Now since this is posting on Friday and I haven't lived the week yet, I have no stories to tell. What I do know is that I got my hair done and my hairdresser said that the next time she sees me my vacation will have come and gone. Five weeks from now my vacation will have been lived and over with. YIKES. Yes I am very excited that the time is coming for me to go to my very happy place and fish, but I had no idea it was coming this quickly. I need to figure out how many bottles of polish to bring to do my niece's nails.
Let me tell you, she's fishing like I was at her age and I think it's awesome. She's six and the cutest thing ever. I hope to be her favorite aunt.
Anywho, I got some new plates in from MoYou and she sent me some studs to play with. I have yet to try studs and I thought that sounded like a very cool thing to try. I had also seen a very pretty mani on Instagram and thought I could put my spin on it.
It didn't turn out as well as hers, but not quite a fail in my book. I'll let you decide.
Here is the silly bottle shot.
This is OPI Eurso Euro, Orly Au Champagne, Bettina Vanity and Lime Crime Pastelchio.
I started with a mani using the Orly and the Bettina. Unfortunately, these two colors are so similar it's hard to tell them apart. The mani I was replicating used a nice pink and a very pretty gray. I realized I own ONLY ONE gray polish. WTF? I must ask her what she used because it's so pretty.
Here are the starting shots.

Now again, I forgot to take step pictures. I promise to do better. Here's what I did. I placed striping tape on two fingers and added the blue on top of the white to have half and half nails. I added dots of the opposite colors. I attempted my first time at making flowers-huge fail there and then placed studs across the half and half nail line.
I know, I should have taken pictures! Here are the results.

The studs are awesome! I love these. They do make my nails feel funny and I keep thinking I have something on my nails, but I'm going to definitely use them again! Thank you to MoYou for letting me try out your studs. I love them!
What do you think? Fail or not?
Until next time people. Any thoughts out there?
