Not the candy but the skies.

Day 33: Groovy Green

I have 3 days worth of paint that I hadn't posted for whatever reason. No time like the present!

This first look was inspired by a 70's rug my grandma used to owe.

Base Essie's Pretty Edgy
The left side tip : Sally Hansen's Mint Sorbet
The right side tip: Essie's Barbados Blue

Day 32: Dandelions in the wind

I was tumbling late later night and found this design. My nail paint doters still haven't come in so I used a safety pin to draw the design.

Base: NYC's French White Tip under Sally Hansen's Marine Scene
The Dandelion: NYC's French White Tip
The Dandelion stem: Essie's Pretty Edgy

Day 31: Blue Skies

when I started painting my nails I wanted something cheery to brighten up the rainy 40 degree day I was having. They ended up looking like the background of Mario the video game... I might revisit this again later!

Worn: December 27, 2011
Base: Sally Hanson's Pacific Blue
Clouds: NYC's French White Tip
Grass: Essie's Pretty Edgy

nail care

To keep my nail fresh and healthy I use Orly's Top 2 Bottom. Its great and dries quick!

Another thing I invested in is DeMert's Nail enamel Dryer. It cuts my polish time in half. The only down side is it smells like a salon and its super cold. Its about $8 a can and is totally worth it for the busy girl on the go.

Day 30: Let it snow!

In honor of Christmas I did snowflakes! I hope every had a merry Christmas.

Worn: December 26, 2011

Base: NYC's Skin Tight Demin Creme
Design: NYC's French Tip White

I had to take a break.

I made a foolish mistake. No basecoat. I never needed one before.... befre I wasn't painting my nails everyday. Lesson learned and I'm back!
