Hello everyone!!<br />
<br />
Okay so some of you may not know this, but I'm a messy confused disorganized hippy! Most nail art girls I follow have lovely shelves or nail polish racks with all their polishes and nail art tools arranged by colour or brand and it's soooo nice... I'm the complete opposite. I have a shelf rack full of random stuff, a suitcase full of more stuff and several other bags and boxes of random shit under my bed or shoved away somewhere impractical.<br />
<br />
I don't like to see things go to waste so when I have an almost empty bottle of polish that I can't use I don't throw it away. That would be stupidly dumb.<br />
I get stir-crazy a lot and I have to be creative to keep myself insane in the membrane. But sometimes I just can't be arsed to paint a super-mental complex nail art design. Know what I mean? So I went crazy with a few half empty bottles and made a couple of new unique colours, as you can see here....<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Here's another design I made by layering the purple franken I used in the video over one of my favourite matt glitters: Accessorize, Leopard Moth. It looked so cool on my newly cut "short nails" and I thought that just a simple accent nail would suffice.<br />

<br />
<br />
I'm an extremely eccentric person and I usually like to have something insanely mental and weird, or controversial and rainbowy on my nails. But I know that a lot of people who love nail art still like to be classy and not draw too much attention to themselves. Those people do cross my mind a lot which is why I've started doing a few simple and easy manicures. Like I said, variety is the spice of life!<br />
<br />
I will ALWAYS be an insanely mental rainbowcat and I have wayyyy too many crazy colourful ideas I still haven't shared yet so don't panic, I haven't suddenly turned into a nun!<br />
But let me know what you think. If you guys like these occasional sweet and simple nails then let me know and I'll continue to share them :)<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading<br />

I personally think most designs can be done on any length of nail, long or short. You just have to either paint it smaller, or slightly less of the design. It still looks awesome whatever size it is :)<br />

<br />
<br />
I had a few comments asking if this one could be done on short nails.<br />
<br />
<br />
So I retrieved four of my smallest practice nails and cut them as short as I could. I think this design was actually easier to paint on short nails because I did the heart in only two strokes and it wasn't difficult to get a straight line for the chain with less space.<br />

I hope this will remind everyone that you don't need pterodactyl talons to wear fabulous nail art :)<br />

<br />
Every year, in the land of the internetz, February comes and everyone starts being all romantic and talking about how AWESOME Valentine's day is and that they're going to have a romantic evening with the love of their life and everything is pink and fluffy and everyone's sooooo in love...<br />
And then there are other people who don't always feel the love. Valentine's day turns into "Single Awareness Day" and the people spreading the love and boasting about their hot dates will cause the lonely people to be even more depressed.<br />
That doesn't mean we shouldn't be proud and full of love on Valentine's day, or any other day. But this year I thought I'd spare a thought for anyone who may have been through sad times while everyone else seems to be meeting their Prince Charming and leaving you behind...<br />
But I did it in a creative, weird and cute way because I didn't want to make everyone depressed. LOL! For those of you who didn't come from YouTube, here is the tale of Lola and Dave.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/JYLX74WruOo?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Lola and Dave are fictional characters that I created and it is not based on a true story. It's a sad story I made up. I always thought it was sad when balloons get lost and float up into the sky on their own, and end up tangled up in trees... it's almost like seeing a crushed up car. Like a wreckage of something that was once pretty and made everyone smile.<br />
<br />
I've never fallen in love with a balloon and lost them to archery enthusiasts. That was just an example of many possible obstacles life might throw at you.<br />
But I know what it's like to have someone who means the entire world to you. Someone you can't imagine being without. Almost as if you couldn't breathe without them. Someone who is your everything.<br />
I know what it's like to have all that, and to then have nothing. Over and out. On my own with no one to laugh with or hold my hand. Like someone sweeping the carpet from under your feet.<br />
And it's a million times worse when everyone's celebrating their love and getting romantic without you.<br />
It's not so bad though. Who says you need a boyfriend or girlfriend to complete you? Valentine's day is all about sharing the love you have for people. You love your mum, dad, friends, sistaz from anutha mistaz, etc... right?<br />
<br />
Perhaps Lola was repaired with duct tape. Perhaps Dave was stuck in the trees for years waiting for another lady balloon to untie him. The point is, Dave healed in time and found happiness in the end.<br />
<br />
Some people float away forever with their childhood sweethearts. It took me twenty three years to find my balloon. Some people don't find their balloons for 50 years.<br />
Some are greedy and have LOTS of balloons!! Hahaha.<br />
Wherever and however slowly the wind takes you, it's always worth it in the end.<br />
Both Dave and Lola are happy again and I've heard they're friends on Facebook now too.<br />
Happy Valentines to everyone in the world. And massive snogs to everyone who isn't blood related to me. ;)<br />

Ok so I've done <a href="http://youtu.be/BgRFB8V533g" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">unicorn farts</a>. I've done <a href="http://youtu.be/76onlZ62PVQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">unicorn drool</a> and I've done <a href="http://youtu.be/qk8viDnyxe8" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">unicorn germs</a>.<br />
I will eventually do actual unicorn nails, but until then I have made it my mission to paint as many unicorn substances as possible.<br />
<br />
Whilst video surfing, I came across this <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w86hSfqA6rg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">old cutepolish kiwi design</a>. I remember watching it aaaaages ago and I thought it was pretty neat but I've never tried it out or re-created it.<br />
<br />
That's when I thought: If they were rainbow, they could be...<br />
UNICORN BUTTHOLES!!<br />
<br />

<br />
So yeah. That's how you turn a piece of fruit into a piece of unicorn.<br />
<br />
OOH a piece of unicorn... ooh a piece of unicorn..... ooh a piece of unicorn.... ooh a piece of unicorn...<br />
<br />
STOP!! IT'S A TRAP!!!!<br />

Glarties.I have been nomming on Smarties and painting my nails with Orly "Sunglasses At Night" which was sent to me by one of my YouTube besties <a href="http://www.arcadianailart.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ArcadiaNailArt</a> cos she's cool and safe and mental and completely awesome.<br />
<br />
I love to arrange things in rainbow order. Especially Smarties.<br />
<br />
I was feeling a bit nostalgic. Remember when Smarties had plastic different coloured lids with letters on? I used to collect them and write rainbow words. I didn't always have every letter though so they'd say things like "hip hup hop" or "dip dap dop"...<br />
<br />
I always ended up with lots of p's and d's. Or are they both the same? H was quite popular too...<br />
<br />
And then the B@$T@7D$ changed them and now they have paper lids. No more fun games where you whack the empty tube on the table and see what you hit when the lid shoots off. They still have the plastic lids on the big tubes, like the one I'm holding here, but it's just not the same. My lid was orange today and had a picture of a raccoon on it. I can't spell anything with that!<br />
<br />
DAMN YOU, SMARTIES!!<br />
<br />
I still love you though, because you're rainbowy and sweet. And you DO always have the answer. You're who I turn to in my hour of need.<br />
Thank you, Smarties.<br />
Your lids will always be missed, but your sugary goodness will still always be nommed.<br />

It's been a while since I wrote here and I thought I'd share a couple of my latest lazy leopards.<br />
<br />
I've seen a lot of girls who make indie custom polishes and they always seem to make these weird matte glitters, and glitters in creme polishes. I love the effect but I don't usually buy nail polish over the internet, especially when it's just ONE bottle and it's being shipped from halfway across the world.<br />
But I found this one in Superdrug by Accessorize. Conveniently named "Leopard Moth". It's actually amazing and applies smoothly and perfectly without any effort or glitter manipulation. I had just spent about an hour painting my left hand for a tutorial and lost track of time so this design was kind of like, shit I've got fifteen minutes before I have to leave the house and I can't go out with one plain hand. So I just scribbled some quickie leopard spots on the tips and topcoated...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I went out to see a kick-ass band called Alabama 3 in Bristol and my outfit was black and pink, cat inspired and slightly gothic. I guess I should have taken a pic of my outfit and pink leopard eye make up but I ended up getting really drunk and forgot. Hey ho I'm only human.. WOO!!<br />
I quite like them in this order. Makes a change from the thumb and ringfinger "accent nail" jobby.<br />

