The title of this post cracks me up! I don’t know… maybe my mind is a tad bit in the gutter. Or maybe it just sounds silly or something. Am I alone here? 😀
So how did I come up with the name twinkle, texture and a little tip?
1- My base coat is called TWINKLE by Pure Ice. The formula is thick but it’s a stunning coral color with orangey/gold shimmer. Takes forever to dry, but nothing a little Seche Vite can’t fix. I love this warm peachy shade… it feels shimmery, sunny and makes me look tan! Take a look ↓
2- I grabbed my TEXTURE polish for some quick rose nail art! I was inspired to try this out after seeing work/play/polish’s awesome Minnie’s Closet mani. To create this look I applied Milani Texture in Purple Streak over top of my coral base. I used a detail brush which worked ok, but I had to keep cleaning it with acetone since the textured polish would gunk up quickly. It came out nice for my first attempt though ↓
3- Here’s A LITTLE TIP: save your soda bottle caps! They come in handy to mix paint up in… or just to use as a little palette to drop some polish into for your nail art. Have you ever tried to return bottles in one of those recyclable redemption machines and noticed that they ask you to remove the caps first? Well now you can make good use of them!
OH MY GOODNESS this is genius. I LOVE this! The difference between the base color and the texture is SO cool!!!
Thanks doll! Orange and purple is an unusual combo- but somehow it worked for this mani 🙂
well done! love it. Can’t wait to try it myself!
I love it! Great work! And thanks for the shout out. 😀 (p.s. I immediately giggled at your post title.)
No prob! And I’m glad you got a giggle out of it too. Glad I’m not the only one! teeheehee
OMG this looks awesome! Love the color combo 🙂 btw I really like your new blog header – did you do it? It looks great!
Thnx! I found a graphic designer’s blog that offers free header templates. I will have to find her link and post it! You can google ‘free headers for blog’ and you may find a lot of freebies 🙂
Beautiful! I use my disposable contact lens containers, they make perfect mini-pallettes.
Heh, tip. Just the tip!
I bet those containers work perfect. I have no contact stuff…I’m a four-eyes instead.
You said it girl…. Just the tip!!!!!!! hehe.
Ahhh, they’re fantastic!!! I love them 🙂
Thank you so much!
uber cool! cant wait for the nail art challenge
Awesome! You will join in on our july challenge then?

I love your nails, I have nail envy.
Thanks for the tip too about the soda lids!
Aww thanks! I have tons of caps lying around now LOL
Can’t wait for the July challenge!
How could I miss out this beauty? I love it! Better late than sorry 😉
Hehehe thanks! When I was looking at your blog the little ‘follow’ button was showing- so I clicked it to make sure I’m following you. I thought I was already! But I have noticed that wp unfollows my friends’ blogs from time to time. Have you experienced that?
Beautiful. I love that coral colour.
Thanks Debbie! Other bloggers gave it some negative reviews… but on my skin tone it looks great. To each his own I suppose!
Wow that’s a cool idea, love it 🙂
Thanks! 🙂
Oooo I really love this!!!
Thanks! I’m really liking peach colors this season!
