31 Day Challenge 2015: Signature Style

Hello lovelies!

It's the last day of the 31 Day Challenge and I'm posting late.....typical. Oh well, I went to some show openings with friends last night and fell asleep pretty much right when I got home. It was a much needed night out but I'm back with some nails!

Blue, glitter, and a pattern. I did all of my favorites today!

My nails look so short here, meh ):

31 Day Challenge 2015: Something You've Never Tried Before

Hello lovelies!

It's Friday and it's the second to last day of this challenge! I am sad to see the challenge go as I think I've done some of my best nail art this past month but I really need to be focusing more on school and actually sleeping haha. So, I'm looking forward to having my weekends off from blogging again.

Anywho, onto the nails!

I may have been a bit lazy with today's theme....but I like the nail art so I don't mind (:

I'm back with another post for The Nail Challenge Collaborative.

I think these were the nails that I wore to my first day of classes....last week....that's how behind I am at writing posts....whoops!

31 Day Challenge 2015: Topper Other Then Glitter

Hello lovelies!

Can you believe that there's only three days left of this challenge? Where did the time go? 

Anywho, onto the nails!

Also, new short nails....I had some peeling happen to my index and middle finger nails, and I had kind of been babying them for a while to make sure they didn't break. But I'm taking a screen printing class this semester, and we did a demo on Monday on the whole process from making your screen to creating the prints. Well let's just say no. There's no way my nails are going to survive this semester. I'm hoping that I can keep them at a decent length but we'll see how long that lasts.

Ice Polish - Valentine's Day + Mardi Gras Nail Art

Hello lovelies!

I'm back with nail art that I did with the polishes that I reviewed yesterday from Ice Polish!

Let's get to the nails!

31 Day Challenge 2015: Recreate An Old Manicure

Hello lovelies!

How is everyone doing today? I had a snow day today because of the snow storm that hit the East Coast but I don't think we actually got much snow...they cancelled today's classes yesterday because everyone thought we were going to get a lot.....but I don't know, I slept all day and didn't go outside....so....yeah, if you did get hit with a lot of snow, please stay safe!

And here's some nail art to make you smile!

Bright colors to the rescue!!

New To Me Indie: Ice Polish - Valentine's Day + Mardi Gras

Hello lovelies!

I'm back with another post for you guys. I was recently contacted by Erin from Ice Polish to review her upcoming Valentine's Day and Mardi Gras polishes, and of course I said yes! I love showing you guys brands that you might have never heard of. I'm super excited about these polishes so I'm going to stop rambling and get to the photos!

Hello lovelies!

The first time I attempted the fish tail braid design, I said I'd never do it again. How did attempt number two go? Check under the cut to find out (;

N.A.I.L Linkup: Newspaper

Hello lovelies!

I'm back again with a third post for you! I realized that I have a lot of posts that should be up before the end of January so I'll probably be double (possibly triple) posting for the rest of the month. Hopefully you guys don't get sick of me!

Onto the nails!

This weekend has been filled with a lot of firsts. Yesterday it was my first attempt at using decals, earlier it was my first time using a Butter London polish, and this is my first attempt at the newspaper nail art technique!

Hello lovelies!

The Hobby Polish Bloggers are all posting together this weekend and we're kicking this year off with things that are new to us! For those of you who don't know, the Hobby Polish Bloggers is a Facebook group for nail polish bloggers. I've found that the group is made up of some awesome people who are always super helpful when it comes to different aspects of blogging.  Definitely take the time to check it out!

Anywho, onto the nails!

I wonder if anyone can guess what my "new-to-me" thing was? Probably not but who knows. You get double the brownie points if you guess right!

The Nail Challenge Collaborative: Wallpaper - #2

Hello lovelies!

I'm back! I've been behind in posting manicures for the other challenges that I have going on this month. The sad thing is that I have most of the designs painted, it's just been hard finding the time to write the posts up. So, I'm stepping it up! Woo!

Here's my second look for the Nail Challenge Collaborative's wallpaper theme!

31 Day Challenge 2015: Three Shades of Green and Yellow

Hello lovelies!

Super late post tonight but I'm still on time with the challenge! I've only had two days of classes but it's pretty much already gotten a bit crazy. Yay! I'm still here though!

So, onto the nails!

I'm still like half asleep right now, so I don't even know what to say here. I took a "nap" after my studio class this morning and was in such a deep sleep that I couldn't remember what day it was when I woke up. So, I mean, there's that.

