Easter, Broken Nails and Gradient


For Easter I decided to do something simple seeing as how I had to work the day before.  I brought out my two favourite pastel colours.  I used China Glaze's Re-freshmint with China Glaze's Sweet Hook.  I then used one of Kiss' nail stripers for the silver triangle.  No tape was needed for this :)


I've been loving the gradient nails lately I used China Glaze's For Audrey for the lightest blue followed by OPI's Fly and then Sally Hansens Blue It and finally I used Essie's Mesmerize. The zebra stripes were Konad's m57 plate.


While I was at work my nail broke while opening a box it managed to stay on for a day and a half and when I finally bought nail glue it came off.  However I did find this awesome way to repair your nail even though I never got to try it :P  Check it out: http://musicalhouses.blogspot.ca/2010/07/how-to-fix-broken-nail-with-diy-tea-bag.html



Working all weekend is never fun but at least my nails were. You can also see that my nails grow really fast because this was two days after my broken nail came off. For the colours I used Sally Hansens Sunkissed with FingerPaints Expressionist Red.

Starfish


I booked my trip to Hawaii for September and seeing how it's a long way away I decided to paint some starfish on my nails.  I used China Glaze's For Audrey then I used Peachy Keen as the starfish with white dots on. 

September can't come soon enough!