So my boyfriend went off to see a boring-ass movie with Wayne, while me and Jenny had some much needed nail painting times. Jenny likes dark things, like sketchy fairies and mushrooms and shimmery purple stuff, as opposed to pretty hearts and rainbow sweetness but she said I could do whatever I wanted. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Whoever I'm painting, I still like to try and suit their style and sense of taste so I just had this random thought and I said, let's change the absolute fuck out of the Rainbow Death Cupcakes and make them less "Me" and more "You"!!! </div>
<div align="center">
So it kinda got dark halfway through and the lighting in the kitchen was REALLY crap. I feel quite proud that I managed to somehow still paint. Halfway through this half lit epic concentrated struggle, Jenny realised she had a lamp, retrieved it and we all lived happily ever after! </div>

The possibilities are endless with cupcakes. The possibilities are endless with animal print too. <br />
OMG it's just too exciting to handle. <br />
<br />
But now I want to make real life animal print sketchy cupcakes. I wonder if anyone would eat them. <br />
I would xD<br />

TEE-HEE!!AHEM: DISCLAIMER! Do not read if you're a total nun who likes to moan about suggestive words or sentences. Kthanks :D<br />
<br />
Firstly, I had a Bad Case of Blue Balls on my hands...<br />
<br />
AND THEN I WAS COVERED IN BABY GRAVY!!<br />
<br />
Yup, my nail mail came today and I am wearing two epic colours from the adult content filled <a href="http://dollishpolish.bigcartel.com/category/dolly-does-polish-collection-mature-content" target="_blank">"Dolly Does Polish"</a> collection. <br />
<br />
I literally got home from work to find my postman had casually wedged the package as far into my letterbox as it would fit... <br />
<br />

Seriously. That's the new logo I have designed for the postal services in Portishead. Shuddup it doesn't look anything like the original. It's got a new hat. See!<br />
<br />
ANYWAAAAAYYYYY.....<br />
<br />
<br />
I knew exactly what it was and I painted them on my nails straight away!! I can't completely capture how shiny and pretty they are IRL but I tried my best. I found them super easy to apply and was satisfied after two coats of each. I think these two colours go fabulously together!<br />

Yup, both my hands are different lengths. Variety is the spice of life! <br />
I'm really happy with these colours. I don't usually buy nail polish on the internet but these won't be my last purchase from Dolly I know that for sure!<br />
<br />
<br />
Shiny things. So excited to share these <3<br />
<br />
Love you guys, thanks for reading <br />

<br />
And it was the most EPIC DAY EVER!! <br />
<br />
The weather was like, the hottest I've ever experienced yet the queues were actually okay. I just totally had to share these snaps with you guys. <br />
<br />
I was at work [no nail polish allowed] till past 11pm the night before and had to leave to catch the bus at 6am the next day so I had NO time to paint Alton Towers nails. Haha. So I grabbed four colours that matched my outfit and a topcoat and painted them on the bus. <br />
<br />
Here are my "Bus Nails" - I think that considering I painted them at 60mph on a clunky Bakers Dolphin coach with absolutely nothing to lean on, they didn't turn out too bad. I was leant sideways against the window with my hand spread against the seat in front of me when painting with my left hand. It was like a fun "gameshow challenge" and I WON because I didn't come out covered in slime. YEAH!!<br />
<br />

Ok I'm an Alton Towers whore and I learn where cameras are. Mister DQ has never been before in his life so it was all new...WHEEE!<br />
<br />
<strong>Air.</strong> <br />
<br />
We're strapped in kinda lying down under the track so it's like we're "flying". Last time I tried a Superman pose but it looked more like I was trying to punch someone in the face. So I went with this instead...<br />

0-100kmph in 2.5 seconds. The ride is meant to represent a racing car... or I think it might be a getaway car... the camera flashes the SECOND you shoot off the station. This is what I do when I drive past police cars and speed cameras. It means "woohoo I'm speeding with no hands look at my sexy naaaaiiiillllssss!!"<br />

<strong>Thirteen.</strong><br />

New ride. Never been on it before. Won't give away the secret. Trust me, the shock value of not knowing is REALLY worth it. Had no idea where the camera was. My other half is snapped mid-sentence saying "SWEEEEEEEET!!"<br />

<br />
<strong>Oblivion.</strong><br />
<br />
The worlds first vertical drop coaster. Been on it about 30 times and the queuing and the suspension before the drop shits me up the same EVERY time. Best ride, ever. Some friends have described it as "Topping yourself, except you don't die and it's EPIC!" I think it's kinda like driving a car over a cliff edge. Except you fly up through a tunnel at the last minute instead of crashing.<br />
<br />
Mister DQ wussed out. My 38 year old boyfriend watched 12 year old girls walk past into the queue and said "I don't wanna go on it" Yeah some stuff was said and cursed by me and our friends and he eventually wussed back in cos he knew he'd regret it. We live about 250 miles away from this place man. I would NEVER have let him forget that. <br />
<br />
Our train had moved about 2 metres from the station and the ride broke down. That was funny. He changed his mind again but once you've left the station it's too late. HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! <br />
<br />
It didn't take long to fix, the ride happened and I thought that this pose would be soooo perfect to go with whatever was on his face [which I couldn't see] and it totally did! <br />

<br />
Actual Rule:<br />
<br />
Never go to Alton Towers without going on Oblivion. If you've never been, just obey this rule and you'll understand. <br />
<br />
And in other news, I was totally just accepted for YouTube partner. YAYYYY!<br />
<br />
Thanks so much to everyone who has ever watched my videos. I'll always be super grateful and never forget all the awesomeness and how everyone's inspired me. I couldn't have done it without you <3 <br />

I Multi-Task. Sorta.<span lang="">No matter what goes on in my life, I have ALWAYS found time to be creative. I can't live without it. When times are hard it's the best thing ever to escape into a magical world of colourful pretty things :) <br />
<br />
My dream job is not to be a waitress. But it's actually a really fun local job that I love and the people there are just as insane as me. But working 37 hours a week means I have less time to paint my nails. Obviously in a kitchen we're not allowed to wear nail polish so I'm having to be wayyyy more organised with my time in order to paint my nails between work... <br />
<br />
I found this awesome UK based website called<strong> </strong><a href="http://www.themakeupbagonline.co.uk/" target="_blank"><strong>The Make Up Bag</strong></a> through a Facebook post. This site has LA COLORS for £1.29. If you're from America then that may not sound amazing to you. But here in the UK you'd be suuuper lucky to find nail polish like that so cheap. I bought about 11 bottles and it cost me roughly £13-£14. Best deal ever. I love them all. <br />
<br />
I had no time to make a video on this day but these three colours are Magnetic Force [red one] Summertime [pink one] and Shock [yellow one]. <br />
<br />
I used slightly darker acrylic paints for the leopard dots. Hope you like my shifty summer quickie!! <br />

Jenny went to a salon to have some sneaky acrylics done. So she greeted me on Friday night with a lovely canvas to paint these flames on. <br />
<br />
We hang out and have some beers and discuss unicorns and politics and paint nails. I did not intend for these to even look like this. I started painting the outline of some flames on the second or third finger and Jenny was like, "yay wow cool" and we said some funny shit and made some strange noises and I moved onto the next nail without finishing it... It was a total disorganised slightly intoxicated mess. We chatted and laughed our asses off about unpublishable weirdness whilst I went backwards and forwards painting random nails... <br />
<br />
And this is how they turned out. <br />

I found a LOL pic on Facebook that said "YOU LOOK FINE" above the bathroom sink instead of a mirror. I have no mirror above my bathroom sink and I'm so freakin inspired right now. <br />
<br />
Once I've finished editing my videos I'm totally gonna have a bathroom sesh with my paintbrush. TEE-HEEEE!!!!<br />
<br />
All this means I'm gonna have to actually get out of bed in the mornings. <br />
<br />
Restaurants don't have early shifts.

