Gravity Falls is the best cartoon series I’ve watched in a really long time! It’s got mystery, gnomes, zombie boyfriends, a mysterious 3 journal, and of course happy Mabel!
It just ended this year and I binged it completely because I had to catch up with it and I’m glad I did! They story starts out sweet and then everything is upside down!!
I managed to shoot the making of Dipper, Mabel and the logo nails and you can watch that on Youtube right here:
I was literally taking a shower when I stared off into my shower curtain. It has this sort of curly thing on one side and even though I have no idea what it’s called, I remembered that I had it on one of my nail stamping plates, so why not try to put it on my nails!?
After deciding I’d use this design, I remembered sponging on flakies and I wondered if it would look nice as a background for the black stamps. I ended up using Revlon’s Transforming Effects, Cosmic Flakies 725 but the sad part is the flakie to polish ratio is way off and there is more polish than flakies making it harder to sponge on. But if you’re persistent….! It does work very nicely and the end result looks gorgeous.
On another note, I tried making these Gifs with the new iOS app by Google: Motion Stills which takes live photos and makes them gifs or videos to share. If you want to try it, click the link to download it, it’s free.
If you like nail polish at all and you use it incessantly, you will get yellow nails. No amount of base coat will protect them from getting stained, but it doesn’t matter because that’s what it is. A Stain. Like most stains, they can be removed but if you continue using nail polish, it’s moot.
If you do care about having white nails though, you can try this:
Take some whitening toothpaste and brush your nails for 1 – 2 minutes and you will get a whiter tone. It’s not magic though, don’t expect the stains to be fully gone, but it will lighten the nails a bit.
