So... I wanted to share a big old nail fail with y'all. I normally don't just rip off another person's nail art, but after seeing this quick Instagram tutorial I really wanted to try it. It looked pretty simple, but, well... It wasn't. Or either smooshy nails just aren't my jam. 🙁
Biggest upset is that I wasted a bunch of polish trying this. Nothing expensive or irreplaceable, though. I was probably just having a bad night. When I started (I was being super lazy, which is never the best way to start a project) I had my mat on a binder in my lap. 😳 Let's just say that an unstable surface with 4 - 5 bottles of open polish is not the best idea.
I knocked them all over several times. Thankfully none spilled, but they did roll through the wet decals I'd already made (a couple of which actually looked ok to me). 🙁 After finally deciding that lazy wasn't working for me I set up my nail table and kept going. I think by then I was already frustrated. Not the best way to continue trying to learn a new thing.
By the end of the night I had polish all over me from the elbows down - EXCEPT for on my nails. I cleaned myself and my polish bottles off with acetone, then picked one of the prettiest polishes I had and just put it on. Plain. In utter defeat. 😂😂😂
I may or may not try to do nail art to it tonight. We'll see. But if I do, it probably won't be this smooshy mess right now.
