I'm going to start working my way through my KBShimmer collection! I've paired up the polishes and will be showing two per post along with some nail art, so you guys will be seeing KBShimmer for a well because I have a quite a few to get through.

So, let's get started!


The Nail Challenge Collaborative: Books - Week 4

Hello lovelies!

I'm back today with my last post for this month's The Nail Challenge Collaborative. I'm sad to see this theme go because I was really having fun with it, and I had a bunch of manicures I wanted to try but I ran out of time to do. 

Blah, anyways onto the nails!

52 Week Challenge: Zoya Strokes

Hello lovelies!

Long time, no post....okay, it's only been five days but it feels like a long time to me. I've explained my little absence on Instagram a little bit but short and sweet: I'm back home from school for Thanksgiving break and I really just needed a few days away from school work and blogging. I'm slowly getting myself organized again to start blogging more (we won't talk about that homework....woof) but expect some posts coming your way!

So, let's get to the nails!

These first couple of posts will probably be short and simple.

Indie Fridays!: 365 Days Of Color - The Diary

Hello lovelies!

It's been a while since I did an Indie Fridays post but I'm back with one for you. I've had these swatches and nail art done for so long, but I've been hiding them. Unfortunately, this polish isn't available anymore but you can probably find it in a blog sale like I did. 

Onto the nails!

52 Week Challenge: The Historian

Hello lovelies!

How is your day going so far? I don't really know what to write today so we're going to hope this post comes out alright haha. I fell asleep at like 7pm last night because I wasn't feeling well, and I woke up at 4am this morning. Weird, right? I'm wide awake but kind of just feeling blah. I'm hoping that coffee helps because I have a lot I want to get done!

Anyways, onto the nails!

I feel like I don't wear brown nail polish enough. Which, actually, it's been almost a month since I last posted brown nails....and I don't know where I was going with that...so okay, yeah, moving on!

Guest Post at Shelby Lou Nails

Hello lovelies!

I know that I disappeared for a little bit again and I know I said that I was going to stop apologizing for it, but blah, I still feel bad. But I'm back and motivated! I already edited all of the photos for every post this week minus one or two, so woo! Editing photos is the worst part of blogging, seriously. Like it can go pretty quick if you know the software but it gets so monotonous that it's easy to get distracted while doing it. 

Anyways! I get distracted easily...but I recently wrote a guest post for Shelby Lou over at Shelby Lou Nails and it went live on Friday! Her blog is super awesome and I definitely recommend checking her out especially if you love Hare Polish (:

Thanks guys!

The Nail Art Guild: Fall/Winter Fashion

Hello lovelies!

I have a random post for you all today, woo! I painted some nails to post for this month's book theme in The Nail Challenge Collaborative group, but I just realized that my inspiration was a poster, not a book. Ugh. But I never shared my nails here with you guys that I did for last Saturday's The Nail Art Guild post so I'll show you guys that!

Onto the nails!

N.A.I.L Linkup: November - Pandas

Hello lovelies!

I have a post that's up on time, woo! This semester is starting to get really hectic with all the different projects going on and different club events, so it's getting harder and harder to find the time to write posts. But I'm determined to keep blogging at a consistent rate. I'm thinking of planning a week of guest posts for the last week of the semester, just so I can take the week to focus on school. I don't know though, I should probably decide soon....

Anyways, onto today's nails!

Manic Monday

Hello lovelies!

I'm back! I wasn't even really gone for long...last week was really stressful and weird with school so blogging got pushed to the side. But I'm back this week and with some exciting news. I just found out yesterday but some of my nail art was featured in Nail It! Magazine! I had no idea but I'm so happy! I need to find myself a copy of the issue now (:

Anyways, onto the nails!
