HAPPY 1st OF MARCH!!!
We have new kittens at The Kitten Cam which gives me something to watch whilst I do my nails. They are adorable. I love black cats!
This weeks challenge is BLUE! I'm not the biggest fan of the colour blue. I used to love it as a kid, then I grew out of my tomboy stage & became more girly. I don't actually have a huge blue selection in my nail polish collection
I was going to do a blue ocean type design, then I saw Sammy at The Nailasaurus had done this, & after seeing her AMAZING mani, there was no way I was going to touch that one, not without a lot of practice (& tears!)
In the end, I've gone with a simple gradient. As I've said before, it's something I struggle with so will use any excuse to practice the technique.
I used Sally Hansens 'Navy Baby' & a silver L&B polish. I still need to work on my sponging, as it still has sponge marks which is annoying.
As you know I'm a big SH fan, however I find the darker shades stain my skin like I've never known. As you can tell, I might have got a bit OTT on the clean up, & then I led in a bath for an hour. I think I've managed to do a good enough job.
You may also be able to tell I broke the nail on my little finger. Sad Face. He's being held together by some nail glue but this weekend I will have to sort him out as he's a tad ugly, poor fella.
One last thing. My Mum thinks she has a spare camera lying around. This means I get a hand me down & may finally be able to get some decent photos of my manicures, which will make easier viewing too.
Good times.
EDIT: I almost forgot, please go visit my lovely friend, Kathie's Blog. She's pretty awesome.
