Spring Nails
April 11, 2012 @ 5:27 pm
I decided to paint my nails with an easter/spring theme last week. I love painting my nails (if you don't already know) because the process is fun for me, and the outcome makes me happy every time I look at my nails.
I went with a pastel green color with white polka dots and a little chick on my thumbs.
The green color is called Mint Sorbet by Sally Hansen. It came into mind because two weeks ago I painted a friend's nails, and at first she chose my Mint Sorbet color, but as soon as I applied it to one nail she freaked out at the bright color and decided to go for a less extreme color.
I decided pairing the green with some white polka dots would make it look softer and tone down the green a bit. I went for the chickie on my thumbs because when else will I be wearing yellow?! The white egg shell kind of tones down the yellow as well. I'm loving this polka dot deal; I'll probably do it more often to spice up plain nail polish if I don't do any designs!
P.S. My camera is still M.I.A. (but probably gone forever by now), sadly. However, I put my noggin to use and realized I could use my really old camera that I first had in 7th grade (that was 8 years ago!). It's missing some screws and has the battery life of 3 minutes max, but it gets the job done if I want to post a quick picture to my blog like this.



Ooh those nails are so cute ;3

Those nails look so cute. Normally I do not like nails done. But you did them well. Good luck on your old camera.

So sad that you're camera is still missing, but at least you have a back up :) Recently, my 13-month-old son broke my camera's screen, so now it's really hard to see what I'm taking pictures of :( I'll have to shell out the money for a new one one of these paydays…
Your nails turned out so cute!!!
I don't bother painting my nails anymore because with the baby, I've had to keep my nails really short :( When he was 2 weeks old, I accidentally scratched his head, HUGE scratch from like the front of his head all the way back and he just screamed like I was stabbing him! :( after that, I decided to keep my nails short!!! When I was pregnant, I did my nails really cute for Christmas, painting them red with a white snowflake on my thumbs and big toes (I made my toenails match!!) and then dots on the rest of my fingers and toes :) It turned out really cute :)

Your nails look so nice! I wish I could do cool things to my nails, haha, but, as it is, all I can do is paint on solid, plain colors, and even then I'm struggling!

Awww, your poor boy! It must have been a blood-curdling scream :'( Your Christmas nails sound really cute. No worries, you'll be able to deck out your nails again someday soon!

Aww thank you! <3 Honestly I was really bad at it at first, but it just takes some good polish, some patience to slow down your strokes, and practice

Hey hey, if anything, you've got that awesome polymer clay thing going on for you – that's definitely a good dose of cute! :)
