Be-lated Christmas Eve Design!

I've been sick, you guys. *sniffles* Feeling MUCH better than I did, but I'm just now getting back to the real world and I realized 2 things. One, I forgot to post on Thursday because that was the day the flu hit me hard. And two, I never posed my Christmas Eve design! Na-what?!

Z is for...

Yeah... about that whole posting more Christmas nail art. I didn't get to it. I friggen hate retail this time of year because it keeps me from doing things I want! But enough complaints. I'm here with a really quick post: THE LAST LETTER OF MY ABC CHALLENGE!

Y is For...

It's been such a busy past few weeks what with the holidays, shopping, working, decorating, planning, wrapping, sorting... and working. I've hardly had time to paint my nails at all. I even went to work for 4 days with no nail polish on. At all. Which is extremely rare for me. But I'm back, at the tail end of 2 consecutive days off with one of my last ABC Challenge designs.

X is For..

It's finally Turkey Day here in the U.S.. It feels like this month has just flown by. Wasn't it just Halloween and it's already the end of November with only 26 days until Christmas?... O.O That's a scary thought.

Autumnal Arrow Tribal

Sneaking away from the family to make a really quick update. XD I feel like a spy or something.

W is For...

I'm sure you're sick of hearing it. I'm sorry this post is a week late. Work and such got in the way... but excuses don't buy you squat, lol. Let's just get onto the design, right?

Happy Halloween!!!

Happy Halloween everyone! ^_^ I can't believe it's already October 31. Where the heck did the time go? I feel like Summer just ended and here we are closing in on the middle of fall. Wow.

Enough of this sentimental crap! I'm sure you're sick of hearing it. I bet you want to get onto my design, huh? Well, just a little comment before we get started. The other day at work I accidentally bashed my finger with a frozen chicken. Yeah, it sounds like a joke but it actually happened and it did a little damage on my ring finger. Hence, I've edited them a little to take out my boo-boo. Hope you can look beyond the edits and enjoy the design!

V is For...

Surprise everyone! I have another entry for you today. I wanted to finish up my ABC Challenge letter for the month, so I have the letter 'V' for you today.

U is for...

Hey everyone! I'm back (a day late) with another ABC Challenge entry! And this one is semi-Halloween themed.

But first, while I'm talking about the letter 'U', This morning I went to the grand opening of an Ulta store! The store is in a very tempting location for me: 15 minutes from my house. Literally, it is in the same parking lot as my work. The Grand Opening events were a little intimidating to say the least. Walking into such a crowded and  loud store wrecked havoc on my nerves, but I made it through and even got a *FREE* $5 off coupo just for walking in the door! So I purchased my very first bottle of OPI Nail Envy. I'm so excited to try this stuff out. My nails have been peeling like a mother for the past 6 months and everything I try doesn't seem to do much of anything. So here's hoping this does exactly what everyone says it does. 

Okay... ONTO THE DESIGN!!!

Skeletons!

Have you ever had one of those days where everything you do seems to be wrong? Yeah... that was work today. I guess my mind is working a little slow today. Maybe it's this cold I'm currently fighting. *sniffles* At least I have tomorrow off so that I can recuperate. And I can work on some nail art for you all. XD

Neon Monsters!!!

Another Halloween-related post for you guys today. ;)

Halloween Spiders!

As promised, I have my very first 2013 Halloween design for you! This is my favorite time of the year for nail art. I wait all year for it and I can't believe it's here already. But I'm so excited to share some of the designs I've been planning all year to do. So let's get the season started with some icky spiders!

T is For...

HEELLLOOO everybody! Here I am with another surprise update. :)  Aren't you excited? And with today being the last day of September I thought I'd squeeze in my last ABC Challenge letter for the month. So here we have the letter 'T'!

Summer Water Marble...

I bet you thought I wouldn't post today. XD Well, I finally got off my lazy butt and posted on a Thursday! Yay!!!!

S is For...

I already have a post for you! I've spent the last 2 hours editing all the photos I have saved on my laptop from the past few weeks.. so I have a TON to show you. But for now, let me continue my ABC Challenge.

I'm Back!

Uhg. I can't even tell you how embarrassed I am. Has it really been 3 weeks since my last update!? Wow, I've fallen way behind here. And I'm really, REALLY sorry. I can barely keep my head up. I'm ashamed ofmyself.

What have I been up to? Let me tell you...

• Work has been taking up a lot of my time. I'm still trying to find a balance between my nail art and working... but I think I've finally got it under control.
• I've been a little under the weather. Yeah, I caught that summer stomach flu everyone has been trying to avoid. That's what I get for working with the public, I guess. I'm still a little... icky, but feeling SO much better than a few days ago.
• Like the spazz I am, I spilled a glass of water almost directly into my laptop keyboard. >_< I left it to dry for a few days, hoping that it will dry out by itself and not leave me with any problems. But I was wrong. Now half the keys don't work, I get random white screens, and the battery no longer works. So right now I'm typing on a external keyboard plugged into my laptop with a USB. So I've come to the conclusion that I need to put this boy down to pasture. A new computer is in my future, but probably not for a month. I need to save some money and find a good deal! Any good computer websites you can point me towards?

With my list of excuses before you, I'm here to say that I am back! My favorite nail art season (October through December) is nearly here and I have a bunch of ideas I want to show you. ^_^  Plus, I have at least 5 designs from the past weeks that I really want to show you. So expect a huge surge of posts here. And please forgive me! LOL

R is For...

Working 7 days in a row can really make you blank out. I didn't realize until really early this morning that I forgot to post here yesterday! Yikes. Is that really 2 ABC Challenge posts in a row that I've done this? Sorry everyone!

Mani for my first day of work!

Hey everyone! What a week I've had. Getting adjusted at my new job, learning the ropes, and working hard sure has made me tired. But I'm having fun and enjoying myself so that's all that matters, right?

Q is For...

Sorry guys. Yesterday completely ran away from me. It wasn't until I woke up this morning that realized I forgot to post! Complete bonehead move on my part. Sorry! But at least I have another installation of my ABC challenge for you all. ^_^

Pink and Gold Studs

Today, I have a special manicure to share with you. :) It's the manicure I was wearing when I was offered my job a few weeks ago. Plus, it's my first mani with my new nail obsession: metallic studs. Unfortunately, I used all the studs I have on this design! So I'm out until I receive my new ones in the mail. And they're taking their sweet time getting here, lol.