<br />
I've noticed Autism has become more and more recognized in the years I've been on this planet. Everybody who has been to school has probably known other kids with "special needs" who are a bit different. Maybe a bit weird, lonely or abnormally quiet. <br />
<br />
I do not wish to post personal stuff and big gory details about everything that's happened in my life, but I still have a lot to say... I think. <br />
<br />
I am not writing this for attention or to jump on the bandwagon and say "oooh Autism awareness day let's get in on some fame or something cos it's like, the in-thing that everyone's talking about" Hence why I didn't post these nails on YouTube. <br />
<br />
Trust in me when I say: I know EXACTLY what I'm talking about, and I'm deadly serious. I am writing this from the heart and with MUCH respect to anyone who may read it.<br />
<br />
If you're aware of something and you understand it, you probably won't have a problem with it. Everybody at some point has something they don't know how to do. Everyone has struggled, or is maybe still struggling with some part of their life, or their mind in some way. Some have worse times than others. Everyone is so different, and that's why everyone is so great! <br />
<br />
Autism is not a disease, nor is it contagious or curable. Some of the quiet, lonely kids you knew may have had Autism, or Aspergers. Aspergers is a mild form of Autism. Different people have it at different levels. It's really common in boys. A boarding school near where I lived ten years ago which was specifically for boys and girls on the Autistic spectrum had 45 boys and 7 girls. That's a huge difference. <br />
<br />
I will say when I went to college at first, for two years I did an employment extension course which had people from ages 15 to 45 with all kinds of different reasons for being there. Some had left school early and didn't get good grades, or don't know what to do for a job. Some had disabilities. Physical and psychological. There were girls, boys, women and men with dyslexia, cerebal palsy, Down's syndrome, anger issues, hard of hearing, and of course, a few people with Autism and Aspergers. <br />
<br />
Throughout those years we ALL went on trips together, holidays, team and confidence building classes, hairdressing, car maintenance, maths... and we all hung out together and had love and respect for everyone. In college I noticed people aren't as mean as they are in school. Some of us obviously were given shit from time to time, but that happens so everyone in life. But those two years were the best years of my life. I met so many amazing people there, and learned that whatever kind of "special needs" you may have. What you may lack in one area, you most likely KICK ASS at something else. That's why everyone is equal. Don't dismiss the weird kid. Go and be weird with them. They might be a stupid c*nt - you've got that risk with everyone. But you'll most likely learn that they're really cool and awesome and you could end up with a friend for life.<br />
<br />
People with Autism appear strange, lonely or unusual. Because... yeah it's hard to explain. <br />
<br />
It's almost like being in a different world to everyone, even though they're with you and you're talking to them having a normal conversation. Facial expressions and body language aren't always clear. Sometimes not noticeable at all. Someone with Autism might not understand that you're upset when your tone of voice changes dramatically. They might just carry on with whatever they're doing without giving you a second look. And obviously that sometimes looks really rude or obnoxious, but they're absolutely NOT being rude at all. If you don't know that someone's upset, you wouldn't think of asking or apologising. <br />
<br />
Very stubborn, specific and sometimes obsessive minds. I know that things usually have to be specific and go a certain way. Some more than others. And if someone throws a spanner in the works and what you're doing ends up going in a different direction, it may be a lot harder to cope with than some people take for granted. Sometimes really hard. Even for the small things like, your bus taking a slightly different route and dropping you off at the bus stop on the other side of the road. In severe cases, something like that could be impossible to cope with. To the point where you have to sit in a slightly different chair for work/school today and that could end up wrecking your whole day. It's more of a big deal than some people imagine. Like if there was a kink in a train track... the train might just stop. Until somebody can find a solution so it can start going again.<br />
<br />
AMAZING MEMORY SKILLS! Usually the higher you are on the Autistic spectrum, the more awesome of a photographic memory you probably have. A young Autistic boy flew over London ONCE in a helicopter and then he drew a picture of it. When compared to the birds eye view photo of London, he had got every single detail perfect. Every building, every road, you could almost say that he traced it. But he didn't. He saw it once and remembered it. <br />
<br />
I've heard of a few Autistic musically talented people. Some can listen to a song for the first time and then play it note for note straight away on the piano. It's really weird, but completely true, and amazing. <br />
<br />
Okay there are so many different levels and different symptoms that it's impossible to put an explanation in a paragraph... or twelve. <br />
<br />
I sometimes say: Sheldon from the Big Bang theory is a perfect example. And who doesn't LOVE Sheldon?? I know I do :) He's a scientist with lovely math and physics inspired fashion sense. <br />
<br />
You can learn about it in actual English from someone who can write properly ...---> <a href="http://www.autismspeaks.org/" target="_blank">here</a> <---...</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang=""> if you're even remotely intrigued enough to get scientifically anal about it ;)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">A lot of people say "I suffer with Aspergers" or "My son suffers with Autism" which is a fair comment because yes, they do "suffer" with simple everyday social situations that nobody else ever thinks about. If you understand why it might be hard for them, they don't suffer. And if you notice that they're actually awesome clever people waiting for an opportunity to shine, they'll never suffer. <br />
<br />
But this rule goes for everyone. Take some time to talk, listen and learn about the people around you who are different. I did, and everyone at college did with each other. And I never got annoyed with any of my friends for walking too slowly, not talking properly, throwing a strop about absolutely nothing because I knew WHY they were like that and knew that they were awesome people and good friends. I'd have patience and help them out. I knew they'd always do the same for me if I ever needed someone.<br />
<br />
They were "Those Kids" - the weird, quiet, sometimes angry or lonely kids you remember from when you were a young'un and in school.<br />
<br />
Some people were nasty to those kids because of the way they were. When you're young and immature it seems kinda funny to make fun of someone who's different from you and you feel like you're better than them because you made them cry. <br />
<br />
Some people were friends with those kids. <br />
<br />
Some were true friends who stuck by them through thick and thin. <br />
<br />
Some were two faced and joined in with the nasty kids when it suited them. <br />
<br />
Some people WERE those kids. <br />
<br />
Probably a lot more people than you think. <br />
<br />
Perhaps you were one.<br />
<br />
I most definitely was. I still am now, and I always will be! And it's the best thing ever.<br />
<br />
Because I learned to embrace what I may or may not have been born with with a positive attitude because I've met some fucking beautiful, amazing inspirational people in my life and I feel lucky to have lived for 25 years. I could die tomorrow. So could you. So yay for today, yay for you and yay for MEEEE! <br />
<br />
That's something everyone is capable of doing if they wanted to try. Whoever you are or whatever way you may think, see, walk or talk. <br />
<br />
Sure, Ignorance is Bliss<br />
<br />
But Learning is a Mind-Blowingly Beautiful Experience.<br />

<br />
</span><br />

<br />
Not because of popular demand. Simply because I felt like it and I know they'll grow back pretty quickly. Whilst I was short I decided to recreate a design I'd previously done. My Rainbow Flower Water Marble:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/6RusAOdq6Wc?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br />
<br />
This video had soooo many comments saying that you need long nails to do the design and I always COMPLETELY disagree!! I know each design will look slightly different depending on the size, shape and length of the nail, but it still looks just as great! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/PyXtkEmopnA?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br />
<br />
And I know my nails are still not actually "short" because I have long nail beds. I cannot physically cut them any further without chopping the ends of my fingers off! <br />
<br />
One thing I CAN cut as much as I like though are my trusty practice nails. I cut a few of my smallest sized falsies in more than half and tried out a few designs on them. <br />
<br />
I STILL got all six colours in because I used a dotting tool instead of a sponge to apply all the nail polish colours. <br />
<br />
DOTTING TOOL!! Shorties can make rainbows with dotting tools! Why didn't I think of that before??!!<br />
<br />
But anyway look, here are some pictures and comparisons of my even shorter nails. <br />

