Snow and Presents

It was said by someone somewhere (I have no clue where...I think I heard it in a movie, but you know how quotes travel) that when you make a mistake while painting, you should make them into birds. It's actually an excellent idea! If you take this to be a general rule, then you can conclude that paintings withs lots of birds in them are made by the most klutzy painters. Of course this is rather unjust, but I'm having fun with the theory. Take, for instance, those who decide to dedicate the entire painting to birds. What does this say about them?

Anyway, that all to say: a mistake is only a mistake if the artist says it is.

Done with Rimmel London French Tip painter and Glosser


Incidentally....I HAVE DISCOVERED THE FRENCH MANICURE FOR THE SHORT FINGERNAIL!!!!!!!!!
The snow makes it elegant but not shortening...
As for the ring finger decoration...well that's my bird. It started out as a snowflake. Then it became a star. And last (but definitely most important) it became a present bow. Evidently a Hanukkah present bow. This is what happens when you decide to paint your nails at 10:00 at night, my friends....XD
I hope you enjoyed!

Katniss Hair!

I think a universal rule is this: either you can braid your own hair, or you can braid other people's hair. I can't braid my own hair to save my life. But I can do a pretty good braid for someone else.
Whenever my sister comes to visit, I like to style her hair, and this time I decided to attempt the sweeping french braid, otherwise known as the "Katniss" braid. 
I think it turned out pretty well, don't you think?
All I did was start a french braid on the side of her head and bring it around to the other side (as seen in the first pic)
Then I started another, shorter french braid that met the first right behind her ear.
I secured each with a clear elastic and braided the rest of the way down.
XD


Hope you enjoyed!

The Beginning of the Christmas Nails

My sisters came to visit this weekend, so I got the chance to do some french manicures! XD
Unfortunately the quality isn't very good because I didn't have a whole lot of time, but they're content, and that's all that matters.

Mario Nails!

When I first painted these nails I showed them to my sister and asked "What are these little red and green things?"
And what did she say?
"EASTER EGGS!!!!!!!!"

-_-

So I showed them to her fiance. And what did he say?
"Mushrooms!"

The second answer would be the correct one. 
Rather than making a complicated (and probably utterly pointless) effort at painting Yoshi or even Mario himself, I decided to zero in on the mushrooms, with rather great success, if I dare say so myself!

There's no polish used list because I'm too lazy today. XD 


Enjoy!
