The totally doable I have a life challenge! - My favourite beverages

Hello there!! I hope you're doing great, I'm gonna complain again about how busy I am and why do I have all the homeworks? I've had to write a list to remember to do basic things. I forgot to take a shower -_- Just -_- I just want to relax like before but unfortunately school has begun and relaxing is just not on the schedule. So this is the final part of the challenge (I do have one bonus look though) and it's beverage; it's a bit random and though the look I created is basic, I really like it.

I just created patterns of all my favourite drinks. I like the simplicity and I think it's pretty cute. So drinks form thumb to pinky is strawberry milkshake, lemonade, water, orange juice and root beer. I LOVE those drinks. Skittles in general are fun too. I matted the manicure and I love the matteness, I forget how it can really add to a manicure. So the circles are meant to be bubbles.

I freehanded the details with toothpicks as usual and there was lots of little strokes of colour added for dimension. Not like fancy dimension, basic dimension but I think it works. Fancy dimension isn't me after all. Strawberries didn't really work out the way I wanted them to but I don't think it detracts.

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Ruffian

Hi there guys, I have late Valentine's day manicure, I started doing these too late cause everything on this blog is late right now, so this is mad late :/ I thought I'd came up with some genius Valentine's manicure idea. So I thought chocolate covered strawberries but the chocolate being a ruffian manicure. But then it's not genius and the execution is dodgy, but at least it looks cute in pictures.

My first ever ruffian manicure, it's not very good. I thought I'd use french manicure stickers, but I'm too lazy for that business so I freehanded it. It's not very good and same goes for the strawberries. Though not gonna lie I like the manicure in pictures even though it's very messy. I don't like strawberry nails very much and my red decided to make things thick, so my topcoat couldn't do much about that and that's why some parts are mad messed up.

I used toothpicks for the tops of the strawberries and the weird seeds. Otherwise I'd use the brushes of the nail polish and my white pen for the base of the seeds.

Brown: Paris Collection - Mauve Melody
Red: OPI - Dutch Tulips (it's getting gloopy :/)

Dark Green: Rimmel - Block Your Green!
