Simple nails to spark some joy
For a party last night I decided to do my nails for the first time in a couple of years! They're a little rough (I'm super out of practice and these nail polish bottles have been open for 5 years now) but they make me smile a little every time I catch sight of them 🥰

Yay!
I always do my nails the night before. Then the stuff that ends up on the cuticles or skin just peels off in the shower. Also lets me apply the layer of clear coat after the rest has fully dried overnight so it doesn't bubble as much as putting it on too soon.
Quick-dry top coat is a life saver!
Yeah I use quick dry polish, too. But I always seem to have issues if I don't let it fully cure overnight before putting on the top coat. Could be because I also use a bottom coat nail protector since my nails are always super fragile so I protect them as much as possible.
Great colour! White is a bitch to paint on nails.
If I may, here's what I learned: I start the brush stroke roughly at the middle of the nail and then apply it up and down. Makes it easier for me to stay "inside the nails" so to speak.
Keeps on keeping on <3
I'll give that a try next time, thanks!
And yes I definitely agree that white is a bitch, I think the pink and blue had 2 thin coats each before the topcoat and the white took 4 😅
Yay! They look great and I'm sure the people at the party will notice them
Thank you! The party was last night, they were indeed noticed and complimented ☺️
Yay! Pretty nails! 😍
willowthewisp is that you
It is not, I'm definitely far from the first or only Willow to use this monicker 😅
