Wordless Wednesday: Take care of Yourself (w. linky)

by Mommy on July 24, 2012

I’ve been spending a few minutes (hours) on Pinterest.  As the baby grows in my tummy, they have made it perfectly clear that I am not suppose to do much of anything other than mind numbing surfing the internet.  I have been inspired to try some of the things I have seen.  Nothing too crazy, just simple, easy to do things.  One such thing that I have been obsessed with, is marble nails.

I’ve successfully completed and mastered doing these nails and they always get amazing compliments!  It’s pretty easy, your best to watch some YouTube Videos by SimpleLittlePleasues.

Here’s some tips I learned along the way:

  • Use room temperature water
  • Not all nail polishes will work in the water, test out different polishes to see how it will “dissolve” in the water.
  • Trial and error is the best way to learn

If you have a Wordless Wednesday, please make a comment and link it up below.

How did you take care of yourself when you were expecting?

SO CUTE! I am such a klutz with nails; I had to photoshop my toes when I reviewed nail polish just so people couldn’t see the splotches on my skin! LOL

If I only had the time… I love having my nails done but never tried marbled nails. Looks pretty.

You did such a great job Lynette!
I liked going for pedicures when I was expecting.
Thanks for the linky!

Your nails look amazing! I would never have guessed that you did them yourself. You should open up a home based business, they are that good :) Congratulations on your new baby!!

Good for you! That looks really complicated, so stop telling people it’s easy ;)
