If one thing is evident, it's that I'm not GOOD at nails, if that makes sense. More often than not, I'm just slapping on a few coats of whatever new polish I bought, not really caring if I get some on my fingers or allover my cuticles. Oh yeah...cuticles are a whole other thing. However, recently I started to give a shit, and I'm thinking that posting these horrible things at the end of my fingers will make me give even more of a shit. I'll never have long nails (I've tried!), but that's no excuse not to keep them nice, right?
Anyway.
Sally Beauty is having a sale on nail polish (buy 2, get 1 free), and I decided to stop in to see if there was anything I liked. I almost left empty handed, but a display in a random spot caught my eye. I picked up three shades of Finger Paints, two from the Gumdrops & Lollipops collection (Blue Raspberry Taffy and Grape Gumball) and the third, Cerulean Seascape.
Purple is my favorite color, so the purple shade was the first to go on today. I also had a shade from China Glaze's Prismatic collection that I haven't gotten around to using yet.
Prism!
Originally I wanted to use both colors on all fingers, but...nah. So here's the end result:
Damn. I tried to clean up as best as I could, but I did miss a few spots evidently. But enough being self-conscious! Grape Gumball is awesome. It went on great and I think I could have gotten away with using one coat. It's shimmery, it's pretty, there's potential of it becoming a favorite of mine. I used two coats of Prism as well, and I'm liking how it looks. The picture doesn't do justice, as a desk lamp doesn't make great lighting. I can't wait to see how these look in the sun!
