Reflecting Pool (but make it pretty🙃)

I just keep practicing and it’s definitely getting better!!! I took the cool blue pool nails I had yesterday and made a small addition. I could not stop staring at my nails today!

I’m amazed too that even with as much polish as I have on, it doesn’t feel thick at all.

Cool, sparkling water!

This is so pretty - I feel so smart about it!!! Makes me want to swim!! I can’t believe how much glitter I got in one coat!!

Now I just have to keep myself from adding Beginner’s Luck to make “reflecting pool” 😈

Would you wear it to work?

I got the new little glass bead machine - and honestly, it works great!

I played earlier with a skittle, and I made some really pretty nails and decided that I wanted to wear the blue to work.

So I took the others off (my right hand was terrible anyway) and put the blue back on.

I thought I’d use the Seal glaze and on my left hand it bubbled the polish, but seemed to be OK on the right hand.

But on my right hand, my topcoat streaked my polish. I still have time to redo it and I shouldn’t wear this out, right? I need more practice. I guess I just hate the streaks and I hate the bubbles.

Not a choice I’d usually make - but nice!

Are you guys tired of me changing my nail polish every single day? Lol 😅🙃

Trying to reach outside my comfort zone (blue, green, pink) and try some different colors…

Red!! I guess it’s a classic for a reason 🙃

I don’t wear a lot of plain red creams, and it’s not usually what I would gravitate to. But oh my this is the most perfect clear red. It’s absolutely beautiful. It’s also really smooth. I did two coats but with a slightly thicker application I think I could get away with one. Amazing.

First time trying to paint a magnetized (or any) flower

I definitely need more practice but this is my first attempt. What do you think? I think I need to use more polish in the flower itself, use a smaller tool for the center, and practice petals (maybe 5 is better?).

3x Cracked Bloop
Flower is Cracked Spinning Vinyl painted in a horseshoe magnet and I used Cracked Cornea Killer for the center.

Finally got my sale haul unpacked and put away

My husband bought and put together 2 Helmers for me this weekend and I have been happily working away upstairs in my office filling them and organizing! 💅

A little quick safety advice

I recently had to move my car seat much closer to the steering wheel so I could reach because apparently my retreating backside has moved me backward in the chair 🤣🤪

What I didn’t think about was the shoulder height of the seatbelt.

Make sure that you’re checking these things!! I realized on my way to work this morning that I was being strangled by the seatbelt, which certainly would do me no good in an accident!!

It seems so silly, but it could legitimately be a problem!! Stay safe out there, friends!!

Vacation Mode Activated!!

Got my sale order yesterday and I’ve spent the last two days swatching and organizing and playing around with it all. It makes my brain so happy.

I got a lot of things, but one of my absolute favorites is this new polish called Vacation Mode that came out with the pride bundle. It’s so gorgeous. (I think it comes out for individual sale on the 19th.) I still need to clean it up a bit, but I was so excited to share!

I have a button down with flowers that will match this exactly.

I can’t explain how happy this color makes me.

Pride Rainbow

Made a little skittle to scratch that rainbow itch 🌈 I used Mooncat’s Midnight Lullaby underneath my Cracked jellies. The Mooncat is soooo pretty, and I’m definitely going to wear it alone next week. It seems all the jellies but the blue sort of killed the glow in the dark. (it’s still there, but it’s not bright like it was on its own.)

Anyway, this was a fun experiment!!!

Tomato!

This is heirloom tomatoes with good culture chive cream cheese spread, and Martin’s potato bread.

Also, some good culture cottage cheese, and a giant bowl of berries.

My first two tomatoes were mushy (that I bought tonight at Whole Foods so I’m really annoyed) but this one is pretty good.
