Tutorial Tuesday - Inspirations (Part 2)

Dear Nail Diary,

I'm sorry this is later than I intended to post, but last week was rather traumatic.  It's still Tuesday though - just about, so here's the next tutorial that I promised from the Inspirations Mani.


Inspiration 2 - Doctor's Floor

As I said, I tend to stare at the floor a lot whenever I'm at the doctor's.  I think it's part of my social anxiety and agoraphobia.  Anyway, the last few times I've been to see the nurse, I've noticed they have this really bright yellow marble-like vinyl floor.

Watermelon Gradient Tutorial

Dear Nail Diary,

This mani was inspired by my dirty laundry, if you can believe it!  There's a pile of things waiting to be washed in the bathroom and a green t-shirt and coral PJs caught my attention.  It looked like a cool colour combo and kind of reminded me of watermelon candy.
