<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The beginning of the Christmas barrage!!! I love Christmas, it is absolutely my favorite holiday. Hands down the best one. So we are going to start with something a little non-traditional. As in, replacing red and green with BLACK and PINK! They third best of the black and ______ color combos! Let's begin, shall we?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol>
<li>Paint your thumb, pointer, middle, and pinkey finger with the black polish.</li>
<li>Now get some white paint or white nail polish and your handy toothpick/dotting tool.</li>
<li>Put dots on the bottom of the nail in an irregular pattern and don't make it just a line of white. We aren't going for a french manicure. </li>
<li>Now do random dots on the rest of nail to imitate snow falling</li>
</ol>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Bam! Four of your Five nails are done!!! </span></div>

Now paint you ring finger with the white polish and pink paint/polish and wait for it to dry completely. White polish shows mistakes more than any other color. </div>
<div>
2. Make 7 dots of pink paint the pattern on the farthest drawn nail.</div>
<div>
3. Now connect the dots in straight lines.</div>
<div>
4. Finally make a pink Christmas Tree and color in.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">(More) Halloween! This one is gonna be a little more advanced than some of the other ones. It is gonna take some time too. I am sorry if you guys don't like Halloween or if you want a little something different, but I am in the holiday spirit!! So, deal with it for a couple more days.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As always here are the colors we are gonna use . . .</span><br />

