(closed)Okay so I know that this is not nail polish related but since I don't have a jewelry blog, I have to do the giveaway on here ( jewelry counts as beauty related right?). Facebook has some crazy rules about using their site to host giveaways so the nail polish blog it is. Anyways I am giving away a matching set of earrings and a necklace. The giveaway will end on 6/30/12 when I will select one lucky winner. THE GIVEAWAY IS ONLY OPEN TO U.S.RESIDENTS! I am currently not shipping outside of the U.S. and I apologize for that. Please do not sign up if you are outside of the U.S. If you would like to share my giveaway for an extra entry (detailed on the giveaway form) you can copy the link for this post from your browser.<br />

I decided to tackle making some jewelry as a gift for someone, and well, I got addicted to it! All of my Christmas presents this year ended up being handmade jewelry and everyone loved it. Unfortunately my nails have taken a beating from the jewelry making. I am no longer able to paint my nails except for special occasions because it just gets ruined too fast.<br />
<br />
Luckily I found a way to incorporate my love for nail polish with my new found love for making jewelry. I now make jewelry using nail polish (as well as other things like wire & beads).<br />
<br />
I just wanted to update everyone and let you know why I haven't been blogging anymore. You can check out my etsy store here: <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/twistedtreejewelry">www.etsy.com/shop/twistedtreejewelry</a> and you can also check out my facebook page <a href="http://www.facebook.com/twistedtreejewelryshop">www.facebook.com/twistedtreejewelryshop </a><br />
<br />
Make sure you like my facebook page because I am planning on doing a jewelry giveaway soon!<br />
<br />
Unfortunately I am only shipping within the US currently. I do custom orders so if you would like one of my manis to be made into a piece of jewelry please email me at twistedtreejewelryshop@gmail.com<br />
<br />
<span style="text-align: center;">I will try to update my blog occasionally with new items and information but I am much more likely to update my facebook page so make sure you "like" it! </span><br />

I was on vacation and then when I got back from vacation, I started preparing things for my classroom. Monday I start teaching Pre K at the daycare that I work at. I am very excited that I actually get to teach considering I have a teaching degree. I have been busy working on things for my classroom and I have barely had time to do my nails let alone post on here. My work schedule has also been crazy lately with other people being on vacation. I have ended up working a different shift every week for like the past month. This will probably be the only post for the next two weeks since I will still be busy with stuff for my classroom.<br />
<br />
This design is actually from a while ago....<br />

This is two coats of Sinful Colors Star Fish and then stamped with a feather design in white and silver. Because this design is older, I don't remember what brand the stamping plate is or the number of the plate but you get the idea. I hope that I can post again soon and I apologize again for disappearing for several weeks.

Remove the small slice and stick the very edge of it to something so that it will not get ruined (I used the edge of my desk). It is easiest if you cut all of the slices for one finger and then tape them on all at once. </div><br />

I didn't want to take it off so I just added to it. I decided to try scotch tape beams because I had never tried them before. They turned out pretty well. I just need to work on getting the lines to be a little neater... I will get there. I will have a tutorial up for this tomorrow.<br />

Someone at work was on vacation and so my work schedule was changed. I had to get up almost two hours earlier than I normally do so I have been exhausted all week. I also have not been sleeping well so I had just been way too tired to write up posts all week. My schedule changes back to normal this week so I should have posts for everyday this week. I even have a tutorial for you! Last week I told you about the spectraflair topcoat, well I finally got a chance to wear it. I chose Jordana Boy Oh Boy as the base color because when I swatched the topcoat over different colors, Boy Oh Boy looked the most holo. Some of the pigment in the bottle had settled to the bottom and wouldn't budge so this mani didn't turn out as holo as it should have been. After this mani I ended up taking a small cuticle stick and mixing up the pigment off the bottom of the bottle. After mixing it up, I swatched a few more colors with it and it worked much better. If you buy this topcoat, make sure to mix it very well before using it. Sometimes shaking it is just not enough, even with the bb's in it. Ok enough talking, here it is:<br />

Me being a sucker for cats couldn't leave him outside to starve to death or get hit by a car. We took him inside and gave him a bath, which was fun haha. We took him to the vet... this is where it all went downhill. The vet told us that he thinks that the cat has Lymphoplasmacytic Stomatitis which is a disease that causes the cat's gums to become inflamed and painful. There is no cure for this disease. The vet told us that it would probably be best that we put the cat down. Me being stubborn insisted that we test first to see if that is actually what he had. They had to do a biopsy of his gums for the test. The test results came back and that is indeed what he has but he has a mild case of it and it is treatable. He will always have this disease and will have to be put on antibiotics and steroids occasionally but he is alive and happy. He doesn't seem to be in pain and is able to eat his dry food. As I type this he is snuggled up on my lap :) The several weeks that we had him we didn't want to name him because we didn't want to get too attached (yeah right I was horribly attached after the first day). The past couple of weeks have been ups and downs with this cat and several times I have sat a cried over this cat. We have decided that his disease is manageable and so we are keeping him.<br />
<br />
We had a really hard time coming up with a name for him and we sat in the room playing with him for a long time just shouting out names, none of which we could agree on. I pulled open my box of crayons and decided to look at the crayon names for inspiration. The grey crayon in the box was called Timberwolf... so that is where he got his name :) He is such a lap cat!<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures of Timber:<br />

