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!!! ♥♥

birthday nails!

so, Monday was my step-mom's 30th birthday..
& tomorrow is her party..

these nails are my festive-wear ;)
(also, I will be doing her toes ( & possibly nails..  we'll see what she wants..) so those will be posted here, as well)

here is the base of my mani :) SUPER COLORFUL gradients
:)

if you would like to know, I used 16 different colors!!! :)

then, I added some "confetti" with Pure Ice "It's Complicated" :)

aaaaaaaand, drum roll, please..

*drum roll.. tssssst!*

here are the, COMPLETED, birthday party nails!!!

I cant wait until she sees them!! xD

& here is an inside shot, with flash, it shows the colors more true to life :)

so bright! I love it! ♥♥

& last but not least..

i dont know why I took a picture with this pose.. but I liked it, so im posting it!! ;)

July, 29th,

the party was Saturday.. pretty much all I did yesterday was sleep lol

but, here are her toenails, as promised.. she didn' get her fingernails done..

these are a little more simple than I originally planned, because we litterally had about 30 minutes right before the party started! haha.. people were walking in & asking if they were next ;) (mostly guys lmao)

I used glitters as the "sprinkles" on the brown candy.. :)
