And the challenge is...
April Showers Bring May Flowers
hosted by: Polished Prisms
I created a pastel mani (the dotted easter eggs) right about the time this challenge commenced but didn't know about it yet. I debated whether to back track or create another pastel mani and decided to start fresh as I felt like it was kinda cheating otherwise. I'm soooooo glad I did! I finally did a sponge mani and it was so easy and fun! Yay!
I started with Yellow on Ring and Thumb and Silver on index, middle, and pinky and then sponged purple and pink on all of them.
Side note: if any of you have followed anything about my quest so make my nails better (I swear I will have another post with reviews of what I'm using, one of these days) I started this blog with ugly peeling nails and the nails are getting better but my cuticles are rigged and need some more help. Unfortunately I don't have time to do the cuticle remover more than about once a week. I try to use Burt's Bees Lemon Cuticle Cream every day but that doesn't always happen. Anyways, my question for you all is- Any suggestions for making my cuticles prettier? I trim them- is that bad?
OK peeps! Until next time :)

Moisturize! Just putting lotion on your hands after you wash them helps loads. My mom does that a lot, and her cuticles are so nice! I, myself, do it only when my hands are especially dry because I hate how lotion feels on my hands and I feel like I can't touch anything...but even then, you can just rub lotion into the back of your hands.
ReplyDeletePretty sponging! I think that trimming your cuticles can make it more difficult for them to look pretty, but I'm not positive. I know for sure that trimming them makes the skin grow back tougher. I use Burts Bees too, but my cuticles are never perfect.
