if anyone wants that combo let me know and then I'll add your photo to my blog.

Let's Grow!

Seeing as there were quite of few of you who would like to participate in a nail growth programme, I decided to make a banner for it in the midst of cleaning my sty of a room :D

Here's what you will need to get started:

• Some sort of treatment/strengthening base coat suited to your nails e.g. peely, splitting.
• A file. But not one of them really thin ones that comes in a pack of ten or a cardboardy type one. Glass/crystal files are really awesome!
• Some polishes that you know you love and never let you down.
• Determination to get them looking beautiful.
• An account for MSN, add nailjuice@live.com and if you are able to send a message with the invitation to add me put something like you want to join the Let's Grow! programme. If you forget, that's ok :)
• A camera (optional) so we can see your progress!
  

Here's what will happen:

• We will have weekly meetings. I will try and figure out which day works out best for everyone and what time. I know the timezones will probably be a big issue so we may have to do another day as well for when I can be up in the morning n_n
• We can help eachother out :D Especially when you bit that nail and hate yourself for it (been there a million times)
• We can talk about what products are and aren't working for us.
• Make a goal for you.

Shall we try and make a meeting for tomorrow at 12pm (my time, lunchtime)? Just to sort out who's doing it and what you want to achieve ♥

Green MISA

Hi! Today I have more green's to show you. More from MISA.


Green With Envy - is a yellow green creme. Perfect in many ways. This will be a color that I will definitely wear again.


Let's Go Green - a bright neon green. I can never get enough of neon greens. They're so amazing. However, on the down side...after removing this color my nails were EXTREMELY yellow.. *gags* I guess that's what neon green does to your nails..


And finally I wanted to play with my konads again. I really love the zebra plates. I don't have as much trouble as I use to with konads. Slowly getting use to it.

Well, that's all I have for today. Plenty of more swatches to go!!

S - Pick Me Up Purple, originally uploaded by Steph NJ.

Is this picture inspiration to grow my nails again or what? lol.

At the moment, my nails are all higgidly-piggidly lengths, short as possible, some straight as a ruler, some rounded, gel in patches all over them, scratches all over the nail plate, so short that the corners of my nails hurt when I knock them, filed to the extreme, buffed to the extreme.

I can feel every millimetre of base coat when I put it on, that's how thin they are *shudder* it gives me goosebumps.

I've just been looking through my flickr photos, missing my pretty nails... at least they keep on growin' n_~

Any nail biters or shorties who want to join me on the way to long, healthy nails? I could sort of sort out some sort of programme of nail care and we could email or IM every week or so? Sounds a little strange, but I think it'd be nice :)
