Um...so not what I was trying for!

Have you ever done something that in your head looked really awesome but turned out in real life to be a disappointment?

That's what happened with this mani...

I had to take my nephew to the Young Author's Conference a few weekends back. His story won and he got it made into a book and got to go listen to two kids authors speak. I won it when I was in 2nd grade and it was so awesome to be able to be a part of this with him! His favorite color is yellow, so I wanted to do a yellow mani. I wanted it to be bright and fun!

Using Zoya Mitzi, a matte lime green polish, I polished two coats then used striping tape to make a V shape. I then used Zoya Pippa, a bright yellow cream, to polish above the tape. What I wanted was bright and fun. What I got was John Deere. :-(

In addition to reminding me of farm equipment, I ran out of my favorite top coat (ellagee Glass) and the top coat I used bubbled on the thicker coat of Pippa. All in all I was so disappointed in how this manicure turned out!!
