The Nail Challenge Collaborative: 3rd Anniversary Recreations #4

Hello lovelies!

Gah, I missed posting yesterday! I had the photos edited and everything, but I gave my last presentation of the semester and then spent like five hours in the screen printing studio. Oh, well, you guys just get double the posts today (:

So, onto the nails!

Any guesses on what blogger inspired my last recreation for this month's The Nail Challenge Collaborative post?

52 Week Challenge: Neon Sea Fans

Hello lovelies!

I have a quick post for you today. There's a lot going on this week and I have a bunch of final projects that I need to finish. I have all of my posts prepped for this week, I just need to find the time to write.

But let's get the nails!

These nails are weird, but I like them!

Rustic Satin Florals

Hello lovelies!

Can you believe that it's already Monday? Wow. I've honestly been dreading this Monday in particular for a while now, because this is my last week of college classes. I do want to go back to school eventually to get my Masters, or another degree (packaging design? Maybe?), or even possibly becoming a certified nail tech....and I think it's pretty clear from that last run on sentence, that I have no idea. Which is slightly terrifying. But I do know that, it won't happen for a while. A year or two off from school will be nice.

But anyways, this is a nail blog. So, onto the nails!

At least I have florals to combat my fears of graduating......which I totally did not plan...this manicure just happened to be next up in my nail folder, but it works!

The Nail Challenge Collaborative: 3rd Anniversary Recreations #3

Hello lovelies!

It feels weird to be posting on a Sunday. I haven't blogged much this month which means that I've fallen behind on getting some of my challenge manicures up, hence this random post.

I like these nails though, so let's get to the polish!

Brownie points to whoever can figure out what blogger I decided to mimic today!

Onto the nails!

52 Week Challenge: Glitter-y Neon Petals

Hello lovelies!

Can you believe that it's only Tuesday? Yesterday seriously felt like it was so long. Hopefully you all are having a better week!

Anywho, let's get to the nails!

I think I'm starting to remember just how much I love doing/wearing nail art, and this manicure has definitely helped with that (:

Hobby Polish Bloggers: April - April Showers

Hello lovelies!

Posts two days in a row? Yeah! The Hobby Polish Bloggers are all posting together this week and I couldn't miss out on it. The group has so many awesome ladies that are so helpful when it comes to pretty much any nail polish and/or blogging question. I would definitely check the group out if you haven't!

Let's get to the nails!

I can't think of something to write here, so woo, yeah, ignore this rambling!

52 Week Challenge: Negative Dotty Pastels

Hello lovelies!

Long time, no post. Right? Okay, it's been less than a week but it still feels like a long time. I thought I'd be able to get back into blogging like normal this past week but things have been crazy. I've spent the last week preparing projects to submit to the end of the year Senior show for the gallery on campus, I went home, attended a design conference, went out for a bachelorette party, and now I'm preparing the work that got into the show for the gallery plus homework. Usually I'd try harder to get a blogpost in but I guess lately, I haven't really been feeling super motivated to blog or paint my nails even. I think I'm doing better now that I took most of last week off, but we'll see how things go from here. I do miss blogging so I know that I'm not completely over it. We'll just take it day by day for now!

But, no more ranting. Onto the nails!

These nails are definitely not my best work though....meh.

NAIL Linkup: Pastels

Hello lovelies!

So. It's Wednesday and this is my first post of the week. Whoops. I don't know why I thought things with school would calm down, because there's still a lot going on....

But, let's get to the nails!

nails, nail art, nail polish, saran wrap, triangles, hey darling polish, pastels, spring

I don't blog for four days and I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing.....or I'm too distracted by Twin Peaks right now....

The Nail Challenge Collaborative: 3rd Anniversary Recreations #2

Hello lovelies!

I have a post today! I only missed two days but I missed blogging haha. The portfolio review event went well, but I needed a little break to get myself focused on other classes again. This weekend needs to be spent wrapping up a bunch of different projects, but I should be able to go back to my normal blogging schedule next week!

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

I'm loving these colors together!

52 Week Challenge: Classy Needle Drag

Hello lovelies!

I have a super quick post for you guys today. I actually have a Portfolio Review event tonight and I'm super nervous! I know how to talk about my design work and my reasoning behind my decisions, but I'm so shy that I usually just kind of sit quietly in the background. I'm typing this up and then getting right back to looking over all of my work!

So, onto the nails!

These nails are really pretty, so at least I have that going for me haha!

My Kind Of Roses

Hello lovelies!

I hope you all had a great weekend! As usual, mine was spent doing homework but we're nearing the end of the school year...which makes me incredibly nervous...so, maybe that isn't a good thing....

Blah! Anywho, onto the nails!

But I still have my florals and that makes me happy (:

Indie Days: KBShimmer - Let's Not Coral + Falling For Hue

Hello lovelies!

I've got two posts for you guys today! It's been so long since I've done an indie post and I've had these swatches done for a while, so I figured I'd post it now. I'm still working through my KBShimmer collection, so onto the nails!

*All swatches shown with one coat of Glossy Glam



NAIL Linkup: Easter

The Nail Challenge Collaborative: 3rd Anniversary Recreations #1

Hello lovelies!

Sorry for no post yesterday, I had a presentation and spent most of my time preparing for that. I think the presentation went really well though so I'm happy (:
