My shakes are bad today, so I busted out the old striping tape.  This was inspired by clarahnails who did some amazing space grid nails on black.

I messed around some with my nails from the other day– now featuring my trademark Lady Crappo realist skull!

Matte gradient + gold splatter tutorial

Thanks for all the support and encouragement, folks.  Here’s my tutorial for the matte gradient/gold splatter nails– accept no substitutions!

You will need: at least two colors of nail polish (more if you want to do each nail a different color like I did), a metallic/chrome polish, a regular top coat, a matte top coat, a wedge-shaped makeup sponge, scotch tape, and a straw cut down to 2-3 inches in length.

1. Start by painting your nail with the lighter of your two colors (this is two coats of OPI My Dogsled Is a Hybrid).  Tape around the edges of your nails to make clean-up easier.

2. Take your makeup sponge and paint a few stripes each of your base color and the other color in your gradient (here, Zoya Shawn).  I usually snip my sponges in half first to save on supplies.

3. While the polish is still wet, dab it over your nail.  The first coat is usually pretty patchy, but if you repeat a few times with more polish it will build in opacity.  Move the sponge very slightly up and down as you pat it on your nail, to help blend the colors.

4. Once you have a gradient you’re happy with, clean up around the edges with nail polish remover and a brush or q-tip.  Then seal it in with your regular topcoat (I’m using Seche Vite).  You can skip the regular topcoat if you want, but it helps it dry faster and gives the nail a nice, smooth surface.

5. Once the regular topcoat is dry, add a layer of matte top coat over it (I’m using Essie Matte About You).

6. Now for the splatter part.  This is really messy, so I recommend taping your nail again and also laying down some paper towels or old newspapers on your work space first.  Then open your metallic polish (this is Sally Hanson Liquid Gold) and dip your straw in the bottle.

7. Take the straw out, aim the polish-clogged tip at your nail, and blow through the other end.  If your straw is closer to the nail you’ll get bigger drips like you see here, and if it’s further away you’ll get more of a fine spray.

8. Remove the tape and clean up any stray gold.  Do not add topcoat, unless you want to lose the contrast between the matte background and the shiny metallic splatter.

Please signal boost this for anyone that owns a dog, works with dogs or knows someone with a dog, this is SO IMPORTANT.

A lot of dog owners give their dogs peanut butter. It’s great as a treat given in small quantities and most dogs love the stuff. But PLEASE check the ingredients before giving it to your dog. There is a sweetener called XYLITOL, often found in chewing gum, dental hygiene products and it can also be purchased as a sweetener itself, and now they’ve started putting it in some peanut butters. It is EXTREMELY TOXIC to dogs and can be potentially fatal if not dealt with immediately when ingested by a dog. Check the ingredients, if XYLITOL is mentioned then PLEASE DO NOT FEED IT TO YOUR DOG! If you suspect your dog has ingested XYLITOL, which can often happen through dogs finding chewing gum in bags (they like the smell of mint), or if they do happen to have peanut butter containing it, call your vet straight away. I’m a dog trainer, I see lots of goods, but I also see the bads, and the last thing I want to see is dogs coming to harm because people are unaware of this so please if there’s one thing you do then reblog this or at least tell people about it. Thank you so much!

THIS IS 100% LEGIT. Xylitol can cause a HUGE surge of insulin in dogs and in higher doses is toxic to their livers. Three grams of xylitol can kill a 65lb dog.

the worst part about being bilingual is being only like… moderately bilingual. like you can make conversation but you can’t like read articles and shit. or if you can understand but not respond. or if you only know enough to look impressive to a monolingual person, but you’re just pathetic to people who are native speakers lolol

I’m not very good at sex, I’m not. I’m good at comedy and I’m good at football, but sex is not really my thing. I tend to drift, that’s what— I mean, in my head, not from the vagina. That would be a terrible affliction.