<li>Finger Paints: Paper Mache</li>
<li>Finger Paints: Prints and Printsess</li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">And so it begins. Start with your base coat. We have discussed this. ALWAYS use base coat. If you haven't picked up on that you need more help than I can offer. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">After that we will do the base colors . . .</span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Xpqhmi3oMhI/UmyKaBJtbeI/AAAAAAAAARk/HMLJUYdK82E/s1600/20131026_210148.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Xpqhmi3oMhI/UmyKaBJtbeI/AAAAAAAAARk/HMLJUYdK82E/s320/20131026_210148.jpg" width="240" /></a></ul>
Pinkey: orange<br />
Ring: white<br />
Middle: green<br />
Pointer: white<br />
Thumb: purple<br />
<ul>
</ul>
<div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Let's start with the pinkey, this one is probably going to be the easiest one, spider web!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6MN4XvpfZQU/UmyKeVaO2uI/AAAAAAAAATg/diZed5vPMKE/s1600/20131026_220951-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6MN4XvpfZQU/UmyKeVaO2uI/AAAAAAAAATg/diZed5vPMKE/s200/20131026_220951-1.jpg" width="151" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Make a black wavey line diagonally across the middle of the finger. It is just like the lines you used to make in elementary school to single water. Then you fill in the space from the bottom of your nail to the black line.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nQGtIHBlTu0/UmyKe-sdJvI/AAAAAAAAATk/wnBN60wlKCg/s1600/20131026_221422-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nQGtIHBlTu0/UmyKe-sdJvI/AAAAAAAAATk/wnBN60wlKCg/s200/20131026_221422-1.jpg" width="153" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Next, make thin black lines from the peaks of the wave to the bottom corner of your nail. These are going to be the thick spider web lines. After that just make some swoopy lines connecting the bigger ones. </span></div>
</div>
</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And now onto the ring finger, Vampire!!!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-o_DwhmIo0mA/UmyKZ5GEJ9I/AAAAAAAAAR8/QgWlDsql28Y/s1600/20131026_212703-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-o_DwhmIo0mA/UmyKZ5GEJ9I/AAAAAAAAAR8/QgWlDsql28Y/s200/20131026_212703-1.jpg" width="150" /></a></div>
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Nd03-WCCCyE/UmyKaAeXkcI/AAAAAAAAASA/nWxuzrty71U/s1600/20131026_213117.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Nd03-WCCCyE/UmyKaAeXkcI/AAAAAAAAASA/nWxuzrty71U/s200/20131026_213117.jpg" width="150" /></a> This one part is pretty easy. Make a dot at the point you want his hair to connect. Then make curves to the outside of your nail. And two simple dots for his eyes.<br />
Now on the bottom of your nail make a smile and add some triangular fangs!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5-1YQYRLj6o/UmyKa1TmesI/AAAAAAAAASM/FVi0NvQUGc0/s1600/20131026_213557.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5-1YQYRLj6o/UmyKa1TmesI/AAAAAAAAASM/FVi0NvQUGc0/s320/20131026_213557.jpg" width="240" /></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">All that is left is to make two red dots on top of the black dots, then two white ones on top of the red ones.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And there you have a Vampire!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Onto the middle finger, the Bat!</span><br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZMBXPUd7UB0/UmyKbCcsttI/AAAAAAAAASU/K6OIT-XuR1g/s1600/20131026_214218-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZMBXPUd7UB0/UmyKbCcsttI/AAAAAAAAASU/K6OIT-XuR1g/s200/20131026_214218-1.jpg" width="150" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YLO98RDNKwU/UmyKbAnBS0I/AAAAAAAAASY/r_L2w4iwJjE/s1600/20131026_214002-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YLO98RDNKwU/UmyKbAnBS0I/AAAAAAAAASY/r_L2w4iwJjE/s200/20131026_214002-1.jpg" width="150" /></a><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Make a black ovalish thing, kind of the shape of a potato.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Add two little sticks for ears and some fat triangles for wings. This is a pretty simple cute bat.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yKZIuzAOjlU/UmyKb4yXi3I/AAAAAAAAATs/527LlZv7xxg/s1600/20131026_214506-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yKZIuzAOjlU/UmyKb4yXi3I/AAAAAAAAATs/527LlZv7xxg/s200/20131026_214506-1.jpg" width="150" /></span></a></div>
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AVsYCoBSCPs/UmyKb3-_CBI/AAAAAAAAASk/J4hiTxDt5VE/s1600/20131026_214531-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AVsYCoBSCPs/UmyKb3-_CBI/AAAAAAAAASk/J4hiTxDt5VE/s200/20131026_214531-1.jpg" width="150" /></span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">Now, make two white dots for the whites of his eyes. And on the wings make three diagonal lines that all connect at the top of his wing.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Add some little black dots for his pupils and you are all done!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Pointer! Skull, very reminiscent of Jack Skellington.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HOecoHicK9k/UmyKc1c23DI/AAAAAAAAASw/kdu1rJuANoM/s1600/20131026_215259-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HOecoHicK9k/UmyKc1c23DI/AAAAAAAAASw/kdu1rJuANoM/s200/20131026_215259-1.jpg" width="123" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uxajZvotTL8/UmyKct_10AI/AAAAAAAAAS0/F0MPr0fZpDc/s1600/20131026_215202-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uxajZvotTL8/UmyKct_10AI/AAAAAAAAAS0/F0MPr0fZpDc/s200/20131026_215202-1.jpg" width="161" /></a><span style="font-size: large;">Make two black dots, more oval than circular. Then add a happy smile!!</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-A-0iBUYwfCw/UmyKdJIM-pI/AAAAAAAAATE/FlIKCBdXqBw/s1600/20131026_215442-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-A-0iBUYwfCw/UmyKdJIM-pI/AAAAAAAAATE/FlIKCBdXqBw/s200/20131026_215442-1.jpg" width="136" /></a><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Now make two really small versions of the eyes for his nostrils. Finally some small lines for teeth/mouth stitches. I have never really been able to decide what these lines actually are. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And now the very last bit, the thumb, which today means Black Cat!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />

