I don’t know why this photo is so grainy. I took a bunch and, sadly, this was the best one. Maybe I need a new camera…

Colors Used:

China Glaze - Peachy Keen
Finger Paints - Tiffany Imposter 
OPI - Girls Just Want to Play

Quick side note on Peachy Keen - While I absolutely adore the color, the formula is horrible. It takes longer to dry than any other nail polish I’ve ever used, and it was especially tricky because it would feel completely dry, but  when I bumped into something (as I often do) it would smudge the entire nail. 
I’d suggest trying to find a similar color in a different brand because I honestly don’t know if it’s worth the hassle.

Decided to try out a new nail shape. So far I’m really liking it. Although, I think I might’ve filed down my ring and pinky fingers a wee bit too much.

Colors Used:

China Glaze - Life Preserver
Sally Hansen - Blue It

Look what I made!

It’s not perfect, but it was only my first try. And it’s still pretty cool, if I do say so myself.

So these took forever. Partially because of all the lines, and partially because it’s after one in the morning and I might be getting just a tad bit groggy.

It might just be the exhaustion, but they kinda remind me of a toy giraffe…

Some of you may have noticed that my nails are now ridiculously short. 
I was growing them out and they were doing pretty good, but then one of them somehow cracked pretty far up. 
I super glued it, which has held up well, but I decided to chop them all off and not risk another break.
