Of Life and Lacquer

The weekend has arrived, and I don’t think anyone is as glad and relieved as me. I am in serious need of some bed rest, and so far that is all I have planned for this weekend. Of course I’m going to try to get some blog stuff done so I don’t feel so pressured and rushed to get things done during the weekend. I know I’ve said it before, but I am seriously bummed that I have been neglecting my blog so much since I started working. Hopefully once my training is over and I have my regular schedule, I’ll have more time to dedicate to my blog and reading all the awesome blogs I’ve been neglecting as well.  Tonight I ended up spending some time with one of my friends and we went out for coffee and then watched a movie at my place. It was a low-key evening which is exactly what I needed. I also took a little break to paint my nails which is what I’m going to show you now. Behold, Silly Lily Bunny Eggs.

Ok, this isn’t Bunny Eggs, but I wanted to show you what base color I decided to use. This beauty is Illamasqua Velocity. I’ve worn it quite a few times in the past, and I thought that the lovely light purple would make an amazing base for Bunny Eggs. As always, the formula on Velocity was perfection.

I know Easter is still far away, but how cute is this polish? I don’t think that my pictures do it justice. It’s just so delicate and bright at the same time. I have to say that I felt that the polish was a little on the thick side so I did have to add some thinner so that I could apply it without causing a mess. I have come to realize that this is the norm when a glitterbomb is involved. I think that they key to applying a polish like this is to use very thin coats which is what I did. I applied 2 thin coats here.
