Bag-Inspired Water Themed Mani

its Friday!~ at last!

this upcoming Sunday is Independence Day in the States. usually, my work place is all about taking holidays off & spending time with family, but since we dont even open on Sundays, we're not even given a "holiday" break. we're still opening on Saturday & even on the following Monday! its ridiculous! and this Saturday is my first time going back to work on a Saturday since last September! i took a Korean class in September..and the only day that the class is..is on Saturdays. so i've had Saturdays off for the past..almost 9 months! I DONT WANT TO WORK SATURDAYS AGAIN!!! T__T really not looking forward to it...

ok! done complaining now! ;) onto nails...i was at Wal-Mart & saw a cute bag & thats what inspired my nails.


the super light blue is Finger Paints' Blissfully Blue & the darker blue is China Glaze's Flyin High. the rest is acrylic paint.

water-themed nails?..dont know how to describe it. haha but i have a seastar / starfish on my pointer finger, a ducky on my middle finger, a somewhat blend of some water & waves on my ring finger, and a turtle on my pinky. the bottom half of the turtle kinda blends in with the darker part of the water.. =/

if youre wondering where my thumb went..its hiding. i did a hideous design on it & im going to do you the favor of not showing it ! haha

enjoy your Friday & your weekend!,

  6. You're so good! What brushes do you use? I got one from Sally that I tried with acrylics once and it just doesn't work. At all. Maybe my paints suck too . . . not sure what the problem is but I wasn't motivated to try again. haha.
