Saw a few people at the Beaverton location that I have not seen for a few months, then went to the Vancouver location to play with Daniel and ended up running into two people that I met at Sakuracon last April when Chris and I were there to promo Pro 2.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier yesterday, I decided to try out a marbling method for fingernails&#8230; it basically works the same way that paper marbling does.<\/p>\n<p>It got kinda messy, and it took me a while because it was my first time trying this. I experimented a bit with re-dipping, and that didn&#8217;t turn out so well&#8230; I had to re-do a total of 4 fingernails. I think that with a bit more practice and experimentation with masking off my fingers (too much polish to clean off of my cuticles when I was all done) it will go a bit more quickly and smoothly.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a bit of the process:<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 25%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-38 gallery-columns-4 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.curiousboo.com\/?attachment_id=39'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.curiousboo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/img_2030-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-39\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-39'>\n\t\t\t\tFirst step &#8211; drop polish onto the water\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.curiousboo.com\/?attachment_id=40'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.curiousboo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/img_2031-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-40\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-40'>\n\t\t\t\tFeathered Polish\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.curiousboo.com\/?attachment_id=43'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.curiousboo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/img_2033-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-43\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-43'>\n\t\t\t\tDipping my finger in!\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.curiousboo.com\/?attachment_id=41'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.curiousboo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/img_2059-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-41\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-41'>\n\t\t\t\tMarbled Nails!\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As per usual, this weekend went by much too quickly for my liking.