I decided to do some swatches of the topcoat over some different colors.<br />
<br />
Here are the swatches before the SF topcoat:<br />

Lisa Frank Inspired NailsI wanted to use my new black crackle so I decided to do a Lisa Frank inspired mani. I know I have seen this type of mani somewhere before but I can't remember where. I ended up doing a short tutorial for this design.<br />
Here is what the finished design looks like:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNO325XHMMU9k_lX5RKwGomLKvs8Bc3ktsFaT8fa5He4KMpi8eTQVp4fTfRWui4omMPE9PudXQh5VpE4ROWbD0mJUgVhzQk2hk4HmyzclCmEhhY5Pcu7vgZp5lLUkfagyGrwSCDJazX5GR/s1600/IMG_1257.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNO325XHMMU9k_lX5RKwGomLKvs8Bc3ktsFaT8fa5He4KMpi8eTQVp4fTfRWui4omMPE9PudXQh5VpE4ROWbD0mJUgVhzQk2hk4HmyzclCmEhhY5Pcu7vgZp5lLUkfagyGrwSCDJazX5GR/s400/IMG_1257.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><br />
To do this I first painted my nails with white nail polish. I used the white polish as a base because I was using neon colors and the white base makes the neon colors pop. I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear White Out:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizLhqjYEirgDpzfGQgCNIg41i7JqFA3z8Cp_APzDvxiTpB1zXi6BwIpinonCTeyle1tCVnyMpM1airFlIaaTQBF89w4PpGb1ZStEdkM5J8fxgHYSH2lKyudKDbQmiXljqSkjJVbn1UG8iW/s1600/IMG_1224.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizLhqjYEirgDpzfGQgCNIg41i7JqFA3z8Cp_APzDvxiTpB1zXi6BwIpinonCTeyle1tCVnyMpM1airFlIaaTQBF89w4PpGb1ZStEdkM5J8fxgHYSH2lKyudKDbQmiXljqSkjJVbn1UG8iW/s400/IMG_1224.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Then I took my first neon color and painted a diagonal line on my nails like so:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2Ft7dakNoAuWYWXOH0ppbWMmbp8TU6iBxLjmkELskMQTcSwXJtCVapBuynCOmUx5BcBnCezrXXO6FtRqAmFX9e0vWuKrNZ44yAlePnpbCAgOWueAwx45YmGHhN4RnYHqWYyT1A6FePxcw/s1600/IMG_1226.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2Ft7dakNoAuWYWXOH0ppbWMmbp8TU6iBxLjmkELskMQTcSwXJtCVapBuynCOmUx5BcBnCezrXXO6FtRqAmFX9e0vWuKrNZ44yAlePnpbCAgOWueAwx45YmGHhN4RnYHqWYyT1A6FePxcw/s400/IMG_1226.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>Then I took the second color and painted a second line like so:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2-n-Bm2KlDO25mppFWZ3WamEm82u0YaKFsyTb3E3cMReqHFO9XaXwxol__7DHQZAdMtZcSw5IdgthfgidSoxohPwM9Hd5Zrx8RlFr4qu8m08I99n6eXqHXpTrhxA6-YQoS0dg8fXzP4qH/s1600/IMG_1228.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2-n-Bm2KlDO25mppFWZ3WamEm82u0YaKFsyTb3E3cMReqHFO9XaXwxol__7DHQZAdMtZcSw5IdgthfgidSoxohPwM9Hd5Zrx8RlFr4qu8m08I99n6eXqHXpTrhxA6-YQoS0dg8fXzP4qH/s400/IMG_1228.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />

Two of the new polishes that I got were crackles. I didn't have a black or white crackle yet so that is what I got... that is also all they had. The lady at the register told me that they also had silver but they were sold out and that they were expecting to get in some new colors. I will be going back for more! I have also been wanting to try thee Pure Ice crackles. Has anyone tried them and if so are they any good? Well here are the two crackles that I got:<br />
<br />

