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 #2

Well, I didn't get as many nail art ideas as I wanted to do... I just get too tired and exhausted anymore. I had some time last night and I made myself do my nails just because I had to have something for Christmas! Hopefully they last that long... Since I didn't get to all the ones I wanted to do, I just kind of combined all of my ideas into one. The candy cane striping didn't turn out exactly as I had wanted... My brushes just aren't that good. I'll need some new ones. But the middle finger turned out the best for the striping! At least I got 1 out of 5! :)

The thumb is just little snowflakes. Then there is a Santa hat, holly, a snowman and a Santa belt. I had wanted to do some art with all holly berries and a winter scene with the snowman and trees. Oh well, another time. 

So I started with my new favorite base, the Sally Hanson Triple Shine-Great White. The candy tips are Sally Hanson-White On and ELF-Red-y-or not. I used the same red for all of the red, same with the white. Those are the major ones anyways. I forgot to look and see what the blue for the scarf was. Well that's all for now. I doubt I'll get any more art in until after Christmas so Merry Christmas!!

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!

Halloween

It took me a while to figure out what to do for my Halloween nails. When I finally did decide, I kept messing up and when I finally got done, I spilled a bottle of polish on my table. I was cleaning up and when I checked to make sure it wasn't anywhere else, sure enough there was splashed polish across two of my finally finished nails. So once again, I had to redo them. At least it was on the clear part so all I did was wipe off the base coat, but left the tip. It worked out just fine. Can't even tell :)

I had a more elaborate idea with spooky trees and bats and ghosts, but I just didn't feel like going all out. This was simple and cute and I like how it turned out. I was going to do ghosts on the tips, but they just weren't turning out out right. So pumpkins it was!

I used Sally Hanson- Flawless as my base, it's just a clear coat. The Black is Wet N Wild- Black Creme, orange is Wet N Wild-Sunny Side Up and the silver is Wet N Wild-Silvivor. It's my favorite silver!

Fall Flowers

Hi all. Well my pink and blue hearts from last week should have been just blue hearts. Guess I will be having two boys! I was a little disappointed, but I still already love my boys, even if I will be outnumbered!

I had some time yesterday to sit down and do nails again.This look didn't take very long at all actually. I wanted to do some flowers, but make them more fall-ish. So orange and yellow seemed to be the best choice! I couldn't decide what hand looked better, but I think I like my right hand better...

You can't really see it, but after the base coat, I did a little bit of a gold gradient. I should have gone up a little higher with it, but since the base is already shimmery, it's hard to see the gold...

Base was Sally Hanson-Champagne Toast. Gold gradient-ELF Blushing Beauty. For the flowers the yellow is Sally Hanson-Mellow Yellow mixed with S.H.- White On. The orange is Wet n Wild-Sunny Side up mixed with White On. The brown centers is ELF-Smokey Brown and the leaves is Wet n Wild-Sage in the City.

Gender Reveal Day!

Well yesterday marked 20 weeks along!! Over halfway there! Today is the anatomy scan for the twinsies and I finally get to see them again and find out what they are! As long as they cooperate that is. I decided to do my nails with pink and blue hearts. I would like one of each I think, but really as long as they are healthy, I don't care what they are!

I just did a simple french tip with pink and blue hearts. It was pretty easy and didn't take long at all!

I started with the usual base coat. Sally Hanson- Sugar Coat, white is Sally Hanson- White on White. The pink is mixed Elf - Read -y- or Not and White on White. The blue is Wet n Wild and the tiny bit of glitter you can barely see on the white is another Wet n Wild, but I forgot to look at the names of them.You can see the glitter better in person, but it just gives it a little something extra! So here's hoping is a boy and girl!!

Silver French

I actually had time to do my nails! Well, a little bit of time. I did my nails really fast. It's a pretty simple design so it didn't take me that long to do. I've done it once before, but that picture is on my old phone so I can't see it, but I know I used a different silver.

I used Wet 'N Wild Sugar Coat as my base and did the french tips and dots in Wet 'N Wild Silvivor.

 I really like the silver french tip. It's just a little something different without being too bold. I haven't been able to find a bold color that I really like on me... I'll have to keep looking I suppose! There are more polishes out there!
