Wow, it has been so long since I have posted! I have been trying to work on my grad school project, so blogging hasn’t been my first priority. Oh yeah, plus this nasty cold. And I’ve been harboring a secret that’s eating me alive… Anyhow, on to last night.
Joey and I constantly lose tweezers. It’s bad. I bought one of those fancy ones with the pretty ladies… I put them in a certain spot in the bathroom so I would never lose them. Guess what? After Christmas they’re lost (I’m not accusing anyone here, because I know no one was in our house but us)! After turning the house upside down, Joey agreed we should buy some off of Amazon. We could get 3 pairs of contoured shaped ones for $4! Sweet! I won’t feel bad about losing these, they’re cheaper than the cheap ones at Wally World! The only problem: they’re ALL blue. Eww. If I’m gonna pluck tiny invisible hairs out of my forehead I would like for my tweezers to be fancy.
Last night, Joey put a movie on, and Freddy joined us. I was painting polka dots on the first and second pairs, and decided to do swirly flowers on the third pair. Freddy took notice and admired my abilities. I told him I would paint his nails next, expecting him to say no. Boy was I wrong! He put his hand out and asked for a skull! I painted a flower. :) I removed it and tackled the skull. I was all finished and proud of my work, and took a very fuzzy picture. When I went to try again, I knocked the nail, smudging the polish. The commotion got Joey’s attention. Somehow during all that he missed the memo that Freddy was getting his nail done! So… I removed it again, and painted the skull again. This time it was a little better (cuz I was experienced). I took pics and was proud of my work. Freddy said he’d wear it to school, too!
The Clean Up Wasn’t So Hot, But Over All, It Looks Great!
I started off with Seche Vite Base Coat, painted 2 coats of Milani White On The Spot, then used a dotting tool to create the skull with OPI Black Onyx. I shut the party down with CND Super Shiney Top Coat. I think I need more Seche Vite TC…
Here are my current nails:
Interlocking Dots
Ok, so I basically did this but stopped at #6. I started with Seche Vite BC, then painted OPI Italian Love Affair on the top half of my nail. I freehanded the bottom half with OPI Casino Royal (it dries so much darker than the bottle). I freehanded it because the dots cover any mistakes, and too many coats tend to chip. I finished with CND Super Shiney TC. I just love the interlocking dot look!
Hopefully next time won’t be so long!

What’s this secret you are harboring? Is it that your burfday is coming up?
Sure! For all my regular readers: I’m still going to the NO baby doctor in March. There is NO baby.