I am not dead!! Sorry I have been mia for the past week. I have been busy and didn't have time to do my nails let alone post on here. I am back now and should have time to post this week. I have told you before about the facebook group Polish-aholics Anonymous and the Monday Nail Art Challenge. Last Monday I did not participate in the challenge because the theme was floral and there was no way to incorporate flowers into my True Blood mani. Well this weeks theme was Patriotic. I am addicted to the splatter technique! After finishing the red and blue splatter, I decided to take the splatter to the next level by adding stamping on top... not sure if I have seen that anywhere before. Maybe I am the first lol. In my opinion my nails look like a 4th of July explosion happened on them, but I actually really like them. Well here they are:<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For this design I used WnW French Creme White as the base. Then using NYX Ink Heart and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Cherry Red, I did splatter on all of the nails. To see my tutorial on splatter nail art go <a href="http://jessicasnailart.blogspot.com/2011/06/splatter-nail-art-tutorial_16.html">here</a>. I put on a coat of SV and then using a fauxnad plate and WnW French White Creme, I stamped on some stars. I also used a small striping brush to add a little firework on my ring finger. I really like the way this turned out, especially using the same color as the background to stamp with. I hope you enjoyed this and sorry that I have been mia for almost a whole week.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<br />
I have to go on a small rant... I am doing this because I really hate getting like spam in my comments. I check my blog so many times a day and get so excited when I see that you all have left wonderful comments and I love reading them! I go to read some comments and then there are just links from another blogger trying to share their blog with me. I understand that people are trying to spread the word about their blogs which I completely understand. I am guilty of spamming a tiny bit when I first started blogging. I absolutely love checking out new blogs and making new friends! I am just asking that you share your blog with me in a respectful way and I will be happy to check it out. Also I have found that if you really want to get a blogger to check out your blog, just send them an email telling them that you think they may be interested in your blog. This is so much kinder than spamming.<br />
<br />
If you have not yet shared your blog with me please leave your blog link in the comments below. If you would like you may also send me an email at Jessicaj.lane@gmail.com.<br />
<br />
Also sorry if I have offended anyone and if you are guilty of doing this, I forgive you :)Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14731087286442245103noreply@blogger.com25tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3593076102936482011.post-86262978308764997332011-06-27T07:41:00.000-04:002011-06-27T07:41:30.898-04:00True Blood ManiIn honor of the season premiere of True Blood, which happens to be my favorite TV show ever!!

I started with two coats of Sinful Colors Back on Black. I then did splatter on all nails except the thumbs using Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Cherry Red. I used a striping brush and WnW French White Creme to paint the letters and the fangs. This design was surprisingly simple to do and I love the way it turned out! Any other True Blood fans out there?

These nails make me think of outer space. I found myself staring endlessly at my nails and moving them around in the light :)<br />

<br />
The Balloon nails had 2 votes, the Picnic nails had 10 votes, and there was 1 vote for alternating.<br />
<br />
Just a warning, my nails are now short :( You can see in the pictures that the ring finger nail is even shorter than the rest because that is the one that I broke. I couldn't bring myself to cut down the rest of my nails that short but it shouldn't take too long for the lengths to even out since my nails grow pretty fast. I am still getting used to the short nails and I don't really like them yet. It is kind of like when you get a whole bunch of hair cut off and you don't really like it until like a week later when you get used to it.<br />
<br />
On to the Picnic theme... The picnic at work was lots of fun and I ate way too much. Since my nails are shorter I decided to put less of the fiilmo clay fruit pieces on my nails. I decided to just go with watermelon because I was too lazy to cut any of the other pieces.<br />

</div>For this mani I used WnW French White Creme as the base. Then I painted on the lines vertically and horizontally using a light pink art deco polish. Once those were dry I used a small brush and a red art deco polish to paint the red parts of the picnic pattern. Then Using two different sized dotting tools and Sinful Colors Black on Black, I dotted on the ants bodies. I used a striping brush to paint on the legs and antennas. I also added some silver details to the ants to make them look more 3d. I stuck the watermelon pieces on and coated the whole thing with SV which unfortunately bubbled on this design.<br />

Well this week Carrie asked if she could use that blog post which happened to be a tutorial and make it into a video. I was very excited about this! I have wanted to do a video tutorial for a while but I find it weird hearing my own voice. This worked out perfectly because Carrie narrated the whole thing and all credit for making the video goes to Carrie! Thanks so much Carrie!!!! Here is the video:<br />

I just had to share that I broke a nail :( I thought for a minute that the world might end... I ended up cutting down the rest of my nails so the next post will have some nubbinized nails. It is probably better that I have my nails short right now anyways since I work with kids. Nails and children never mix well. I either end up scratching the kids accidentally or I end up not being able to do simple things for the kids like tie balloons or get a knot out of shoe laces. Oh well just had to warn you that my nails are now short...Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14731087286442245103noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3593076102936482011.post-36952660655917904372011-06-21T07:47:00.001-04:002011-06-21T07:48:46.587-04:00Share Your Blog TuesdayI know I have had many new readers join in the past couple of weeks.
