I love having my nails done, before I had my daughter they were always painted perfectly, on maternity leave I would enjoy sitting quietly and taking my time to paint them. Definitely can't so that anymore!
Amber is starting to ask for her toe nails to be painted (I can do my toes and I don't (usually) need those to go about my day!) so I have to be inconspicuous these days.
I used to either have acrylic or shellac done. For our wedding I had calgel sculptured nails. My poor, usually long nails suffered the pre wedding stress! I had a simple, pretty French.
Once they had grown out I went for a much brighter option...hot pink, glitter and hearts!
As you can see my nails grew happily underneath, while the gel stayed looking perfect. So happy nails, and a happy mum! The time I spend having them done is mostly my only baby free time and is very much enjoyed.
Just before holiday I had them done again, this time going for a peachy coral colour with diamantes and again, the glitter accent nail!
They're at that crazy grown out point now, so I'm busy searching for what to have next! Too many pretty colours and ideas...
