not my best work.... but practice makes perfect, i guess... ;P



So, I had this concept for "Strawberries+Ice+Cream" nail art.... (get it?, haha... :P) 

So, I did "Strawberries & Creme" for my toe nails...

I was going to put the "cap" (the leafy part) of the strawberry, but I got lazy so I put a flower sticker that kinda looks like a strawberry flower...

So, now my hands, which proved to be a little trickier than first conceptualized... (But it was probably because I didn't plan it out properly...)

This is my first attempt, with Nails Inc.'s Sweets Way and Topping Lane... I wanted to do like a marble/swirly effect, but it did not come out as expected...

I was pretty disappointed with it, so the next day, I decided to re-do the ring fingers, and just simply do one color... So here is the "revised" version...

The polish is Hello Kitty's Pink Sprinkles which seems to be a better match for my theme... ;P  I did do all my nails in gel, but since I had to re-do the ring fingers (and I didn't have time to pull out my gel gear again), these were done with just polish and I used Nail Inc.'s Kensington Caviar Gel Effect Top Coat, which looked just like gel when it was dry... (However, I managed to smush them while in the shower, so there you go, the downside to using regular polishes...) (- -;)

So these are not my best executions, but I'm going to see my dear niecey in a few days, so let's see if she gives out the same squeal as last time... ;)
