Friki Tiki


I've always loved the aesthetic of tiki masks, and the funky feel they have. I like the different face shapes and facial expressions that you can see on them, whether silly or scary, tiki culture is awesome!! Today's manicure is my interpretation of the wooden tikis that are often portrayed for parties and shindigs. :-D


I used Color Club Best Dressed List as a base, then mixed with MAC Rich, Dark, Delicious to shade, and mixed with American Apparel Palm Springs to highlight. Topped it all off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.

Something I learned last night while making cookies- if you put chunks of caramel in cookies, you have to let them cool to remove them from the cookie sheet, otherwise you get a lot of broken cookies that you have to eat, because naturally, you can't give away broken cookies, now can you? (what, I think I've stumbled on a great idea here...more cookies for me!!)

  3. I think those have got to be, in my opinion, the best looking nails you've done. Particularly the ring finer.

  10. WOW! That is seriously awesomely amazing! I admire your painting ability and shading ability because it must be so difficult painting on so many tiny canvases. Out of curiosity, do you also paint your right hand, and if you do, how do you do it? Are you ambidextrous?
