31DC2013 - Day 5: Blue

I know, I know, I'm a day late! I'm not late on the challenge, just late on the posting! Oops! I had a busy day yesterday, ended up going to the Apple Orchard with Zoey, and we were just busy all afternoon. Then, I had to work at 5 this morning, so I went to bed early. Oh well. At least I got my nails done!! Today's challenge was blue! I knew exactly which color I wanted to use. It's my newest blue, and it's so bright and beautiful! These nails were really simple, and they didn't turn out at all how I wanted them to, but I was content with them. Especially since I knew they were only going to be on for 24 hours! The colors I used were Sinful Colors Endless Blue (One of my favorites!) Studio M Darkest Black and a silver Sinful Colors polish. (Can't remember the name of it right now.) I really LOVE this blue, it goes on so well, it takes two thin coats and dries very shiny. It's a really pretty color.

 I didn't like the first design, so I took it off and started over. Here's what I ended up with!

What do you think? Check back soon for Day6: Violet!

Library Books!

So, laugh all you want, but lately I've been raiding the library for every possible book about makeup/nails/nail polish. I swear, everyone I know is bugging me to go to nail school, yada yada yada, but I'm just not sure if I want to do that! I love doing my nails, and friends, when I get a chance, but I feel like I have so much to learn! I look at all of the nail bloggers that I follow and think, "Ohmygosh I have such a long way to go!!" I've got a Saturday at home (a first, but only because my little girly needs her mama!) so guess what I'm going to do today?!?! (After laundry, cleaning, making lunch, etc. Blah.)

 

I'm so excited!! I'm really hoping that I find lots of good tips and tricks!  I haven't polished my nails yet today, or in the last few days, I've just been religiously applying Rejuvacote, in hopes that it will work some magic on my broken nails.. :(
