String Of Pearls

Don't mind the uninspired title I just want to get my mani in for last week so i can show you the one for this week tomorrow *hopefully*


Also, at the gym this random instructor comes up to me and tells me all the workouts in the word can't help me unless i stop eating.

1) No-one asked you.
2) You don't know what I'm eating anyway,


is what i wished I'd said to him.
It's a good thing i carry a gun...shooting him was highly pleasing...obviously, my gun is imaginary. I still think people should mind their own business, what do you think??


Anywhoo on to my mani, i started with my Avon Base Coat and then used Avon coral Beat this is too sheer with one coat so i did two coats.



*Yes i know i own Avon nail polishes in abundance but that will change, when i get a little better at this*



                                                   *two coats wasn't quite enough either*


Then i used the Konad  plate M-79 and an old black nail polish that's too gloopy to use for anything else.


                                                             *i didn't clean up*



Finished it off with a new top coat, not lilac. I ordered it online its not a known brand and while I'm typing this almost a week since i did this mani there's very minimal tip wear on my left hand. My right hand fights wars so don't ask.  


*this is the full stamp*


 


I thought i'd show you my thumb cause it was the nicest

Nail Art Of The Week

Hello,
*well to no one in particular*

soo  I've decided to do a nail art of the WEEK (yes week cause i cant be trusted to do one every day)

This week I've got a polka dot themed nail art. Its pretty rushed up sorry but I'm hoping to get better with time :)







I started with Avon Base Coat then two coats of Avon Warm Black one is too sheer and then i used Konad Stamping Plate m-35 with Konad Special White Nail Polish to do the Dots and finished it off with a Top Coat.





                                              sorry about taking the pics without tidying up.



The stamp was not large enough to cover the nail in one go so i had to do it in two parts and a few dots overlap i like the overall effect though. i was also going to do a silver dot gradient on my ring finger but before i realised it i had put half a stamp on my finger...oh well maybe next time

P.S. The top coat i used was from a lilac French mani and it turned my polka dots purlpley pink! sorry yay! You can't see it in the pictures though.


Next up is a swatch and soon!
