A Manicure using Thermochromic Pearl

I have 2 new products from CustomPaintingPearls.com to show you.

A Chameleon Pearl and a Thermochromic Pearl. I even made a YouTube

Video to show you the color changes of the Thermochromic Pearl.

A link to the video can be found at the end of this blog post.

 So what are these pearls. They are products used to paint cars, motorbikes

and so on. However they can also be mixed into nail polish and that is what

I have done. So get your husband, father, brother or anyone who might be

interested in this product to take a look and then make an order together.

Blue-Purple-Red Chameleon Pearl over black and white

The Blue-Purple-Red Chameleon Pearl is best used layered over a darker

color to show up on its best side as it is sheer. It is more of an effect than a color.

Manicure

I started out with China Glaze - Sunset Sail as "underwear.

Then I applied a few coats of Blue Thermochromic Pearl and

a coat of Blue-Purple-Red Chameleon Pearl on top of that.

"Warm fingers"

The Blue-White Thermochromich pearl changes color depending on the
temperature. If you have warm hands it will be white, and on cold hands they
are blue. When I have been wearing this thermo pearl my hands have been
both cold and warm. And it is so cool to see my nails change color.

Easy to do Striping Manicure

This post includes a YouTube Tutorial and Swatches

of Orly - Lucky Duck and also what is coming up soon.

For this Mancure I used Orly Lucky Duck as the base color and then

applied the tapes. But do wait long enough for the polish to dry and don't

rush it like me. Or you will be stuck with tape coming off on the polish. Then

I applied one layer of Orly - Le Chateau and started peeling off the striping

tapes. I wanted to decorate the nails with some Black Hexagons. But you

can use whatever you like. Rhinestones or just do dotts with polish. I used

hexagons cause I have them so I want to use them. Apply Top Coat - DONE!

Watch the tutorial on YouTube

 

Swatches of Orly - Lucky Duck. 2 coats. You can

get away with just one. But for the photos I did two.

Lucky Duck is From the "Birds of a Feather" Collection. I have

three of the polishes and I will be showing you swatches of the

other two in an other post. This is getting long enough as it is.

3 Polishes from "Birds of a Feather" Collection

Orly - Lucy Duck, Nite Owl and Fowl Play

Orly - Le Chateau is from the "Holiday Soiree"

Collection. But more on that in an other blog post.

Lazy Water Marble - TUTORIAL

Ok Ladies. Here is the promised Tutorial on

Lazy Water Marble from this post I made HERE.

I just want to mention that I did not come up with this idea.

I have seen this been done over at More Nail Polish and it is

a version of "Dry Water Marble" when you do all the steps on

plastic. And I think Colette over at My Simple Little Pleasures

does "swatches" on her Water Marble Creations just to see

what they look like before she does them on her nails.

And I think this is a great way of doing Water Marble,

but with out the big mess and clean up. So I wanted

to share this with you. And make a Video tutorial.

Been neglecting my YouTube for too long.

Watch the Video on YouTube

Criticism/Input Please!

Is there anything I should have added to the Video?

Should I make a Step-By-Step Picture Tutorial for the Blog?

Or is the Video enough?

What should I think of for my next YouTube Video?

How long should a Video be?
