I haven't been doing my nails because I have tunnel vision, whenever i'm extremely focused on one thing, I tend to neglect other aspects of my life. I don't have natural nails so whenever I do them, I have to use tips and either acrylic or gel. Using acrylic or gel is very time consuming and sometimes I just don't feel like taking the time to do them.
But then I saw these nails on the Manicure Addict's Blog and I just knew I had to try it. I just loved everything about the colors, so much so that I even did my toe nails. Well, she's the queen of nails and I knew mine wouldn't come out anything like hers, but nevertheless, I pulled out my Julie G polishes and gave it a shot.
I'm such an armature when it comes to nails applying acrylic or gel and even polishing. I literally have to clean my cuticles with a brush and nail polish remover because I just can't seem to polish them without getting nail polish all over my cuticles.
I also need to invest in one of those battery operated nail filers. You can just see how uneven they are in these photos. I was filing like crazy with my little black emery board but with acrylic, you really have to pull out the more powerful stuff.
