It isn’t very often that my family all gets together. We had
the opportunity to all get together this weekend though to celebrate my parents’
35th anniversary and had a blast. In good Minnesota fashion there
was way too much food, including an entire table of desserts. I parked myself
right next to that table of deliciousness with my beer in hand and had myself a
grand time. I have seven nieces and nephews on that side of the family; they
are almost their own baseball team, although I’m not sure how well a 3 month
old would be able to handle a baseball. It’s awesome to see all my brothers as
dads, growing up they had the unspoken rule that they could tease me all they
wanted but no one else better try it, and it is just cool to see them
protecting their kids now.
I thought it would be cool to do nails for a love story
since these were the nails I had at the anniversary party. I love the movie Up, it has such a cute love story (and
yes it always makes me cry). For this manicure I used a crap ton of colors,
Orly Lemonade, Mayhem Mentality, White Tips,
and Skinny Dip, OPI You’re Such a Budapest, China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise, Mahogany Magic, and Pool Party, and Sally Hansen CSM Barracuda.
Disney's Up nails
I was very pleased with how these nails turned out. I wish I
would have made the balloon strings a little darker, but besides that I’m very
happy. These are the first nails I’ve ever done that I modified the design for
my right hand, I just put clouds on my right thumb since the house was so hard
to do in the first place.
The house is far from perfect but still pretty cute
I was really bummed when people didn’t immediately recognize
what the design was supposed to be, but it was pretty cool when someone did.
The nails were a big hit at the party and I got a lot of “you do that
yourself?!?!” which I love. Overall I would say these were a success J
