3D Glue Mani Fail

I had this idea in my head. It was a grand idea which, looking back, should have been my first clue that I was way off base. lol My idea, so you know, was to have a forest glen with a river accent nail. Not just any river. I was going to use the glue to build 3D banks for the river, making the actual water look recessed. Would have been cool, right? Well....



..... -_- Let's ignore my godawful trees for a second. (Interesting note: chrome didn't flag "godawful" as a typo) Let's take a look at my sad riverbanks.



So... I think glue has changed since I was a kid. lol I distinctly remember making glue dots and having them dry into little glue bumps. This stuff just flattened itself right out. Which, yeah, in theory is good. If you're using it for its intended purpose. However, for my purpose I've got four super thick layers of glue around my river and you can't even tell I did anything! Verdict? Fail. It does give me hope as far as using it for a basecoat for glitter, though. I was worried it would look lumpy and like I had glue on my nails, but apparently that's not a concern with the new fangled glue kids are using these days. How are they supposed to learn creative problem solving if they're not fighting with something as simple as glue?! ;) I did manage to pick up that bronze, though!



Pretty. :) No face yet. I woke up at 3am so I'm sleepy already. I fall asleep with makeup on enough without doing it on purpose. lol Also... I had to make a difficult decision this morning. *sigh* I've been trying for years to get Aaron to do Rocky Horror with me for Halloween and he's finally wanting to do it. His biggest gripe has always been Frank's shoes. Frank's shoes, Frank's shoes, Frank's shoes. So when he took it upon himself to find a men's to women's shoe size converter and actually track down the shoes he needs in his size on amazon and they only had three pairs left... I told him to get them. I've waited too long to let something as stupid as a $40 pair of shoes get in my way. So I've been taken back from my goal a bit, but it should be easy enough to make up with real life money. That's my new plan. Brak's heading back to California soon so I shouldn't be randomly clothes shopping again (I'm so weak lol) so everything extra is going to the tablet.

So, let's see, I think tomorrow I'm going to get Black To The Roots out of the way. In the meantime I guess it's back to Swagbucks. Got some spending to make up for. :/ Hope everyone's week is off to a great start!
