After giving Bibi a bath, I decided to paint my nailz! I’d been wanting to try a jawbreaker-inspired mani. If I did this again, I would use fewer flecks of color and leave out the pink. Sorry these are horrible phone cam pics, and sorry I didn’t clean up the messy nail polish yet! I am going to L.A. tomorrow for 24 hours just to see the Sweet Tooth show, and I haven’t really packed or prepared yet and it’s 2am! I also JUST realized that I accidentally booked a SMOKING room and they are already out of non-smoking! Crossing my fingers that when I arrive there, there might be a cancelation or something…
Okay back to the nails! This mani is super duper easy peasy. A couple coats of white for the background. Red, yellow, and blue polish. A couple toothpicks. And you’re set!
Just dip your toothpick into a color and then tap and drag it in dots all over your nails, some big, some small. The messier the better, I think! You don’t even have to wait for the first color to dry because even if the colors mix a little, it’s ok! As easy as this is, my right hand still looks a thousand times crappier than my left hand. Oh well!
Enjoy! I do know there are glitter polishes out there that are meant to resemble jawbreakers as well. After picking through some images online, I ordered two! We’ll see how it compares!
Don’t forget to come say hi at Backside in Echo Park tomorrow for the Sweet Tooth show 🙂 8pm! Please forgive me if I smell like a thousand cigarettes :(.
Oh……how I wish I had nails to paint!! I am trying my best to stop biting them and your Nail Polish Adventure Diaries really do encourage me to let my nails grow!!
Thanks!!!

One of my old coworkers said that painting her nails helped her to stop biting them because she didn’t want to ruin her manicure! 😛
I just got done taking pics for a nail painting post…and when i looked at both my hands the right one looked way worse, even if i needed like no painting skills to do it …so you are not alone XP
I wonder if this is a skill we can perfect!
Ermagurd!!!! Im trying this!!!! LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE!
DO EEET SHOW ME PEEEKTURES
ROFL! I totally will!
It’s been a while since I’ve done the fancy art on my nails, but I’ve found starting by painting with your less dominant hand helps. I’m right handed so I will paint my right hand first and then paint my left hand. *shrugs*
