MY FIANCÉE and I were fighting over spending time together - he wanted to game, I wanted to do some artwork with him and watch a movie. This ended in Boy declaring he was going to design and paint my nails. He called for paper saying that "true art needed to be planned out", and then changed his mind. He picked out Essie's Aruba Blue and Sinful Colors' Patrika and got to work on my left hand.


He was super serious. And didn't really know how to ply polish - 


but did his best. SUPER THICK COATS.


Using my *new* dotting tool to make his little suns.


SINCE BOY did a day theme on my right hand, I did a night them on the left. I used Wet n Wild's Morbid for the base coat, Rimmel's Grey Matter and Essie's Blanca for the moon with Wet n Wild's Kaledoscope for the mini stars in the sky. My fingers weren't as nicely done, but I used the paint brush end of my dotting tool with Wet n Wild's Silvivor.


THESE ARE THE FINAL RESULTS.


BOY'S SUNS. Very textured.


UBER TEXTURED.

Boy made me promise to leave my left hand as it was. Which will be super interesting. I'm really anal when it comes to my nail polish. If it's chipped, smudges, too bumpy, ruined in any way, I HAVE TO REMOVE IT ALL. We'll see how long I can keep this style until I lose my damn mind.


 My thumbnail - Moon with starry sky. Apologies for my shitty camera. Also, my nail polish technique could be bested by most 5 year olds. ALL OVER MY FINGERS. But I'm too damn lazy to clean it up with polish remover and Q-Tips, so I usually just let it be and when I shower usually it cleans up.


My other fingers - not very good - I think if I do something like this again, I'll just do a coat of the Kaledoscope instead of shitty stars/comets.


It was a really fun thing to do together and I hope we do it again, and maybe next time Boy will use less polish.

Alright...as an obsessive blog reader I'm throwing several things at you sis.
1. Pick a better layout-clean, simple, especially with makeup which has a lot of color. Make yourself a nice header as well-your font is going to give karen a heart attack if she ever sees it.
2. This brings me to Fonts. Pick one. Pick two. On your page you have 5 I see straight off the bat. Yuck.
3. Use proper english or close to it. 'ply' does not mean apply, and nobody needs to read "shit' or 'shitty' three times in one post. Referring to your bf ad Boy is also obnoxious, at least The Boy.
4. Pictures-Wait until day and use natural light or adjust your yellows in photoshop because its awful. Set it up nicely, if your going to show me product, like it or not, make it look decent so I can see what it is.
5. If you don't like the product, yes I understand explaining it-but don't Destroy it. not necessary and I don't think anyone cares about how much you hate it-tell us what you like on something else.
6. CAPSLOCK IS EVIL. I suggest since it is in your title, if you do want to use it, again font, and second maybe use it only in titles of posts. Why is capslock your name anyway.

Also testing the nailpolish on taped skin is strange, just paint your thumb, its prettier.

Okay, Ive shredded you. Apology. But you could have a seriously sweet blog here. You hsould have more about how you do your makeup. Seriously every day of my life--

Also email karen or I in a while if you need help with design/logo-She has finals for the next week but if she could design you a logo thatd be great for her portfolio.
