Nails I did last night. I used a polish that Robin loaned me called Midnight Magic. It doesn't show in the photo, (of course) but it has kind of a goldy - yellow shimmer in it. It's really pretty. It made me think of outer space so I put little planets and stars and whatever on it. Since stamping is pretty easy this was a lazy manicure. I've been lazy lately. 😝
The lovely Robin gave me this polish the other night. It's a weird-shaped Orly, which excites me. I like the weird ones. 😂 The color is called Brilliant Sky, but it reminded me more of underwater so that's the reason for the sea creatures.
Every time I've looked at them today The Little Mermaid song "Under the Sea" has run through my head. 😛
I REALLY, REALLY didn't want to take my purple nails off last night, but I had a couple starting to peel and that's always terrible news for me. 🙁 If I don't fix that as soon as it starts I'll pick and pull at my polish until my nails are sad and damaged. 🙁 It just never ends well.
So this is what I did. I like it well enough, but they aren't stunning. There was something about that purple I used last time that was so bright and vibrant. It just made me happy to look at it - even with all this cold and rain. These are more muted, which I do like, too. I guess they are more season-appropriate - not that I ever think about that, though. 😂
I did get some gradient practice in, which is good. I'm happy with how my fade turned out this time. It's much easier to pull off with glitter than regular polish, but it's a neat look and I would like to get better at doing it. Anybody up for being practiced on? 🙂
These nails have been the most fabulous thing about me all day. I dropped Maya off at the spay / neuter transport this morning so I've smelled like dog all day. More than usual, I mean. 😛 Not to mention that I went to work looking and feeling like a drowned rat. Mom was driving me around this morning since my tires are bald and scary and that was awesome and sweet of her. But when she pulled into my driveway she got stuck. We probably spent a good hour out in the mud, standing water (yay for low yards!), and rain trying UNSUCCESSFULLY to get un-stuck. Finally one of the many trucks driving by decided to stop and pull us out. Yay for the kindness of strangers. 🙂
Anyway, yeah. I didn't have time to shower or change - I just needed to get to work. I have felt icky and cold and gross all day. I am going to take a nice, hot shower shortly. That's gonna be awesome. 🙂
