All the babies!

My husband and I are loving this stage of life where all of our friends are a bit older than us and having babies. It means we get the cute without the responsibilities! We both love babies, we just aren't ready for our own yet.

We already have two couples that had adorable baby girls and this weekend our friend had a shower for the baby boy that they're expecting next month. It was fun and we can't wait to meet him.

I've been struggling for some nail ideas, so I knew I had to take advantage of an event to create an idea. My left hand matches the wrapping paper and my right hand says boy with some fuzzy polish on the other fingers since it reminded me of confetti. My hand was going to say "It's a boy" but I messed up my pinkie with the "it's a" bit and didn't have time to try to rewrite it.

OMD3 Day 31: My nails and my perfume

I don't wear perfume, but my now-husband's aunt gave me a travel perfume set for Christmas. I thought that this one with the gradient is gorgeous. I loved how this manicure turned out, but it was difficult to photograph. I wanted to give the look of the transparency of perfume, so I used one of the OPI sheer tints for the blue and I realised that one of my purples was also pretty sheer. I was so glad!

*note: I didn't finish this one until after the challenge was over, so it's not on the inlinkz. *






OMD3 Day 25: Weather

My plan for this theme was just a basic blue sky with clouds. They were pretty simple.

OMD3 Day 19: Lipstick

This manicure was a nightmare. I received these lipstick kisses decals from the born pretty store as a free gift from my purchase a while ago. They weren't at all like the decals that I've had before. The instructions made no sense because they were making it not stick. Even if they would have, the design would be backwards. I think this was my third attempt, which I ended up just flipping it over.

OMD3 Day 16: Fast Food

My husband loves to cook and we almost never eat fast food. But Grill'd is a burger place in Australia and it borders between actual food and fast food. They also have zucchini fries, which are amazing!

OMD3 Day 29: My nails and my drink

My nickname while growing up was CCG which stood for Coca-Cola Girl. However I haven't drank coke for a while and actually prefer Sprite. (Sprite is owned by Coke, though, so it's ok.) I also already did Coca-Cola nails, so I wanted to do Sprite. Plus I had the Sprite themed OPI, Green on the Runway. I created an old logo on my middle finger.
