Uhmmm... oops on taking a pic of this green pre-nail art. I think that's pretty much always a sign that I'm really up too late doing my nails LOL. So of course there are some things I would fix with this - but overall I liked it, it was super-festive & fun to wear. I stuck with just 3 leaves except on my thumbs with I did lucky 4 leafed-clovers. (I also made the mistake of connecting them in the center on the thumbs ... it made them look much sloppier)
For my base color, I used Nina Ultra Pro Emerald City (I did just get this, I swear, my hauls post is coming soon LOL). Then for doing the clovers (or shamrocks ... although apparently clovers can have 3 or 4 leaves & shamrocks always only have 3), I used China Glaze GR8. The holo was not super-apparent, but it was still a nice sparkly gold:
On another note, have I mentioned lately that I am a complete spazz 95% of the time? I JUST noticed today – after almost 4 months mind you – that I mis-spelled my name for my YouTube account…. Instead of SimpleLittlePleasures it shows as SimpleLittlePleasues. I don’t know how my eyeballs managed to skim over that for so long but talk about irritating … of course, since I’m already at the character limit, I actually could not have it the way I wanted, it would have to be SimpleLittlePleasure … grrr.
Anyway, that’s my little mini-rant. Since there’s no way to change it I’ll probably just complain about it at random intervals. Because no way in hell would I start over, lose my subsribers & all the views my tutorials have received. Especially since I can’t even have the name I want anyway. My consolation is that my channel name does match the proper name of my blog, so … yeah.
That’s out of the way, enjoy the latest tut =)
Thanks for reading.
