I originally planned to do a tie dye manicure, but it just didn’t feel right. Then I decided on a tie dye pattern, with various shades of blue (five). Didn’t like that either, so I went with water marbling. I think Mom would appreciate that a little more– she liked crafty stuff, and water marbling is pretty damn crafty. I layered over it with Sally Hansen Diamonds, a glitter.

 See the shimmer.

 Also this was my favorite design at least– I managed to do really well on all the nails though!

Mom would have been 58 today, and this is the first birthday that she isn’t here for, and it also has been almost 5 months since she passed… It still feels weird. I wish I could text her and tell her of this. I guess she’s watching from somewhere.
