Posted in Seriously Nails Store!, Swarovski® Crystals
Tags
This weeks showcase is Swarovski® crystal pointed back clear crystals. If you want to enjoy a look like this for your nail art, these are the ones to use!
The package contains 72 pieces of 19ss crystals for $19.95. That works out to just over .27 cents per piece. I would charge at least $2.00 for each crystal with application.
Your profit for each package would be just over $124.00. Such a great way to make extra cash when you use these high quality Swarovski® crystals.

My newly married friend came in after a month to have her nails done.
She showed me a picture of what she wanted, and I attempted it. Although I didn’t have the right color glitter, this is the final product. It took me longer than I liked so I gave her a little present under thumb nail and her pointer finger on her other hand!
Happy Friday, thank you for your patience Amanda (or should I say Mrs. Gramling!)

Today’s prompt is Candy Cane. I decided to change the shape of my nails to something that I have NEVER WORN!!!! So, needless to say it took me longer than I had expected!
Here is the big revel…a ode to my friend Roxanne who has rocked this shape since, well, forever!
new nail shape with Candy Cane inspiration
I used Vetro white and Akzents Red in Gel Play then I added some new to the scene, Crystal Pixie Dust from Swarovski®!!!!

Although not quite as daunting as covering a Porsche in Swarovski crystals, it is still tedious work.
I am super grateful that my friend (she is 14 years old) comes by every now and then to help me finish sorting out my mess of crystals and other nail art items!
I thought that the Crystal Katana would be PERFECT for helping to separate them all!
Thank you Aliya for all your help. Because I appreciated her help so much, I did her nails for her. She picked the colors and I did the designs.

Most hobbyist and definitely most all nail technicians have done work using crystals or even Swarovski crystals to do nail art.
If you are at all clumsy like me, you need all the help you can get in placing the stone in the design.
I found the Crystal Katana from Crystal Ninja, Kellie DeFries, works the BEST for me.
from www.crystalninja.com
Now here is one of the cool parts. I met Kellie at IBS Las Vegas, and this is one great lady. She is very creative and super precise in her work. She actually bling-ed a elevator in London! See it happen at this link! http://www.crystalninja.com/blog/crystal-ninja-goes-to-london/
The whole time we chatted, she was telling me about other people doing incredible work with crystals as well. This picture is with Kellie and April Renee. The out fit she is wearing is made of Kevlar (a racing suit I believe) and she actually washes it with Palmolive and the hose outside. Then hangs it to dry. This lady is seriously about having her crystals stay stuck!
The second cool part about this story is that Kellie has decided to bling a Porche Speedster! Yup, a real car.
from http://www.crystalninja.com/ninjacam
And she is doing it to get into the Guiness World Book of Records. By completely covering this replica Porsche with Swarovski Crystals, Kellie suggests that the value will be around $120,000.00 This price tag includes the cost of the car, crystals, and hours to complete!
Here’s wishing Kellie all the best in her endeavor that she hopes to have wrapped up within 90 days (She started on Sept 1).
One more thing is that if you live in the San Diego area and have a spare 4 hours, you could help her by witnessing her do her work. Here is the link to sign up for a slot to watch the Crystal Ninja work on this world record feat. By doing so you get gifted with a Swarovski goodie bag!!! www.styleseat.com/crystalninja
And here is her website where you can find all the tools, crystals and glues that she is using in this adventure! http://www.crystalninja.com/

I would like to wish my Canadian family and friends a very happy and safe Canada Day!
I made a deep deep deep red and white manicure for you all to help celebrate the day.
Happy Canada Day!
I used OPI Color Paints with Silver Canvas as the base and Magenta Muse as the color on top of it (base coat and top coat of coarse)
INM White Porcelain on the pinkie with Young Nails Royal Red sparkles! A little sparkles on my thumb too.
Swarovski crystal from Mr. Nail Art applied with Akzentz Bling On gel.
Enjoy your day