Then you have to make the body, it is just a thick black rainbow and some sticks for legs. Then do something curly for the tail.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yfxJOZ8USsc/UmyKeCwDd6I/AAAAAAAAATY/66yYcVUzzAU/s1600/20131026_220353-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yfxJOZ8USsc/UmyKeCwDd6I/AAAAAAAAATY/66yYcVUzzAU/s200/20131026_220353-1.jpg" width="139" /></a><span style="font-size: large;">Now just some white dots/lines for the eyes and you will have a sufficiently creepy arch-backed cat!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">ADORABLE HALLOWEEN!!! Hello lovelies! I know it has been a while since I made a post and I apologize. I was really sick this past week and didn't want to do anything. But! Now I am home in Texas visiting my parents and my mom wanted me to do her nails. So we decided to go with something simple and cute (She works at an elementary school, so nothing too scary!) </span></div>
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0bfagP4YtRY/UmQuW0XPfNI/AAAAAAAAANs/Yv0SGpYgZRo/s1600/Orange.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0bfagP4YtRY/UmQuW0XPfNI/AAAAAAAAANs/Yv0SGpYgZRo/s1600/Orange.jpg" /></a>Finger Paints: Prints and Printsess<br />
This is the polish I use for ALL my Halloween oranges. It is bright and shinny but it is obnoxious. <br />

<span style="font-size: large;">As always we are gonna start with a good layer of base coat. Seriously, use it. Women are always getting frustrated because their at home manicures don't stay very long. When I ask them if they use base coat they say "No, I don't have time for that." In my head I am thinking "If you have time to gripe about your nails and have time to re-do them every three days, you have time for base coat." So DO IT!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Once that dries two coat of the Print and Printsess should do the trick! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">All this is is a spider web. You make three longer lines going diagonally across your nail. Then you just make slightly curved lines connect to the longer lines. Spider webs are really easy, so don't be scared. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The spider is probably my favorite part. He is just so cute!! This one is a little more complicated because it has a bunch of steps. First, make a circle big enough to have legs. Second, don't worry about being anatomically correct. Third, make three short lines coming off of both sides. Fourth, on the end of the short lines add another short line pointing down, this makes him look distinctly spider-like.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Fifth and Sixth, add two white dots for eyes and then little black dots on the inside of those.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is every kids favorite part of Halloween. CANDY!! Just like the spider make a big circle in the center. The do V's coming out of the sides, connect the V's and color them in. Then two lines for some wrapper color. This can be done with any color for any time/event/celebration/candy dependent holiday. </span></div>

These are tons of 4th of July ideas. (Starting at the top left)<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Red base, white stripe, blue dots on the white stripe.</li>
<li>Red, white, and blue alternating bases with the other color dots (for example: blue base with red and white dots.)</li>
<li>Red, white, and blue alternating bases with the other color stripes (for example: red base with blue and white stripes.)</li>
<li>Right hand: white base with red stripes Left hand: blue base with white stripes</li>
<li>White base with red and blue fire works (these are done with Sharpies)</li>
<li>White base with red stripes and blue tips, then white dots on the blue</li>
<li>These last ones could double as Captain America nails. White base with red stripes, then blue base with a white star.</li>
</ul>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;"><u><br /></u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">SIMPLE HALLOWEEN!!! I got a new kind of polish today at Wall-Mart on a whim. I saw it in the Maybelline section (you guys will probably learn that Maybelline is my favorite inexpensive make-up) and couldn't look away. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: x-large; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9EhROKq33uc/UlNLerfy3vI/AAAAAAAAAMU/RB2fECDBr2E/s1600/Maybelline-ColorShow-Polka-Dots.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9EhROKq33uc/UlNLerfy3vI/AAAAAAAAAMU/RB2fECDBr2E/s640/Maybelline-ColorShow-Polka-Dots.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: x-large; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; font-size: x-large; text-align: left;">
I got the black and white one, because you can never go wrong with the classiest of color combination. It is $2.97 in the nail section of Maybelline with the other Color Show. I have never used this brand before so y'all get to experience this with me! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: x-large; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: x-large; text-align: left;">
To start off the simple Halloween nails you need . . . </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4xoHFu26fV8/UlNSGFMT6SI/AAAAAAAAAM4/RctE5nl2T50/s1600/20131007_183102.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4xoHFu26fV8/UlNSGFMT6SI/AAAAAAAAAM4/RctE5nl2T50/s320/20131007_183102.jpg" width="320" /></a></ul>
Beauty Secrets: base coat<br />

