Catching up a little

I haven't done much with my nails lately. So much going on with 2 toddlers! I can't believe they are almost 2 already! It goes so fast.

Here's just a few things I've done over the last couple months.

This is a quick one I did last night. Base is Essie -Marshmallow and the gold is Ulta 

Candy corn gradient for Halloween. The ring finger is way more blended. It was the first one I had tried and I didn't quite blend the rest of them as well, but it makes it more candy corn like. All are SH colors topped off with China Glaze - Fairy Dust

This was my favorite! I was sad when this started chipping.

I did this one a few months ago. I liked the idea, but my black was getting thick so I couldn't quite get the swirls how I wanted them to be. 

So there's most of what I've done lately. Here's hoping I can get some Christmas ones done!

I'm Back!

Things with two new babies have been pretty hectic, especially working full time on top of that. My little boys are almost 8 months old now and they have been such amazing little guys. I was lucky enough that they pretty much slept through the night since day one! It is awesome watching them grow, play and laugh with each other.

I'm slowly getting more time for myself, so I picked up a couple new polishes the other day just for fun and was inspired to do nails again!

I just kept it really simple and easy. I used my usual base (which after almost a year of no use, it sadly is thick) Sally Hanson - Sugar Coat. The glitter is the new one I bought, Rimmel - Glitter Bomb top coat. You can't tell, but the big glitters are a pretty rose pink. Hopefully, I get to do nails more often. I have some Halloween ideas I'd like to try.

Been Awhile! Gradient Nails

It has been a long time since I did my nails. Summer comes around and I just get busy. So summer nail art is always sporadic. But last night I decided it was just time to do my nails. I wanted to do a gradient since I have only tried it once and I did really like how it looked. So I decided on a pink and gold gradient and had to add some flowers because I just love flowers!

For the flowers, I tried for one stroke petals, but it didn't work out exactly as I had planned. But I still like them.

For the base, I used my favorite pink, Sally Hanson - Sugar Coat. For the flowers I mixed elf - Cherry Bomb and Sally Hanson Extreme Wear - White On. The gold was elf - Blushing Beauty.  Hopefully I can get to my nails a little more often. I almost forgot how fun it is to create pretty nails!
