Mario Nails

And now, my final nails until I can empty my camera (unless I start showing you my toes).

There are several things here.  My pinkie, middle, and pointer finger all are a simple freehand-drawn, red, french manicure type thing.  After drawing the simple red line on my nails, Muppet drew a thin white line underneath using her thin polish brush.

My thumb is a coat of red nail polish with a circle of white and the M drawn in the middle of the circle with the thin nail brush.  The mushroom was a little more difficult than the other nails.  It was also painted red (like my thumb) but then was layered on top with a white circle (drawn freehand).  Then, of course, we added spots.  This was accomplished using a bobby pin.  Its eyes were done with a thin nail brush.

STORY TIME!

Can you see how long my nails are in this picture?  This is completely normal for me to have long nails and I'm used to having them even longer than this.  But unfortunately my thumb nail snapped when I accidentally banged it against our dining room table.  This would explain the long absence of nail pictures (along with all my acting and vacation).  But, as with most injuries, it healed up and is now ready and waiting for Muppet to paint it again.

If you haven't heard, I painted my own nails!  I don't do that often, but with Muppet being gone in CA, all the nail blogs I've been reading, and the excessive amount of free time I have to spend (funny how I'm busier in the summer than during the school year), I had to do it.  My nails were feeling very naked without a coat of polish covering them.  Now they're happy again!  Except I think that's a lie because it literally looks like their crying lol.
