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!

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 (:

The Nail Challenge Collaborative: Fashion #3

Hello lovelies!

I'm back! With nails! Because well, nail blog! Yeah!

Onto the post!

I just realized that I used my old high school's colors for this....meh...

NAIL Linkup: Cinderella

Hello lovelies!

I have another quick post for you guys!

Onto the nails!

Simple nails are my friend right now haha!

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!

Florals Rule The World

Hello lovelies!

Can you believe that it's already March? I could have sworn that I just started my winter semester...how is Spring Break next week? I'm so confused, gah!

Anywho, onto the nails!

Florals. Florals make things better. Florals are good.

The Nail Challenge Collaborative: Dots - #3

Hello lovelies!

I'm back with a second post. This time for The Nail Challenge Collaborative!

Let's get right to the nails!

Brown nail polish is so weird. I'm still on the fence on whether or not I like it. It's such an odd color and yet I think I ended up wearing these nails for three days.

Nail Art Link Up: Music

Hello lovelies!

Look, two posts! I've got a few things that I need to get up before the end of November so I'm double posting to get it all in.

So, onto the nails!

I got to do some music inspired nail art! I miss doing these!

Vintage Floral

Hello lovelies!

Hopefully you all had a lovely weekend! I decided because Mondays normally suck that Monday will be a free day for me to do whatever nail art that I want, no challenge manicures. I haven't written a non-challenge nail art post in forever, let's see how this goes haha.

Onto the nails!

There is a 99.9% chance that all of these posts will be based on patterns haha!

Oh Mon Dieu 2 - National Pride

Hello lovelies!

There's only 3 days left of the OMD2 challenge. Holy crap!

Let's get to the nails!

You would think as much as I love water marbling, that I would like doing waterspotted nails. But I'm not a huge fan of doing it. I feel like I always make a way bigger mess when I do it and the spray you have to use starts smelling really bad, but I like how this looks! 

Oh Mon Dieu 2 - Feathers

Hello lovelies!

Hopefully everyone's week is off to a nice start! I get tomorrow off from work so I'd say mine is off to a decent start (:

Anywho, onto the nails!

I feel like I've tried a lot of different things while doing this challenge, which is why I love them. And is no exception since this is my first attempt at feather nails!

The Nail Art Guild: The Sea

Ello!

I have something different for you guys today! There's a new nail art group on Instagram called The Nail Art Guild! They post every 2 weeks with a different theme and it seemed like fun so I wanted to play along! I'll have my Indie "Fridays" post up tomorrow or Sunday.

Onto the nails!

This group really only posts on Instagram but I really liked these nails so I wrote up a blog post!

The Never Ending Pile Challenge: Blue

Ello lovelies!

How is everyone's week going? Mine's been pretty uneventful between working and trying to go to Sally's but driving there to find out the store moved...I was so upset! Luckily they opened a new one so I'm going to try and check that out today. I need to buy one of those giant jugs of acetone since I've been going through so much of it!

Anywho, onto the nails!

I love these nails so much! These are probably in my Top 5 Favorite designs for the month!

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: 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! (;

Onto the nails!

I've been wanting to paint roses on my nails for a while now so this was perfectly timed!

Nail-Art-A-Go-Go: Day 25 - Watercolor

Hello lovelies!

I promise I didn't forgot about you guys!! I accidentally fell asleep last night after my night class and doing laundry (I did my 2nd presentation too, and I think it went pretty well for finishing it at 3:30am the night before haha!). But I fell asleep before midnight and ended up sleeping until my alarm went off for class today! Great for me, bad for my homework and writing posts. Oh well, I'm back now! And my afternoon class was cancelled so yay, time for the blog!

And that was a big rant, sorry! Nail time!

More abstract nails and I love these ones too!

I keep wanting to type "Yay" for some reason and I don't know why. If this whole post turns into "Yay, this" "Yay, that," I'm so sorry haha!

Hello lovelies!

What is this you ask?! Marisa posting on a Saturday! That's weird (you're telling me haha!). But I have exciting news, I joined another nail art challenge! (Yep, you read that right, another one. That makes it 4 challenges since 2014 started a month ago, oops). Anyways, this one was too fun to pass up! Thanks to Missy over at Gnarly Gnails for coming up with some super awesome themes!
