Shut Yer Pie-Hole Tutorial! and POLL for Tutorials!!




As promised (though a couple of days late), here is the tutorial for my Shut Yer Pie-Hole! design. Because of YouTube time restraints, I had to break ht into two videos.











I finally got a 'rig' figured out to be able to film easier, I made it out of a snack can (a metal can slightly smaller than a coffee can) with a slot cut through it for a ruler, a plastic ruler to create an arm for the camera, 2 rocks to counterbalance the camera, a piece of masking tape, 2 bendy led lamps, and for the camera? My iPhone. Shoots HD, and is way better than my actual camera for video. I'll post a picture of it later today. :-P It's pretty amusing.



Anyway. Because of that, I hope to start doing some more tutorials, because I get a lot of requests, and because I want to try to branch out a little. This leads me to the following...if I DID start doing tutorials, what would you like to see? I'd like to stick to my own designs at first, but feel free to enter what you want to see in the box below. Keep in mind the spirit of the blog when you enter your requests- I likely won't do Hello Kitty nails or flowery pink shit, or stuff other bloggers kick ass at already - things like Water Marbling, sponging, and french manicures (there may be exceptions to this at some point, who knows). They do them way better than I can, and the internet is saturated with those tutorials already.



Any information you give on either question will only serve to make this blog a better place, so please don't hesitate to be 100% honest. :)

Vote! Shut Your Pie-Hole Tutorial








A few people mentioned not seeing where to vote- they HIDE IT! lol



Hey y'all!  :)  I'm not generally a 'VOTE for me!!' kinda contest person. In fact, this is my first contest I'm entering for nail art tutorials, or actually, I think nail art in general.



Well, here's the thing... Instructables.com (a super awesome website that is full of useful tutorials of ALL kinds) is having a contest to celebrate Pi Day. The only rule? The tutorial MUST involve pie. (They never said anything about edible! ;)) I decided to do a tutorial for my Shut Yer Pie-Hole nails and try my luck. Anyway, this is where you come in... there are just under THREE days to vote on my tutorial!



So go on, check out my Shut Yer Pie-Hole tutorial contest entry, and if you dig it, then by all means, VOTE for it! :-P



Thanks!! :-D
