Back to School Again!

Good morning, dearies!

Well, class has resumed at my job and I just had to do my nails for the occasion...

school, apple, chalkboard, notebook paper, pencil, back to school, nails, nail art, nail design, mani

I used A LOT of colors in this mani, 12 polishes in all.  I'm going to skip the colors used this time around lol...
 

So, I know that everyone and their mom has done this manicure.  I'm not claiming originality in any way, shape or form.  I've just wanted to do this since the beginning of my nail journey and I've never had the confidence in my ability to until now.  It's still not "perfect" (something I always have to tell myself is just fine lol), but I really do like the way it turned out :)


Lots and lots and lots and lots of patience/work but it was well worth it :)

Until next time!

An Apple A Day Or So They Say...

Howdy, howdy, howdy!  Happy Saturday :D

I've been out of the blog-world for a cool minute and I'm feeling at a loss, my busy week making it feel like weeks instead of 2 days lol.  I just need to get back into the swing of things so I'm gonna jump right in :)

I've been having a creative block recently.  My nail art has mainly consisted of stripes and polka-dots for the last couple of weeks and it's been bugging me!  So I decided to paint apples ;)

 Colors Used: China Glaze - Hay Sailor, Sinful Colors - Nirvana, Revlon - Posh, Sally Hansen - White On, Love & Beauty - Silver (holo glitter), Hard Candy - Matte-ly In Love


A lot of polishes for such a simple mani!  Lol.  If I had known the apple was going to turn out so well, I might have done a couple more :\  Overall I'm quite pleased with this mani, tho.  2 coats of sailor on each nail (such an amazing red!!).  I used the chevron/fishtail swooping technique for the apple, then applied the details with a nail art brush.

The glitter and matte topcoat were an afterthought, really.  The mani just seemed a little plain :P  I applied the glitter first, looked at it and decided it was a terrible idea!  Hahaha the glitter was too loud and outshone the apple.  So I subdued it with the matte topcoat :)  Lastly the apple was sealed with Love & Beauty's Quick Dry Top Coat.

Tada!
(please excuse the streak!)

That's all I have to share for now, I hope you have a loverly day :)

Until next time!
