Answer
Nails, Inc., Nubar, Glitter Gal, Nfu Oh, HITS and Milani have special effects glitters that are 3D holographic. The Milani is the easiest to find (CVS, drugstores) for $5.79 each and the Nails, Inc. special effects glitters can be found at Sephora for $9.50 each. Nubar, Nfu Oh, HITS and Glitter Gal are imports, you can find them online at shop.llarowe.com, Harlow & Co., Nubar.com, etc. but they're pricey. Between $8-$18 depending on the brand.

Another specialty that's becoming increasingly popular is flakies. They are awesome. Fingerpaints has 5 limited edition colors you can get at Sally's through the month of January but they're pretty hard to find now, limited editions usually are. Nubar has one called 2010 for $8 online, Nfu Oh has colors with the flakies built in and they're numbered (instead of color names) the flakies #'s are 49-60. They'll run you about $22 each on ebay and that's pretty much the only place you can find them. Sally Hansen has one called Hidden Treasure, but it's discontinued, you can pick one up on ebay for $20-30. Zoya has 3 flakies for their spring 2012 collection, Maisie (blue w/ flakies), Chloe (pink w/ flakies) & Opal (green w/ flakies) for $8 each on zoya.com. They're really meant to be layered, they're technically top coats and won't look good just on the nail alone. China Glaze is supposedly coming out with flakies - they just came out with a line of magnetic polishes but apparently they're hard to use and not worth it. HITS, Ludarana and Party Polish have flakies at shop.llarowe.com but they're expensive - $10-$16 a piece.

With all these companies jumping on the flakie bandwagon, I can tell it's going to be the next "it" thing in nails.

And duochromes/multichromes (which change colors in the light) are popular. Chanel has an incredibly popular green/gold one called Peridot available for $26 on chanel.com. Ozotic has a bunch of them for $17.50 each on shop.llarowe.com. Sally Hansen's HD collection has duochromes that are pretty - they're about $7.50 each at drugstores.

The strips/stickers are popular, too. Sally Hansen's salon effects nail polish strips are my favorite and they have all different designs and patterns. Some of them are really nice and some of them are tacky. They have the permanent collection, the solids collection and then they have holiday collections. The spring/easter one's are out now. The really cool designs tend to sell out really quickly. Around Halloween you couldn't find any of them. They retail for $8.50-$10.50 a box depending on where you get them and you get 16 strips in different sizes, a small file/buffer and a small wooden stick in every box. Sephora also makes them, and you can find some other brands at Sally's.

Also, the gel polish is huge right now. And 3D manicures using fimo clay slices and little plastic pieces. The marble look is in right now too, you take a cup of water, drip some polish in it, then drip in another color over the first and so on and so forth. Then you move the polish around in the cup with a wooden stick to get the marble effect and dip your nail in. You should go to etsy.com and type in nail art. Many people make acrylic nails with popular designs. That should give you an idea of what's popular.

daisy

http://www.yescomusa.com/product.php?productid=1231&cat=147&page=1

i would like to buy this system but dont know if you can use it for nail art and that was one of the reasons i wanted to buy it.
yeah im not getting it for professional use... just for fun!!

Answer
A real air brush & compressor would cost a LOT more money so I doubt this thing will be up to the job but for $60 it might be a fun way to start learning how to use an air brush. If you need a real one the cheapest way is to buy it secondhand on Ebay.

OMG... that sounds like sooo much fun!!! In my church,we have a festival coming up and I am in charge of the nail art section. Here are some pics of simple nail ideas to do. I personally like the newspaper nails (which is very easy to do), or if you celebrate Easter, you can do a bunny on your nails. TIP: I suggest bringing a toothpick with you if you don't have a nail polish pen to draw designs. There are much more ideas out there, just search YouTube if you need to know how to make the newspaper nails or any others. HAVE FUN!!! =)

How to make a stretch canvas?

nail art 60 image

Jeffrey

I am currently an art student and my teachers let me use 18X24 as the largest size for free. The bigger ones i have to pay for. And the big ones at the store cost about the same or even more.

So does anybody know the cheap way to make stretch canvas.
The medium i use on canvas is mainly acrylic.

If that has to do with anything when making a your own stretch canvas..

and i noticed im gonna need a staple gun...wonder how much those cost....

