Think Happy Thoughts
Saturday, August 7, 2010
So today's nail art was inspired by my friend Faye and her daughter Riley's love of Tinkerbell (and all other things Disney). The other day I was trying to figure out how to use the awesome combination of two glitter polishes (Amour Rain and Deborah Lippmann Happy Birthday), and I thought this would be the perfect application- FAIRY DUST!! :) So Faye and Riley- I hope you approve!! :)
I used Amour Rain Glitter polish as a base (it's a dupe for OPI Mad as a Hatter but MUCH cheaper), topped with two coats of Deborah Lippmann Happy Birthday over it. For Tinkerbell on the ring finger, I used American Apparel Summer Peach for her skin, American Apparel Manila for her hair, which I also mixed with A Beautiful Life Poison to shade her hair. For her lips, I used A Beautiful Life Poison, for her eyes, I used Sally Hansen Professional Lavender Cloud, then Orly Cosmic FX Lunar Eclipse for the iris, with American Apparel Hassid for the eyelashes and brow. For the green of her dress, I used CND Green Scene , and for her wings, I used OPI What's With the Cattitude?. For the shading on her face, ears, etc, I used a mixture of American Apparel Summer Peach and American Apparel Rose Bowl. For the thumb version of Tink, I used American Apparel Summer Peach for the skin, American Apparel Manila for the hair, OPI What's With the Cattitude? for the wings, and a combination of Sally Hansen InstaDry Spring Green and CND Green Scene for the dress and shoes. Topped everything off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.
Don't forget to think happy thoughts! :)
Also- got some polishes from Eyeko today and one of the sets of 4 arrived like this:
*cry* but don't worry, I cleaned them all off, and the polish that leaked is still half full. :)I totally can't wait to check these out!!! I'll let you know when I get them posted on the Review site! :)

The best part of going to Disney is when they fly Tinkerbell out of the Castle and on the line thingy right before the fireworks each night.
ReplyDeletePS. You did a fabulous job on the nails.
The nails are soo perfect!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your Tinkerbell mani! And I'm glad your Eyeko polish was only leaking, not broken.
ReplyDeleteOhhh, the glitter nails are SO fun!! I have such a love for glitter and sparkly. And when you add in Tink... seriously, how can it get better?
ReplyDeleteThe title should be 'Tink Happy Thoughts' (:
ReplyDeleteBut I'm totally jealous of your art skills. I couldn't draw tinkerbell on paper, let alone on my nail!
Oh wow! Fabulous! I hope I can do something like that! :)

ReplyDeleteCan you add a permanent link to your review site on the front page? I always forget the address and have to go digging through your old entries to the post where you mention it. Thanks! Keep up the awesomely creative work :)
ReplyDeleteYour nailbeds are second to none!
ReplyDeleteI've seen a billion pictures of Happy Birthday, but this is the one that pushed me from "eh it's cool but..." into "Want!" territory. I'm not typically the talkative type, so I don't comment often on many blogs, but while I'm here I also wanted to say that I love all your nail art and it's a pleasure to check out your blog every day!
ReplyDeletethe tinkerbell is unbelievable!! well done!
