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. 

Elephants!!

I saw a picture the other day, browsing on Pinterest, of a baby elephant. It was a drawing so it wasn't a real picture but I thought it was just so cute. So i decided to try to do elephants on my nails! I was so excited to get home and start working on them! It was a little harder than I had thought, but I kept it pretty simple and I just love it! I can't stop looking at the cute little guys!
Anyways on to the nails!

It's kinda hard to tell, but the little ring finger guy is an elephant sitting down. It was hard to get little detail lines in there. The thumb one is supposed to be an elephant sitting down and facing front. It's much harder to draw the design on a nail than it is on a bigger piece of paper!

Aren't they just so cute! I just love them. I wish the thumb would have turned out a little better,but I still like it. Doing theses left handed for my other hand was not as easy. I'm usually really good at painting left handed, but these ones were a little harder to get down. They are still cute, but I didn't take a picture of that hand.

 I used Wet 'N Wild - Sugar coat as my base. Sally Hanson XtremeWear- White Out was the french tip. The dots are Wet ' Wild - Rain check, for the blue, a mix of elf - Cherry Bomb and the same white mixed for the pink, and the silver is Sinful Colors - Out of the World. The elephants were done in with the SC polish then outlined with elf - Misty Haze. I added some Sugar Coat to the ears for a little bit of pink. I think it's one of my most favorite designs! I seriously can't stop looking at the little ring finger guy :)