31 Day Challenge 2015: Rainbow

Hello lovelies!

Today is my first day of classes, can you believe it? As usual, I stayed up way too late so this will be a quick post.

Onto the nails!

If you guys follow me on Instagram, then you've seen a sneak peek of these nails. Well, look, here they are! And if you aren't following me, boo haha! I'm trying to post more there with sneak peeks and nail mail photos, so here's a link to check it out. Don't worry, I'll wait while you go visit me there (;

31 Day Challenge 2015: Fire

Hello lovelies!

Blah, late post again. Oh well. I'm all moved back into my apartment though and everything is unpacked! Yeah! I don't know if any of you have tried carrying a full melmer up a flight of stairs before but I don't recommend it. All of my polish survived though!

Anywho, onto the nails!

I'm really hoping people get what's going on here or else I'm in trouble haha.

31 Day Challenge 2015: Artwork

Hello lovelies!

Quick post today because I'm moving back to school today! I'm excited even though I'm totally not looking forward to having to carry all of my stuff up to my second floor apartment....lame. I also know that the minute that I'm done unpacking, I need to sit down and do some serious school work...I did finally start though, so yay! Progress!

Anywho, onto the nails!

Glitter! Yay!

The Nail Art Guild: Seven Deadly Sins

Hello lovelies!

I'm back with another post for you guys because The Nail Art Guild is posting today on Instagram. This week we're doing manicures about the Seven Deadly Sins, which, was super hard! Gah!

Anywho, onto the nails!

Who can guess which one of the seven sins I decided to paint?

31 Day Challenge 2015: Recreate A Mani By Your Favorite Blogger

Hello lovelies!

How is everyone's weekend going so far? My day will be spent doing laundry and packing, so I can leave for school tomorrow. Woo, fun...not really haha!

Anywho, onto the nails

Who can guess which blogger I chose to honor today?

31 Day Challenge: Tranquility

Hello lovelies!

Late post today so let's get to the nails!

Today's theme was another tough one for me but I like what I ended up doing!

31 Day Challenge 2015: Green Base

Hello lovelies!

Happy Thursday! Why is it a happy Thursday? Because today is my last day of work before I go back to school, woo!

Anywho, let's get to the nails!

I'm in love with this green polish!

N.A.I.L Linkup - Rubber Duckies

Ello!

I'm back with another post for you guys! Have you guys heard of the Nail Art Ideas Linkup? Every month the ladies from Brijits Digits, Craftynail, Eeeek Nail Polish!, and Nail That Accent! come up with a few different nail art ideas for each week of the month. There's a linkup so everyone can share their work with each other. I participated for most of last year and decided to take part again, even though I skipped the first "Marsala" theme because I don't have a marsala colored polish.....yet...it's in the mail...thank you Zoya sale!

Alright! Enough talking, onto the nails!

When I started this blog, I never imagined that I would be painting rubber duckies on my nails. But I did it and they're kind of cute!

31 Day Challenge 2015: Holo

Hello lovelies!

We're halfway through the week and luckily I get today off! I'm still not feeling any better and it's making me tired all the time. I almost went to bed last night without doing any nail art, but I just couldn't do it! I knew that I was going to need something to stare at while my car was being inspected haha.

Anywho, let's get to today's nails!

I think teal and black might be my favorite color combination for nail art because I love these!

31 Day Challenge 2015: Inspired By Pinterest

Hello lovelies!

How is everyone doing? I have exactly one week until classes start up again! I have so much to do before I go back....this is going to be a fun week. Hopefully...

We have cute nail art though, so let's talk more about that!

Someone at work thought these nails were Jamberry stripes. Haha nope!

31 Day Challenge 2015: Film

Hello lovelies!

This is my last full week of "freedom" before school starts up again! Well, kind of freedom, hence the quotes. I still have to work and I've supposed to have been doing school work over break but uh, you know, no. Whoops. Yeah, I'm not happy with myself....but at least we have nails to look at and that makes me happy!

Also, technical note thing, I guess. I switched my commenting system over from Disqus to IntenseDebate yesterday because I found out that some people haven't been able to comment on the blog. I myself like Disqus but if it's not letting people comment I'm willing to let it go. I like getting comments from everyone so hopefully the switch will fix the issues. Please let me know if you are having any issues commenting so I can try to fix it! I honestly installed it in like ten minutes before going to work yesterday, so I haven't really looked into much of it yet. Feel free to send me an email or Facebook message if something comes up! Thanks!