Okay so I can't even get my fake nails any shorter than that because I can't hold them and file them. Something I know I can do better with long nails. You might think I'm taking the piss but I'm actually finding a lot of things MORE difficult without long nails. It's because I'm not used to it. But it is pretty cool though cos I keep missing things... it's like my fingers are drunk. <br />
<br />
So anyway I hope you all have enjoyed my little rainbow water marble nail art project. I really hope that more people can see now that you can do nail art on any length of nail. If your nails are short or long, just adapt, shrink or add to the design to fit your size. <br />

Meaning I'm one of those people who can become completely addicted to something, do it all the time and almost never do anything else. Whereas other people who have hobbies or things they like to do all the time can still know when to give it a rest and go and do something else. I've been "addicted" and "obsessed" with a few things in my time and have managed to give them a break or quit when I know I'm doing too much. It's always been fine. <br />
<br />
My addictions that I've learned to either control, quit, or S.T.F.U about because everyone's sick of hearing me blab about it all the time:</span><br />
<span lang=""><ul><li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Giraffes</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Cats</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Pink</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Alton Towers, and the full detailed description of how amazing Oblivion is from start to finish, exactly where the cameras are located, and the exact pose I did when I went past it</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">My sexy long haired supervisor at my call centre job who had to obey "do not sleep with or date your colleagues" policies</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Tea. Actual normal English tea</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Smoking</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Tea and smoking at the same time</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">My best boy mate who I spent almost 24/7 causing chaos with</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Chocolate</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Sausages</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Swearing like an absolute fucking trooper</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Painting nails</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Painting lighters</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Painting people's stuff they don't want painted</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">The end of the world</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Sunrise Festival</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">The fact that Sunrise Festival 2012 might be the last Sunrise Festival ever if the end of the world occurs</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Cars</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Pink cars</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">The fact that my life sucks because I don't have a pink car and will never be happy until I own one. Preferably a Nissan Figaro</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Nissan Figaros</span></li>
</ul><br />
Seriously, those are things that have taken up pretty much 95% of my life for the past 25 years. But it's okay because I know I can give them all a rest whenever I want and do housework, car maintenance, go to see friends, bands, shopping, pay bills, be normal etc etc. <br />
<br />
But I think I have a new addiction that I may never be able to control. I think I've always had it inside of me.... but now it's grown and exploded and I've posted it on the internet, and I've seen other people post similar things on the internet, and it's all over the place now. I feel kinda safe knowing that other people may share my addiction so I'm not a lonely Nyan cat wannabe or anything, but...<br />

<br />
EPIC rainbows everywhere!! They make me so happy and I can't stop painting them, wearing them, watching them on the internet, offering rainbows as a solution to people's problems, forcing grey people to have a rainbow or two in their life, secretly knowing that soon enough their whole life will revolve around rainbows. <br />
<br />
When you see a real one, in the sky you totally point and say "Yay, rainbow!" don't you? There's just nothing more satisfying than a rainbow. <br />
<br />
And now I have one in my flat!! <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/8TuJB1GUqUM?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br />
<br />
And now it's there, the rest of the walls look plain.... I don't know how this will end, but I think there's gonna be more because I smile every time I look at it. I'm pretty much hooked for life. If there was a rainbow rehab I wonder what it would be like... maybe if I ever overcome my obsession I might make one and help all the other rainbow addicts who are one step away from jail for going on a massive Nyan Spree. <br />
<br />
Now I'm wondering if car mechanics can make exhaust fumes rainbow coloured instead of grey and smokey... I'd put ears on my Astra and drive at 150mph. Real life Nyan Car!!<br />
<br />
Inhale the rainbows, bitches!! WOOHOO!<br />
<br />
In other news, here's a picture my friend tagged me in on Facebook when I was out NOT doing rainbows. Technically I was clapping and cheering at a kick-ass band, but I like to think he captured my magic helicopter powers in action and this would be incriminating evidence if the roof of The Salthouse had happened to be blown off that night. I laughed for about 15 minutes straight when I saw this:<br />

<br />
And my long haired supervisor changed job roles, did what he was allowed and now lives with me in my rainbow land! If you look carefully you can see him on the right ;)<br />
<br />
Full of epic win.<br />
<br />
This blog was a bit trippy and random, but full of grammatically correct sentences. All the way through. <br />
<br />
As JennaMarbles would say: It was on my mind... and now it's on the internet.

</div><span lang="">Okay so recently I've been doing SO much animal print it's unreal. <br />
<br />
It's like an addiction that I think there should be a rehab centre for. Firstly I get addicted to nail art, and then I start seeing these wonderful rainbow animals all over the place and have to paint them everywhere!!<br />
<br />
I'm planning to paint a slice of my wall with rainbow zebra quite soon. <br />
<br />
For the time being, here's a few reinbow animals I did on me and some other random nails. <br />
<br />
Or, here's shitloads of nails. Pretty pictures with captions, yay!!<br />

Okay and here's some randomers. <br />
Rachel came to have her nails painted and I had no camera so Rachel's pic is a few days old... <br />
And I totally did some nails for a wedding. It was my cousin but I feel well posh :) <br />
I was kinda disappointed that she just wanted french tip acrylics cos I wanted to be all bad-ass creative and match her flower arrangement [something I am soooo not doing at mine...] but me and her mum managed to convince her to have some sexy gems on her ringfinger... <br />

So recently with my nail art and life missions I have learnt: <br />
<br />
Don't drink and do nail art.<br />
If you're unsure, paint it pink!<br />
And life is a neon rainbow.<br />
<br />
Internet cats and rainbow animals will take over the world. It's already happening... *ahem*NYAN!*ahhhem!**<br />
<br />
I still love you guys though. Even if you do get bitten and become rainbow-zombiefied!<br />
<br />
RAWWWRRR<br />

<br />
Here's the video: <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/TVkdZjckAx0?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br />
I posted this because I thought it was an easy and funky christmas design that can be done on long AND short nails. I first painted this on short nails and it looked awesome. I didn't take a picture because it was ages ago. <br />
<br />
So here's the design on short fake nails, quarter the size of mine. I picked the smallest nails I had and painted the santa design. It wasn't any harder to do. I just used less polish :)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipyuYwCQdjsKhwATYs9u91B8UACVrpu0R0IkSV7CUENGLMwdo4H1FZb92ts5YUgZm6wuG0TeWdLcGOBeL0mJtozISF1EUdMAspxaZ0zdCT9TYcXyJeycBcsMMK9WPGFH3DEzNN2a3qzrI/s1600/100_2818.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipyuYwCQdjsKhwATYs9u91B8UACVrpu0R0IkSV7CUENGLMwdo4H1FZb92ts5YUgZm6wuG0TeWdLcGOBeL0mJtozISF1EUdMAspxaZ0zdCT9TYcXyJeycBcsMMK9WPGFH3DEzNN2a3qzrI/s320/100_2818.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

