I'm so much funnier on the internet

I'm still trying to perfect free handing a French manicure. This is nowhere near perfected! It's not as bad as some of my previous attempts though.
I used Gweneth from Zoya. It's a very pretty, deep red. It looks a little lighter on than in the bottle but I imagine another coat would darken it up some.
So far, it has lasted two days without me changing it. I'm loving having long nails but sometimes they really get in the way. Especially when trying to catch a 2.5 year old who is always going a hundred mile an hour!

I love this color. Two coats is all it takes. It's a very pretty bronze/copper color.
What do you think about Penny?

I've decided to give Zoya Kylie a try. It's a corally orange color. I'm trying to find colors that cover well enough for me not to be able to tell where the free edge and nail bed meet.
I didn't clean them up much, it's late and my sleeping pill is working. I promised the girls a trip to the park tomorrow. Maybe after that I'll polish their nails and have a mommy/daughters & sister/sister beauty show. That will probably be my next post.

What do you think about Kylie? Love her or leave her?

This color is probably better over another color. Even though it is a blue-ish color, it's giving my nails a green tint that I'm not very fond of.
It would make a nice glitter coat though. I think it would go great with a green or a blue.

Today I decided to polish my nails with a nice bright color. I don't have a lot of polish because a few months ago I got rid of all my old grimy bottles. Most of what I have is either Zoya or Sinful colors.
I chose Zoya Ali. I love pinks and this one is just electric enough for me :)
I only took a pic of one hand because the other one got messed up. What are the odds of a diaper emergency JUST when I got the polish on? Very high in this house!

Haha so messy! Anyway. It's horrible, I know. I'll try again another time when the kiddo is in bed and my nails aren't a peely, gross mess.

I attempted the half moon/ruffian look on my nails today. I've seen it called both names and I'm not sure which one it actually is. My right hand is more wonky than my left but I guess it's not so bad for my first try.

Pics were taken from my cell phone so obviously they're not good quality. I can't get them to be true to color because it's night time here and the lighting in my house is yellow. Ali is a beautiful pink. It has a satin-like finish but a glossy top coat fixes that right up. This is the second polish from my Zoya Polish Exchange that I've tried and I love it just as much as I did Kylie.