Okay, nails. Now. Look!

I did Jurassic Park inspired nails!.....again....wee!

31 Day Challenge 2015: Reversed Polarities

Hello lovelies!

How has everyone's weekend been? I'm finally kind of getting ahead on nail art and I'm so happy! I'm excited for some of the posts that I have to share with you guys.

But let's get to today's nails!

And yeah, you read that post title right. Reversed polarities? Hardest challenge theme ever....

31 Day Challenge 2015: Glitter Base

Hello lovelies!

Super late post but I'm still on time for the challenge. Woo!

Onto the nails!

Bright colors and an 80's pattern? I like it!

The Nail Challenge Collaborative: Wallpaper - #1

Hello!

I'm back with a second post for you guys. This month's theme for The Nail Challenge Collaborative is wallpaper! When I first saw that this was one of the choices for January, I got super excited and voted for it without even thinking. Now that's time to actually do the nail art, I'm freaking out...I've been having such a hard time finding inspiration that I can actually paint on my nails. Blah!

Anywho, onto the nails!

So far this is the only design that I have done! Woo for planning ahead!

31 Day Challenge: Red Base

Hello lovelies!

Can you believe that it's already Friday? We're getting down to the end of my winter break and honestly, it's freaking me out. One more semester and then I'm down with college....weird....and I totally had a different introduction in my head for this post but I'm just going to leave that.

Onto the nails!

I think I finally found a red polish that I actually like wearing! Read below to find out what it is (:

31 Day Challenge 2015: Monochromatic

Hello lovelies!

Late post today so let's get right to the nails!

Green! Woo!

31 Day Challenge 2015: Pink & Aqua

Hello lovelies!

Can you believe that we're already a week into this challenge? I feel like whenever I do these long, daily challenges time is in this weird state where it seems like it's dragging on but at the same time it's really flying by. Does that make sense? Probably not. It's hard to explain. 

I don't know where I was going with that, so let's get to the nails!

Now, this might be one of my favorite manicures that I've done in a long time. :D

31 Day Challenge 2015: Half & Half

Hello lovelies!

You guys will be so proud to know that I only bought one Zoya polish yesterday after work! I've never seen Jules before and it was sparkly, so it came home with me. I was so proud of myself until I found out about the Cult Nails liquidating sale and I bought six....whoops. The few polishes that I have from the brand are such a great quality though that I couldn't miss the chance to try a few more. I'm definitely going to miss the brand /:

Anywho, onto today's nails!

Is this my first zebra print manicure? It wasn't my intention but it's what it looks like, so yeah. Zebra print!

Parallax Polish Nail Art

Hello lovelies!

I'm back with another post for you guys. This one is all about some Parallax Polish nail art! Let's get right to the nails!

31 Day Challenge 2015: Dotting Tools

Hello lovelies!

Guess who's job randomly started selling Zoya polishes? Mine. Guess what one of my favorite mainstream polish brands it? Zoya. Guess who is about to be in big trouble after her shift at work tomorrow? Me. Crap. Gah!! How am I supposed to have any self control when the display is literally like 10 steps from where I work?! This could end very badly....very, very, very badly....

Anywho....let's look at some nails!

Dotting tools and I actually got along, long enough for me to do this design! Woo!

New To Me Indie: Parallax Polish - Assortment

Hello lovelies!

I've been meaning to get this review up for you guys but between the New Year, my phone issues, and being sick, I had to push it back. Until now. Seriously, I'm excited to show you guys these polishes and hopefully introduce you to a new (to me) indie brand! Welcome Parallax Polish!

31 Day Challenge 2015: Happiness

Hello lovelies!

So, let's get to the nails!

Today's theme is about happiness and bright colors make me happy, so I painted bright nails!

The Nail Art Guild: Retro

Hello lovelies!

I have a second post for you guys! The Nail Art Guild is posting their retro nail art on Instagram today and I was hoping to join in but I still don't have a phone....which means no Instagram. So sad face. I'm supposed to be getting it back today but who knows. I honestly never realized how often I completely stop what I'm doing to check my phone....it's almost kind of sad....but I just want it back D:

Anyways, I'll still show you guys what I did for today!

Turtles! Totally not what I was going for...
