Nail Funk Finally Over!

So for the last 2 - 3 weeks my nails have been plain...not by choice, but I just haven't been inspired by anything to do my nails.  Well after starting this blog yesterday, I found more motivation!  Yayyyyyy!!! 

Today, I woke up and tried to do a new design that I'd seen on another blog, but was stopped in my tracks.  I was stopped in my tracks when the polish I wanted to use (China Glaze: Turned Up Turquoise [Neon]) didn't want to work with me...I mean I opened the bottle and it was so thick it reminded me on molasses!
Luckily, I had some polish thinner and attempted to correct the situation and tried the design on fingernails molds first.  This is my attempt...

Blue and Teal with a heart and some shimmer

Now, I know it isn't horrible, but in person the finger on the right still wasn't what I had expected.  Anyway, I scraped that idea and decided to revisit a design that I had done before using my college colors.  Below is the original design

Blue and Yellow slant original

Remix of the original using the following:

• Sally Hansen: Mint Sprint Insta-Dri
• NK Nail Enamel:  Amarillo
• Milani Nail Art:  Black
• Kiss Brush-On Nail Art:  White
• Kiss Brush-On Nail Art:  Silver Glitter
• Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen:  Black and White
• Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat

And here is the "ficky ficky remix" (I always wanted to be a DJ...lol)

Mint sprint and Amarillo slant design

I'm so glad to be out of a nail design funk! Now its lunch time and my leftover Chipotle is calling my name, so I'm gonna take a line from Chris Brown and say "Deuces"!

So Why am I starting a blog?

As we all can see, this is my first post on this blog.  Let's start with some reasons why I'm starting to blog...

1) I've been doing my own nail designs now for about a year and am always getting compliments, so I figured why not share my new found love with the world.

2) I'm a teacher and currently on summer vacation and am running out of things to do.

3) I look at other people's nail design/nail product blogs, so I figured there are people out there that'll look at mine too.

So today I officially start my journey as a blog writer!

This was my first attempt at my own nail designs...turned out pretty good and I got tons of compliments!

Well, be expecting more exciting designs and product reviews to come in the future!

Smooches!
