The Never Ending Pile Challenge: Least Expensive

Hello lovelies! 

Halfway through the week! Woo! I'm trying to stay ahead on my projects and what not so maybe this week won't end so badly. Except for maybe this presentation that I have at 8:30am today...yeah, no thanks. Marisa doesn't function that early ugh.

Anywho, onto the nails!

These nails are so not anything that I would ever wear so I don't even know how this happened....

Anyways, onto the nails!

The Never Ending Pile Challenge: Most Expensive

Hello lovelies!

Last week of school woo! I'm sure you guys are just as excited as I am because this means that I'll stop complaining about it for a few months! It's alright, I'd be annoyed with me too by now. I mean, the past 8 months of this blog have been a whole lot of ranting with a little bit of nail art thrown in, whoops...

Anyways, onto the nails!

More stripe nails! Clearly, I've been in the mood for using a lot of striping tape lately which is weird because it's really time consuming.....

Holy poop! A lot of nails on the blog this week! I did my first real review this week on the blog, make sure to check it out if you haven't, and I think my nail art is getting back up to where I want it to be! It's been tough juggling nail art with school so I've been taking the easy way out of things but I think things are getting back to the level that I want it to be at!

I said last week that I had things up my sleeve for cool nail art and I think this week you'll actually get to see it! I have my posts painted all the way up to Friday, woo go me! Anyways, I liked a lot of things that I posted this week! I liked my drugstore nails for the Never Ending Pile Challenge and a lot of people liked my triangle gradients. Cult Nails even shared them on Instagram and someone asked me to do a video of them! I might start attempting to do nail art tutorials but I need to make it through this semester though haha. Let me know if there's anything you would want to see!

Here are some of the upcoming challenge prompts:

And a song for today:

Cults - I Can Hardly Make You Mine

Thanks for reading guys and check back later for a nail art post!

The Never Ending Pile Challenge: Had To Have It

Hello lovelies!

I'm catching up on the posts that I missed yesterday! I've already started working on painting nails for next week so hopefully I won't fall behind this week!

Anywho, onto the nails!

These nails seem weird to me....I don't know what it is but I'm unsure about these....

Golden Oldie Thursdays: Tropical

Hello lovelies!

Sorry that my posting is a bit weird right now. It's the end of the semester and that means a ton of final projects and the struggle to finish them all. I would promise that it'll get better next week but it's the last week of classes so I can't really promise that haha....

Anyways, onto the nails!

This post was supposed to go up yesterday but I worked on projects all night and then fell asleep after class whoops!

Squishy Face Polish - Pastel Art

*Products in this post were provided in exchange for an honest review

Hello lovelies!

I have another post for you today! For me not having a lot of time, I sure am posting a lot this week....funny how that one works. I apologize for being so absent! I'm super behind on reading blogs and I haven't been sharing my posts anywhere really. Hopefully, I'll be able to catch up before the week is over.

Anyways, I wanted to create some nail art with the Squishy Face Polishes that I reviewed earlier this week! 

All I can think about when I see these nails is unicorns....Don't ask...

The Never Ending Pile Challenge: Boutique

Hello lovelies!

Who else is happy that this week is halfway over? I know I am! Yesterday was so much fun but it was so long and I know today will be another long one. There's less than 2 weeks left in this semester though! Gah, I'm going to be a senior next year....when did that happen?

Anywho, onto the nails!

I don't really know what I was going for with these nails but I like them!

Tri-Polish Challenge: Disaster Nails

Hello lovelies!

I'm going to keep this post quick again since it's late and today is going to be a super long day. We have a designer coming to school today to give a bunch of talks and I'm super pumped! So, if I'm a bit absent today you all know way.

Anyways, onto the nails!

These nails are just a straight up mess, like woof. I don't even know haha.

Squishy Face Polish - Spring 2014 Collection: Part 1

*Products in this post were provided in exchange for an honest review.

Hello lovelies!

I have something exciting for you today! This is my first real review post! I was so honored (and shocked) when Alice asked me if she could send me some polishes. You all know that I've always struggled with the photographing of my nails so the fact that someone trusts me enough to let me photograph their polishes is an awesome feeling!

Anyways, I'm going to show you part one of the Squishy Face Polish 2014 Spring collection today and the rest tomorrow! Warning: This will be picture heavy (;

I'm going to start this post off with the polish Ciao Bella!

The Never Ending Pile Challenge: Drugstore

Hello lovelies!

Anyways, onto the nails!

Does Wal-Mart count as a "drugstore" haha? Uh yeah, hopefully (:

FingerFood Theme Buffet: Week 16 - Gothic

Hello lovelies!