Answer
For the frame use 1"x2" pine - dressed, fingerjointed radiata (the cheapest kind). (My friend uses garden stakes, so any handy timber is good enough.) Cut the two pairs of sides together to make sure they are same length. Use a tenon saw and mitre block to cut them. The pieces for the long side are two thicknesses less than the lenght of the side they make, since they will butt against the peices for the short sides at the corners of the frame.

Apply glue where the the peices join at the corners fo the frame (long peices butted against short peices) and hammer long nails through the short peices into the ends of the long peices. Make sure the ends are even with one another onall sides and that the corners are square.

Make corner braces from masonite board - right-angled triangles (squares divided diagonally in half). They don't need to be very big. Glue and nail them to the back of the frame at each corner with small nail tacks.

If the canvas is very big (say, over a metre long on any side), put a cross-mmber (same timber used for frame) halfway along and between those sides. Put the cross member a few milimetres further to the back of the frame so that the canfvas will not touch it. RAsp the inside front edge ofthe frame to take the sharp edge off, since the canvas may chafe against this edge when you paint on it and possible braek or leave a crease mark.

For canvas use 12 ounce cotton duck. It is toughand has an even weave. It is about $15/metre or less if you buy from a wholesaler (who will sell you smaller lengths if you don't want a whole big roll). Cheaper canvas is okay if you want it. (The best thing to use is Irish linen.)

Cut the canvas to size, leaving enough over the dimensions of the frame to wrap around to the back of the frame and for you to be able to pull it when stapling it there. Use a staple gun which takes reasonably heavy staples to fix the canvas along the back side of the frame. (probale about $50 or $60 for a good one.) Start at he middle of one side, then the middle of the opposite side, then the middle of one of the other pair of sides and the opposite side to that, progressively working your way out to the ends of each side as you alternate between them all. In this way you are closing in on the corners from both sides. Pull the canvas with reasonable tension s you staple on opposite sides. Not extremely tight, because when you put the primer on it will wet the canvas and make it shrink, so that it will tighten even more. If you pull it too tight while stapling, the canvas will bow the edges of the frame in after you prime it and perhaps tear under the strain.

When you reach the corners, fold each neatly against one side of the corner and staple the fold down. Just pull the loose canvas away from the couners and fold it in a little triangle tab at the side of the frame.

You can prime using white acrylic house paint. Another idea is clear sealant paint (bondcrete), which will allow the natural colour of the bare canvas to show through, giving a nice "toned" canvas. to get a tomed canvas you can also mix some paint colour with the white acrylic according to what lighness or darkness and colour you want. light burnt sienna tone is good for portraits and figure paintings. This is an alternative to toning the canvas at the start of the painting.

Using a house painting brush, apply the paint evenly to the canvas in alternate strokes parallel to all sides, starting at the middle and working out to the edges. Don't put a lot of paint on the brush. Go over the same area with more than one stroke to make sure the paint covers and soaks into the surface of the canvas, sealing it properly. To check for "pinholes" in the paint, hold it up to the light and youwill clearly see them. Paint the sides of the canvas too. You will notice the canvas start to tighten like a drum soon after the primer goes on. Then leave it to dry.

This whould be fairly cheap, but it will be a nice looking, durable canvas. If you are doing studies or practising painting, canvas paper (primed canvas glued to thin cardboard) is good enough and can be glued to masonite if you wish to frame it. Making a canvas is overkill for these purposes and difficult to carry and store.

Wanting to withdraw from the Art institute of Pittsburg online?

Hehe

How can I go about this & what will happen ? Anyone experience this before ?

Answer
From a financial aid point of view, if you complete 60% of the term, you will earn 100% of the federal aid for that term. However, if you withdraw before completing 60%, the school must do a calculation to determine how much of your financial aid you earned for the time that you completed. They can keep that amount and apply it to your charges, but they must return the remainder to the federal government. Depending on the school's refund policy, you may be charged for any portion of the term that wasn't covered because funds had to be returned. Most for profit schools have a refund policy that nails you for the entire term if you attend beyond a short period of time (such as 1 week), so don't be surprised if the bill is large.

The school will have a process for formally withdrawing. Make sure you follow that and receive written confirmation from the school that you are formally withdrawn. If you do not, you may be considered still enrolled and the school may charge you.

