I've been trying to trick my husband into helping me pick polish whenever I get stuck for inspiration. Every so often he'll give a really half-assed effort and point at a color I really don't like. A few times I've gotten him to throw a ring into the open drawer of my helmer so that it can "pick" for him. It always lands on something sheer and awful. Or topcoat. I might have too many half used topcoats. I finally found the solution. I joined a group on Facebook called HePicksMyPolish. You get a man in your life to choose your polish colors and then no matter how weird you have to paint a manicure with them. It's a real thing now- he can't say no. He picked like a champ and these are the results:
My husband really played it safe this time. He was alone with the helmer for 5 minutes and I came back really expecting some strange colors, but these were really tame and usable. He picked black and white from LA Colors and this pink shade, Fuzzy Dice from Spoiled. I think I almost had a harder time coming up with an idea because the colors presented so many options. I finally settled on a cheetah print which I hand painted using a dotting tool for the centers and a small brush for the outlines. Since it's Halloween I think this would be really cute with a cat costume. It reminds me of the time my friend and I dress up as Josie and the Pussycats. I don't even think I did my nails that year. Such a shame.

Haha I love how serious your husband was about this. FIVE minutes must feel like forever when he is going through all of the options. I wonder if you will be so lucky next round! You did a great job with the leopard :)

Thanks :) I'm excited for next (this?) month too.
DeleteWow! All the nails hand painted??? *___*
ReplyDeleteJust a pity the top coat tried to ruin your efforts -.-
I know! I got impatient and put on the top coat before the spots were dry. Lesson learned for next time.
