Go Bulls, Shellac Edition
The Shellac really does make a difference on my nails. Alas, I had to work when I was supposed to get my nails done right before vacation and soaked it off. Over the course of the week and a half, those super long nails broke, one by one.
So, two weeks ago, we started again with Beau. It just looked like I had buffed and shiny nails. In two weeks, I went from almost nothing, to a decent length. Except for one that got smashed into a box at work yesterday when I was trying to get the shredding together.
For back to school, I opted to do one of the layering effects I'd seen. Apparently, you can get some cool colors by doing two layers of a base, and then a thin layer of top coat. I saw that Iced Coral has a green undertone that when put on top of Black Pool, looks like this:


I'm sporting Go Bulls Green for the start of classes next week!
Oh, and the Black Pool looks so nice on this nail length that I will wear it for Halloween this year. Katie's talking about doing some ghosts on a nail or two.
I like this layering thing.

One waitress lamented to me "we have to wear boring colors," which reminded me of working for Disney.
There's another layering effect that becomes a nice cobalt blue. If the new fall colors aren't out when I see Katie next time, I'm doing that. Otherwise, I'll have turquoise or purple.
