My Aunt showed up in a tank top so I snapped a photo to later replicate the design on my nails. The vice is one of my many hacks, if it’s metal and I can reface it I often do. The vice was cobalt blue before I attacked it with flamingo pink spray paint. 🙂
Envy is a dark army green but it’s showing up as black
My inspiration:
Zoya: Envy, Tracie, Neely, Rory, Suri
Ever wonder what it would look like if a large parrot took a bite of your nail art? Â I didn’t either however, my Cockatoo answered it for me anyhow.
Here she is…
She is not biting me but is fascinated with my nails. Â I’ve been trying to keep them unpainted which helps quite a bit or paint and then remove it immediately. I don’t think gloves are the answer. Â I can’t be the only one having these issues.
I don’t want to give up my hobby. Â Anyone have any useful tips for distracting parrots from fingernails?
It’s my birthday and Independence Day! Â This water marble MANicure is a present from my Husband, Mr. FLBN, who actually did my nails! Â Mr. FLBN, an artist & hobby painter himself, was watching a youtube video of guitars being water marbled in 80’s colors and wanted to give it a try in red, white & blue. I have the greatest husband ever! Seriously.
Cleanup took over 2 hours, you can see why!
Took a mulligan on my index finger

Blogger – Finally, my first Picture Polish! Â The name alone sells it! Â I swatched a quarter of my nail wheel trying to figure out the most complimentary polish for this glitter. Ultimately, I settled on grey.
Picture Polish – Â Blogger
Zoya – Carey
Blueberry Fizz – Julie G. Â I’m loving this polish! Â It’s textured but doesn’t catch and snag on clothing like glitter normally does.

I heart nail art and polish! Â If only I could remind myself of that, I started biting my nails again and my thumb took the hit. Â I’ve been biting my nails since I was a toddler and it’s a life long habit I’m trying to break. I think bringing a nail file with me at all times might help.

I took inspiration from the polish name for this design. Â Sun of a Peach, which seemed much brighter in person, with a topcoat of flakies. Â Nuclear Energy in purple with a peach on top.
