It’s my birthday! But these are not my birthday nails, I
know it’s confusing. I write blogs ahead of time and at the time of writing this
I haven’t actually even painted my birthday nails, it’s a crazy world we live
in and I hope this revelation doesn’t make your mind explode. These are
actually the nails I had for my friend’s baby shower, she is having a boy so I
figured that blue nails were appropriate. I get so nervous at baby showers,
everyone was super nice but I feel like I’m wearing a giant neon sign that says
“I don’t like children”. Babies can sense fear, this is a well established fact,
and there are always babies at baby showers, they just glare at me with a
knowing look. Well, at least my nails looked cute.
This manicure slightly redeemed the sponging disaster that
was my last sponging attempt. For this manicure I used Sally Hansen CSM Barracuda, Orly Skinny Dip, and China Glaze Splish Splash. I did a base of the lightest blue (Barracuda) and then sponged the two darker blues on top of that.
Blue Gradient nails
I’m not sure what the mysterious black dots on my index
finger are from, if I were forced to guess I would say it is probably mascara. I
guess that’s how I roll. I really liked how these turned out, doing a base coat
of the lightest color worked out really well, it made the other blues stand out
and made it so I had more overall nail coverage than I usually do with gradients.
In case you were wondering this is my favorite hoodie
I’m kinda surprised with how well the pictures turned out,
while I was taking them I thought they would be too shiny and not show the
color change but I guess camera magic helped me out.
It’s a boy!
These nails ended up being great for the baby shower, much
better than the last ones. Congrats on your future baby boy Gayle J
