Play time

by Cheryl Cheryl

I was thinking that Chicago was going to just skip right over Spring. But alas, the weather is starting to get some act right. FINALLY! And with the warming temperatures, I was feeling more playful…on my nails, at least. I started by chopping them off which is always like a fresh start and always seems to make nail art more fun for me. I am also seemingly way more productive. Then…..

A bunch of Essie colors and a couple OPI colors later…. along with some
dots with acrylic paint in: yellow, green, blue, pink and gray

SweetTarts

Well, my “regular” polish phase ended abruptly when I purchased new gelish no-chip colors this week.  It’s sad that I have polish ADD.  I really don’t know how people WANT to keep the same polish for two whole weeks.  LOL. 

So I did my no-chip manicure… let’s see how long I can keep it.  This will definitely be a challenge.  I give myself until Sunday before I absolutely have to remove this and change the polish. Smile

Regular polish is so much fun.

I was playing in acetone (read: doing a client’s manicure), and forgot I didn’t have on no-chip polish…. so I got to change my polish (read: my manicure got trashed, lol).

That’s when I realized, I can’t wait for summer.  Not necessarily for the heat…. because y’all know how much I LOVE snow… but, I can’t wait for the summer colors! I got a jumpstart:

OPI – “In My Back Pocket”, “Greenwich Village” & “The It Color”
