Monday Mani...Crackled..

Last week I found some crackle polish on clearance for 75% off and decided to give it a try. I've been wanting to do something different to my nails and this looked like a great way to make my mani edgy. Plus I was inspired by this picture...

So, as you can see from the picture this polish is supposed to be used over a solid polish to create a crackled look. I decided to pair it with a light gray polish and I think it came out okay. The polish didn't crackle as much as I thought it would but it still gave me the edge I wanted.

 OPI Berlin there done that

Sally Hansen- Crackle top coat

I brought this crackle polish in black, white and sliver. I'm going to do another mani using this polish to see what happens if I use a thinner layer but either way at least it was 75% off....

Halfway Mark..

Well, I can't believe I'm halfway through the pregnancy already. Last Saturday I turned 22 weeks and so far this pregnancy has been going smoothly. My morning sickness eased up at 16/17 weeks and I've started to gain back the weight I lost. 

Check out the bump action! 

How far along: 22. 5 weeks

Baby is the size of a : Spaghetti Squash (8 in) and 1 pound

Total weight gain: about 9 or 12 pounds-ish.. 

Maternity clothes:...Not yet! Its still rather hot here in SC ao maxi dresses, skirts and leggings have saved me so far but I did purchases 2 pairs of maternity jeans for the fall/winter. 

Stretch Marks:..no new ones but this reminds me that I need to purchase some more Shea butter.

Best moment of the week: My husband being able to feel Baby A move. He was deployed during my pregnancy with Ms. J.  So,  it is an amazing feeling to have him here to experience everything he missed. 

Cravings:... Pizza and sweets. I'm not a huge fan of chocolate but I could eat chocolate anything right now! I was the same way with eldest DD.

Belly button in or out:.. Its been working its way out since 16weeks!

Symptoms:..I've been experiencing some hip pains but only on my left side. Also dealing with headaches every now and then.

Labor signs:...thankfully not yet! Little mama can bake a lot longer..

Looking forward to...getting started on the nursery. The girls will be sharing a room and luckily I don't have to do too much!

Monday Mani.. Through the Grapevine

Happy Monday!! Hope everyone had a nice weekend. Mine was busy but I had fun visiting my family and friends back in NC. I even managed to find time to repaint my nails a beautiful purple.

Wet and Wild Through the Grapevine

Unfortunately this manicure is already starting to chip...but I did do my nails 30 minutes before heading to my best friends baby shower and I forgot to put on my base/top coat. So that might have been the reason it's chipping so soon. Any how this is a beautiful color and I plan to wear this polish again.


Enjoy your day..
