POW!

I hope you all had a lovely weekend!

I don't know how nailside does it, but her tape manis are always so gorgeous! I always have trouble with the tape method. Every time I go to take the tape off, it always pulls. Maybe because I don't have enough patience to allow the base to try but I have figured that using nail tape it much easier, I just have to be very careful.

Please excuse the mess. Sometimes, I just don't have the patience for drying time (that's pretty obvious). Well, this is my POW! mani! I hope you like it!

I can't remember for the life of me what I polishes I used because I put them away before I wrote down the names (what a blogger right?) but I am sure you can find some great polishes with the same colors! A beautiful pink isn't hard to come across.

What do you think of tape manis? Have any tips?

Twinsie Tuesday: Color Block

I have to say that color blocking is one of my least favorite nail arts to do. So you already know, this week was a real challenge: color blocking.

Originally in my mind I agreed to only do 1 nail as an accent but somehow as I began polishing, I totally forgot about it and started polishing all of them. I guess they turned out okay but definitely not something I would showcase again on my blog.

 

So I straight up just free handed the lines. I don't have the patience to tape each and everyone one of the colors, though it may have looked better. But hey, it is what is! I'm usually a perfectionist but I just could not get this right. 

Like what Amandalandish said, I'm not even sure if these pictures deserve a watermark.

For the teal'ish, I used Sinful Colors Athens, for the black, I used Sally Hansen Black Out and Ulta High Roller. Color blocking manis are totally not my thing and I probably won't ever try them again. And lines that aren't crisp just drive me crazy! 

What do you think of color blocked nails?

Funky French Tip

Back to reality Monday. I think I'm coming down with something. My son had a very high fever last night and now, I think I caught it. Better me sick than my son - gladly, he's back to normal. All the glory to Abba.

Something weird and something different. I didn't really like it and took it off right away. But this is 2 coats of  China Glaze Shower Together. This was a bad boy. It was super duper runny. It flooded my cuticles all over. The brush applicator was super nasty - sorry I didn't but should've pictured it. However, I think it's a really pretty color. For the black tip I used Sally Hansen Black Out.

I hope you all are having a wonderful Monday!

What do you think of the tips?
