The funny thing is, even though this was supposed to be a shorter post I ended up taking more pictures than normal. Haha, oops.
I will never scan entire magazines or books. Why? 1. These are somewhat pricey and I am not ruining my items to give people free scans. 2. If you really like the content you should show your support and locate a copy of your own to purchase. 3. Scans simply cannot compare to the lovely feel of paper.
I will be showing some pages from Nail Venus Bible 2011. This post is meant to be only eye candy:
Like most magazines that are "special issue" publications, the nail art inside is divided up by color.
Deep pink....
Pastel....
Pink/Warm colors....
My favorite part of this issue is a several-page-long spread featuring different gels and gel nails. Gel has become very popular, and it's easy to see why.
More gel nails. (Yeah, I'm lazy and didn't rotate the picture the right way.)
A close up. Eee, so pretty!
I liked the ad for these Dolly Wink polishes so much, I made it into my lock screen background! Seriously, how cute are the bottles, and even the little box they come in?
After coming home from work, I found this waiting for me in the mail....
My decoden pieces! Finally I can start decorating my own phone cases. Or whatever else I feel like. It came with a big pink bow, little pearl bows, rhinestone hearts, pink fimo clay roses, a chain of rhinestones, a plastic mirror, a plastic purse, a silver crown, a silver lock and key (my personal favorite. It might get turned into a necklace), little white pearls, little pink pearls, little pink and white AB crystals, and little clear and pink regular crystals. Sparkly!
I'm starving. I think it's time to eat some vegetables and work on my next entry.
What is special about gel nails?
ReplyDeleteGel nails are different from acrylic nails in the material (obviously) and the fact they are a little more involved---usually several layers have to be applied and each one is dried before the next one. The smooth clean lines and longer life of gel nails is making them the choice of many people.
ReplyDeleteWhich one do you prefer?
ReplyDeleteI truly am not sure. Both are lovely...the smoothness of the gels and durability greatly appeals to me, but not many salons offer them around here so I have only had acrylics.
