Happy Valentines’ Day, everyone! I spent the morning digging my car out so I could go to my all-important job that my managers do not feel I could accomplish at home. (I could. How do they think I graduated college if I wasn’t capable of working at home?). But
Today’s theme in the challenge is “Symbols of Valentines Day,” and according to the 8 katrillion emails Victoria’s Secret has sent me over the last few weeks, a big symbol of Valentines Day is apparently lingerie. I’ve done corset nails before (a bajillion years ago) and was
So I skipped day 5, Toys, because a) I had no idea what I wanted to do and b) work was crazy last week. So onto day 6, Christmas food. I went with candy canes, mainly because I am pretty much addicted to candy canes, but also because they’d
So this one I struggled with this one some, as most of my family’s unique traditions do not translate well onto the nail (like the fact that we have lox and bagels on Christmas morning). So I went classic with this one. Christmas gifts! I realized that none of
Well, I broke my first rule of nail art on this manicure. “Don’t try it on your nails if you can’t even draw it on paper.” For some reason I’ve never been able to draw holly leaves. They’re not even that complicated! The index finger turned
Fall seems to be just about everyone’s favorite season. At the very least, it’s my boyfriend’s favorite. He says it’s because it’s “cuddle season” and he is a “natural-born cuddler.” Whatever, I just like the way fall smells. But, I do love the manicures fall
So I graduate today! Sorta. I elected not to go to commencement but it was today, so I think that counts as me graduating, right? I did nails for it, so I say it does. Check out my fancy honors college medal! Who knew I could freehand a mortarboard? I
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
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
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
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 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,
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
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
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
I saw these somewhere online. I should probably find the link. Nah, she probably did a much better job. The fishnet is a Konad stamp but the rest is free-handed. This is me using this fancy app on my phone for taking pictures.This is me using my fancy cropping
Eeeeeaaaaagle!–Scrubs I may not go to Centennial High school anymore, but I never pass up an opportunity for school spirit! Juuust kidding, I never pass up an opportunity to make my nails match some theme!This stamp isn’t really an eagle, but it looks a lot like one.
This manicure marks my first attempt at splatter nails. I wanted to be embody a vaguely Christmas spirit, without a blatant CHRISTMAS theme. Gold and red does that job nicely. I cannot remember where I found the idea, but [this ](http://www.seventeen.com/fashion/blog/splatter-nails-tutorial)is a tutorial
First post in my new blog! I’ll start off with the two manicures that started it all. I posted them on Facebook months ago, and since then I have been encouraged by many to start a nail-blog. Of course, I don’t ever do things halfway, and with the
