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!

Bright flowers

I didn't really know what to do for my nails. I wanted something pretty, but quick and easy. Que the flowers, my go-to art. These are simple flowers made with a dotting tool ( that didn't work like I thought it would). But they are fun and springy, like the weather finally!

I thought my dotting tool would work more like the end of a bobby pin ad make nice little circles. I guess the one I have it for pretty tiny dots or something because it didn't work that well. I had to really get a lot of polish onto it so my little flowers aren't perfect. But I still like them! I used a Sally Hansen quick dry for the the base. I think it's White on White maybe? I'm so bad at remembering the names. Then I added all the dots, starting with the petals and doing the centers last, all with Wet 'N Wild polishes. For the leaves I used two different colors. I started with the darker green, Sinful Colors is the brand I think, then I added a dot of a minty green, another Sally Hanson. I really like the contrast on the leaves. I think I'll use a creamier white next time though.
