My Husband Does My Nails

For my wedding anniversary last June my husband painted my nails. I know that sounds weird but let me explain. My husband likes to paint miniature models for a game called Warhammer 40K. He has developed a very good hand at painting tiny things so he decided to try out a nail art on my hands. I painted the background using Zoya Yummy. He used a combination of other Zoya colors (Ziv for the gold and Arizona for the orange) and acrylic paints to paint a koi pond on my nails.

The process took about 3 hours but it was so much fun and an experience I won't forget. Needless to say I didn't take this polish off for like two weeks.

You can see from this close up shot how Ziv makes a perfect goldfish.

My husband was so detailed the turtle has eyeballs.

We have a koi pond in our backyard which gave us the idea for this nail art.

My Seche Vite bubbled up in the perfect spot to look like a ripple in the water.

Yummy is another wonderful shy blue color. Look at how they match!

I think I'd like to make this an anniversary tradition. Look out for another Husband Does My Nails post in June!

Older nail art

Here are some of my older nail art designs. Most of these were ideas I got from Pinterest, You Tube or other beauty bloggers as I am not that creative...yet.

This was my first jelly sandwich manicure. I used Zoya Frida and Jacqueline for the water and flowers then on the accent nail I used an indie polish I purchased off Etsy. The brand is Rainbow Polish and the color is Fish Lagoon. I got this idea from another blogger which sadly I cannot find the post right now to give her credit. This picture is also the longest I have ever grown my natural nails.

Here is another recent manicure using Zoya Blu (my favorite color for a sky blue nail art).

Here's a fun Grinch nail art I copied from Cutepolish on YouTube. I used Zoya Tracie for the face. Over the black nails I used Dollish Polish Merry Christmas, Shi**er's Full!

I wanted to post a picture of my most recent nail art. The background color is Chantal by Zoya and the water decals are from Born Pretty Store.

Welcome to my blog

So I'm not sure if anybody will ever read this but let's give it a shot. I decided to start a blog to keep track of a few of my favorite things. At the moment I'm really into nail polish and nail art. Until just a few years ago I rarely did my nails because I was frustrated at how quickly my polish would chip or smear. Thanks to the recommendation of many you tube vloggers I discovered Seche Vite and the rest is history. I will be posting pictures of some of the nail art I've done on myself to keep track of my progress as I learn new skills.

A little background on me. My name is Jennifer. I am a 37 year old wife and mother from Florida. I enjoy gardening, scrapbooking, beadworking, nail polish and makeup. I also have 3 dogs and 3 cats who you may see pictures of from time to time.

Welcome to our little family. I hope you enjoy your stay!
