As a result of I’m and in the present day’s look places me on the midway mark for the bigger photos. I even used my favourite picture: the fox! Oh, he’s a good-looking one and cozily wearing a wise jacket, scarf, and sweater. He virtually stepped out of any recent-ish k-drama. However was he definitely worth the bother? As a result of I had quite a lot of it…

So the problem I painted this for required a matte topcoat and I almost forgot it, however I fortunately remembered earlier than I photographed a lot solely it was very late and I used to be very drained. After I took the photograph I needed to flip in, I kinda picked every part up in a bunch and issues had been nonetheless moist sufficient to dent. Badly.
Concentrate on the distractions…
Now I used to be already sad with a few of my shade decisions and decals and having the nails ruined earlier than I might end taking photographs simply made me wish to give up. Like…every part. So I simply actually dragged my ft on posting for a bit. I targeted extra on one other aim which I began across the finish of November which was to complete taking my Goodreads “presently studying” listing from an over 350 guide backlog all the way down to solely the stuff I’m presently studying. Whereas nonetheless leaving at the very least some sort of evaluation notes for future me (I truly do verify them to see if I ought to learn extra books in a sequence or choose up one other of the creator’s books).
I met my aim Sunday evening and I hope I by no means fall behind like that ever once more. That was ridiculous.
Battle the ennui…

So I made myself repaint the components that had been each essentially the most broken and most hated and that’s what you’re seeing right here in the present day. If I’d had extra psychological fortitude I believe would have taken off the destructive house roses and changed them with falling snow and the rose silhouettes, however I gained the struggle. I’m gonna ignore the battle I didn’t have to combat.
The Flipside
And right here’s the particular cool half that made me actually not wish to quit on these nails: I did some flipside stamping! I do know this isn’t a brand new factor to the nail artwork world, however these false nails are clear so I might simply stamp first and paint on prime and it’s such a cool element I can share whereas my pure nails are nonetheless nubs. Now you can very fastidiously paint and freehand the underside of pure nails, however this method actually is the best with a transparent place to begin.
