I look pretty silly myself when taking makeup pictures for my blog.. it sometimes involves standing in front of my giant living room window, in full view of everyone in the neighborhood and any cars that happen to drive by just as the flash accidentally goes off, or ducking to avoid the occasional dog-walker, mail-carrier, or senior out for their daily stroll, lol.Emily♥ 에밀리 ♥エミリーhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397934266764714249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3909697977390040728.post-80455034787402356782014-03-14T20:30:21.636-04:002014-03-14T20:30:21.636-04:00Awesome, I'll look forward to it!

I used to try to get it all out as fast as I could, but taking a few gentle passes has a better result. I'll do a step-by-step sometime. You guys will get a kick out of my pre-cleanup mess! :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05703008684052999988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3909697977390040728.post-17023190381224303392014-03-14T10:36:41.923-04:002014-03-14T10:36:41.923-04:00Thanks, Emily!

I'm planning one on top coat and another on caring for delicate nails (mine are naturally soft and peel-prone too), and I can do a cleanup one sometime too.

Creative peeps often have a hard time calling something they've made 'good enough' & moving on. Most of the itty bitty flaws we perceive about ourselves aren't even noticed by those around us. So it's okay to work towards improving, but don't make yourself nuts by looking for perfect.
