I’m back to using the rose decal set for my nails I used not too long ago (here and here). It’s just so pretty, but there is definitely something wrong with the quality since the previous manicures chipped so quickly on me. Still, I can’t stay away from the prettiness for too long and I’ll probably still use up the whole set in time.
This time I used the blue roses and replaced part of the set with a holographic copper color. I wanted a contrasting color instead of one from the same family. I feel like this led to a more playful result.
P.S. This is a link to the song by Apocalyptica called “I’m Not Strong Enough to Stay Away,” which is an awesome song to which my husband and I had our last dance. It’s been on my mind lately and is where the title came from.
Thank you for reading. Be kind. Be you.
If it speaks to you, I used:
China Glaze Strong Adhesion base coat, here
China Glaze Fast Forward top coat, here
Blue rose decals, as part of a set here
Color Club ‘Cosmic Fate’ nail polish, here

I think we had telepathic thoughts, the theme of my post today are flowers and gardening ahahah. I love flowers, I love your nails and I wouldn’t be able to do this kind of work despite having a nail business, I’m just kidding ahahah !!! Sometimes I also get inspired by songs that somehow touched my life and I bring them to the blog …

June 20, 2018 at 7:33 pmThose roses are absolutely gorgeous! I’m excited if I can keep a manicure past the second day. 🙄 But I bet when you’re the one putting all the work and TLC in it, you make it last a lot longer!! Beautiful job, girl.

June 27, 2018 at 4:45 pm“I’m so confused, so hard to choose
Between the pleasure and the pain”
I think these lyrics fit well your earlier posts that talk about comfort vs beauty! Great song!
I love the composition of nails and flowers. It’s almost like you’re wearing flowers on your hands!
