"On Wednesdays, we wear pink!"

Hello all!  I hope you're all enjoying your Wednesdays, because it's officially the 10-year anniversary of Mean Girls!  And guess what.  It's on a Wednesday.  Y'all better be wearing them pinks or else we'll have to reconsider our friendship (only slightly kidding...)

So I took that as an excuse to paint my nails all pink and stuff :)


I love pink polishes so much!  But I don't ever wear them, so I'm taking this opportunity to wear them loud and proud!

Geometric Negative

Hello again, friends!  I hope you all had a lovely week :) I have one more week of classes left in this semester, which is great!  But it also means finals are soon going to gnash me in between their teeth.  It's a shame I'm indigestible.  I can't be devoured by the trials of the world.

I decided to try something new this time, so I present to you the following:


Negative space on my nails! :O Yeah, I'm stepping out in new waters right now.  These nails were also loosely inspired by one of my friend's hair.  Her hair is dark black with blue streaks, and if you catch it in the perfect light, it's crazy beautiful :) I wish I had hair streaks, but seeing as how I have problems with my hair falling out...maybe it's not worth it.

Spring Skittle

Hi guys!  I hope you're all doing well :)

I will be posting more than once a week for the next few weeks.  Crazy, I know, but I have a certain deadlines for special posts, and I want to meet those deadlines.  It will be a fun times for me and for you!

Without further ado, here is a (rare) shot of my right hand - my dominant hand!


A "skittle", from what I understand, is essentially like a mix-and-match set of nails/colors for a manicure.  I often employ this style in my nail art, but rarely do I ever call it a "skittle".  And speaking of skittles, is anyone else bummed that the green Skittle is now green apple flavored instead of lime?  Yeah, boo, that switch sucks.

Praisin' and Blazin'

Happy Easter, everyone!  And also Happy 420 :) and it's also Hitler's birthday.  Maybe it's your birthday too...?  Anyways, lots of festivities associated with this date and holiday.

I've been doing some searching, and according to this site here, the next time that Easter will land on an April 20th isn't until 2025, so I took advantage of this coincidence now, and I bring you this:



Easter themes and marijuana themes - all rolled into one manicure! :D

OKAY QUICK NOTE:  I do not smoke marijuana, nor do I have plans to.  Whether you do or not is up to you - I keep my hands out of this.

These nails were fun to do - read up more after the jump! :)

Dangling Flowers

Hello all!  I hope you are all doing well :)

My school semester is slowly coming to an end...which is great, because after that I get to go home and see my family and come back to do research, but also not great because it also means finals are coming up and I'm not ready for that commitment.  That said, my motivation to do things is also lacking.  That can't be good.

Anyways, here are my nails:


They're very loosely inspired by some flowers I found outside of the chemistry building at my school.  The building has terrible memories of organic chemistry, but at least the flowers look nice.  This is what they look like:

Nail Snap: Nautical Nails

I'll be out on the ocean starting tomorrow, sailing toward a wonderful little island that isn't Hawai'i.  I painted my nails to kinda match the theme of my life for such an adventure :)

Additionally, keep in mind that any inquiries will have to be put on hold until I come back!



Not exactly a true nautical nails, but I'm pretty sure I got the colors right.

For this manicure:

Nail polishes used:

  • Base Coat - Base Coat by Finger Paints
  • Colors Used - Nan by Julep, Char by Julep, and Snow Me White by Sinful Colors
  • Top Coat - Double Duty Strengthening Base & Top Coat by Sally Hansen

Hopefully I stay afloat while I sail on the lovelies of schooners.  I hope you all have a wonderful day! :)
