Galaxies at Her Fingertips Tutorial
 |
| So, I know I've posted this before, but I figured you would like instructions to make these really cool nails. I might make a video of it too, but instructions will have to work for now. What You'll Need: Black Nail Polish Wet n Wild Fast Dry Nail Color Gray's Anatomy Loose Gold Glitter Clear Nail Polish Instructions: 1. I'd suggest painting on a clear coat to avoid nail damage first 2. 2 coats of the black nail polish 3. 1 coat of the Gray's Anatomy polish 4. 1 clear coat 5. While the clear coat is wet dip your finger into the glitter and sprinkle it onto the wet nail 5. 2 clear coats 6. BAM! Now your nails look like little galaxies!  |

Colored Bubbles
The really cool thing about this painting is that the spatters you see in the painting were made by actually blowing colored bubbles onto the paper.
Here's the instructions to make a super easy and super fun work of art.
What You'll Need:
Paper - preferably watercolor paper, but really any thick paper (I actually used Bristol Vellum paper)
More paper - This will be used to cover up parts of the painting. I suggest using something more thick than print paper otherwise it might bleed through.
Masking Tape
Scissors
Pencil and/or Pen/Sharpie
1 cup of water
2 tablespoons of light Karo syrup
4 tablespoons of dishwashing detergent
Plastic Cups
Bubble wand
Food Coloring and/or scholastic watercolor pan set
Easel (Optional)
Instructions:
1. Draw out your design (make sure to go over it in pen or sharpie!)
2. Cover up any parts of the painting you don't want to be spattered with paper and masking tape
3. For each color of bubbles you plan to use mix the water, Karo syrup, and detergent together in the plastic cup.
4. If you're using food coloring (which I highly suggest) add it into each cup. I just added it an tested the bubbles out on a scrap piece of paper and kept adding more color until I decided it was vibrant enough. If you're using the watercolor palette you need to pop out the tablets out of the plastic palette (its ok if they break) and drop the entire tablet into the bubble solution and wait for it to dissolve before mixing. Again I suggest the food coloring, but I also used the watercolors and it worked too, just not as vibrant of colors.
5. Go outside with your bubbles, art, and bubble wand and place your easel or tape your painting to a wall in the direction the wind is blowing. (You want the wind to be blowing the bubbles to your art not away!)
6. Start blowing bubbles!
7. Leave your work out to dry when finished
8. When its dry you can take off the tape and paper and finish painting the rest of the art in watercolor.
9. And voila you have a colored bubble painting!

My Blogging Apology Letter
Hey guys,
Sorry I haven't been blogging much recently. My life just got stolen by AP Exams, College decisions and Tumblr, but I've made my college decision now (I'M GOING TO SKIDMORE COLLEGE WOOT!!), I still have AP exams, but only for a little bit longer, and well I'm still addicted to Tumblr. :P Anyway I promise this summer I'm gonna be a lot better at this, I might even have make up tutorials. FINALLY! So again I'm sorry (not that anyone actually reads this, but hey I like to pretend I have a lot of followers :P) Anyway I will be much better. I'm even gonna start posting my Polyvore stuff on here!
Love,
Colleen