How to deal with a co-worker who treats you like a kid/teen?

nail art 60 image

Triplejump

There is this guy who is higher rank than me at my work. He never smiles, and always has a grumpy face, and thinks that I am a high school student, and he asked if I lived with my parents. I haven't lived with parents in years, and graduated high school years ago I look younger than my age, but he disrespected me in front of my co-workers that I get along with really well. He doesn't try to have a conversation with me because he thinks I am immature looking because i look younger than my age. I get along well with everyone except for that old fart (60 year old guy). What do I do because my mood turns very sad when I see him. I don't see him at work much. Maybe once every two weeks. I cringe when I see him. My mood turns from happy to immediate sad.
Everyday I pray that he doesn't appear to work.

Answer
Work on your image. That is, your appearance. Style your hair in a more mature fashion. Remove any body jewelry. Dress in a suit instead of jeans and tees, or even a cardigan and dress. You want to look professional, or like one character said on a movie I watched about women in the workplace, "Like I won't take any guff." Use conservative make-up, including toned-down lipstick instead of something vividly contrasting or bright. Avoid any glitter or sheen. Wear stylish shoes, low or medium heels, not flip-flops or tennis shoes. Avoid wearing low-cut or see-through blouses, or tight pants. Wear nylons. If you paint your nails, then make them clear fingernail polish or something toned-down, not bright colors or with glitter or other distracting art. Wear pearl earrings, not rows of rings, or dangling earrings. Let your "bling" be a brightly colored plastic, or metallic, necklace, and one or two bracelets (or no bracelets at all if they get in the way of your typing or make clattering noises against the furniture).

Then try this with that old fart: Call him "sir", like "yes, sir", and "no sir." They like to be respected. Avoid making comments about him (especially negative ones) behind his back. Your co-workers may seem like your friends, but they may just be immature enough to tell the boss what you've been saying about him behind his back. That won't help your situation.

Avoid joking or gossiping, visiting with your fellow employees on the job. Save that for the lunchroom. (And then be careful about who is listening.)

Who knows what continues to grow after death?

nail art 60 image

Shawn John

I heard hair and nails continue to grow even after a person has died

Answer
.
NO IT DOES NOT, SO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DIE ?

Jesus said: â . . . saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.â [Revelation 17-18]

What is Death ? â Death is a return to the ground:

âIn the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.â [Genesis 3:19]
âThen shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.â [Ecclesiastes 12.7]

When everyone is born God supplied the 'breath of life' and he becomes a living soul.
âAnd the LORD God . . . breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. â [Genesis 2:7]

Note: man IS a soul, man does not posses a soul

At death, when a man's breath goes forth, he dies - his being, his "soul" perishes. only a living man is a living soul.! Dead is dead. There is no "soul" that goes out of the body to live elsewhere! No "soul" goes immediately to heaven or hell. Dead is dead!
âFor as the body without the spirit is dead, . .â [James2.26]

The Sleep of Death.

At death the body returns to dust and the life force (not the soul) to the creator
â . . . but the dead know not any thing, .â [Ecclesiastes 9.5]
âHis breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.â [Psalm 146.4]
Lazarus was dead four days, yet he gave no report of any âlife after deathâ experience. (refer John 11.39)
The Bible uses âsleepâ as a figure of speech for death.
Jesus said: â. . . Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; . . â [John 11.11]
David prayed âConsider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;â [Psalm 13.3]
âAnd they stoned Stephen, . . . Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.â [Acts 7.59-60]
â. . . the fathers fell asleep, . . â [2 Peter 3.4]

âAnd as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: â [Hebrews 9:27]

The Hope of Resurrection â âAwake and Singâ

Death is NOT the end. There is hope. As there is a falling asleep, there is a waking up.

âThy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: . . .â [Isaiah 26.19]
â . . . them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake . . . â [Daniel 12.2]
The next event that everyone will experience will be the resurrection, as John says, to face the results of his judgment.
âAnd shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. â [John 5:29]
Jesus said: âI am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:â [John 11.25]

What does it mean to âbelieve in Jesusâ? â
To believe that He is the ONLY source of resurrection life; that He paid the penalty for all of our sins when He dies on the cross and by His resurrection made possible our resurrection to eternal life; then by prayer we can invite Jesus into our lives and experience His resurrection power for daily living.

