Disney's Peter Pan and Tinkerbell!

Disney fan alert! Went on a trip to Disneyland a few weeks ago and decided to do a look inspired by one of my all-time favorite Disney movies, Peter Pan.

Now, before I go on, I have to give a huge shout out to IHaveACupcake as her Peter Pan video is the inspiration for this look. And when I say 'inspiration', I really mean that I duplicated her look on one of my hands, then too Cupcake's style and painted Tink on  the other!

Sunset Spiderwebs...

I know it's only mid-August... but I'm eager for the Halloween season. Maybe it's that kids are already back to school or that I just really want it not to be hot anymore. But I've been breaking into my Halloween plates recently. I've been holding myself back, only using images that suggest Halloween and doesn't scream the spooky season. So I opted for spiders and webs.

Yes, I did do the same look twice in a row. I couldn't help it. I love this SO much! And it appeared that many other people did too. I got stopped at work multiple times a day, which was really nice. And while at the service desk at work I helped Lisa Ann Walter (from the 1998 Parent Trap) and she pointed out my nails and said she liked them. XD As a Disney fan I geeked out a little... but only on the inside.

Just out of curiosity, which one do you like better? I think I'm gravitating towards the bottom one. I love the bright yellow at the tips, but I like how dark the top one starts at the cuticle. I just can't decide!

Dorothy Gale, from Kansas...

If you've been following me for a while, you might have realized by now that I am a nostalgic person. I love looking back and reminiscing about the 'good old days'. But doesn't everyone? And this is why there is a huge fad going around, and has been for a while, called Throwback Thursday (#TBT). I'm a little late on the bandwagon, but I was looking through old family photos looking for some stuff to share and I found this:

 Now, I'm not one to brag, but wasn't I adorable? I'm a little over 5 years old here. I remember living in this Halloween costume. This was 1992, when you couldn't just go out and buy costumes. This was hand-made by my mom, who herself is a huge Judy Garland fan. She made everything from the dress down to the ruby slippers. We still have it tucked away in the garage somewhere...

Where am I going with this, you may ask? When I saw this pictures I knew I had to do a Dorothy Gale inspired nail design!

Easter Water Marble...

Hello, nail painters! How have you all been? How was your Easter weekend? Mine was pretty good. Got to spend some time with the family, both at work and at home, and ate wayyy too much candy. Bu that's what we do on holidays where we literally search the ground for hidden plastic eggs with sugary candy inside. And I have to admit that I love it so much!

Today, I'm gonna share the design I wore on Easter, to my families get-together. ;)

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!!!

 I hope you all remembered to wear green today! ;)

Nude Roses...

Something a little scandalous this week. I have some... NUDES!

Nick na nick nick na nick nick nick... NICKELODEON!

I let my twin sister pick out a nail polish for me to use today. And what did she give me? I'm With The Lifeguard by China Glaze. Wow, what a bright green! I knew she'd throw a curve ball at me, she's silly that way, so I went with the punches and decided to do a design inspired by Nickelodeon!

When I was a kid, I loved this channel! It was literally the only station I watched on the weekends when I was elementary school. Rugrats, All That, Clarissa Explains It All, Are You Afraid Of The Dark?, Hey Arnold, Snick... Those were the days, huh? I could go on forever listing my favorite shows.

Valentine's Day: Glitter, Gradient and Stamping, oh my!

I'm stuck in "Valentine's Day" mode, you guys. I'm really gravitating towards the pinks, reds, and glitters. But I guess that isn't really out of the norm for me, lol.

Valentine's Day Glitter Mani featuring Spellbound Nails!

Okay everyone. I have a first of mine to share with you all today. I finally bit the bullet and purchased my very first set of indie brand polishes. It only took me, oh, over 2 years. But I wanted to wait until I found a set that I really, really liked and felt was worth the high price tag. And then I found Spellbound Nails new Valentines Day Victorian Romance Collection. I'm a sucker for pink, red, glitter, and holo polishes and this set has it all! So without further ado, here is my current look.

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!

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

Watermelon Nails!

Hey everyone! I hope you're having a fantastic Thrusday! Mine is going pretty well. I have nothing to complain about which is always a good thing in my opinion. Plus, I have some good news. I got a job yesterday! ^_^ I am so excited to get to work and make some money so I can buy more nail polish! So in case I disappear from time to time, I will be back. I just need to get into the groove of juggling work with my free time and nail art. Thanks for your patience.

With all that said, I'm working on setting up a posting schedule. I'm planning on at least posting one day a week, more depending on my workload and whether or not I have something awesome to show you. Any ideas on what day(s) of the week would be best? Should I stick with posting on Thursdays or should I do something like "Mani Mondays"? Slap a comment on this post giving me your ideas.

Anyways, lets get onto the design, shall we? ;)

My 4th of July Nails...

Happy Independence Day, my fellow Americans! 

I know, I know. My last few posts have been nothing but red, white and blue nails... and I promise to put down the patriotic polishes and step away, lol. I've been giving you a lot of the same sort of designs recently, and I apologize for that. I've been stuck in a very comfortable groove with those colors and I'm sure you'r all getting tired of it by now. I'm sorry! New stuff coming this month, I promise, including 3 installations of my ABC Challenge. I hope you're looking forwards to that just as much as I am!

So! Onto the nails...