I'm back with a nail art post for you! Yay!

Let's get onto the nails!

I think it's pretty evident that I haven't done any real free hand art in a while haha...or just the fact that circular shapes on nails is hard to do.....I pick the 2nd option! (;

• Tri-Polish Challenge: Wave Tips

• Golden Oldie Thursdays: Hot Pink
• The Never Ending Pile Challenge: Indie
• Indie Fridays! Shirley Ann Nail Lacquer - Knot-Knot + Not Your Mama's Cranberry Sauce

I only used blue nail polish twice this week! What?! I don't even know how that happened, I wore so many colors this week that I normally wouldn't wear. Weird....

So, I think I said last week that I had things up my sleeve for cool nail art ideas and then I did some of the easiest nail art I think I've ever posted for a good chunk of the week. *pats self on back* Whoops. It's the end of the semester, so time is getting tight again which means most of my nail painting doesn't happen till like 2-3am most mornings /: I think I have some fun stuff coming up this week though so look forward to that!

Here are the challenges I'm taking part in:

Hello lovelies!

How was everyone's Monday? My mock interview went alright yesterday! I think, I don't really know, I haven't had a legit interview since I got my current job almost 4 years ago....

Anyways, onto the nails! 

More weird french tip nails! These are kind of fun though!

More after the jump:

The Never Ending Pile Challenge: Frost

Hello lovelies!

Are you all prepared for your week? I think this one is going to be a long one. I have a mock interview for a class today and I'm super nervous! I get really anxious about things like this though so I think half of it is me overreacting haha. Oh well.

Anyways onto the nails!

I'm so in love with this gradient! I wanted to add something else to it but I didn't want to mess it up so I left it alone.

The Never Ending Pile Challenge: Pastel

Hello lovelies!

Hopefully you guys are able to read this. I totally forgot that I bought a custom domain name a while back for the blog. I couldn't get it set up when I bought it but realized last night that both the blogspot address and the custom domain work. But when I try setting up the re-direct, I just keep getting a re-direct page that doesn't do anything, none of the buttons work on it. I'm trying to figure out why this is happening, hopefully I can figure it out soon /:

Anyways, onto the nails!

Look at the polish, I'm in love!

Tri-Polish Challenge: Bright Pops

Hello lovelies!

How did everyone's Monday go? Mine was pretty decent considering that I got to take a nap! :3 Naps always make everything better.

Anyways, onto the nails! 

I figured out a way to make this month's colors not Easter-y like and I'm super excited about it!

The Neverending Pile Challenge - Glitter

Hello lovelies!

It's time for a new challenge! Woo! I love new challenges! This one is called The Neverending Pile Challenge and was created by the always lovely Missy of Gnarly Gnails. The point of the challenge is to use some of your untried polishes.....clearly....yeah. I'll probably be in and out of this one since I don't have untrieds for every theme, I'll just do my normal posts if I'm skipping a theme.

Anyways, onto the nails!

Most of my untried polishes are indies, so expect to see a ton of indies over the next few months. I'm going to try to do nail art for every theme though because that's how I do!....and I only really swatch polishes for Friday....

Golden Oldie Thursdays: Pastel

Hello lovelies!

Who else is excited that this week is almost over? I know I am. I've realized that I've only been sleeping during the day after my classes this week which is probably why this week seems weird...

Anyways, onto the nails!

More Easter-ish appropriate nails? Maybe? I don't really "celebrate" Easter so I'm not really sure why I keep pointing it out...anyways!

More after the jump:

Patterned Wednesdays: Black & White A+

Hello lovelies!

Did you guys all survive April Fool's yesterday? I completely forgot about it until I sat down to read some blogs later in the day. This week feels weird, I don't know how to explain it but I just feel like everything is hazy and that this week isn't really happening? I don't know, like I said it's weird. Blah.

Anyways, onto the nails!

I haven't worn black nail polish as my base for nail art in so long. I forgot how much I love simple black nails!

Tri-Polish Challenge: Watermarble

Hello lovelies!

I hope you all fared well with your Mondays yesterday! Mine started off pretty rough but got better throughout the day so it was alright. I'm just glad that it's over! The rest of the week seems like it might be a little easier......hopefully. 

Anyways, the Tri-Polish Challenge is back today!

I warned you guys that I at least 1 of my Tri-Polish Challenge manicures each month would be a watermarble! (: and can these count as Easter nails? We all now that I'm bad at remembering to do holiday nails, so I'll do them now and get it out of the way! (;
