Entry to 3TanjaJ3's Christmas Migi Nail Art Contest

Here's the look I created for 3TanjaJ3's contest.  I have two fingers because I thought I would try to do one short and one long, but they ended up looking the same anyway, LOL.

I wanted to post this last night, but I got too busy making a  FrankenPolish, heheh.  I'll definitely be blogging about that in the near future.  I have a few more posts before I can even get to that!

So here's the link to this video:

And the video itself:



It's another slideshow type video (I think I mentioned that in the last blog).  These are a lot easier to make and edit.  I just take a picture at every step, crop the photos, then put them in my move maker and add some music and titles.  The whole process only takes about an hour.  Supposing I have a free hour to spare!

What I Used:

Orly Nail Armor (Base Coat)

Orly: Silver Polish (will Edit Name Later)

China Glaze: Purple Panic (Neon)

Seche Vite Top Coat

Migi Nail Art Pen: Gold Glitter

Migi Nail Art Pen: Black

What I Did:

Step 1: Base Coat

Step 2: Two Coats of Purple Panic

Step 3:  Two Coats of Silver in the Shape of a Ball

Step 4: Gold Migi Nail Art Pen to draw top of Ornament

Step 5: Black Migi Nial Art Pen to draw design on Ornament

Step 5: Top Coat

I don't think I included a top coat in my video.  But I count that as more of a given.  Plus, everyone knows that a top coat is important.  If I don't use one, I usually explain.

So yup, enjoy!  More posts to follow soon.  I have a few looks plus my FrankenPolish!

Got My Migi Nail Art Pens - Finaly!!!

So I was pleasantly surprised to receive my Migi Nail Art Pens today.  I think I had ordered them around....the 19th of October.

I had asked for the Glitter Black and the Glitter Gold.  I had not realized that they came separately (in the picture these two came as one pen).  But no biggie...I don't have a gold nail art polish anyway.

I have some excellent ideas for some contests I'll be making entries for this week.  I plan to submit another entry to BeenaPop's Halloween Contest, an Intermediate entry to meandmymakeup's Nature Contest, and also a entry to 3TanjaJ3's Christmas Contest.  The deadlines are coming up, so I gotta work fast.  I just wasn't ready to take off my polish today because I just did them soooo cute yesterday (yes, I <3 my ladybugs!).  So I'll be dragging my feet, but I'll get them done.  I hope. =) LOL

I'm guessing that Migi only sends 2 per customer, no matter how many contests they enter?  Cuz it would definitely be cool if I got 2 per contest, LOL.  I guess I'm just being greedy!

Now, you can kind of see the order form in the back...it's approximately $30 for 8 pens, so it comes out to a little less than  $4 each.

I haven't had a chance to try them yet...even my mom's nails are still cute.  So when I start making some contest entries, I'll update you on how I like these pens.  Right now I'm thinking that they're a little pricey, but if they work as great as I've seen on some videos, I think they could be worth it.  These bottles are also kind of small, so I'm curious to see how long the product lasts.

So yup!  Very excited to try these out...will keep y'all posted!
