KicKass Beauty "Good Vibrations" (also in the other blog post)

my baby boy is FOUR!!!

so, today is, my son, Ty's FOURTH birthday!!!!

it took me a while to decide what I wanted to paint for it..
not to mention that Ty gave me guidelines.. he said I had to use brown, black, green & white, & that I had to paint "him blowing out his candles"!! haha

after contemplating for a while, I finally narrowed it down to 2 design ideas:
**a few of his favorite TV characters on each nail
or
**the word "FOUR" written all cool (one letter on each nail)

but I was still struggling to choose one, because
on one hand, the characters are cool, & he would love them, but would it say "birthday"? would people have to ask why or would they just be able to look at it & know?

then, on the other hand.. the colorful & funky "FOUR" design, with ballons & confetti would be pretty self explainitory & would scream "birthday".. BUT it just seems generic & unpersonal!!

but then.. I got the GREATEST idea!!!
to COMBINE BOTH designs!!! :)

I am very happy with the way these nails turned out..
& Ty loves them! so that's all that matters!! ;)

without further adieu..

& just incase you may not know who one (or any) of these characters are:

index: Poppy Cat

middle: Caillou

ring: Blue (from Blue's Clues)

pinky: Super Why

& of course my thumb is Ty, blowing out his candles ;)

when I showed them to him, he said:

"that's not me!"

me: "yes it is.."

Ty: "well, it's not perfect! it looks kinda weird"

haha I love him! ;)

but I did end up realizing that I didn't paint a nose on him lol

oh well.. it's still cute!!! ♥♥
