Alright it has been a bit since my last post. Let me say why. I can't decide what to do next!! Plus my camera broke. I hope the picture I post today shows good enough the polish I put on today. I decided to try out some polishes that they call "textures". Basically, they are matted so not shiny and they are rough like sand. This one is called Milani and as you can see it is yellow. I decided this will be the color I am doing for Easter. :) I have also tried out a new basecoat/topcoat but I dislike it. Possibly, this is because I have such tiny fingers and the brush is so wide. But either way it just doesn't work as a basecoat for me. So back to the drawing board to find something more appropriate for moi. I have a bunch of polish coming in this week, so I hope to find a good camera to be able to take pictures and make you some good blog posts. I do have to say this is a fun journey into a very big world!! Everyday is learning something more whether it is just a crumb of information or an entire gold mine, you are always learning. Usually it is from my own mistakes, but I will figure it out! I hope this finds you well and I hope you like this polish!

Awesomeness Squared
I had to come share today...
First off let me share this:
Basecoat - good to protect your nails but don't get hardener it hurts your nails in long run!
Oil and water are necessary to nail health. It keeps them from becoming brittle or hard and let's us keep making them pretty and awesome. (jojoba is the best for cuticles)
Topcoat helps keep our polish and art on longer!
Okay that was what I have learned in a nutshell so far.
Now I mentioned the other day I was jumping off the deep end fast and had ordered some decals for Autism Awareness month. They arrived today! Of course I had to go ahead and fix up my nails to show everyone because I have had a super vision ever since I started this path. Now a few tips I just learned (yep I had a few mishaps again haha) do NOT touch the decals with your fingers it messes them up. Use your tweezers, so much easier ;) I decided to add the topcoat to streak my blue into the pieces. I wanted to do something fun and not so stiff. I hope you like my work as much as I enjoyed doing it and I enjoy looking at it. I hope it lasts for awhile because I don't want to take it off. SOOOOO CUTE!! If you want to find these decals just leave a comment and I can link you to them. :) This is SH Insta-Dry Blue polish and SH topcoat.
