Mani Monday complete with table flipping, failed stamping and drunken dots...

*Purchased*
Hello lovelies,
   Welcome back to another installment of Mani Monday! Today I am featuring Gothic Gala Lacquers' Hot Pants from her new Rave collection. It is a gorgeous bright and vibrant highlighter yellow which glows the in dark. Yes, you heard me correctly this yellow polish GLOWS in the FRICKIN dark. How awesome is that? You can have your own light switch rave with this polish..
But instead of a glow stick all you need is this polish

    So I was super excited and determined to use this kick ass polish and stamp some epic level design on it.

I was going to have simply fabulous nails!
So in order to hold off spontaneously combusting  from too much awesome win with these glow in the dark nails I decided to only paint my accent nails in Hot Pants and then attempt to stamp Hot Pants on black nails. It sounds like a good solid plan right?

And then I will stamp these nails and they will look FABULOUS!
Well, apparently not. It seemed that everything was going to go wrong. Everything started out fantastic. The polish applied like a dream and was nice an opaque after two coats and surprisingly enough I only had one bottle of black polish (I know that this must me some kind of gothic sin only own one bottle but surprisingly I do. Perhaps Ninjas who want fabulous nails took off with the other bottles who knows where they went). Then stamping happened...
I thought that everything was under control...
  So while the glow in the dark polish is awesome on my nails, it wasn't thick enough for stamping on black which I was okay with cause I was going to do a nice awesome skull with some black stamping polish in the middle of my accent nail and call it a day. But NO... That wasn't going to happen either. No matter how hard I tried the skull wouldn't fully transfer on to my stamper.  And after the 10th time I finally gave up...


Yup, this is me after the 4th time trying to get the stamper to work...


    So I was still determined to have awesome nails to go with my awesome polish. Samantha, the owner of Gothic Gala gave a sneak peek of the Rave collection with awesome dotting so I figured that I could do that...Cause how hard could be it using a dotting tool? Apparently I need to go watch some dotting tutorials on Youtube cause....

Yup, this fail is pretty damn epic...

I hang my head in shame at this horrendous dotting attempt and I have to apologize to Samantha cause her polish is way too cool for my craptacular nail art. Please, don't judge a polish from my lack of nail art skill. It really is a gorgeous polish.



Yup, apparently dots with a dotting tool is harder than I thought.



I dunno what the hello happened, but this is an epic FAIL!


So, while the last polish update was full of so much win, the nail art gods and goddess have decided to humble me with this EPIC fail. Now I am off to flip a table and watch YouTube tutorials in order to figure out how to dot my damn nails.




  So thanks for reading this Mani Monday installment of my EPIC FAIL at nail art..

  Until next time lovelies...

What's this? What's this? A New Look?!?! (Sneak peek into the madness of a Blogger's life)

Hello Lovelies!
    I am back today with a quick note. As you can tell the Dreadfully Divine blog has gone through a MAJOR overhaul! Now I am sure that you are asking why in the world did you do that Dreadful?

Why would you DO such a thing Dreadful?

   Well lovelies, I decided that I needed a change. My blog has looked the same for about two years and it was time for something new and fresh. So I signed up for a blogger mentor with one of the groups that I am in on Facebook and I was paired up with an awesome blogger, Kirby from The Mercurial Magpie. She runs an awesome beauty blog with some great nail reviews and swatches. So I was excited and I asked her for pointers. She has given me a lot of lovely suggestions and the first of which was to change the color of my page in order to make it easier for people to read hence the massive overhaul. But I had forgotten in two years what a major PAIN IN THE ASS it is to redo an entire look of a blog.



But being as stubborn as I am, I was determined to do the majority of it in one day...


But in all reality Blogger laughed and taunted me with stretching my posts out of having my images over lap the sides.  Poor Kirby attempted to help me wade through the abyss of frustration from revamping my blog. I was like this for the majority of the day.
Why????
  Just to make things line up and to create some new buttons. But it was no use, I did the majority of my overhaul today and I decided to stop before this happened...

JUST WORK DAMN YOU! !! STOP STRETCHING OUT!!!!!


    So that is the moral of the story is, when you have decided to give your blog a major face lift and before you attempt to beat your computer into submission with your face, stop and take a break.  Walk away save your changes and  take some advice from AbFab and  have a drink.

Or pull a Patsy and drink the whole damn bottle..


Cause that is what I am going to do right now before attempting this again tomorrow.


 Until next time lovelies!
