Butterfly Love

I just thought this title was super cute. :D

Over the past two weeks I've picked up some new nail polish, one of them was Revlons Not So Blueberry. The color is what drew me to it, but then I noticed it was a scented one! I've heard about these but was pretty excited to see for myself if it was truly scented... It is! While I painted my nails I got the sweet scent of blueberries.

Painting my nails might be the wrong hobby since I'm very impatient with waiting for them to dry before moving on to the next step! Also I start cleaning up while they're practically still wet, leaving some sort of smudge haha

While I taped off for the french they were still tacky, leaving the tape to pull of some of the nail polish :(

After putting on my topcoat, they were still taking a while to dry. I don't know why I didn't use my SV! So I got annoyed and took everything off, then quickly painted my nails with Shower Together by China Glaze. Now looking back at these pictures I'm kind of upset, I really like this manicure!

Well this post seems kind of rambly. So I'm just gonna give you the pics now. :) Hope you like them!

Not at all planned!

So the mani I have today is not what I planned to do at all! I recently saw a picture on Pinterest of butterfly nails, which then reminded me that cutepolish on Youtube did a tutorial on those as well.

Well....I gave it a try and after trying it on only two nails I immediately took it off, it looked so hideous! I don't know if my nails are too tiny or short or if I'm just not that experienced yet.

So I just painted my nails and then let whatever happen just happen. I had no idea this was the way it was gonna turn out, but I'm pretty happy with it!

My nails are never ever perfect, something always winds up getting smudged or ruined or stamped crooked! It always used to irritate me, but now I'm perfectly fine with that, that's just the way I am!





I used China Glaze SECRET PERI-WINK-LE as the base, and Sally Hansen Black Out for the tips and dots.

This picture was taken outside. It wasn't very sunny out. :(
























This picture was taken inside, but next to my window.
