Welp it's Sunday, but I promise you this is not the start of a tragedy, i.e. despite the title my post is nothing like the movie Sophie's Choice. Chelsea is a little girl who goes to the elementary school I sometimes volunteer at. She is precocious, she calls me Ms. T (no relation to Mr.), asks me 1000 million questions about all the incisions on my chest, and happens to love stars! The theme for the AIS this week is let someone else pick your plate. I chose Chelsea since she is also always asking me about my nails. What do you guess the star loving precocious seven year old Chelsea chose? Oh and let me also mention since she saw my nails for the LDTTWC Day 1 she has been begging me to do a water marble ;)

| So what's the deal with the SH Diamond Flash? It's supposed to make holo's look more holo. It's a bit hard to tell here especially because I lost the sun today before I could take pictures but it looks okay so far. I'll have to try it a bit more before I can give a fair review. |
Well Chelsea was happy with the end result what about you? Honestly I never thought I'd end up doing marbling and stamping back to back from last week to this week, but this mani had to meet Chelsea's approval before posting. And let me tell you for some reason she really got stuck on me doing the exact same marble she saw from the challenge. It was a feat convincing her that holo's are in fact just as pretty and fit the concept better.

| That holo water marble swept Chelsea right off her tiny feet! 1-0 Tamira:Chelsea hehe :) |
So this ends my posts for the week. Stay tuned for Day 4 of my LDTTWC and some seasonal nail art. Thanks for reading and see you next post! Toodles....
That watermarble nail is nuts!!! Amazing stamping too)))
ReplyDeleteThank you dollface! Haha holo's are actually quite difficult to marble with because they dry so quickly and some really don't spread out in the water, but I was able to get it done somehow :)
DeleteI love everything about this mani!! Thanks Chelsea for the approval!!
ReplyDeleteHahah Vicky she already has enough ego! Honestly she tried to tell me how to run this whole mani! I was like girl just pick a plate. Well nevertheless I got to hear her say "wow" so I feel like it was a job well done :)
DeleteWoah love the star stamp! That water marbling is great! Great colours & a really pretty design! Well done!
ReplyDeleteWowh thank you darling! Effusive praise! I wanted to capture a galaxy like feel for these nails. I've done star mani's before and even tutorials so I wanted to make something just a touch different. I'm glad you like it :)
