Deep

Hello all!  While you're out enjoying life, please keep safety as your top priority and remember that life indeed is futile.  There was an unfortunate event here and it's been a grim reminder to me how fleeting my existence really is.

For this manicure:

• Base Coat - Base Coat by Finger Paints
• Base Color - Angela by Julep
• Stamp Color - White by Konad
• Dotting Color - Snow Me White by Sinful Colors
• Top Coat - Double Duty Strengthening Base & Top Coat by Sally Hansen
• Stamp Plates Used - SH 208 & SH 223
• Tools Used - dotting tool

The base color sends off these vibes of something that's mesmerizing and mournful.  I took a photo with flash to see if it had more dimension:

Mesmerizing and mournful.  I'm also listening to Zelda's Lullaby right now and it kinda fits the theme...

Thanks for reading my blog today!  I hope you have a wonderful day, and stay safe please! :)

Water Park Fun

Hello all!  I was going to upload this post sooner, but one thing led to another and now I'm finally able to do so, after making one thing of 10x native gel buffer and wiping down the legs of at least 100 chairs, maybe more.  I'm a strong woman.

I went to a water park yesterday with my boyfriend and some other friends :) my nails kinda match my swimsuit, but it's not too obvious...the water park was fun though!  For the first time in my life, I didn't have to carry all the tubes and stuff by myself.  This is what true love is - your significant other stepping up to carry all the tubes for the rides.  Just kidding.  True love is other things too, but for the sake of time we won't get into that.

We also got Dippin' Dots ice cream!  I love their ice cream.  I would eat it all day if my wallet didn't stop me.

Here's what my nails looked like for the event:

I know my nails look bumpy, but those bumpy things are actually just sparkles.  Now I know better than to try to photograph sparkles in direct sunlight.  I made my mistake.  I can own up to it.  I will live.  I will learn.  I will grow stronger.

Summer Polka

Hello all!  How has your summer been so far?  And for any readers in the southern hemisphere, how is winter so far?  Please let me know in the comments section below :) every day is a busy day for me!  I wake up early, I go to work, I go to sleep early.  I think this is what it's like to have a real job, and I'm not sure if I'm ready to make that commitment with reality.

To take my mind off of these things, I painted my nails with a palette of colors that my boyfriend helped me choose hu hu hu :)

I'm going to be straying away from my traditional white background for my nail art pics.  Half of the reason is so I can keep the pics new and fresh - now you get to see nail colors in direct sunlight or with a different background color so as to give you more perspectives of colors.  The other half of the reason is because I'm always out and about now, and if I want to keep blogging, I have to be able to take pictures in these conditions so that I'm not putting a strain on the time I get to spend with others.

But back to the nails!  Read on after the jump to find out more :)

Soft Punk

Hello everyone!  I hope you are all doing great :) I know I'm posting this on Father's Day, but uh...holidays don't affect my posting schedule.  But if you're a father or if you have a father, go celebrate him.  Thank him for creating you.  And he'll probably thank you for his own tax benefits or something.  I'm still too young to understand parenthood.

But anyways, today I am bringing you these nails:

I think "soft punk" is an appropriate way to describe these nails...I really just wanted to stamp something onto my nails, and this is the end result.
