Fall is starting here in the Mid-West, but I figure somewhere in the world people are looking for sea shells at this very moment.
It is finally here, The Crumpet's Pick and Mix 52 Week Challenge. This is the first time I have ever taken part in anything like this. I am hoping this will get me of my kiester and make me try new techniques. Well, that's what I'm hoping.
Right off the bat, I had to do something I had never done or wanted to spend to much time doing; a sponged gradient. So friends, here were my steps:
- Painted on a base coat of China Glaze's Aquadelic
- Using a makeup sponge, I layered on stripes of Aquadelic and Wet 'N Wild's Tahitian Pearl.
- @#*∞ª˚√≈∂!!!!!!!!!-you get the idea, I hated it. It was terrible
- Watched a couple of YouTube videos-ahhhhhhhhh...OK
- Redid the problem areas
- Hand painted my seashell using the Stripe-Rite, Klean Color and China Glaze's Rainbow-that I get
- Added the pearl (left over stuff from the wedding)
- Added the sparkly for the sun shinning on the water.
Here's The line up-It took quite a crew to get this one done.

This is a "Blog Hop" or I guess in the nail world is is a "Link Up". Check out the other ladies efforts below.
That's it for this time around. So until we see each other again, take care............Terri
