A Splash of Pink

So I'm trying to figure out whether I have been blogging for me or for attention, and as I try to figure this out, I will not be posting as often or as frequently.  Ultimately, I want my blog to be an extension of my own creative efforts, and I don't want it to be a means through which I gain popularity or attention.  But if you do really enjoy this blog, thank you so much for your support :)

I have been feeling so...bland recently.  I can't conjure up clear images of what I want on my nails.  However, I have also been experimenting a lot with eyeshadows and different eye looks, so I am still playing with colors in that sense.

For this manicure:

• Base Coat - Base Coat by Finger Paints
• Base Colors - aruba blue by essie, I Gotta Blush on You by Sephora by OPI, & Shrimply Devine by Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure
• Pink Matte Glitter - Blush Pink by KleanColor
• Filigree Decal - from bornprettystore (HL 201)
• Top Coat - Matte Me Crazy by NYC

Approximate Completion Time: 1.5 hours

I had learned online that to make a gradient easier to clean up, you can simply apply glue around your nails and letting that glue dry before sponging on the gradient.  That's what I did, and it worked very well!  I enjoy having less to clean up.  Plus, glue is fun to peel off your fingers.  Reminds me of my childhood days...

I don't know when I'll be posting again, but please stay tuned! :) You can follow me via email, on tumblr, or even on twitter!  All those links are to the right (in the side bar).  Aside from that, I hope you all have a wonderful day! :D
