Blue flowers

Well, no babies yet. I'm considered full term for twins on Sunday but I'm really hoping I can make it to February. That's only a week-ish away, I think I can make it! Granted, I'm really getting uncomfortable and I'm carrying babies that are a little over 5 pounds each! That's a lot of baby! My ankles definitely feel it.

Onto nails. It has been awhile and my nails were getting so long. I had to cut them anyways, so I decided to do some simple flowers. I chose blue for the flowers just because it's different than my usual pink.

You can't really tell, but the base coat is actually a very sheer, minty green color. I used Sally Hanson-Sea. If I did more than one thin coat, you could be able to tell, but I didn't want to make it too green. I might try a more green base with blue flowers another time. My pink is running out, so I had to come up with another base that wasn't just clear, or plain white. So the flowers are in Sally Hanson-Rain Check, white, Sally Hanson-White On and the leaves are Sinful Colors-Beau Khaki. After trying to remember what names are of colors, I realized that I use a lot of Sally Hanson! Ok, that's all for now.

Baby Shower!

I've been slacking a little on nails, just because I'm so exhausted all the time! I sleep as often as I can, which isn't very much anymore. I'm so uncomfortable all the time. But I can't believe my little guys will be here soon! In 4 weeks I'll be considered full term. That is just crazy! At my last appointment about a week ago, I was 32 weeks, measuring at 41! So my belly is definitely getting bigger. Though it doesn't really look that big, I don't think anyways. A lot of people say I look pretty small for twins. Goodness..I have so much to do to prepare, but I don't think I'll ever get prepared enough.

Anyways, this Saturday is my baby shower! So exciting :) Since my nursery theme is elephants, moon and stars, that's what I tried to do on my nails. This took me forever because I had to mix colors and redo some and had to get up and walk around every so often. But I like how it turned out! There are a few flaws, but I just couldn't bring myself to redo them again. I did do some touch ups after I took pictures. My phone just wasn't focusing and I just couldn't stand there forever so I just went with the ones I took before touching up.

Aren't they cute!! They really did take forever though. I can't remember all the colors I used, but most of them are Sally Hanson colors. Pink - Spun Sugar, White - White on, Yellow-can't remember, but it's mixed with the white to tone it down a little. Same with the blue. It's mixed with the white also. The gray is Sinful colors and the darker outlining is with ELF. I completely for got to look at color names, but I know I've used them before, so the names are on this blog somewhere. :/ I can update this later if I get some time. 

Winter Nails - Number 1

Well, it's that time. Time for a ton of winter/Christmas themed nail posts! I need to make a list of the ones I want to do. It helps with the motivation. Being 7 months pregnant makes doing nails difficult. I can only sit for so long before I just start to hurt. So here is this weeks nail art!

As I said about not being able to sit for too long... That's what happened when I got to the snowflakes on the pinky nail, so just ignore that one. :)

Sorry about the terrible lighting on this last picture... The base is Sally Hanson Triple Shine - Great White, my new favorite polish! I sponged Sally Hanson - White On onto the tips, even thought you can't see it very well, then I added Sinful Colors - Ice Dream to the tips. It was the first time using the Ice Dream. It's actually really pretty. I usually don't use a lot of glitter or blue colors, but this one I really liked. It has the big blue glitters and the rest is tiny silver glitter. It is very glittery! I did the snowflakes with a white nail art pen. It has a very fine brush which I need to find. None of my brushes are that fine. So anyways, I like how these turned out for the most part. They definitely look wintery.
