sea dreams

Hey guys! Nothing is more summery than the sea. I love water and how the color changes from light to dark. For my nails this week, I wanted to do a gradient that mimicked the colors of the sea. I started off with two coats of a light blue and let dry for 10 min. Then, with a makeup sponge, I sponged the darker and lighter blue on to the nail. moving the sponge up a down a bit to get the colors to fade. I added a glitter top coat and a few jewels to finish off the look. Polishes Used; Essies in bikini so teeny (light blue) and butter please (blue). China Glaze in Fairy Dust (glitter).  See you guys next week.

The cut wasn't too deep, but it did separate my nail from my skin in one area so I had to give it some time to heal before mending it. I kept track of the growth of the cut on my nail in the photos below:   Once my nail healed enough that it didn't hurt anymore, I went to repair it with a nail rescue kit.    First, you brush on some nail glue.    While the glue is still wet, dip it in the nail repair powder. When that sets (after few seconds), brush off the extra. I did this twice to get a real solid fill.   To top it off and seal it, I painted on a good base coat. The cut took about three months to grow out to the tip of my finger, which would allow me to file it out, but . . . ...

Hello! As some of you may know, I'm a big BTS fan. You also may know that BTS recently released their new full album Love Yourself: 'Tear.' Alongside the album, they also released a music video for their song "Fake Love." The video has breathtaking visuals and is an amazing song; I highly recommend watching it here to see the inspiration I used for my nails. Polishes Used; Morgan Taylor in All White Now and Little Black Dress . Essie in Baby's Breath (white/cream(index)), no place like chrome (silver), getting groovy (gold), and mooning (gray/blue). OPI in The "It" Color (yellow). Zoya in Jacqueline (cream(ring)).Pacifica in Hustle (deep gold). Hope you guys like the nails. See ya.
