My friends have all known, for years, that I am the resident lacquerhead around here. Anytime anyone needs anything makeup or nail related, I am usually one of the first people they turn to...which is fine with me. I will blather on about beauty things to anyone who will let me. So when my darling Jenny asked me to paint her nails for her recent trip to Disneyland...well, I knew I had to do something cute.
(promotional samples ahead)
Colors Used
Vapid Lacquer Resting Bitch Face
China Glaze White on White
China Glaze Liquid Leather
Philly Loves Lacquer Gold Lang Syne
She showed me a few pictures, but honestly it has been a long time since I've painted anyone who I can't beat and/or send to their room elses nails, and even longer since I had done it regularly. So I decided to coerce her into something simple and quick. Her youngest loves Minnie, so we used that as an inspiration.
Also, did you know that taking pictures of someone elses hands is weird as shit? Double that for macros...holy cow.
I am curious to see how these lasted for a week of three little kids + Disneyland.
I used to think "Oh, someday I might like to finish cosmetology school one day...that might be fun." Yeah...I think I need to think on that more. I don't mind painting nails other than mine...but I don't want to let them choose their own designs. That just seems wrong.
These are so cute!
ReplyDeleteI agree - I've never particularly wanted to do other people's nails as a job, but any time I might consider it even a little bit, I realise they'll all probably want things that I consider hideous. No, thank you!
Super cute! I've done a few of my friends nails. Luckily we have the same taste in designs..haha
ReplyDeleteThis is too stinkin' cute!!!!! Love it!!! I've only done one persons nails my whole life, that is enough for me! :P
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice wearable look for non nail crazies but cute at the same time
ReplyDeleteI promise not to wash your eyebrows off this time...
ReplyDeleteSo so cute - and perfect for Disneyland!
ReplyDeleteLOL, yes, taking pics of other people's hands is awful. Especially when there's no light. I usually do my friend's nails in the evening, you see. That's why my pics of their hands are always kinda crappy. Also, other people's cuticles... (^#%(@*$&)@(*$@!!!! But still, I love love love painting other people's nails. And they usually let me pick a design, so that's good ;) And I'd love to be a cosmetologist for 1 day a week. You know, to keep it fun ;)
ReplyDeleteAnyways, back to the point, I think you did awesome here, and you nailed the pics, you're way better at it than I am! The design is super cute and perfect for Disneyland, I'm sure she got a lot of compliments!
So pretty! I can't do other people's nails... I get polish all over the place!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely adorable! I love how perfect and simple it is. I love doing my friends nails too, but I agree, taking pictures of them is so difficult!
ReplyDeleteperfect use of dotticure, really cute!
ReplyDeleteSo cute, but not OVERLY cute. That's one of the things about Disney is it can get obnoxious real quick, but I love this look
ReplyDeleteLove this mani, perfect for Disney Land.
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome! I love doing others' nails but no one here is interested >.<
ReplyDeleteThis is sooooooo adorable!
