**If you haven't already, vote in my As Seen in Theatres contest!

Also, about the giveaway: for those of you that entered, I forgot to ask for your email addresses to notify whoever wins. So you'll all need to check this coming Saturday's post to see the winner, because you'll have 48 hours to respond or I'll pick someone else. So make sure you check my blog on Saturday, or if you want to, email me with your GFC name so that I have your address. I'll post this on every post until then so that hopefully everyone gets the heads up.

Finally, some of you who entered the franken contest didn't sign up for the giveaway, but I assume you'd all want to be entered anyway. If you don't, let me know. That is all.**

The return of the tape! My last exploit with tape didn't turn out so well but I thought I would try it again.

I started out with OPI Mermaid's Tears... whiiich I apparently accidentally deleted the pictures of. Gah!  Here are my original pics of it. Hey, those aren't too bad! Anyway, I started with that and then cut the tape into a bunch of teeny weeny little strips and placed them like so:


Voila

Then I used American Apparel Peacock for the stripes. Yes, it does kind of take forever. But the result is this:

*angels sing*

Although the tape produces rather harsh lines, and it doesn't look so hawt when you first finish.

*angels abruptly stop singing*

But! There is hope yet, young grasshoppers. The first (or maybe not the first, but it's up there) rule of nail polish is that glitter fixes everything. Seee?

I used LA Colors Treasure Chest. How much better is that!? It was a totally beesh to take off but it was sure as heck sparkly!

    @Larie: But that would ruin the surprise!

    @Fingers: LOL, someone must have unfollowed me because now I'm at 186! Ouch!

    @Naomi: Yeah, it's a little time consuming. I only do it once a blue moon!

    @denisefh: That's very nifty!

    @Vintage: I enjoy scaring people.