Finger Paints: Prints and Printsess</div>

Color Show Polka Dots: Clearly Spotter</div>
<div>
Beauty Secrets: top coat</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The first thing, ladies and gents, it to slather your lovely nails with some base coat. The better your base coat the less chips your polish will have and the longer the design will stay. Moral is, INVEST IN YOUR BASE/TOP COAT! Spend the money now so you don't waste your colored polish. Once the base is dry and 1-2 coats of the orange.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uP_hlZVpIkg/UlNSFwPRWzI/AAAAAAAAAMw/oo91wpT35m8/s1600/20131007_185940.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uP_hlZVpIkg/UlNSFwPRWzI/AAAAAAAAAMw/oo91wpT35m8/s320/20131007_185940.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div>
I usually wait about 5 minutes after applying base coat before I add the color. Your base coat has to be dry before you add more. Come to think of it, for every layer of anything you ever put on your nails, wait until you can lightly drag another finger across your nail without causing any wrinkles or smudging in any way. You will thank me later and save your sanity if you listen to this. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Now for the part that makes it Halloween. The black and white chunky clear coat. These kinds of polishes are a little weird. The polish that falls into the "chunky clear coat" category is anything that has stuff in it (glitter, foil, sequins, and chunks) but no color in the actual liquid portion. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">For Example: the Color Show Polka Dot polish that I chose has big black chunks, big white chunks, and small black glitter. But, when I put it over the orange it does not change the color of the orange. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">When you put it on the top of your color it should look like this . . .</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l1j_I0rLK9c/UlNSF98udpI/AAAAAAAAAM0/oRu1bVKTnaM/s1600/20131007_192319.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l1j_I0rLK9c/UlNSF98udpI/AAAAAAAAAM0/oRu1bVKTnaM/s640/20131007_192319.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">So here we have it! Super super simple nails that still scream Halloween! It literally takes about 20 minutes if you do the "layer waiting" portion (seriously though, do it. I can't tell you how many designs I have ruined because I was too impatient). Give it a try yourself and have fun! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">And now for the nail stuff!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

