Pony Corral / Re: Your favourite pony - now and then
« on: February 24, 2012, 02:45:00 PM »
As a kid I was only aware of G2s, and my favorite was Berry Bright. <3 I still love her! Now my favorites are Berry Bright, TE Speedy (<3 <3 <3), Blossomforth, and Fluttershy (because of her personality!). I'm also a fan of Bright Eyes because my dad always told me I was "bright eyed and bushy tailed". :P

How does one do water marbling? I mean without dipping faux nails into the water mixture and then putting them on your finger. Do you just dip your finger into the water mixture?

Just pour the colors you want in a cup of water, swirl it with a toothpick, and dip your finger! :) You have to do it really quickly because the polish will harden on the water within a few seconds. You can coat the skin around your nail with petroleum jelly or something similar so you can just wipe the excess off when the polish dries. It's messy but worth it. :)

I don't really care for the Princess Ponies. Their medallions don't symbolize anything, so they seem to plain and unoriginal to me, especially with their US names.

THIS. I have no plans to own them, ever.

I haven't tried the stamping set, but 'd be curious to.

I have to come up with something new to try for this weekend. Gonig to a bacelorette party this weekend. We're all wearing black, but I don't have any black nail polish at the moment. Hmmm

The stamping set is seriously tricky, but SO worth it for french manicures. I mean, really really worth it. I have a pic somewhere of a Christmas manicure I did with Konad... I'll try and find it. :)

What about a colorful ombre look? I dig ombre so hard, I guess I'm biased because I have ombre hair. :D

ETA: This is last week's nail art... white crackle on grey and a teal accent. Ignore the messiness on my ring finger and the big ol' splotch of manic panic on my finger.

Kiwi, you registered on my 12th birthday! :D

I registered on May 05, 2007, 04:00:00 AM. I'd say the time isn't right because I would have been in school still. I have absolutely no recollection of registering.

looks beautiful Zenna! i love seche vite and that manicure! i want to try it with a deep teal now.

I tried it with several shades of pink first and noticed that it hardly shows up at all with light colors.  I had a deep red/pink for Valentine's Day and then switched to black after.  The black definitely shows up best.  So just go for the darkest teal you can find.

Newsprint nails are my next project!

I have an almost black teal I'll have to use. :) A tip with the newsprint nails is to not soak your nail too long in the alcohol or it will kind of make it tacky and the newsprint will stick to the actual polish. Post pics when you finish the newsprint manicure! :D

Anyone use Konad stamping kits?

I love yoga. I use YogaToday.com because I took classes long enough to master the basics and get to an intermediate level. I really enjoy doing some of the lighter practices before bed. I have been practicing since November, and usually practice anywhere from twice to five times a week - but lately I've been on a break because I tore a muscle in my leg. I can't wait to get back into it though! :)

« on: February 17, 2012, 08:49:32 PM »
the last movie i rented was "sucker punch" with emily browning... i did not enjoy. i'm not sure why i even thought i would... :P the last movie i watched in theaters was "the woman in black", and it was alright... i had a panic attack during it so i missed a few parts, but it seemed kind of predictable. :/ this post is super negative so i'm going to add a smiley face now. :)
