Aaaaahhhh! I’m going to go see Ironman 3 tonight! I don’t know why I am so damn excited though. I may love superheroes, but this level of excitement is kind of weird. I guess I just get excited when I have a social life, because it is very
With UNICORNS! So I bought a second set of stamping plates online, these from Winstonia, and I bought them because one of the full nail plates is wood grain and that is awesome. Didn’t even look at the other plates, I was sold on that one on its own.
I know I’ve mentioned my new stamps before and I just LOVE them. These nails were inspired by the most adorable plate of monsters. Or aliens. Or maybe animated germs? These plates are ridiculously reflective; you can see my phone and the fact that I just showered and my
Okay, so I just got a new set of stamps (that I’m actually planning to review for you all soon!) and I ADORE some of the designs on them! I was particularly inspired by a plate that had a full nail stamp with gears. Cause, c’mon, who doesn’
So for whatever reason, I adore circuses. I adore going, but I also adore them as a design scheme. I think I just like the excuse for bright colors? Or maybe because the main color is red (my favorite). Regardless, I am obsessed with circuses and carnivals enough that I
92% of the time, Revlon polishes are perfect in formulation, but every once in awhile they completely miss the mark. This mint color, while gorgeous, was SUCH a pain. It was streaky, took forever to dry and just overall annoyed me. This is three coats and on my right hand
These I primarily made to showcase some beautiful new colors I bought. The light blue is a Revlon and the darker blue is Sinful Colors. They had the side effect of being the favorite color of the guy I am dating. #I’mabigdork He liked them though. I had these
I painted these to match a dress I wore to a wedding and to Easter services the day after. The dress was primarily blue, but I hate being matchy-matchy so instead I highlighted the oranges from the flowers on the dress. I was going for an orange camouflage pattern to
So my plans for this manicure were more along the lines of like a cherry blossoms kind of thing using my new teardrop shaped pearls. It was…less than successful, but it still looked kind of cool! As usual, I waited far too long before taking a picture and the
Okay, this was really exciting! Sally Beauty Supply had this Halloween set on sale for $3.49! That’s a fantastic price for a SINGLE bottle of China Glaze, let alone 4! The glitter is kind of weird, but it also comes with a glow-in-the-dark top coat, so I think
I cannot for the life of me remember if I saw these somewhere in other colors, or if I thought of them myself, but it is more than likely that I saw them somewhere and imitated them. Mostly I was excited about my new purple color from Revlon. I think
Okay, these are ADORABLE. Sadly I painted them right before a great personal tragedy in my life and thus the only picture I have of them is one taken with my friend’s iPhone. Thank you Jenn, else these would have been lost forever. I actually pre-planned these, which is
So I guess this is my first post of the new year! I apologize for that, but holy MOLY has January been a busy month! A lot of great things have happened to me this month. Interviewed for some jobs, received some offers, NEGOTIATED ONE, and then accepted it! Started
That turquoise nail is just so cool! I adore these. I wore them to contra dancing, and I don’t remember exactly what made me start thinking about Southwestern jewelry, but I love the result. The accent nail is done by splattering black paint with a straw over a that
Writing the title of this post tripped me up a little as I did not know whether to write “2012” or “2013” in the title. I went with 2012 since I am talking about New Year’s Eve, which is still 2012. I have been questing for the perfect gold
Merry Christmas ya’ll! Now get off the internet and back to your families. Unless you are lonely this Christmas, in which case shoot me an email by clicking my name under the Contact title in the sidebar. I’ll make sure to respond and keep you company :)
I hate the heck out of winter and cold weather, but at least I can write this sitting with my feet by the fireplace (gas fire, which is good because fire-lighting is not my forte). I was even actually blogging when I took the picture! As opposed to putzing around
I did some beautiful fall manicures in November and I am sorry you did not get to see them when they were relevant! Currently it is Christmas Eve and snowing…not exactly Thanksgiving anymore. So instead you get one compilation post that is VERY picture heavy. First ones I did,
The end of the semester was crazy and I had to focus on my priorities, thus my blog got dropped. However I (almost) always took pictures of each manicure I did, so you will get to see them all. Other than school, one of my priorities was interviewing for full-time
You may have noticed, the majority of my manicures are bright and obnoxious, because let’s face it, that’s just more fun. However, I can do other things, as much as I do not usually prefer them. Actually, I even paint my nails in solid colors sometimes, I just
Happy Veteran’s Day veterans! This post is rather serious for a bit as this is a topic that means a lot to me. Don’t worry, I start talking about nails again at the bottom. Supporting our country, our military and our veterans has always been important to me.
You’d think leopard has to be trashy, but I want to prove it isn’t. What happened is, I got a beautiful metallic taupe polish from Revlon and painted my nails with it for an interview. Then as usual, I could not leave well-enough alone and painted it with
So I too do not want to miss out on the chance to dress in the bare minimum of clothing (pun intended) on the sluttiest night of the year, Halloween. However, I still wanted to be able to take pride in my costume for its creativity, and decided to be
Okay, very last Halloween nails for the year! I love these so darn much, but they could only stay on my nails a day as I had to make them professional for my interview with Cigna this week. I picked this photo because the shadow they cast makes it look
So anyone who knows me at all knows I have a fear of zombies that borders on a phobia, particularly considering just how irrational that fear is. It doesn’t necessarily interfere with my everyday life, although I cannot even handle watching Shaun of the Dead and whenever I walk
