Roses and an update

Wow, it has been a really, really long time since I've done my nails. I've had a good reason though. I'm expecting TWINS in February!! I'm a little over 4 months along, 17 weeks 3 days to be exact. So the last couple months have been kinda rough between just being busy, and being nauseous and sick ALL THE TIME! I'm really hoping that phase has passed. I still have nausea in the morning, but it's not all day like it used to be. Thank goodness!

Well there is the update part, now to the nails. I decided to do these little roses because, well, who doesn't love flower nails! They are my go-to. And for it being the first time doing nails in months, I wanted something I knew I could do. They aren't perfect by any means. That's what happens when you don't practice, practice, practice!

I started with a base of Sally Hanson - Spun Sugar. I made the pink for the roses with elf-Cherry Bomb and mixed it with Sally Hanson - White on White. The darker red/pink is Cherry Bomb. I did the leaves with a Sinful Color polish and did some outlines with a Sally Hanson black.

They turned out ok for having not done nails in forever. The petals aren't as sharp and defined as I'd like them to be. From a distance they look fine! :) The pointer and middle finger are the best in my opinion. I'm hoping to try to get back on track and do my nails at least once a week. We'll see how that goes...
