Just a quick post for today. On Friday I stopped at my ULTA and picked up a few Essies, and Orlys. I. Love. ULTA. It's the best store I've ever visited. :) Anyway, here is Essie Mesmerize:
Above: Essie Mesmerize- Alone, with Seche Vite topcoat. I wore this alone for two days, and then it got a little boring, and since this is the perfect blue (Essie calls it a "Royal Va Va Blue") I decided to add some nautical nail art. :)
Above: Essie Nautical: With free-hand stripes on the tiny toes, and a free-hand anchor on the big toes. I started out trying to stamp the anchor from plate bm08 in China Glaze Cheers to You, but... that didnt look good: first, I missed the center of my toe on the first try, so then I tried stamping randomly all over (FAIL!). Second, it was too sheer. Third, the stamp was too tiny. So I did this! And I really cannot take my eyes off of it..
I got so many compliments at school today! :) Thanks Alyssa, and Ms. Portwood, specifically! (if you read it that is..) I know I really shouldn't put this up until I get pics of the actual haul, but I couldn't wait! :)
Thanks for reading!
