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.

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!

52 Week Challenge: Music + Not Worn Enough

Hello lovelies!

I'm posting a little later the normal because I was having some laptop troubles this morning. Luckily, everything is alright now and I can write this post then get back to homework. 

So, onto the nails!

Subtle nail art is cool. I think...

52 Week Challenge: Metallic Ikat

Hello lovelies!

Today's post is going to be a quick one. I accidentally fell asleep from 11pm yesterday to 3am today and now I need to do my homework....my sleep schedule is so messed up, I don't even know anymore haha....

Anywho, onto the nails!

I haven't done ikat nails in so long!

The Nail Challenge Collaborative: Animals #4

Hello lovelies!

Gah, I disappeared for a few days again. School has been really crazy lately and I've been spending most of my time in the studio. Actually, I'm currently sitting in the studio now taking a break to write this post. I haven't been having time to paint my nails much either, so I brought polish with me so I can keep up with blog posts haha!

Anywho, enough of my crap, let's get to the nails!

I have my last post for this month's The Nail Challenge Collaborative theme! Look at me being a champ and slipping this in on the last day of the month haha.

52 Week Challenge: Fiery Houndstooth

Hello lovelies!

So, that whole introduction yesterday about how this week should be better than the last couple? Yeah, no, not really. There's a lot of stuff that needs to get done but I've got coffee, so I'll make it! Woo!

At least my first attempt at free-handing a houndstooth pattern turned out pretty good (:

The Nail Challenge Collaborative: Animals - #1

Hello lovelies!

It's time for a new theme for The Nail Challenge Collaborative! I mentioned in my last NCC post that I wasn't excited for this month's theme, but I know a lot of the other ladies in the group are. So, I'm embracing it and trying to make it fun for myself!

Let's see how I did!

If you haven't figured the theme out by now, it's animals.

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!

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 (:

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!!

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.
