So I have had my nails in a kind of squoval shape forever now. (I say kind of squoval because I am not nearly as good about filing them as I should be. They’re usually all a little different). But the other day I was browsing a new blog
Ugh, my index fingers have been breaking, so this is the first post you have seen in a while where I have “short” nails. Short for me at least. Now, I did not paint these with motorcycles in mind. I actually wanted to do galaxy nails and got out a
Okay, between my remembering to use an actual camera and my implementation of the art here, these might be the most professional-looking nails I have ever done! These of course, I did in honor of (finally) seeing The Amazing Spiderman! It was barely still in theaters when I finally did
The debut of my velociraptor nails!! These need no introduction, but since I am a bit of a talker, you get one anyway. Nah, I’ll put it at the end, no need to make you wade through any extra words for this. So cute! I like his angry eyebrows
I would argue that these too fit into my “Back to School” theme from before. (Despite the fact that I did these first.) Although crayons are great at all times of year really. My personal favorite is the sparkly purple pinky crayon. Not because I painted it best, but the
Wow I made these a long time ago. This was probably, the first week of august or the last week of July? I think I painted these the day before I went to trivia with friends for the first time. I really wanted to wear these shoes, and tried to
The exclamation point is deceiving–I am not particularly excited to go back to school. I am, however, excited to show you this manicure! I did it a little late (about two weeks after school started, posted about 3 weeks after that), but I was rather happy with the results.
I really like these nails. They were simple to execute, and involved rhinestones! Since I did them a while ago, I don’t have much to say, other than that I got to use a new Revlon polish! I really love Revlon’s polishes so much. If you buy them
First, the obvious: today marks the official transfer of my blog from Blogger to hosting it myself using WordPress! It’s not totally done, so expect some theme changes. I am also in the process of creating a new header image. The old one was nice (and is on my
I realized I ought to make Olympics nails for multiple reasons. One, because, well, GO TEAM USA! And two, because I’d like to capitalize on the popularity of the Olympics. However, I was really scared of creating something too tacky, and I didn’t even want to attempt the
These nails were an obnoxious idea and I just did not love the execution either. In fact I kind of hated them and re-did them after a day. They would have been better if I had done two coats of a green under the glitter instead of only one. Yuck.
Two weeks ago I attended an Indian wedding. Well just the reception, although I wish I could have attended at least some of the ceremony! Regardless, I fell in love with some of the traditions that come with a large Indian celebration. The choreographed dances by like every relative, the
This weekend I was planning to go to King’s Dominion so I did roller coaster nails! AND I borrowed my mom’s fancy digital camera so the pictures are actually pretty darn good. I’m a big fan of the loop-de-loopI knew I would not be able to imitate
I got a new tealish color and wanted to showcase it. So I was going to just do black lace on top of the teal, but then I got distracted by how pretty a lace would look over a nude color. So I just did an accent nail. I like
I am totally obsessed with vintage. It can take anything ridiculous and somehow make it classy. Want a circus-themed wedding? Sounds like it could be tacky. which I just actually typed as taxi. I may or may not be watching 30 Rock while typing this. How about a VINTAGE circus-themed
So I promised bridal nails quite some time ago… Sorry about that; this semester was a bitch. I actually did these over a month ago and never posted them. Please forgive my atrocious cuticles and broken nails. At least my short pointer finger allows me to demonstrate that a proper
Given the amount of friends I have with impending nuptials (okay, just two, but that’s way more than usual) I want to do a whole post on nail options for brides. Ranging from subtle twists on the french manicure to ones full of sparkle to ones that are a
Happy Easter everyone! Despite the severe allergies I had this weekend, this Easter was probably one of the best of my life. I felt spiritually and emotionally fulfilled. I actually was much more moved by the Good Friday service than the one on Easter Sunday, although the Sunday service was
I love, love, love, love, love these. Of course I need to improve my photo skills as usual. But eh, life goes on. I had bought a few different blue colors at one of CVS’s semi-annual sales (that they don’t advertise) where random make-up and nail polishes are
I was craving some bright colors on my nails to banish the winter blues. Inspired by the warmer weather (although the past few days have been chilly again!), I needed to make my nails happier to match my good mood. And what better color than green? On top is one
I love glitter! That’s pretty much all there is to say about these. Other than that glitter is a bitch to remove.
As much as I love red, I wanted to go more delicate for Valentine’s Day. Pink, Pink, Pink! And who doesn’t love rhinestones? Loooove that Kleancolor holograpphics brand.
Chase told me these looked like camoflauge you’d wear to a Hannah Montana Concert. Of course, that was back when he liked me. Since I post-dated this, I should mention that I actually wrote this July 10th, 2012.
