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.

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?

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!!!

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'!

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.

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!

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. ^_^

P is For...

Posting a few days early to squeeze in my last letter for July. XD I can't believe July is already practically over. Where the heck did the time go?! I know I keep saying that... but it's true!

O is for...

Feeling a little bit yucky today so I think I'll make this a relatively quick post. Is that alright with you guys? I have another installment of my ABC Challenge for you. ^_^

N is for...

Another installation of my ABC Challenge here for you! One of my three letter for this month... DONE! I'm officially over half way done with my quest. Feels good to have half the alphabet under my belt... but the tough letters are still to come. I still have no idea what I'm going to do for Q, X, Y, and Z, lol. But those letters are still a while off.

L is For...

Uhg. It's not very fun to paint your nails during a heat wave. For some reason, when it's over 90 degree heat the last thing I want to do is sit in my room and paint my nails. I get so hot and sticky... and the paint takes forever to dry. But I did it for you anyways! I really want to keep on top of this challenge and not fall behind. So here you have the letter "L".

M is For...

You may have noticed that I skipped a letter. I have a perfectly good reason for this, I assure you. I have a lot going on this month (events and even a trip!) and my letters for this month go perfectly with what I wanted to paint on my nails. My only problem was that the "M" event is happening before the "L" trip. So I decided to make this one exception and switch the letters. :)

K is For...

I lost all internet, TV and phone this weekend because of an AT&T outage. Yikes, It's disconcerting how much I rely on those every day. But with some extra time on my hands, I decided to do another installment on my ABC Challenge!

ABC Challenge Recap...

 Okay, okay. I decided to do a little recap you all on my ABC Challenge. I know some of you aren't following me on DeviantART, so you may not know what the heck I'm talking about or why it's taking me so long to get it done with. But let me explain!

One of my new years resolutions was to do more nail art. In an attempt to keep me going and inspired, I decided to take on a challenge. Thus, I opted for the ABC Challenge: one manicure for each letter of the alphabet in alphabetical order. I didn't want to rush through it so I decided to take it slow; around 2-3 letters a month. Plus, I'm determined to keep my letters interesting.

And there you go! The following are the manicures I've completed from January to April. I'll be linking them to their DA pages, so if you're interested in anything in particular, just click on the image to be jumped to it's page. :)

J is For...

WAAAYY back in January I started an ABC challenge on my DeviantART page. I've been on schedule (yes, I'm intentionally going this slow), doing 2-3 designs a month while working through the alphabet. I decided to start posting the updates of that series/challege here as well! Let me know if you want me to post A-I on here as well. You know, because all the letters have to represent. XD
