Pink and Glittery with Bows- The Girly Nails

Hello!

I've fallen behind on my Year of polish challenge >_< sorry about that!

I have a day off from lab tomorrow so I will see what I can do about that :)

Today, I have for you a mani I did some weeks ago. I was lacking in creativity and while perusing through my drawer of nail art accessories, I picked up a nice little sheet of nail stickers. 

To keep the nails from looking too busy, I picked a simple color and added a bit o' gold to it!

What do you think of nail stickers? do they help you when you are in a rut?

Until next time ^_^

American Manicure with bows!

This is my mani for week 2 of the Year of Polish challenge

Week 2- French tip mani

I'm actually not too big a fan of the traditional French tip. It's just too bright to look natural, and isn't that the point of the French manicure? to make it look like you  have naturally beautiful white nails? It's the natural make-up of nails.To me though, it's like natural make-up with too much blush. It just doesn't look right. So whenever I go get my nails done (twice a year with my best friend!) I always ask for the American manicure. It's exactly the same as the French, only using ivory instead of white. Tadah! (Don't get me wrong, some people can really pull of the white French tip. I'm just not one of those people)


Then last week, while at Sally's, I browsed the clearance section and found an American manicure set for $3.99!

I just had to use it for this challenge. It was fated that way.

Then I spiffed it up with some acrylic bows and some dots :)

I actually added lines before I put on the bows...
I didn't thing they would be so big to cover everything up. Eh well..

So there it is. My week 2 mani and it is still currently week 2! However, this means that I was unable to get a "sunshine" picture of Alpha Rainbow in Silver for you guys. One day, though, I will get you a picture! one day...

anywho, check out my Year of Polish page to see what's going on next week and to check out some other bloggers who are undertaking this massive challenge :D

Until next time ^_^

Rainy day

Hello all,

Sorry about the lack of posts. I was so busy studying for the GRE, I didnt even have time (or energy) to change my nail polish... It was unfortunate :(
But now! things are better so back to the polish!

It's been raining a lot here for the past couple of weeks. The weather is cooling down (as much as it can in South Carolina...) and I've actually had to start wearing socks D:  I am not a fan of socks...
Anyhow, I decided the weather called for a cool and rainy color so here is China Glaze in Secret Peri-Wink-Le

sorry about the lack of clean up. >_>

Then! the weather started getting better again. More sun and heat, so I added some sponging and stamping  and nail stickers to happy it up a bit.
