Green Randomness=Awesomeness

My prayers have been answered.  Right now at this moment it is blizzarding outside my house.  They are calling for 8-12 inches of snow and I am in heaven.  Luckily I am off today so I can just sit and watch it snow.  One of my favorite pastimes.  I only hope I can get out of my very long driveway tomorrow to get to work.

Normally, when I do a post, it contains roughly 10-15 pictures.  Well I was so happy and ecstatic about this mani that I originally took 75 pictures of it and have weeded that down to 21.  So this will be a very heavy pictured post.  I hope you are just as mesmerized as I was.

Since there are so many pictures, I'm gonna get right to it.

Here is the silly bottle shot.


OMG!  Did I forget to mention that it's also green holo day?  Oh yeah people!

Now this is Cirque Lonesome George, Enchanted Polish Gummy Worm, Britney Spearmint and Green Goblin.  In front are my new large circle glequins and on the outside is my dotting tool and my art brush.

Wait-but Fingers, I've never seen you use an art brush before?  That's right people.  I have braved the art brush for the very first time in this post.  Don't expect total greatness, but be happy I'm expanding my horizons.

I started with Britney and an accent of George.  Britney is a mint holo and George is a deep green holo.  Here are the starting shots.

Are these not the most gorgeous greens together?  I know I complained about Cirque Nude, but this George is stunning.  I am in love with these two together.  Seriously in love.

For the very first time, I cracked out my art brush and just did random squiggles just to get a feel for using it.  For this step, I just used the opposite colors.  Here are the pics.

If you paid attention to the background of my first pictures, the sun was surrounded by heavy clouds and I had to struggle to get sun shots.  It was not out for this step.  Yes my lines are not pretty or straight, but it's my first foray into the brushes.  I'm proud of myself for trying!

Next I did random dots using the other two greens.  Gummy and Goblin.  Just looked outside and it is snowing HARD!  Just took pictures to show you on my next post.  I think I may get snowed in!  Here is the next step.

Loving this so far?  Next I added random glequins.  Here is that step.

Let's pause a moment and just take in the awesomeness of this random green holo goodness.........


Are you freakin kidding me?  How cool is this mani?  I am so in love with this that I may do it again with blues or browns etc.  Of course, the glequins fell off pretty quickly, am still trying to figure that out.  I need to play more with the striping brush.  I want to be able to draw straight lines.

So are you loving this as much as I am?

Until next time people.  Any thoughts out there?
