Jamaican Mon-icure

Hey all,

Happy Monday :|

How was your weekend?

I didn't finish my crochet project as I'd hoped. I spent too much time zoned out on the net :P

But it was worth it and not a complete waste of time. So new goal, finish project by end of the week.

I'm pretty leisurely when the projects are only for me. I actually started this one in June of last year. :S

Thankfully I was able to complete a manicure.

I did a lovely tape job using the other Nubar polishes from the same collection as My New Obsession

And I couldn't resist topping it with Northern Lights topcoat.

I have a feeling this is going to happen quite often :)

But after all that I didn't feel that the manicure was done yet.

3 colours and glitter, but just not satisfied.

So I decided I had to try water spotted nails

But I was in one of those incredibly ambitious AND lazy moods.

I re-watched some tutorials and was totally ready for a new challenge.

Except I didn't have any spray hand sanitiser (as most tutorials call for) and I was too lazy to go to the store.

Instead I searched my bathroom for anything in a spray container with alcohol as the main ingredient.

And viola! Lucas' old and unused hair spray! I was saved!

Well... maybe not. 

Here's a warning for you. If you are going to attempt the water spotted technique do not use an aerosol can.

I either sprayed too little or waaaaay too much, obliterating the polish. 

I should have known better. But I was determined to see it through.

 Despite my frustrations, I like it. I'm satisfied. manicure complete. 

What do you think? Did I ruin a perfectly good tape up?

 I'd have to say my favourite finger is the thumb on the right.
That was the first one I did and it looks the most like a true water spotted.
I used Sally Hansen - Blackout, Nubar - On the Radar, Resort Yellow & Into the Wild and Northern Lights.

Everyone at work commented on how Jamaican my colours were.
So that's why I named it my Jamaican Mon-icure.
And to continue with that theme...

Muse-ic

Of course I have to pick a Bob Marley tune.
But I never pick the obvious, no matter how much I love Jamming or I Shot the Sheriff.
Did you know before Bob was the king of rasta he was a teen hearthrob?
I didn't learn this till I recently watched Marley a documentary from 2012.
That's why I love documentaries. You learn so much!
Like Bob Marley and the Wailers covering American teen songs and infusing them with ska flavour in 1963!
Enjoy!

Have a great week and an awesome manicure!