So, the bottles will be the small ones. But if you are like me an hoard nail polish I wont ever use all of it, so the size doesn't matter. There are 3 colors for each villain. I am so excited</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The best thing about e.l.f. is that none of their stuff is expensive. It is absolutely amazing for beginners and people like me who don't want to buy a $35 bronzer brush. If you want to experiment with make-up buy e.l.f.. If you don't do much with nails, but want to get more colors, buy an e.l.f. cube. It is great because brushes are $1, big nail polish bottles are $2. Nicer brushes are $3. Concealer sticks are $3. A mini-pallet of eyeshadow is $3. It is amazing. e.l.f. can be found at Wal-mart, Walgreens, Target, and online. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">And now the best part!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">All of these are avaliable at Walgreens for $9.99!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">So go all of you and buy them all, or at least the nails! Be villainous and have a wonderful day!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">All of you may know e.l.f. for their low prices (eye shadow brush packs for $3 dollars, or eye shadow pallet with 150 colors for $20). As for me, my cousin Natalie introduced them to me, and I had no idea that they did nail stuff. I found it one day when I went to Target. They had a clearance make-up end cap that had 4 e.l.f. bottles for $4. How on earth, as a nail addict, could I pass that up??? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">These were the colors: </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I will admit that at first I was really skeptical. How on earth could a bottle of nail polish that only costs a dollar be any good? I was absolutely shocked when I got home and painted my toe nails with the Teal Blue. It was so creamy (as opposed to thin) and in one coat my nails looked flawless. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Naturally I went online to see where I could get more. I saw something I could not survive without! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">These are the nail cubes. 14 colors for $14. They have the Brights (white box) and Jewel Tones (black box). They are absolutely amazing. So creamy, all the colors work well together. They stay on for forever (helps if you have a really good top coat, but I will discuss that in another review). </span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This picture ^ is one coat,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">one coat on each nail. That is unbelievable.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Most inexpensive polishes require you use half the bottle for solid coverage. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The only thing is, these boxes are all the mini bottles. They aren't full size which helps keep the price low. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;"><u>And the verdict is?????</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Do it. Buy them all! If you don't have $12 to spend on one bottle of Sephora (let's be honest, who does??) or if you want 3 or 4 colors, but don't want to spend the $20 that would cost, e.l.f. is the brand for you. I am very happy with all of my bottles and will buy them again when I run out. It is great polish that doesn't cost a fortune. How many wins can a girl hope for?!?!</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;"><u>It's time for a . . . REVIEW!!!</u></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So . . . yesterday was the official first post that I made, the Nightmare Before Christmas nails. You might remember this picture . . . </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aw-MSZLNYTM/UkCONO72EzI/AAAAAAAAAFs/grG9a1iPUjA/s1600/lies.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aw-MSZLNYTM/UkCONO72EzI/AAAAAAAAAFs/grG9a1iPUjA/s320/lies.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> . . . and my listing of 'Sharpie' as a tool being used in the design guide. But I lied. I didn't actually use a Sharpie. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The thing with Sharpies is they are great for learning to do designs. They give you the stability and familiarity of using a pen to draw. That makes it easier, and they have finer tips then any of the nail polish paint pens. But . . . they streak the second you put top coat on. It runs and ruins the design. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This means, practice with the Sharpies and don't use top coat. Once you get good at drawing with the Sharpies you will probably be pro enough to use my favorite tool on this planet with the best design creating materials!!! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-E2TlONP08xM/UkCOK7jkU1I/AAAAAAAAAFk/YwK20Z3obvA/s1600/Pin+Head+tool.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-E2TlONP08xM/UkCOK7jkU1I/AAAAAAAAAFk/YwK20Z3obvA/s200/Pin+Head+tool.jpg" width="116" /></a></span><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-leOq0CRm1SI/UkCQUU1UdiI/AAAAAAAAAF8/vMlhjpqw9tI/s1600/acrylic+paint.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="136" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-leOq0CRm1SI/UkCQUU1UdiI/AAAAAAAAAF8/vMlhjpqw9tI/s200/acrylic+paint.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> < This is my favorite tool. But the one that I have has a paint brush on one end and the pin head on the other (like I said, $8 at Sally's). The pin head takes a bit to get used to, but one you got it you can do anything. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The other picture there is of acrylic paint bottles. This idea came from my aunt Amy Ball, and let me just say she is a genius!! When you try to use the pin head tool with nail polish it works, but it isn't smooth and the polish drys out.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The moral of the story is, when you first try out these designs I make tutorials for or anything you come up with on you own USE SHARPIES!! Then, once you feel confident go down to Sally's and by the pin head/paint brush tools for $8 and go to Wal-mart and start stocking up on acrylic paint (best part is, they are $0.99 eash!!) and go crazy!! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks for reading, sorry I lied to you. I wish you all the luck in the world with your nail endeavors! Leave a comment and let me know what you think!

I chose to do yellow for both the thumb and middle finger because the yellow was the lightest color that I was using. That is going to make it easier to do the patchwork for the thumb.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Speaking of thumbs, lets talk about that for a second. For this nail I am trying to make it look like all of Sally's patchwork dress. This means 4 colors in different splotches. For this I have a special nail tool that you can get at Sally's Beauty Supply for $8. It has a paint brush on one end and then a little metal pin head at the other end. I use the pin head for EVERYTHING!!!</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gE6EJIhKtPU/Uj96JNKgscI/AAAAAAAAAFM/TgvMf6HlnBM/s1600/20130922_174924.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gE6EJIhKtPU/Uj96JNKgscI/AAAAAAAAAFM/TgvMf6HlnBM/s200/20130922_174924.jpg" width="150" /></a></div>
This is what I did for the start of the 'patchwork'. I took the pin head end of my tool and dipped it into little spots of paint I put of a paper plate. I use my tool to make the outlines for the pink, black, and greenish-blue (what ever this color actually is) sections. Then I just use the brush that comes with the polish to fill the sections out. <br />