So yeah, if you have short nails, TRY IT! It works. Most designs do. <br />

[STILL CAN'T COMMENT REPLY ON HERE]professionalDQhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05083615052543755446noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542335849934852535.post-42617805538680909822011-11-25T19:59:00.000+00:002011-11-25T19:59:45.219+00:00A MASSIVE Collaboration: Let It Snow!<span lang="">Recently, me and my favourite artist Robin Moses have been chatting about life in the YouTube nail art community. We have noticed, and I'm sure we're not the only ones - that even though there are a lot of awesome artists and lovely YouTube girls and boys putting themselves out there and sharing their art with the world, there is also a lot of bitchiness and hate that goes along with it. <br />
<br />
We've all seen the occasional cheats and thieves who will take someone's idea and try to pass it off as their own without giving credit. <br />
<br />
We've also read so many comments and discussions where there is a lot of jealousy and accusations. These days on YouTube, if people see a design that's similar to something they've seen before, they will immediately say "YOU COPIED THIS FROM *insert artists name here* " when that is simply not the case. Sometimes we just have the same ideas, especially when there's an event such as Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas... or even Nyan Cat! <br />
<br />
So we decided to make a stand - make a statement, stamp out all the hate and make some love and connections instead!<br />
<br />
WE'RE CALLING ALL YOUTUBE ARTISTS TO JOIN IN WITH US IN A MASSIVE COLLABORATION...<br />
<br />
On Monday 5th December 2011, we are having a "Let It Snow" day. Here's the deal:<br />
<br />
If you like to paint art on your nails, or your face, we'd love you to make a video. <br />
<br />
Make a nail art tutorial, or a make up tutorial based on the theme "SNOW" - it can be snowflakes, snowmen, evil snow queen makeup, frosty icicle inspired nail tips... let your imagination run wild and be arty as fuck with ice and snow inspired pretty things!<br />
<br />
Title your video "LET IT SNOW by [yournamegoeshere]" and upload it to YouTube on Monday the 5th December. And then when you find another Let It Snow video that you like, video response it! And accept any Let it Snow video responses that you may recieve. Basically, we'll all just attach our videos together randomly so we're all holding hands and painting together. <br />
<br />
THAT'S IT! THOSE ARE THE ONLY RULES!!<br />
<br />
You don't have to be subscribed to anyone, you don't have to Like or follow anyone's page - you just have to paint snow, upload and attach your video with someone :D<br />
<br />
THE REASON FOR DOING THIS:<br />
<br />
We want to show the YouTube artist community that we are NOT in competition with each other - but that we are all friends, we are painting together, learning from each other and inspired to try new things with our art.<br />
<br />
If you paint something because you saw someone else paint it - SAY SO!! If your design is inspired by another artist, then that's a REALLY GREAT thing to do. It's beautiful. But say the name of the person who inspired you and give credit to them for the idea. "This design is inspired by *originalartistnamehere* and this is my version, thanks *artist* for the idea" and perhaps post a link to their original video/picture so everyone can check it out. <br />
<br />
It's the right thing to do. It makes you look good and respectful and the original artist can be recognised for their awesomeness as well as you! <br />
<br />
By joining in on this massive collaboration, we will be showing everyone that we're here to share, support and cheer each other on. No hate is needed - and we stick together instead of bitching and saying "mine's better" or "you're not as good as the other girls". <br />
<br />
There are new artists coming to YouTube all the time and they should feel welcome. They should feel excited to join in and be friends. Not scared that they will be accused of being a wannabe or a copycat, or that they'll be compared to others simply because they have less experience or less views/subscribers than some others. <br />
<br />
So it doesn't matter if you're a professional with 20 years experience and you can make impossible amazing reallistic looking creations,<br />
<br />
Or if you're only 14 years old with five bottles of nail polish and a crappy little paintbrush and absolutely no idea what to do. <br />
<br />
If all the above rules and proposals sound good to you, and you want to be a part of this - we will WELCOME you with EPIC love!! Seriously. Come join us with whatever art or skill level you have and we'll let it snow SO hard on December 5th that the YouTube monkeys will have to get their salt machines and snow plows and 4x4 trucks out on the road so people can still drive to work safely.<br />
<br />
Loads of artists have already responded and said they're totally going to join us, and we want to make this as MASSIVE as possible. <br />
<br />
This is going to be EPIC. And if YOU join us, it will be even more epic. You will be contributing to the glass being even more than half full!<br />
<br />
If you have any questions or would like to say something, please don't ask in the comments on this post - cos I can't reply!! Facebook or YouTube message me or Robin. Here are the sexy links:<br />

I've been so busy [and still am] so this post might just be me talking a load of crap and posting recent nails and colourful shit... <br />
<br />
That's what I do anyway so yeah, mental.<br />
<br />
Since mastering the art of water marbling, I've become addicted to it and want to make a million videos of it but... there are soooo many water marble nail art videos on YouTube that I don't want to repeat the same thing as everyone else. <br />
<br />
After I did the rainbow flower water marble I got loads of peeps saying they tried it too but with clear polish or with different colours and I just thought there must be sooo many more new things we can do with it that haven't been seen before :) Girls are always coming up with new ideas that make you say "wow that's amaze, why didn't I think of that?!"<br />
<br />
One of my fave water marble specialists, Indigonova1 did this water marble with foil! It's just insanely epic...<br />
<br />
Looky: <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/syHcUVEk5xY?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span lang=""></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">We're just never gonna run out of ideas... if only we didn't have to go to work and school and do housework and all the other important things so we could just sit and paint our nails all day...<br />
<br />
I made butterflies - or butterfly wings... I did them on my own nails and then on my friend Jenny's nails later that day.. I love re-painting my designs on shorter nailed people cos I get quite a few comments saying "I can't do this because my nails aren't as long as yours" - I SERIOUSLY believe that all "long nailed designs" can be done on short nails too. The design may look slightly different, you may have to have smaller or less details, but it still looks awesome. So I like to prove it by actually doing it. I obviously can't do it much cos I aint gonna cut my nails short and I don't always have a short nailed friend ready to be painted for my videos... ha!<br />
<br />
Anyway these are my butterflies:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/BSqVq1TnMYk?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span lang=""></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I'd LOVE to see if anyone else has done these, and I can't wait to share even more new water marble ideas with you guys :D imagination is as big as the universe..... it's infinite. <br />
<br />
Think outside the box... let's put wings on cars and let our cats smoke herbal cigarettes. You never know what excitement you may discover from it :)<br />
<br />
Anyways, I've noticed since joining the nail art community a lot of people are quick to accuse artists of copying other people's work. I swear that "you copied this from cutepolish" is the most commonly used sentence in the comment sections of the nail art community. It is nice that so many people want to protect their favourite artists, but it's insane how unobservant people are. Most people will credit the artist in the video if they have "copied" a design. And most other times it's just a fucking similar design! Seriously...more than one person has painted zebra nails, and flower nails, and butterfly nails... a lot of people think the same things without knowing anything about it... <br />
<br />
I got a few unobservant "you copied Robin Moses" comments for this one:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/cWHNyhyxwWE?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span lang=""></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Yeah I re-created the design, did it on my nails in my own way. I video responsed her, mentioned her in the actual video, and said "check out her original design here...[link]" in the first paragraph of the info bar... so I basically credited the shit out of her and some people still seem to be bliiiind... <br />
<br />
Anyway, here's the original. Robin fucking kicks ASS at nails and I love her. Literally. I want to marry all her designs.. I wish that was legal:<br />
<br />
</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/GYPsYWBxfr0?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span lang=""> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">And back to originality, someone asked me to do "Mario Mushroom Nails" and I knew if I did anything remotely similar to the lovely cutepolish Mario design, I'd end up losing my temper with the amout of "copycat" comments I would recieve.<br />
<br />
I love cutepolish. But I don't want my designs to be ANYTHING like hers... or anyone elses. <br />
<br />
This is the Mario Mushroom design I came up with:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/CJ8Uf39giC0?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span lang=""></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">YUP! Green and shiny. Purple mushrooms are the way forward in life. Well, they are on my planet anyway.<br />
<br />
HALLOWEEN!<br />
<br />
The internet has been insane over Halloween but we don't reeeally celebrate it much here - I mean, we do but not as much as they do in the USA. I hope I'm not being too stereotypical - we all have our own ways and beliefs and they're all mental and respected. But to be honest, where I live it's really just an excuse to dress up like a total freak and get completely drunk...I've never been trick or treating in my life...<br />
<br />
But I was invited to a fancy dress "Halloween night" at short notice...it was well weird - it was at this warehouse with portaloos [the shitty ones, not like the lovely ones you get at festivals] and the main focus was a ping-pong tournament. Yeah like, a huge warehouse with a bar, alcohol, loads of zombies and weird funny drunk people, and about four massive ping-pong tables ... it was weird.<br />
<br />
Anyway I didn't have time to make up a costume so I went as a neon pink cat [cos I obviously have a neon pink cat outfit, duhh!] - I WISH I had photos of my full blown neon pink cat outfit but I haven't been facebook tagged yet and I was too smashed to be bothered taking photos with my camera... <br />
<br />
My lovely boyfriend went as a more discreet, black "Ninja cat" - his wardrobe is shameful and would probably all fit into ONE drawer... so he didn't have anything remotely fancy to wear... hence why I painted his nails! You gotta at least try, c'mon! <br />
<br />
I used a matte topcoat so they weren't too shiny and didn't "look gay" < his words. He's 38 by the way :)<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZf1BwHzTqUUFIGoNHz0vbkGFBFUYN4-BBChHa_9aPNgns7wkq-jbTi4Cs0_uAAs_3D7fCZidovo3YvxgSA36NELxuI0N3Ce2zfA6xhW3BldJlSyG80cy0oQjrgEmcbcYGoR2moA9yKsw/s1600/100_2507.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="193" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZf1BwHzTqUUFIGoNHz0vbkGFBFUYN4-BBChHa_9aPNgns7wkq-jbTi4Cs0_uAAs_3D7fCZidovo3YvxgSA36NELxuI0N3Ce2zfA6xhW3BldJlSyG80cy0oQjrgEmcbcYGoR2moA9yKsw/s320/100_2507.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
I painted just the thumbs ... when he's holding his pint and you're chatting with him and chinking glasses... you may look at his beer and see that NINJA CAT IS WATCHING YOOOOU!<br />
<br />
There was this guy - he was wearing a pair of stripey tights on his head with a Barbie head hanging from one of them and a sign on his back saying "Legalize Crime"<br />
<br />
I thought he was a legend. HAHAHA!<br />
<br />
So yeah, I'm still moving house - I'm sleeping everywhere and trying to pay bills and sort insurance and boring shit out absolutely everywhere right now... I still haven't fixed my blog comments so I'm silent in my replies :(<br />
<br />
The amount of stress I have in my life right now is absolutely ridiculous... some days I feel I could just Godzilla everywhere and murder everyone in a loud destructive violent rage... but I still will find time to do nails and hang out on YouTube. Cos it's awesome. <br />
<br />
And imagination seems to be much more productive with lots of stress going on... dunno if that's a good thing... <br />
<br />
Anyway so that was long. I'm desperately looking for new black cat ears. I'm so fussy. I want quality, decent wearable everyday cat ears. This is my mission.<br />
<br />
Love you guys xxx<br />
<br />

