DIY Metallic Leopard Manicure

Sep 15, 2011 | DIY

I’ve been utterly exhausted this week since it’s Lil Tot’s first full week of school, and driving him to and picking him up from requires a total daily commitment of about 3 hours from me.  Three hours in the car, every.day.  This means that although I do have a block of time uninterrupted at home, I now am spending so much time behind the wheel I’ve found I’ve had to skimp on time spent elsewhere.  And what’s first to go when I get busy?  DIY’ing.  Then updating my blog.  It’s unfortunate, but I have to figure out some compromise here.

This week I managed to do a mini-DIY with my nails.  Sally Hansen Chrome Nail Makeup in Pure Chrome (Sally Hansen Titanium Chrome is similar), with Essie’ Chinchilly dotted on.  Finished up with some messy splotches with Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen in Black, and a clear topcoat (because this nail art pen’s doodles come off fast if not sealed with a topcoat).  Of course you could always use Sally Hansen Salon Effects in Kitty, but I wanted a silvery manicure anyway.

Now off to pick Lil Tot up from school!  Just how does one deal with school commutes when there is no bus and no public transport??

Hope everyone’s having a great week!
