I love celebrating my birthday and I'm actually the kind of person who, two weeks before, makes the countdown till The Big Day - everyone around me knows that by now and people actually join in! I'm like a big kid, really - tsk, tsk ;)
Anyway, yesterday was a lovely, amazing day, full of awesomness and, most of all, full of love, as my birthdays always are. I have but to thank everyone who shared some of their love with me yesterday - I love you all back! THANK YOU! <3
So, here's what I wore yesterday, 14th of November, the day of my 30th birthday!
Bahahahaha! Very grown up of me or what?
A very lady-like mani, I'd say ;)
Which is why I particularly chose this picture of the grey bears - the little felow looks like he's having a tee-hee laugh, doesn't he? ;)
I searched for pictures of the grey bears - they're loveable and just plain cute - and ended up choosing this one here!
I decided on a baby pink for the background instead and not the bright fuchsia pink of the picture ;)
I went with Inocos Rosa Bebé and added a wee bit of sparkle to it with Serenna SE036.
I decided to have the fuzzy bear on my middle finger and proceeded with acrylic paints - I mixed three different kinds of grey shades - one for his whole body; another for his muzzle and ears; and a final one for his outline and body hair ;)
I then went on adding the hearts for, like I said before, love was all around me from the moment I woke up till the moment I laid down to sleep <3
I thought of red hearts, but decided on the black ones instead, 'cause I thought the red would be too disruptive ;)
What do you think of this one? Cute or what? Should I have gone with a more elegant, feminine, lady-like mani, appropriate to my age? :P
hehehe - let me know all about it down below! And hope you're one to celebrate your birthdays like this - it's the only way, really ;)
Hugs & Kissies,

Sweetie, this is a perfection for your birthday and it suits you so much <3 I am loving the cute bear. It's so cuddly and cute, I just wanna hug him. And I am loving the sparkly top coat over the pink :) It looks super cute and adds softness to the mani.

Aww, I missed your birthday, I'm sorry! Happy belated birthday wishes, I'm glad you had a great day!
ReplyDeleteI think the mani is cute, who cares about elegant and age appropriate! Hey, my 30th birthday is more than a few years gone and I regularly paint spaceships on my nails ;)
No need to apologize! :D A Happy Birthday never comes in late, so thank you so much, sweeetie! :D
DeleteAnd your spaceships totally rock! hehehe - who cares for age appropriate? ;)
Those black hearts are so sweet! <3
ReplyDeleteI know, right? I think I love them more in that colour than if I'd chosen red ;)
DeleteIts your birthday, do whatever pleases you! And Mina, this is *stunning*!! I'm in love with the teddy bear! I'm here drinking on your words about how you draw it lol! You're really talented :) On another matter, 30?? I' give you less more when I met you in person lol. I'm glad you had a fantastic day with lots of love, like you said, its what matters :) Kisses,

You're absolutely right! Who cares about age appropriate - just stay true to who you are :D
DeleteAnd you're a darling!! I guess smiling a lot helps age slower hahaha :))
Thank you so, so much, Joanna! :D
