This post is for Tatin, who loves dogs as much as she loves people. Maybe more.
Who recently celebrated her birthday by trying to drown us in pasta, pizza and all kinds of Italian goodness.
Who had a major nail breakthrough today by getting her nails painted blue after a really long time of wearing just pink polish.
Yay, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Pacific Blue!
But this post isn’t about Pacific Blue. It’s about puppies.
Yes, puppies.
I first spotted Wish Nail Stickers at Watsons in Greenbelt. A sheet costs only fifteen pesos so naturally, I wanted to buy one.
After rifling through a whole stack of butterflies and flowers, things I’m not really crazy about, I found this:
Cute little girls! Puppies! Weird creatures who remind me of the freaky Beijing Olympics characters! Sold!
The instructions are pretty simple:
I wanted to try the green stickers first – the one with the cute little girls – but my nail beds are too short for them.
So I went for the dogs.
Puppies!
I used Zoya Harley, a silver gray polish with violet undertones, as the base color.
I love Zoya Harley and my friends do too. At 3 a.m. yesterday, after a killer night of chicken wings, kebabs and beer, a lot of us went home with Zoya Harley on our nails.
But I was the only one who had puppies.
Puppies! Why is it so hard to type this word without an exclamation point?
I kept the puppies on my nails when I went to bed and when I woke up, the edges of the puppy on my middle finger had started to peel off. One layer of top coat wasn’t enough protection.
Next time, I’ll do two.
This post is also for Tankito who I will kidnap when Tatin is not looking.
