Today, I'm wearing nails I painted back in August. *Click Here*

They're based on Robin Moses Nail Art.

I brought these nails along with many of the other nails I own in the car when we moved.  I used Kiss Everlasting Real Short Length. They are the ones that look like gel nails. #5424B/EFS01

Here's a pic

 

 The old box had "Salon UV Gel Effect" but now it doesn't 

so I have to go by the numbers to get the pink gel nail base.

I put the ones I have in this empty Kiss blank nails box.

Yesterday, I went to TJ Maxx and even though I don't need any more nail polish I succumbed and bought this:

Your Hut or Mine, Fair Game, Da Bush, Lion Around

Da Bush, and Lion Around

Your Hut or Mine, and Fair Game

Probably strange to show the bottles without swatching the colors. 

I'll get to that one day...once we're out of this hotel and settled.

I've been so stressed by this move, and buying a home, I've reverted back to stripping the bark off my nails. They're just sub-nubs now.  I'm carrying a matching set of black luggage under my eyes.  We're hoping the ordeal will be over soon. My husband and I are just wrecked.

But when I put on some nails, ahhh...I feel so much better. This length is really comfortable for me, and gives me a feeling a being pulled together. Does that make sense?

(Also, the glue on nails keep my hands out of my mouth. :x)

I want to say thank you and welcome to my new subscribers!

Time to go make lunch. Take care and I'll see you soon!

Daisy French Tips

 (This post was scheduled while I am away)

A little while ago, I posted my Robyn Moses inspired Daisies nail art. I really loved how they turned out, but those nails are medium length, and sometimes, I have trouble doing things with such long nails. I wanted to see how the daisies would look on real short length nails as a french tip manicure.

Nails:

Tools:

Polishes:

Confetti Silver Slippers, Sally Hansen Lavender Cloud, China Glaze Swing Baby, Wet n Wild The Wonder Yellows, Kiss Nail Art Paint White, Piggy Polish Mystic

I used the same techniques and polishes as before with one change. I subbed China Glaze Jitterbug for the the Confetti Silver Slippers.

China Glaze:

• With Lavender Cloud, I filled in the curves on the french tips.
• After that dried I painted 2 coats of Jitterbug
• Once that was dry, I painted the daisies with Lavender Cloud.
• While the daisies were drying, I added the centers with Swing Baby, using the larger dotter.
• I went over the tips of the daisies with the white nail paint, using the small brush.
• With the smaller dotter I dabbed The Wonder Yellows over the Swing Baby.
• When everything was dry, top coat each nail entirely.

This was another one that was hard to photograph.

I really liked how they turned out.

What are your impressions of this nail art?

Update: Here is a pic of me wearing the nails.
