I don’t think I have done an asymmetrical dotticure for the challenge! Seriously, Monica?? Well, I rectified the situation and loved the final result.

My birthstone is Amethyst and I couldn’t be more thrilled! I love purple. And, interestingly, it’s the only non-gold, silver jewelry I wear. I don’t think it has anything to do with it being my birthstone but I just like it the best! If I ever get married I don’t want diamonds on the rings. I want amethysts!

 

I didn’t want to use silver again but the purple just didn’t look right against any other metallic colors! That’s okay, though, it’s a totally different nail art!

Oh. Mon. Dieu. I am finally caught up! I knocked out THREE prompts! Unfortunately, today, my phone camera decided to bring on it’s attitude full on and my photos are less than ideal…

I am not the biggest lipstick fan. I have well over 20 lip balms, sticks, tinted balms, glosses, and hybrids in nudes and light pinks and rarely wear them! There are three, however, I wear more than the others and those are the YSL glossy lip tints and Chanel Coco Rouge Shines. I would always rather spend money on something I wear more often than something that gets shoved into the back of the cupboard!

I was so excited for this manicure…it came out the way I wanted!…Except..it looks more like blood than melted lipstick…whoops…Does that ever happen to you? Everything turns out EXACTLY the way you imagined it but doesn’t look the way you thought it would?

First off, thank you so much to everyone who are requesting a tutorial on my sugar-spin looks! I will definitely attempt one at the end of the month! I am not sure how to do it except for tips though just because I am unfamiliar with video..but I will give it a try!…

 

I had so many different “love” stamps in the Pueen – Love Elements collection and pulled out nearly six plates to decide upon…then I saw the little leaves in this one and knew I had to do a “for the love of Earth” manicure…I hope you like it!

I don’t even want to talk about this one. I had this great idea and unfortunately execution of said idea was less than ideal. However, I am happy I tried it…and I think with a little practice I can definitely get the look I’m after!

I was actually on top of the fish prompt but I attempted the look twice and both  looked horrendous. I was already very tired that evening so I lost all motivation to continue.

I had so many cute stamps I wanted to use and every time I stamped (yes, I mean every FINGER) the image looked different and warped. I just couldn’t do it. I shrugged and said ‘I’ll try them again on the weekend’. Well, the weekend is here and I thought, “obviously I cannot stamp so I might as well do something else”. These freehand fishes aren’t super intricate but I think they are kind of cute!

Hope you like it!

Playing catch up with some of the prompts today! Thankfully, I already had an idea of what I wanted to do but was just too fatigued to execute them! Here is my very RA-friendly kitty nail art!

Disclaimer: There will not be a whole lot of writing in the next few posts. I am trying to catch up and my fingers are still super swollen!

Not a lot to say because I am so freaking tired from this week except I am now two days behind. ICK. Hopefully, I can catch up this weekend!

I’ve become a sugar-spun snob!! I am so bummed with how this came out but I never re-do my sugar-spins because it takes so long to begin with! I’ve come to the realization that fast-dry polishes do not spin well. Even with constant “stirring” the polish thickens clumpy and just doesn’t move well. Ah well…I can always fix it, right? Nope, while I usually don’t have trouble with white polishes, the white I mixed to get this pink became ashy and kind of dulled the base. Best thing to do is just make sure I don’t have to fix anything and use polishes that are better for this technique!

It’s not my best sugar-spin but I still hope you like my pink frosted doughnut nails!!
