During the A to Z Challenge this year I was lucky enough to “meet” Giggling Fattie. GF posts videos of how to create lovely polished nails on her Nail Art Sunday posts. After I commented how I would never be able to create the designs she does GF invited me to send her a couple of designs and she’d do a video on one for me to have a go. The nail design she chose is this one:
Today I had a go at following GF’s video. I’m rather happy with the result because I’m really no good at applying nail polish, although I think the photos make my attempt look better than reality. My nails are below. They’re kinda like the picture above, right?

Aw, thanks, GF (it did take 2 attempts but that’s our secret *wink*).

Those are great! Good job, AJ. And now I’ll have to head over to GF’s site to find out if I can recreate a design too.

Thanks, Lynda. Good luck with your nails.

You did magnificently, AJ. And how long did it take you? Hmm?
October 25, 2018 at 10:46 am
Hah, I wasn’t going to mention how long, Jacqui. Probably waaaay longer than it should have.

I could see doing it while watching TV or listening to music. Very nice.

I did switch to watching tv part way through…

Hehe AJ it took me about 1.5 hours with all the wait time for drying. My gel nails usually take about 2 hours on average
October 27, 2018 at 10:24 am
Not sure exactly how long, but longer than that because it took 2 goes. But I cheated a little ’cause I was getting frustrated with the drying and used the fan heater from my office to ‘help’ with the drying.

Very impressive! I must admit it has been years so nice I put on nail polish, but I never tried a design.
October 25, 2018 at 10:51 am
Thanks, Sue. I’ve never tried a design before either.
October 25, 2018 at 10:41 am
Great job. Congrats.
(I haven’t attempted to apply nail polish in probably thirty years. So, you’re way ahead of me.)

The polish smudges around my fingers shows I’m not a regular user either!

Hehe totally our little secret!

Looks amazing, Anita. Fancy nails for RWA next year? 🙂

Hah, we’ll see.
