Day 67: New Nails and an Old Ring

I was doing my nails when my sister was cleaning the bathroom and she stumbled upon a very old ring of mine from about 10 years ago in a little box that was kept under one of the cabinets. Yes, THE ring. It was a nice surprise. 

As far as my nails go, It was my first time doing a style like this in acrylic and my first time doing an acrylic design on top of my nail. Usually I paint a design on. It was also my first time using my LED lamp and a gel top coat. It all ended up really nice however I was disappointed in the bow I did. It tool me so long to perfect my nails that I forgot to use white acrylic for the bow before applying the first coat on my nail so by the time I DID add white acrylic the original layer had already dried and made the rest a glaze color instead of white so it's messy and hard to tell what it is in my opinion but you learn from your mistakes so I know for next time.

Day 56: Holiday Nails

Day 21: Caviar Nails

So my lovely coworker knows how much I adore doing my nails with fun designs and she bought me a set of these fun glue-on nails that have micro beads on them (or caviar beads).

Day 7: Nail Forms and Acrylic

It was my second time ever doing a full set of nails in acrylic and first using ASP Form-a-Nail which I bought to make applying acrylic easier on me since I can't seem to get a smooth and steady line and the forms for these things give your a shiny smooth surface after applying. Welp, it was terrible for me because I started it all at 7:30 and didn't get done with everything until 11:15pm. It should NEVER take that long to do acrylic nails but I was being stupidly ambitious and wanted to do sparkles as an inlay and it just took SO MUCH time. It also doesn't help that my nail tool for shaping and filing have very little power to it so instead of it taking 30 seconds per nail to sort out it takes about 10 min or so per nail. It was a disaster to me only because of how friggin long it took and because it took so long I started to get impatient and hurried to get everything done with and so my nails are not as nice looking as I wanted but it's a start. For a first time it doesn't look so bad but at least now I know what to do next time for inlays.....kind of. Anywho if you are new to acrylics I DO recommend ASP Form-A-Nail because on initial application if you put the right amount of acrylic in the form, it comes out unbelievably nice. I wish I just left them as they were but I HAD to have sparkle -_-.