I know it's unlike me to do something common, but it had to be done. People go insane for tiger nails in real life. I would like to say that I am NOT IMPRESSED with this topcoat: China Glaze Fast Forward. <br />
I painted these with acrylic paint that dries suuuper fast! Waited an HOUR before topcoating and I painted it on quite thick [thats what you do when you dont wanna smudge] and I STILL had smudges. I used Seche Vite [awesome] from the middle finger to the pinky. But look at the index finger....[on the right]<br />

</div>Yup. I've tried quite a few topcoats before. High-end salon ones and crappy drugstore ones. They're all different but this is definitely the worst one. Luckily I got it for free with my purchase of two China Glaze polishes at Sally's. But if you want a fast dry topcoat that doesn't smudge, don't waste your money on China Glaze Fast Forward. It's awful.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><br />
I did love the base colour - it's called "Y'all come back now, ya hear?" or something like that.... hahaha. It had a kind of jelly finish after three coats. Lovely and shiny ahhhh...<br />

My nails are short... super short. That's what I call this length anyway. Moving house takes a looooong time! They'll be back to their original length by the time I've installed my cooker...<br />
<br />
Here's the mental video. WOOHOO!<br />

<br />
So here's yet another water marble - I said I wouldn't just keep doing water marble designs unless I could think of something a bit different and original. And hopefully this one is.... or I haven't seen a purple zebra water marble anyway. <br />
<br />
HOW COOL IS THIS.... They randomly happened to match my boyfriend's mum's birthday cake. <br />

<br />
And here's the sexy video. WOOHOO!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/a2DmY6e6Xvc?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br />
<br />
In other news, I recently found a YouTube nail art thief. She goes by the username lulucutieee.<br />
She has stolen videos from MimiMemeko, ykhearts and goldiestarling and uploaded them as her own and tried to pass them off as her own work. Seriously I don't usually go round telling people off or trying to stop people misbehaving - leave em to it and karma will get them eventually, right? Well I couldn't keep quiet on this one. I absolutely had to comment telling her what she was doing was selfish and out of order... cos it is!!<br />
They're not even my videos she's stolen and I'm already angry, so fuck knows how I'd react if she had stolen one of mine. I felt that the YouTubers she stole from had the right to know so I sent them a polite message to advise. Fortunately for this dirty stinking cheat, these YouTubers haven't been online for a while so she deleted my comments and continued. I did re-comment... she's obviously not clever enough to block me...<br />
My favourite gurus work hard to gain their views and subscribers so why the hell should she deserve any credit for it?!! She even has the nerve to spam people with "Check out my videos" !!<br />
I wish to expose this thief. Here's a link to her channel so you can see for yourself:<br />
clickkkk here.... <a href="http://www.youtube.com/lulucutieee">http://www.youtube.com/lulucutieee</a> xx<br />
<br />
Hopefully this link won't work for long because her account will get suspended for violations.... <br />
Thiefs, liars and cheats disgust me. They bring out my inner bitch.<br />
<br />
Despite that, the birthday cake was tasty and my nails were appreciated by many. <br />
I have Pacman nails, Domo nails, and Tiger nails amongst others, but am unsure which to upload next... soooo many decisions ohhh I have such a hard life!<br />
<br />
Oh well... at least they're actually mine. HA! Sorry. That was my inner bitch again... <br />
<br />
CONGRATULATIONS to my lovely YouTube friend IndigoNova1 for becoming a YouTube partner! This lady deserves all the credit in the world for the awesome videos she's shared with us. <br />
Check her out and go stroke her lovely new banner... ahhhh :)<br />

YAY!<span lang="">So I've actually done more nails recently and here I am sharing them yaaaay!<br />
<br />
Fact of the matter is, I'm moving house which involves sanding and painting walls, lifting heavy objects everywhere and basically doing everything that would challenge my talons... so I couldn't be arsed to do all the careful stuff and just cut them of instead. It's MUCH easier to do the "manly" jobs and they'll grow back in a few weeks...<br />
<br />
I haven't actually filmed anything for YouTube for about a week [which is a long time!] but luckily I have plenty of vids saved up so I won't be gone....<br />
<br />
Whilst my nails are short and sweet I decided to test out a few more colours with water-marbling. I went with "hot and cold" - the hot hand turned out awesome! But the cold hand kinda failed in the water and looks a lot more discreet than I wanted... but hey ho people still notice them so...YAY!<br />
<br />

<span lang="">Cousin Rachel [my number 1 client] brought London Rachel round for Sunday dinner - seriously it's like fucking Christmas every week in our home. But it's full of love so can't complain ;)<br />
<br />
Yep, so we hung out and painted nails after food. It was mental.<br />
<br />
London Rachel chose my Pink Snail Nails but didn't think I could paint them on her because my nails were at least twice as long as hers when I had them on mine... <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZU773NMF_v5GyODzv99QRQnGMWkiXy-Dd2TaQEEEkgSCJEXYwGsgq3REoiR2Smw9v6gOusmcSd33UjPH8r0nWD6-lNiipRHcxTaXNMbnVNNpQBXyyQsRcYEKXo6opSbwiKjGDzqV7cJk/s1600/100_2185.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="308" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZU773NMF_v5GyODzv99QRQnGMWkiXy-Dd2TaQEEEkgSCJEXYwGsgq3REoiR2Smw9v6gOusmcSd33UjPH8r0nWD6-lNiipRHcxTaXNMbnVNNpQBXyyQsRcYEKXo6opSbwiKjGDzqV7cJk/s320/100_2185.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<span lang="">SEE.. you can paint anything on any nails they don't have to be long!!<br />
<br />
And Local Rachel went with leopard print. She picks similar designs a lot of the time but she has her own style that she likes and I never get bored of painting hers. Even if it's just leopard print. Leopard print looks awesome on everyone, all the time. YAY!<br />
<br />

