The title of this post pretty much sums up the past week...my brain has been all over the place! At the choir festival, my school entered our concert choir, chamber choir, women's choir, and men's choir - I'm in all of them except men's choir - and all of our choirs won first place! That makes four years that all four of our choirs have won first place, so of course all the seniors were especially excited. :) During the trip, I wore the same manicure for all four days, though I added crackle after the first two. I pretty much copied
Nail Polish Art Addiction's 99 Balloons manicure, except mine ended up a bit different. I used Sally Hansen All Fired Up, Sally Hansen Sun Kissed, Nina Ultra Pro Like Butta, Sally Hansen Green With Envy, Zoya Robyn, and Orly Purple Pleather for the dots, and Wet n Wild White Creme for the base.

After two days, I had chips on a couple fingers, so I added a coat of China Glaze Black Mesh (I'd thought ahead and packed it specifically for that purpose). Sorry for the super crappy picture - I took the first one at home before I left, but I had to take this one in the hotel room, and the lighting was so dim that I couldn't get a clear picture. I thought I'd share it with you all the same, but be warned...it sucks.

I added a coat of Seche Vite after I took the picture, and the crackle lasted until a few hours before I got home. I was really happy with this manicure, and I've already planned some variations, so look for more cracked dots sometime in the near future! :)
