Sally Hanson Triple Shine swatch

Normally I don't wear just plain polish. I always add something, but when I saw this new Sally Hanson polish, I just fell in love with it. I seriously couldn't wait to put it on and try it out! I got the Triple Shine-Great White. I loved how it looks so shimmery, like snow! Oh, ignore the bad cuticles... I have a bad habit of biting around my nails and not moisturizing enough... especially now that's it's winter time...

It is a pretty sheer polish... This is actually only 2 kind of thick coats. I've seen where some people need 3 or 4. I could have used 3 probably, especially on that pinky nail, oops. But I just love this! So there is probably the one and only plain nail polish post I'll ever do! :) Guess, I can't really say that, but still.

Camo!

Hi! It was so nice to have a three day weekend! I need those more often... actually being over 6 months pregnant, I really should start cutting back my hours a little. With each passing week, I get more and more achy. My hips hurt the most, same with my lower back... Oh well, it's all worth it!

So it's hunting season and I have been wanting to go out for an easy hunt, but things just haven't worked out for me yet. I'm hoping this weekend I'll get a chance to go out and hopefully get my deer quickly! :) Ha, wishful thinking, but ya never know. So in honor of hunting season, I had to do camo nails.

I started off with a clear coat for my base, Sally Hanson-Flawless. I sponged some gold next (elf-Blushing Beauty) then randomly added dots of other colors. The green is Sinful Colors-Beau Khaki, black is Wet N Wild-Black Cream and I added extra blobs of the gold color to bring it out more. So there you have it, cute, simple camo!

More one stroke flowers

This weekend was pretty relaxing for me. We picked up some car seats for the twinsies Saturday morning and I spent the afternoon doing nothing! It was so nice. I had time to sit and do my nails and I decided that since it had been so long since I tried one stroke flowers, I would try again. Only one really turned out like what the pictures on the internet show, but that's ok. The rest turned out alright. I needed a smaller angled brush and I tried using a smaller straight brush, but neither worked that well. Guess I'll have to try to look up more nail art brushes one of these days!

The picture above is the one that looked more like how I wanted it to, and for some reason I was able to do it with my left hand!! Odd... but it's what I was trying for.

I was trying for the look like the one that actually turned out, but for some reason, I just couldn't get it to work right. Like I said, it could have just been that I needed a better, smaller brush. I would rinse it off in nail polish remover after almost every flower. I'm sure that is the wrong thing to do because the brush would get really stiff and would just smear colors instead of painting them on nicely. Oh well, maybe the next time I try they will look better. Oh I used Sally Hanson- Champagne Toast as the base (two coats) and the flowers were done in elf- Red-y or Not and Sally Hanson - White On. I can't remember what the leaves are... Sinful Colors - something...
