Hey sex-ba-boms! (20 points to you if you get that reference!) Do I seem a little bit more chirpy than last week?? Oh it is because I absolutely am! Between you and me, shark week came a knocking last week...yeah, so during that time life can seem to suck in general and I feel super emo! I even kinda had a small cry because I was a day or 2 late and my stomach was feeling uncomfortable. So I had this full on fight with myself that I don’t want to be pregnant but if I am I promise I won’t resent the baby and I’ll bring it up being awesome and geeky and and and...Needless to say, I wasn’t pregnant! Don’t get me wrong, I do want kids one day but I’m also smart enough to know me and my husband can’t afford it right now. Like not at all! So for now WHOOOO! I just wish my uterus would rather just send me a notification like “Hey! You’re not preggies! Look at you taking you birth control like a responsible little adult! Kudos dude! Totes laters till next month...hopefully! *high five*”
So enough about that bit of TMI for today, let’s get to nails! I’ll be honest, there was absolutely no inspiration behind these nails and I just felt like using some brain searing neons and black. SO I DID EXACTLY THAT! #WINNING
I started out with a coat of Sinful Colors Snow Me White as my base color. When this was dry I added a coat of Nubar Palau Coral over one half of my index & pinky and China Glaze I’m With The Lifeguard over the other half. I then took a small piece that I tore off a makeup sponge and dapped WOW Nail Polish #393 down the middle. For my ring and middle finger I made a stamping decal using the above mentioned colors and Bundle Monster Stamping Plate BM-423.
Am I the only one feeling kind of a rasta vibe with this mani?? It is totally unintentional but hey, I’m not complaining! Also, my camera hates neons! Such a pity because this mani SCREAMED in real life AND I LOVED IT!
Lots of mad love...
Aaaaaaaaaah! I am posting before sunset! Yes, I classify that as a SUPER
WIN! I do apologize for my sporadic posting lately but I’ve just been
feeling a little out of it. I am getting back on track now though so YAY
for me! Today we are hitting the Glitter Prompt of the #31DC2014. Such
sparkle! Much amaze!
Day 17: Glitter
I didn’t have a stack
load of ideas for this prompt but I did want to do glitter placement. I
love the honeycomb style of hex glitter placement and have been dying
to give it a try! So what better opportunity than the Challenge right?
I
started by laying down 2 coats of Morgan Taylor Invitation Only on all
my nails. When this was dry, I layed down zig zag chevron nail vinyls by Nail Vinyls over my index finger and pinky and layed down a thick coat
of OPI Grape...Set...Match over it, pulling the vinyls off immediately.
On my middle finger I layed down a coat of clear polish and placed loose
hex glitter from Born Pretty Store on the topcoat. Lastly, I layed down
some more vinyls on my ring finger and filled half in with OPI
Grape...Set...Match and placed a few more loose glitters on the other
half.
I love how the 2 polishes make each other pop! Yes, my
honeycomb glitter placement is anything but perfect but I still like it!
I just wish I can find some matte hex glitter because the glitter picks
up the glare of my lamp immediately. And I just love me some matte
glitter! Any advice??
Lots of mad love...
