Hello everybody!
Surprise, surprise! Today's post is another Sinful Colors post. Taking a quick survey, I can easily say that that is the brand I have the most polishes from. Today, it's Endless Blue. I love that name. Makes me think of endless blue ocean, which in turn just makes me think of fun vacations I've been on.
My love affair with blue started when I first put on Revlon Royal. This was in the days before the blog, a good camera or the light box so I need to redo that mani someday for the blog. With that first encounter, I knew that bright blues were my weakness. I thought I would be satisfied with Royal for a while, but then I started seeing picture of Nails Inc. Baker's Street. I started coveting all blues that were similar. Fast forward to the recent past and the Sinful Colors Endless Blue release. It was inevitable that this blue was going to find it's way into my stash, to join all it's brothers and sisters in this particular bright blue family. Endless blue itself has a nicely pigmented, funny smelling (a smell I'm starting to associate with these blues), slightly pulling quality to the formula. I did find myself thinning it a bit for the second coat. Otherwise, there was no streakiness and hardly required any clean up, which is a good thing since it is a blue.
Now, let me tell you another reason I chose this blue that particular day. Last week, my husband and I found out the gender of the baby....and it's a boy!! I was wearing blue all last week, featuring Endless Blue. I will show you the second look in the next post. Here is the bump picture, the only picture showing my right hand.
And the rare appearance of the thumb!
Let say a little bit about striping tape designs. I first fell in love with them when I saw Sammy from Nailasaurus doing them such as in this mani, one of my favorites of hers. I had to try it! So, I figured I would start with just a couple of accent nails and see how it goes....it took me forever!! I think if I want to try this again, I should get a pair of narrow, pointy tweezers because I was struggling a little bit with those silly skinny pieces of tape. That being said, I love the result :-) I love how versatile you can be with designs, and the designs are only limited by your imagination. It feels like geometric doodling, and I love doodling. I will have to try this technique again.
