Hi all! I have some new nail art for you today! I'd been wanting to try UCLA nail art for some time now, but I was a little intimidated. I finally got around to it today, since we played -and beat- Cal today! (I went to ONE football game when I was a student. I cared more about soccer back then.) Well, I started last night and I almost gave up, but the idea of giving up was far worse than trying and getting it wrong.
This is the final result. It's not too terrible, right?
I used the following colors for my UCLA nail art.
SinfulColors Twilight Twinkles and Let's Meet
NYC Quick Dry Crown Gold
NYC Long Wearing Enamel Boat Basin
Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Cinnamon
Wet n Wild French White Creme.
I love nothing more than a bargain, and I especially love nothing more than bargains I am not expecting.
Chris and I decided to do some light shopping and we ended our day at TJ Maxx. We were about to check out and I came across some treasure: nail polishes and other beauty tools. I went straight for the nail products. The prices on Essie and China Glaze bottles were unreal - $2.99-4.99. They also had some OPI and Orly polishes, but these weren't in the best condition.
It's kind of a bummer when your manicure lasts less than a day. Today, I confirmed an old suspicion - my nails and products from Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails line don't work well together.
The big offender:
I finally got a chance to pamper my hands after some amateur carpentry. I have a small cut on my right hand near my cuticle and it stung as I was removing my other manicure with pure acetone. Not fun.
Today I used FingerPaints Monet Money. I'd been looking for the perfect green, but couldn't find it with my usual brands. I found this gorgeous dark green on one of my visits to Sally Beauty (B2G1 free). Once I saw the name, I had to buy it. I am a fan of Monet and the Impressionists, so this was a must-buy.