<br />
<span lang="">Speaking of leopard print, here's my right hand from last week. It has appeared in a video and there is another pre-filmed video starring these rainbow babies as my painting hand. But I am not making a tutorial for them simply because there are too many rainbow leopard nail art vids on YouTube, I've already done three leopards and I like my designs that I film to be original.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQxQd9lewc6lA0Awmbz4pC3JacWAV_A7Jny0GGrHxR4ef9m-WNewuIbnXshktXV3BQK27AY-L3pbnSp_cJ3Li5nQ9lttGku_cQ-E1zp5sMNuH5vU1mLfaACXzpBKiBcTSmSMfWY_768lg/s1600/100_2154.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="237" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQxQd9lewc6lA0Awmbz4pC3JacWAV_A7Jny0GGrHxR4ef9m-WNewuIbnXshktXV3BQK27AY-L3pbnSp_cJ3Li5nQ9lttGku_cQ-E1zp5sMNuH5vU1mLfaACXzpBKiBcTSmSMfWY_768lg/s320/100_2154.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

<br />
I know it's still early and we barely even celebrate Halloween where I live, but I totally already uploaded two more halloween designs. <br />
I wanted to make some sort of spider web water marble but I didn't want to do one similar to SimpleLittlePleasues [typo intentional] black and white spider web design she did last year so it ended up being a swirly marble with added plastic bag bat deco thingies instead. I still wanna do a spidery water marble but I won't until I can think of something more original and have the colours I want that will spread. <br />
Here's my bat video. Yay!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/pSk6WZWJVtc?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br />
<br />
And for my next video, I went in the complete opposite direction and painted Peepo Zombie nails. <br />
You know these? Painted a while ago...?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFXEAXmvD-KcqsQFC03okQ35UkNATlQfaquInqHw9dXF0S9QlDjmzAT5Y7d3ZrU5H4YC1VeE7UrzReFAL-7Zh4K4RKbtMZ6NGzSw367dSU0kQFKIFyKehzo2TOqnFPmaVoA09Eb_uNHkc/s1600/Peepo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="202" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFXEAXmvD-KcqsQFC03okQ35UkNATlQfaquInqHw9dXF0S9QlDjmzAT5Y7d3ZrU5H4YC1VeE7UrzReFAL-7Zh4K4RKbtMZ6NGzSw367dSU0kQFKIFyKehzo2TOqnFPmaVoA09Eb_uNHkc/s320/Peepo.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
I decided to do a... Zombie Spin off, if you like. And it feels like it's been a while since I painted my short nailed creepy hand so this is what I came up with...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/sWGgAA9j9Hs?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br />
What I love about Halloween is that the nail art and make-up are sometimes so easy they can be done by a five year old and still look realistic. If you're going for a gory, undead bloody cut-up uglified zombie style look, shaky hands and messy clumsy lines and secret fuckups are no problem AT ALL! <br />
So if you're having one of those "Retard Fuckup Painting" days, Peepo Zombies are the nails to be painting!<br />
Cuteness, elegance and class are not included or intended in this tutorial.<br />
<br />
May I take a moment to mention blogger Kirshten - she re-created my Rainbow Flower Water Marble with paint instead of water marbling and I thought it looked awesome. I like to blog things that make me smile and this totally did. <br />
<br />
Check em out, man!!<br />
<a href="http://kknails.blogspot.com/2011/09/day-20-water-marbled.html">http://kknails.blogspot.com/2011/09/day-20-water-marbled.html</a><br />
<br />
Wicked. Thanks Kirshten for sharing!!<br />
<br />
Ok I'm sorry I've still not sorted out my comments so I still can't reply to my comments, or comment other people's posts either :( the procedure for fixing it is complicated and I may require male assistance because I suck at technology. Seriously I'm so crap.<br />
I used to "Live Electricals" too. Hahaha. How I managed to keep that up is beyond me....<br />
<br />
But I will have it sorted soon.<br />
Once I'm fully moved into Johnny Depp Village. <br />
Yep! He lives in my village. Or he has a house there, anyway. <br />
That's probably the awesomest thing ever. I'll stalk him, make friends with his wife and be her personal nail technician and they'll employ my boyfriend as their private chef [cos he rules like Gordon Ramsay] and we'll all live happily ever after.<br />
<br />
Then I'll sort my comments. When all that stuff happens. Which it will. Soon. <br />
OH, YEAH AND I'M GONNA HAVE A PILOT'S LICENCE TOO!<br />
And a pink helicopter.<br />
Come join me.<br />
<br />
xxx BLARGH! xxx<br />

I've done sooo many nails it's unreal..<br />
<br />
I had just recently mastered the technique of water marbling, and it's so addictive and always looks awesome! But I didn't want to just do simple bog-standard water marble videos... I tried to think of something different and possibly original. <br />
This rainbow look was purely from my imagination. It hasn't been tubed by anyone else [I don't think] although a couple of people have said they had similar ideas. <br />

It was so much fun to do and since I posted it a few people have said they tried it out with different colours and with clear polish and it turned out awesome so...YAY! <br />

Here's my other hand...<br />

Some people have said it can't be done on short nails. I respectfully disagree. It does look different, but it's still pretty cool. My cousin Rachel and her lovely younger sister Caitlin wanted in so I did the design on them too....<br />

I had never done water marble on anyone except myself before so it was quite weird, and a little bit difficult at first to dip someone else's hands in the water as carefully as I dip my own... and this is what happened to Cookie Monster in the process:<br />

Yup. Only had him on for two days but to be honest he was starting to chip. This was a result of Seche Clear Base Coat. I used it because it's great for preventing yellow staining, but it starts peeling at the edges after about 24 hours. I LOVE Seche Vite Topcoat, but I think Seche base coat is crap!! Anyway here's the Cookie Monster video - a nice clean chimney sweep free design....<br />

<br />
Preparing for halloween I thought I'd upload this design as well - Skull Butterflies! YAY!<br />
These were not from my imagination but I did make them my own and put my own twist on them. They were originally created by Robin Moses - I'm addicted to her art and although I have plenty of imagination myself and don't need inspiration from others, I still HAD to paint these!<br />
<br />
Here's my skull butterflies:<br />

