33 Day Challenge - Day 30: Same Pattern, Different Colors

Hello darlings!

It's Friday! I was supposed to head back to school today but I decided to stay home till tomorrow just so I can have a little more time with my puppy hehe. I seriously need to do my homework though....D: I have so many projects to finish up and I hardly ever get work done when I'm home. UGH! One more week and then I'll have tons of time for the blog and friends! (:

Anywho, today is day 30 of the 33 Day Challenge! WHAT?!

I made stripes out of little brushstrokes! For some reason I thought this prompt said only 3 colors, so thats why my pinky finger isn't the pattern haha.

Tri-Polish Challenge: Half Moons

Hello lovelies!

Today is Thanksgiving! I hope everyone who celebrates has a wonderful day and gets to spend time with their loved ones. My job actually asked me to work today but I turned it down, I always get stuck working every holiday so it's nice to get a choice this year. My nails for today aren't very "festive" but I think if you've been reading my blog you've probably already realized that I'm not very good at sticking with themes or seasons. Whoops!

Anyhow, today is the last Tri-Polish Challenge manicure for this month!

I've never posted a half moon manicure on the blog before, but this was the first nail art design that I attempted back when I started getting into nail art.

33 Day Challenge - Day 29: Your Favorite Pattern

Hello darlings!

Today is my first day of Thanksgiving break! I was supposed to head home today but a snow storm hit Albany last night and my hometown has had a snow storm warning since Monday /: So, I'm going to try and wait the storm out and head home tomorrow morning, hopefully. My goal is to finish as many projects as I can so I can take some time off to hang out with my family (mostly my dog (; ) when I get back home.

Anywho, 33 Day Challenge is back today!

Now, I had a super hard time picking one favorite pattern! So, I went with dots because I like having dots on my nails and in my design work.

Tri-Polish Challenge: Splotches

Hello darlings!

Today is my last day of class before break and my only lecture is cancelled! 3:30 can not come soon enough! I need a night to dedicate to doing some nail art, because clearly I have my priorities straight haha! 

Anyways, the Tri-Polish Challenge is back today!

Sparkly splotches! I'd love to hear some guesses as to what you think I used for these nails!

33 Day Challenge - Day 28: Lines

Hello lovelies!

Today is Monday! But I don't even care because I only have 2 days of classes this week and 1 of my classes was already cancelled! SCORE! I'm so excited to get a break from classes, unfortunately, my whole break will be spent working on projects but it's nice that I can just wear sweats all week (;

Anyways, this is the 2nd to last week of the 33 Day Challenge, GAH!

I warned you that there would be more striping tape nails! "Lines" was basically for a striping tape manicure, come on haha!

 Hello darlings!

Here's this week's recap!

• 33 Day Challenge - Day 25: A New Technique For You
• Tri-Polish Challenge: Rainy Day
• 33 Day Challenge - Day 26: Something From Pinterest
• Tri-Polish Challenge: Stripey Stripes
• 33 Day Challenge - Day 27: Manicure With 3 Patterns

Another full week of challenge nails! Whew haha. I feel like I say the same thing in every single of these recaps but I really enjoyed what I posted this week! I just realized that I used purple in every single manicure, that might be why I liked them all so much haha. I tried out the nimbus nail art technique and absolutely loved it and I had 2 skittle manicures this week, which I am becoming obsessed with doing.

I love the colors for the Tri-Polish Challenge this month. Remember that they are purple, blue, and grey. I attempted to make rain clouds but they looked more like mutated strawberries haha. But I think I made up for it with my striping tape manicure! I told you I'm starting to like it! I'm like 99.9% positive that it shows up again this week hehe!

Here are the upcoming prompts for the 33 Day Challenge:

Today's song:

Plug In Stereo feat. Mother Fox - I Would Do Anything For You (Foster The People Cover)

Next week will be another full week of challenge nails so be sure to check back! (:

33 Day Challenge - Day 27: Manicure With 3 Patterns

Hello darlings!

Do you know what today is? IT'S FRIDAY! WOO! If you've never heard what a completely sleep deprived college student sounds like, just read that last sentence over and over again out loud until you're so sick of saying it that it becomes annoying. My usual dialogue on Fridays is "I'm tired, I'm sleepy, I can't wait to nap." x 1000 haha! Anyways, today is day 27 of the 33 Day Challenge!

Here are my nails! 

Where is all this cuteness coming from lately? So much girly, can not compute! (:

Tri-Polish Challenge: Rainy Day

Hello lovelies!

The Tri-Polish Challenge is back for this month! I'm a little nervous that I might be the only one participating........(please someone else be doing it haha). I try and paint all my challenge manicures ahead of time so I found time to do all of my manicures for TPC. I know a lot of people had to put it on hold because of the 33 Day Challenge which is totally understandable, I seriously debated it also.

But anyways, here are my nails!

This month's colors are purple, blue, and grey! The first thing that popped into my head was rainy clouds, so that's what I created!

• Rockstar Park Gradient
• 33 Day Challenge - Day 23: Geometric

Another week of the 33 Day Challenge is complete! There's only 3 more weeks left, eek! What am I supposed to do?! Anyways, this week had a lot of glitter and striping tape. I tried my hand at stamping again, but failed /: But there's good news! I bought a squishy XL stamper and I've been able to stamp very well since then! I guess you guys will just have to keep checking back to see those nails (;

If I had to pick a favorite post from this week, it would probably be my geometric nails! I'm a big fan of using shapes and neat lines in my design work so they definitely resonated with me. 

Also, I found out that I was nominated for the Versatile Blogger award by 3 different blogs! Thank you to Lucy from The Nail Snail, Stef from la gazelle nails, and Jennifer from The Polished Cowgirl! I've already filled out this award so I'll just link back to that one. But thank you so much, everybody check out these ladies!!

Anyways, on to the nails!

Hello darlings!

I hope you're having a lovely Wednesday, I'm certainly enjoying being able to sleep haha. I think over the past like 2-3 days, I've only been sleeping in 2 hour periods but it's over for now! Today is Day 20 of the 33 Day Challenge! Holy crap! I feel like I'm going to be so lost when this is over considering that this challenge makes up 3 of my posts a week! Gah! I'm scared ):

Taking a break from me being a drama queen, here are my nails for today!

Camo-ish pattern with pink! Never in a million years did I think I would ever have this combo on my nails or in my wardrobe haha.

A Little Neon Pick Me Up

Hello lovelies!

It's Tuesday and I don't think anyone truly understands how bad I want this day to fly by haha. I have class 8am-3:30pm, 2 projects due, and then 2 student governments meetings after that. Woof! I just want one day to relax and by relax, I really mean start that 10 minute presentation and 20 page paper that I just realized is due the same week the 33 Day Challenge wraps up. Ouch. Haha

But anyways, I have an extremely out of season manicure for you today if you couldn't guess from the title of this post!

Neon polka dots! I know some people don't like to wear certain colors during certain seasons but I was feeling a little sad and needed a pick me up, so I painted my nails as bright as I could!

D: I've truthfully lost count of how many I've pulled at this point. I need a break from all these school projects and work assignments. But today is day 19 of the 33 Day Challenge! Shocking right!
