Yesterday was the Pretty Little Liars season finale and after years of sitting on the edge of our seats with bated breath we found out who ‘A’ was…and did it make sense? NOT AT ALL. I had mixed emotions about the finale. The writers did a fantastic job of throwing the audience off and wrapping everything up in a nice little bow. However, the story was completely riddled with plot holes. Granted, they tried to fit six seasons of stories into 40 minutes but still, there was so much filler during the last few years a lot of the story no longer made sense. The episode ended really abruptly which left me completely dissatisfied because after such a long time they should give them more than a two minute goodbye. All this being said, I will definitely watch the final season in the winter because I’m completely intrigued. Sort of. I think?

 

For the ongoing #redcoattuesday challenge I decided on a super (I mean REALLY) RA-friendly look. It only took a few minutes and I love the final look.

Plastic Bag Marble Nail Art for NAIL and Red Coat Tuesdays

It is funny how inspiration strikes. The last February NAIL prompt was for our least favorite polish. The newest Milani white (Spotlight White) and butter London nude (Tea with the Queen) both made the short list but I could not think of a good nail art with them!…and then it hit me…my Wet n Wild red. I’ve mentioned I don’t like this polish: formula, brush and all…but, for whatever reason, it did not make my original list.

So, why use it? There is a group of bloggers who take part in Red Coat Tuesdays in honor of Pretty Little Liars. I always wanted to take part but never actually created a manicure for the linkup. I am obsessed with this show but even though I love it I have serious issues concerning it. There is too much going on: too many characters, too many plot lines. I tune in every week but this season is seriously lacking. I lean towards colder side of lukewarm because each episode feels like a filler biding its time until the finale.

As excited I am the show was green-lighted for a seventh season (even before this past season aired) I honestly don’t know what else they can do. They are just dragging out everything and it’s getting boring. They just need to tell us who A is, who is torturing the girls, and WHY? I don’t think they ever told us.

Why did they randomly stop thinking Ezra was “A”? (I still think he is just because being A is a very expensive habit and he is the only one who has access to the funds).

 

Anyways, on to the nail art! I decided to do something simple, RA-friendly and abstract. This is my first attempt at plastic bag marbling. There are a couple of ways to do it, either apply the dots directly to the nail or marble on the bag and transfer the design.

I decided to try the latter. I continued to splotch and mash until I was happy with the final design. I hope you like it!