<br />
Skulls with butterflies... the possibilities are endless with far out weird-ass nails!<br />
I never let anyone paint my nails... but if I ever met Robin I TOTALLY would! She's just been so awesome and lovely to me and I'm so glad I met her. One day we'll meet in real life and it'll be absolutely mental. We'll out-weird each other with our wise words and sparkly thoughts....<br />
<br />
Ok so I think that's all I have to say today....<br />
Sorry if I don't reply to comments yet, I still haven't fixed it. This technology and html shit is so complicated! And Blogger won't let me comment.<br />
I'm working on it.<br />
<br />
LOVE YOU ALL BYYYE!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
After months of watching these awesome YouTubers make it look so easy I've finally found a way of doing it myself. Here are some things I have learnt...<br />
<br />
<strong>Water:</strong><br />
<br />
The water works best if it is room temperature. You can achieve this by leaving it in the room for a few hours or overnight. Some people can use tap water but where I live is a hard water area and we have lead pipes so our tap water is crap for marbling. I tried it with Evian bottled water and it was better but still came out all lumpy on most of my nails. Finally, I invested in a Brita Water Filter for £17 at The Range [pink one, yay!] and that was perfect! Filtered water works best for me.<br />
<br />
<strong>Polishes:</strong><br />
<br />
I have a zillion different brands and there isn't a specific brand I would say works better than others it was just a case of trial and error. Some polishes spread well, some don't spread at all. I've heard that China Glaze is one of the best for marbling but I only have two CG polishes and I didn't want a pink and orange marble. I found that the thinner, slower drying polishes work best. If you take the brush out of the bottle and the polish almost slides off the brush like water or drips really easily, then it'll probably marble very well. The thick, gloopy polishes that hardly drip probably won't spread at all. Sometimes if you've got one that spreads perfectly and one that's not so good then you can mix them together, because the spreadable one will push the other one out. <br />
<br />
<strong>Prepping:</strong><br />
<br />
I paint all my nails white because the marbled polishes come out quite thin so the white makes it pop. You could paint nails a different colour for a completely different look, but I stuck with white :) I put tape [very messy tape] around my fingers and stuck it as close to the nail as possible to make clean up easier. I used lip balm last time cos you can just wipe it off, but you have to wipe it off straight away or it will go hard all over your fingers - too much mess while doing nails. So I think the tape method is much cleaner. <br />
<br />
<strong>Tools:</strong><br />
<br />
I used a small bowl - the smaller the container, the less polish you use - but the pattern will also be smaller so there's less chance you'd be able to do 3-4 nails at once. <br />
<br />
To make the marble pattern I used a toothpick/cocktail stick. Some people use a dotting tool or a pin or needle. I've tried them all and they work the same in my experience as long as you wipe it off between each drag - if you don't then the pattern will have ugly lumps in it.<br />
<br />
For cleaning up the polish on the water surface, this makes a huge mess on the stick so I use cotton buds for this cos I can just throw them away straight after rather than having a massive fat orange stick with ten tons of gloopy polish over it!<br />
<br />
I used a flat brush [small one] with acetone to clean around the cuticles afterwards. This is easier than using cotton buds cos you can be more precise and there's less chance of touching the nail and ruining the design.<br />
<br />
If there are any small bubbles on the nail [this happens a lot] you can pop them gently with a pin. If they look too obvious you can always touch them up with the polish and a toothpick. I make sure to get rid of all bubbles before topcoat because if they're still there then they can drag under the topcoat [even Seche Vite!] and that's a pain in the ass!<br />
<br />
**Another tip I may add - a suggestion from <a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/07208990383149961490" rel="nofollow"><em><span style="color: #6a00c6;">ARPIANNINNI</span></em></a> :<br />
<br />
STYROFOAM CUPS ARE NOT GOOD for water marbling. <br />
Nail polish melts them. So if you have a drop sink down to the bottom, the cup will get a hole and you'll have a big seeping pool of nail polish water all over your desk. Yup. <br />
<br />
Use plastic, glass or paper cups. They're safe as houses.<br />
<br />
<strong>Here's the video - surprisingly easy to film!</strong><br />

<br />
<br />
I absolutely love the way it looks - not mine specifically, just the effect of water marbling on nails it just looks amazing. I'm so happy with these and hope to improve and make more videos on it. I think they might be more than just marbles though... I get bored easily.<br />
<br />
Ever noticed I don't have an intro in my vids?<br />
<br />
Yeah. Don't want one. Would change it all the time.<br />

Here's my lazy left handed design...<br />

I can't go a whole day without nails, man!</div><br />
Anyway, the last bank holiday weekend I went with my cousin Rachel to London. Rachel is the shorter nailed model you may have seen on some of my designs on facebook. She took me to London as a thank you for all the nails I've painted on her. We were meant to go to Notting Hill Carnival but because of all the riots and stuff going on in the UK they closed it early so we ended up missing most of it.<br />
Thanks, UK thugs. You're so helpful with your lovely riots.<br />
<br />
On a more positive note, while I was there I went to CAMDEN MARKET!! I've always dreamt of going there and I just HAD to buy some weird stuff to wear. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq6IILSWcq_QGesvoyz5pWxayKOBG4jr7JuQR7tEaFzbZHhgFS4_UP9GeteWzU4aOplhGGfHb90jR0Q1L9l7bt952ye123TgdirW5bocv5t6qzR54BeRnTQqPyX0iQF4RyjM-jwcvca7k/s1600/DQ.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq6IILSWcq_QGesvoyz5pWxayKOBG4jr7JuQR7tEaFzbZHhgFS4_UP9GeteWzU4aOplhGGfHb90jR0Q1L9l7bt952ye123TgdirW5bocv5t6qzR54BeRnTQqPyX0iQF4RyjM-jwcvca7k/s320/DQ.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>This rainbow thing is SO AMAZING!! It goes with everything in my wardrobe and actually fits my massive manly long arms!! It has a pointy pixie hood and it's totally handmade so each one is different. The man wanted to sell it for £30 but I got it for £24. Meheheh. Very nice, helpful man but seeing as he as good as forced me to buy it I had to flutter my eyelashes to get a discount ;)<br />
<br />

EAR HAT WITH ATTACHY-SCARF AND POCKETS!!<br />
I fell in love with it and I know I have ears already but I had to have it <3 I just noticed that one of the pockets is on the wrong side?!! How weird. Oh well, fuck it at least I can say it has "character" haha. <br />
Perfect for the winter months and they totally match my Doc Martens. <br />
Ears are a must-have wardrobe item. Everyone should wear ears.<br />
<br />
Yeah so that's what I bought from Camden - check out my sexy posing. I don't try to look nice and photogenic cos I always fail. More fun to just pull faces. BLAAAA!!<br />
<br />
We went clubbing in the Electric Ballroom. I ended up dancing to Justin Bieber. That was vodka's fault. Not mine. CAMDEN YOU DISAPPOINTED ME!! No but seriously it was an awesome nite. Not a SINGLE bloke tried to grope me or use a filthy chat up line. It was amazing. Much more classy than the skanks I always meet [and try to escape from] in Weston-shitty-Mare. <br />
Camden is cool. So is the rest of London... but I don't think I could stay there for more than a week. I'm a country girl. I like to be able to drive down the road without stopping every two metres!<br />
<br />
NAILS!!<br />
<br />
I've recently done a lot of re-uploading on my YouTube videos. Reason is because if I was ever offered revenue sharing, the Audioswap videos can't be used. And my first 40 videos have Audioswap on them. I've only just learned this. I'm hoping my lovely subbies won't get too pissed off with all the re-uploads. I'm uploading at least one new one per week so it's not like I'm recycling old material. <br />
<br />
Here's my most recent nails - YouTube and non YouTube ones...<br />

Rainbows - this is on Rachel - she wanted something more simple but I didn't understand her and painted this by accident... she LOVED it so yaaaaay!!<br />
<br />
Peacock - this was my first ever peacock design on Tanya - I drove to the middle of nowhere to do a full set of acrylics and some funky peacocks as per her request - and I'd do anything for her cos she's awesome. We had a mental time I think we got high on the fumes cos we were talking about "Acrylates" the whole time...<br />
Sort out your acrylates... ahhh I can't take it there's too many acrylates!!!<br />
<br />

Super - fun!!<br />
<br />
And these are from my collaboration from superminx66 - we both had so much fun doing hem and it looks like we've totally set a trend - Robin Moses responded to my video!! She did some funky kick ass graffiti pop-art nails and they're just amazing. I was so excited to see them.<br />
<br />

And now another girl has said she wants to paint them and video response too.<br />

The past few weeks I've been trying to fulfil requests, and paint things I already wanted to paint anyway... and sometimes I just get a massive idea and HAVE to paint it on nails right away... hence the use of the fake hand. I know a lot of people find it creepy, but I just think the design looks better if it's painted on like, a hand, right? People find my real nails creepy anyway so I can't really win. I'm creepy. YAY! **pokes you**<br />
<br />
The funniest comment I got on my Nyan Cat nails was: "FULL OF EPIC WIN!!!!"<br />
Seriously laughed out loud. I love shout compliments. Hahaha. AWESOME!!<br />
<br />
Anyway so I did these cow nails a while ago and thought I'd just post them... cos I was in a cow design sharing mood...<br />

</tbody></table> Less than 24 hours later, I posted my Snails...<br />
I strongly encourage everyone in the world to paint ridiculously mental snails on their nails.<br />
It's seriously good for you. Like eating your vegetables. Trust me, I'm a professional ;D<br />
