MY OWN NAILS

These are actually my own nails! I do not do my own nails because it is so nice to have someone else do them for you. I did however paint the stripes on myself. What can I say I just started playing around with my striping brush and this is what happened.

On these nails I used nebula acrylic and fushion fire sparkles. I added polish stripes to add even more fun. You really have to click directly on this picture to get the full effect of how cute these sparkles really are.

TRIPLE WORD SCORE!!


Day 86

Hey all, day 5 of the stupid plague, pretty sure it's the worst day yet, and that my head weighs about 45 lb., still I plugged away on my blog and painted my damn nails. lol :-P Today's nails are inspired by the board game we all know and love...SCRABBLE!! Fun fact: The highest score ever achieved in one turn at Scrabble was achieved by Michael Cresta, in 2006, with the word QUIXOTRY, scoring him a whopping 365 points! Another fun fact, Jason Mraz, geeky crooner extraordinaire, whom I adore, is a Scrabble lover! :)

Anyway, on to the nails, (sorry the pinky got dented- I guess they weren't totally dry when I went to bed, whoops)...



I used Urban Outfitters Matte Nude 3 as a base, Zoya Dea to paint wood grain, topped off with some Zoya Charlize to soften the grain a bit, and then Zoya Raven to paint the letters and numbers. I wasn't terribly in love with the way the woodgrain turned out, but there's always next time...wait... umm...I guess maybe in 279 days? ;)

What's your best scrabble score?

Berry Pink?

Dit is Catrice Vibrant Violet. Twee laagjes zonder topcoat. Oh wat houd ik van Catrice! Hoe kan een 2 euro nagellak zo'n goede kwaliteit hebben? Geweldig gepigmenteerd, goed kwastje, het enige nadeel is het beperkte assortiment kleuren.

English: This is Catrice Vibrant Violet. Two coats without topcoat. Oh how I love Catrice! How is it possible that a 2 euro polish is such a good quality? Incredibly pigmented, good brush, the only downside is the limited assortment of colours.

Het was heel moeilijk deze op de foto te krijgen. Zo'n lastige kleur! Op geen van de foto's wordt de juiste kleur weergegeven. In het echt is ze veel mooier maar jullie zullen het hiermee moeten doen.

English: This was such a difficult colour to photograph! None of the pics are colour accurate. She is much prettier in person but this will have to do.
