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!

Nautical redux!

Happy first day of Summer everyone! Today is the longest day of the year here in the northern hemisphere and I thought I'd celebrate it with another post! You're welcome. ;)

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 Colors Skittle...

I know it's been a little while since I updated. I'm sorry for that. Work's picked up since it's Spring Break, people are taking time off, and its just been a generally busy week. But What with tomorrow being EASTER I thought I'd jump on here and share a design with you!

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.

Lace and Roses...

I finally have some nail art from this year to share with you! XD Yay!

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?!

Neon Monsters!!!

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

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. ^_^

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. ^_^

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...

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". 

American Flag for the 4th of July!

I've been a bad blogger. A full week without a post? Shame on me. And to be honest, I don't even have a good excuse. With nothing to say, and the heat really knocking out any want to paint my nails, I've just been neglecting my blog and DA page. So let me just say I'm sorry for the lack of writing this week. Sorry!

 The past few weeks I've been on a red kick. I don't even know why, either. Something about red, with lots of red glitter, has really been tickling my fancy. And with the 4th of July right around the corner, I really, REALLY wanted to pull out my red, white and blue polishes. So I did!

Dress Inspiration: Teal and B&W Stripes

Today's post was inspired by a dress I got from Target. I love LOVE this tank dress. Everything about it I love: the color, design, fit, pattern... everything. So, naturally, I was inspired to recreate it on my nails!
