Good morning!
So yesterday I did it...it took me all day.
I knew from last time that possibly it will take me a long time, so I wanted to do it calm, by making a break here and there...inserting braids in the bathroom and finishing them in the sun outside...
Started ca. 11am and I was done at 1am!!
my parting is done sooo much better than last time.
I also like how this time it is not heavy.
I probably did that mistake the last time by adding too much hair.
So they are pretty stiff and some opened again for the picture, but yea I just wanted to go to sleep man!!
I wanted to do normal braids but I did the technique wrong (later found out what but it was too late), so I opted for the rubber band method again.
I guess it is also good to just figure this out like that and then maybe proceed getting more practice over time.
I still don't know if I like it this time...if I am able to wear it longer etc.
So better not invest too much time in it.
I now rebraided some ends and glued it shut with tip glue, like I cannot be bothered until sealing xD
I am boiling water right now...I have done that last time and didn't do it yet, maybe that's why they are so stiff.
Apparently they are always stiff the first 2-3 days, so I just let it see how it goes.
I seriously cannot remember how it was last time.
I also want to oil my scalp.
Will keep you updated.
Alsooo...my next nail package arrived two days ago and I haven't shown yet.
So since I actually like the acrylics, I was willing to try out the polishes because if I like them (unlike the colorgels) then I can just order my stuff from the same place.
I opted for black,white and red, since I feel like those are pretty common colors AND they are opaque, so if they end up streaky or just meh, it is so much easier to tell.
I also wanted to order a new brush, because I felt like the brush might have been the application problem but guess what...IT IS EXACTLY THE SAME ONE...just way more expensive.
it looked flat on the picture but it is not...where do I get flat acrylic brushes???
I also got an ombre brush.
I usually fade the ombre with a line brush but I feel like with this it will be easier.
curious to try out!
And yes...rhinestone glue, I hope this works better for the wanted effect.
I also put the foil gel in it because I actually used to use foil a lot and I want to get back to it.
For the acrylics I used a customized set to save on money.
These are three colors (glitter) that only have the name on the bottom...you cannot tell the color on the lid or on the bottle, so I will show swatches later on.
and the cover acrylics.
I felt like the nude was too greyish and I wanted to have some other cover gels.
I also put in clear and white (for my 3d flowers).
So excited to try them out.
I need to dip my hair now and I also need to do my nails finally (has been weeks).
I also want to try out this brow tint thing but honestly I am soo tired from braiding xDD
Idk maybe tonight...or tomorroow.
C-YA
