Calvin and Hobbes Nursery Mural

This was the state of our spare bedroom, which I used as my personal nail/filming/photo room. I'm a slob I know! To be fair, it was getting cluttered because I was putting baby stuff in here. Yeah, that's it! I consolidated all of my polish into 1 tall Alex unit (emptied the other one and put it in my sons closet) and the rest of my things went into the short Alex. We then rented a projector from a local camera store and my mother in law printed a transparency of the Cavin and Hobbes we were interested in. We grabbed pencils and started tracing the image on the wall. We custom mixed all the paint colors, and for the tree trunk and leaves we went to Lowe's and purchased pint sized colors. I had a hard time sleeping at night so I would wander in at odd hours and paint here and there. Double checking with the projector to see if we missed anything. We took elements of different photos and painted it how we wanted. Late n

Hello Kitty by OPI Swatches and Review Part 1

Released in January, the much anticipated Hello Kitty by OPI collection has arrived! I have to break this up into 2 posts so stay tuned for the other half. I am missing a color called Say Hello Kitty! Special Edition because that comes in a limited edition kit with Swarvoski crystals. Any of you guys get that kit? I bet those crystals are so cute aaah! Kitty White 3 coats, no topcoat. If you apply 1 coat you can see the flecks of small glitter that sparkle pink and green. By the time you apply a third coat your nails look mostly pearly white. Showered by Petals 3 coats no topcoat. The formula for this color was very thin, which surprised me but I think I liked it better than a thick goopy white. Unfortunately that did not mean it was not streaky, because it was. Even after 3 coats I could still see little bits of my nail peeking through. Let's Be Friends! 3 coats no topcoat. A pale baby pink creme, this one was streaky and thin as well. Smal

Stained nails update

Only one thing has changed since December when I had sickly orange nails: I changed my basecoat! I completely gave up on whitening products, I feel like it's just another way to get me to empty my wallet. I have been wearing nail polish everyday like usual and gradually my new unstained nails grew in and stayed that way. Now I cannot say for sure that my basecoat was causing the staining, all I know is that I'm not embarrassed to wear a french manicure now lol. I mean just look at this picture. The new photo was taken Monday, March 29. My new favorite basecoat, Nail Life Gripper. I got this at Sally's for around $5-6. The bottle is huge (1 oz!), dries fast, and for the 3 months I have been using this never had any peeling or chipping issues. I know my average mani only lasts 2-3 days but I have worn several for 4-6 days no problem. I recently purchased Nailtek Foundation II from TJ Maxx. I have no idea why I got it since I've already found my HG to unstained
