Galaxy

This design has been all over the internet and I finally got a chance to try it out! I participated in a service auction whose benefits went to Relay for Life. I was auctioned off and my service was to do someone's nails.I got to paint my friend Rachel's nails. She wanted me to do galaxy nails. Here's how they turned out:

I forgot to take a photo myself before she left, so thanks, Rachel, for the photo!


I'm hoping to do my own nails sometime soon so look for another post by me at the end of the week. (Two posts in one week?! wat?)

See you later!

Blue and Pink Gradient

Tonight was the first time I've painted my nails in a very very long time. For me, a 'very very long time' is a month. I know, it's awful. Between school work, extracurricular events and attempting to have a social life, I've been pushing aside my nail hobby. It's been the toughest semester yet and a few unfortunate things have happened in my personal life recently. It made me happy to finally get to do something that I used to love to do.

But anyways...

Here's what I painted: It's a pink, white and blue gradient. This is my first time doing a gradient with a sponge. I used one of those make up sponges from the drug store. It's not perfect, but it's my first try and I like how the colors combined. They're bright, Spring colors.

I used 5 colors starting from the tips: Mesmerize by Essie, Blue Me Away by Sally Hansen, White Tip by Sally Hansen, Sweetie Pie by Maybelline, and Bubblegum Pink by Sally Hansen

The colors are a lot brighter and bold in person. I know I've written before that the nail designs look better in person than in a photo, and it still applies. Sigh...It always will apply. 

Hope you are enjoying the warming weather! The trees are still blossoming here and they're so beautiful! Flowers always brighten my mood.
