It’s a girl!

Hello lovelies,

Happy Monday.  Did you have a good weekend? I am literally counting the hours now for when my cousin and her family arrive.  I am so excited!

Which also brings me to todays post.  Remember when I told you they were having another baby? Well now I can tell you it is a girl!!  I am super excited.  I would’ve been excited even if it was another boy but having one of each makes it very special I think.  I can’t wait to introduce you to little Lia in February.

So anyway,  Today I have a bit of a gender reveal nail art thing happening.  Let me show you what I did.

I started with 2 coats of Essence – #lucky on all my nails and left that to dry completely.  On my index I stamped using BM-H21 and Mudo de unas – white.  On my middle and ring I used tape to mark off the cuticle ‘triangle’ and then painted a coat of Essence – Wild white ways on top, making sure to remove the tape immediately. Once it was completely dry I marked off the same section with tape and then stamped over the white using Pueen08 and Mundo de unas – Black.  While that was drying I made decals on my manicure mat using Pueen109 and Mundo de unas – Light gold.  I then cut them in the zipper shape and added it on the edge where the pink and white meet.  On my pinky I used a nail art brush and Essence – Wild white ways to write her name – Lia – over the pink.  I topcoated everything and that was that. I do have swatches

Essence – #lucky

This is 2 coats with no topcoat.  Beautiful formula and fantastic opacity. This is almost a one coater, is a beautiful shade of pink and has a beautiful shiny finish.  Essence definitely doesn’t disappoint here.

It isn’t perfect but it’s pink and it is a bit of a ‘reveal’ inspired by this.  I also has her name which is the most important part.  I am ridiculously excited about this baby.  Having another little body to love and snuggle is the best.

Thanks for reading,
