Hey guys,
My exams are finally over and now I get a short break before starting my next (and hopefully last) semester. Yey!
There were a couple of questions from the last two posts. Max asked which fabric paints I used to paint Jon's undies. I used these Jones Tones Glossy tube paints, they were the only fabric paints I could find at the store lol.
They worked really well tho. I squeezed a bit out onto some cardboard and used a paintbrush to stencil them on. Cause it was dark fabric it had to have a few coats (with just a little drying time in between cause I'm impatient). This stuff is kinda stretchy when it dries so it's good for doing on knit/jersey and it seems to hold up to washing so yeah.
Sam asked where I got the black shatter OPI nail enamel and how much it is usually. I bought it from www.savedirect.co.nz and it's usually NZ$24 but I got it when they had a half price sale so it was only $12. You can buy OPI enamels from pharmacies too and I think they're about the same price.
Looking forward to Star Wars month in August over at Max's blog!

Hey guys,
I just got some of the OPI black shatter nail polish (it was half price, yey!) and I gave it a go over top of this green enamel I already had.
I'm normally pretty lazy with nail polish, I never do anything elaborate cause I either smudge it in the first five minutes or it chips off the day after I do it and it looks all scraggly and yuck for months (like I said, I'm lazy. Even too lazy to remove it heh.). Anyway, this was the result (after a couple days wear too!).
Maybe I was just lucky this time with the not-chipping-off-straight-away thing (either that or the green polish is amazingly good.. this was the first time I used it so maybe it is?). I did my nails with the green enamel and and left them overnight cause it says on the black shatter instructions to apply it to completely dry nail polish, maybe overnight is excessive but I was just being safe lol.
The black shatter goes on looking just like a plain black enamel but it cracks pretty quick, maybe 30secs to a minute. It was reasonably dry after a minute or two aswell. I put a top coat over a couple of the nails then got distracted and didn't finish the rest but it didn't seem to make a difference looks-wise or lasting-wise.
I like that this makes your nails look like you spend hours doing intricate little liney things on them, but really it only takes a couple minutes.
Overall, I like this polish. I would recommend it. It's pretty dang cool. =]