The best way you can prepare for death is to get to know Jesus right now by prayer and Bible reading. You could pray this prayer right now â

Dear God in heaven, I know that I am a sinner. And I know that you sent your son Jesus to die on the cross for my sins and that he rose from the dead in 3 days. I want Jesus to come into my heart and have all my sins forgiven. Please help me and guide me through my walk in the faith. Lord please accept my prayer in the name of Your Son, Jesus, Amen.

May God bless you as you study His Word

I was born and raised in the 50's in Orange County. You could hear the train from 30 miles away and we had orange groves everywhere. We had fields of strawberries and we got to glean them when the pickers were finished and on several years we had a community garden somewhere around 17th st. I loved going to Prentice Park in Santa Ana, and Irvine Park w/ the little train. No homes were out there then. Every kid had a story about getting pooped on by the pidgeons at San Juan Capistrano mission during a school field trip. My brothers and I used to sit on our roof at night and watch the fireworks from Disneyland. I loved the Santa Ana winds. It seemed to invigorate us. We would have a neighborhood baseball game in the street.

As a teen, I would take the bus down Harbor Blvd to the beach. In the late 60's Beach Blvd (Hwy 39?) all the way to Huntington Beach was lined with "head shops" painted with psychedelic art. I wish I'd taken a picture, they didn't last long. The beaches were filled with kids and hippies, not snooty rich folks. The Golden Bear in Huntington headlined Linda Rondstat and the Stone Ponies. Mom and I used to buy fish right from the fisherman's little boat at Newport. They have booths there now. The Crab Cooker in Newport is God's gift to seafood lovers. As kids we spent time playing in tide pools, body surfing the waves, riding bikes, climbing trees, having rotten orange fights, nailing our skates to a board (the first skateboards) and trying not to biff it when rolling down the driveway. Our T.V. programs were wholesome like Engineer Bill and Sheriff John, the Mickey Mouse club, but we didn't spend much time sitting in front of a T.V. and certainly not playing video games or texting.

In the 70's things changed a bit. Many more people moved in and started erecting buildings where the fields and orange groves used to be. We'd always had ethnic diversity and all us white kids learned Spanish, of course, but my Mexican and Black friends spoke English. It got to where you would hear Cambodian or Spanish, or whatever, around you in the stores rather than English so it didn't feel the same. We felt the same unrest that the nation felt, especially after the Watts riots in '65. Pollution got really bad, even out at the beach. Huntington had a chain link fence for god's sake! In Riverside County it was impossible to see 5 miles because of the smog. So in 1980 I decided to raise my own kids in northern Ca near a lake and with lots of play room. I'm glad to say that in visiting south in later years things had gotten cleaned up considerably. It's beautiful again in many parts but there are still too many people, in my opinion.

I didn't mean to turn this into nostalgia time but I guess the point is that you look at everything from your own perspective and through your own eyes of experience. I have met wonderful people all over the world. When Satan is not actively influencing a situation then people generally want to be good and kind. We all love our families and try our best to live life well. When I meet shallow city girls like they depict in the reality programs I have to laugh. My net worth is a couple million dollars but I know that isn't where happiness comes from. Their phoniness comes from insecurity and that is what the nation looks at and judges California by. I've never watched "the housewives of Orange County" but I know the type. And that's what we want the nation to think we are??? Before that it was Duh, Valley Girls. When I was in Dublin, Ireland I was having trouble understanding the waiter's accent. He paused, and said "where are you from?" I told him "California in US" He began his next sentence with a head toss and "so, anyway...." You may be too young to understand why that's funny but I bet older folks you know will get it.

The changes in southern Ca make it unappealing to me to ever live there again but it does have it's own charm and personality, for sure, and it is always changing. Shopping is awesome and you do have every service you could desire and anything is just a quick hop on the freeway away.

Of course, if you want a unique heartbeat to a US city, visit New Orleans. It's a lot like San Francisco. They both still show their history where L.A. has kind of lost it. And the food in both cities! Yum.

BTW, where I live in the Gold Country it oozes charm and history but it is changing too. That's life. Like a skateboard, you ride it or you biff. Thanks for speaking up for our home state :)
