Light At The End of The Tunnel

Hello! 
What a busy week! I am almost done with school for the  school year (yay!!!) so I have been doing a lot of assignments that somehow I didn't remember to do earlier. Finally I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Oh how I long for June 1st! School has been taking me away from nail polish. How cruel? I think that should be a crime. But I managed to get in a black polish with glitter and one designed finger.  I had better plans for these but just didn't have time. I will have to do something amazing the beginning of next month to make up for it. Any ideas?


Pink and Green Stripes!

Hello!
Here are my latest nails! I am totally worn out from such an awesome yet busy week so this is gonna be short post today. I think they are pretty cute. I did pink on one hand and green on the other because I couldn't decide which color to use. I just got the O.P.I. top coat and I love it so much. I am so happy with it! Here they are! 




Spring Challenge- Flowers and Stripes!

Hey Everyone,
So here is look #2. I wasn't able to get the first one done but I will be on track for he rest of this ;). I know I didn't explain the spring challenge very well so I will try to make it as simple as I can but keep in mind I am not the best at explaining things. All the rules are written here but basically I need to do five themed manicures and use the four color combinations provided. For this one I used the blue and purple. I did flowers and chevrons. But I have to pose the question: Are chevrons considered stripes? Is there such a thing as chevron stripes? I think they look like stripes. Thereby, right now they're stripes. I hope you like em! I will be posting all the other bloggers who will be participating at the end of the challenge cause people keep being added. More nails soon! Click for a close up!

Laziness, Feathers, Fun!

Hey Everybody!
I declare today a lazy day! I think everyone needs a lazy day every once in a while. My lazy days might come more often than most though ;) This morning my mom was going through her wedding pictures and it was funny to see how all my family looked in the 90s. These nails are peacock feathers and stripes! At first I made the feather purple but it didn't look right though so I made it blue instead! Its kind of a mess but I didn't really have time to fix it. I have done my nails like three times in the last 24 hours! I just can't pick one look I guess. I am getting ready for the spring challenge! Its starts in three days. I hope you guys like it! Its gonna be a lot of fun. I am so psyched! 




Animal Print!

Hey Guys!
This week I am going crazy! It's supposed to be my week off from school but no... its not. I spent one whole day writing a really long research paper and before I could save it someone closed it without saving it. So I am really bummed out cause I have to do it all over again. These are the times I wish for a genie! So much for spring break! But doing my nails helped relieve my frustration a little bit. I really like this purple from Sally Hansen. Its called "Purple Voltage". I will definitely be posting more very soon! I am already planning new nails. Check back soon!



Fashion Statement!

Hello!
It has come to my attention that color blocking is the new trend for spring. I am not a trendy person but I have to say that these nails are pretty darn fashionable. They aren't perfect but they are good enough for me. Plus they are bright and I am a big fan of bright mani's. I might blind others with neon colors but it makes me happy! The colors not the blinding people. I also wanted to thank everyone who is reading my blog! I am almost at 400 views and that makes me totally happy! I will have to do a poll or something to let you guys choose my next project, I think you can do that. I am still new with using this contraption but I will hopefully figure it out! Enough of my random rants and more nails!

I used a white base, which you can pretty much use any brand that works for you. I used Stripe Rite in "Neon Pink" for the second layer and for the blue I used China Glaze in "Frost Bite". Then topped with my favorite top coat which is Sally Hansen's Diamond Strength. 

Black and Blue.... and a Pinch of Pink!

Hey There,
Who is above a chic striped mani? Plus, add a heart and what more could you ask for! My thumb nail broke sadly... and now it is very short and it makes me sad when I see how stubby it is! Oh well, there is no use crying over spilled milk or in this case a broken nail. It will grow back eventually but until then no laughing at my stubbly thumb ;). 






Candy Canes and Penguins

Hello!
There really is no explanation for this one except that penguins are really cute! I just couldn't resist.  They swim, they waddle, they slide on their belly's, they steal my heart! For my "non-thumb" nails I did a candy cane stripe. I think this adorable penguin needs a name..... Edward? Flipper? Waffles? OK I admit the last one is just cause I am hungry but it could be a pretty cute name! Click for larger view!
