Royal Filigree

I honestly thought painting my nails would help me de-stress and get the worries of my bathroom being flooded out of my mind.  Because my bathroom was flooded.  It's an amazing story that I'd rather not tell.

But at least these nails make me feel fancy.

For this manicure:

• Base Coat - Base Coat by Finger Paints
• Base Color - Mary Lee by Julep
• Stamped Color - Good as Gold by essie
• Top Coat - Top Coat by Out the Door
• Stamped Image - SH 211

Approximate Completion Time: 1.5 hours

My bathroom is not flooded anymore, in case you were still wondering.

Thanks for reading!  I hope you have a wonderful day :)

Dark and Granite

Hello again, friends!  It's been a week since the year has started and I think I've been doing a pretty good job with my resolutions.  Granted, I haven't been practicing writing with my left hand every day, but I'm at that point now where I can write linear capital letters decently and not cringe (my A's used to look like sad mounds that needed hugs).

I'm going back to school soon (yay...), so this will be my last manicure at home before I leave.  Which is both exciting and scary because all my nail polishes are back at school but so are all of my academic nightmares.

I will tell you about this manicure after the jump! :)

Silver Dots on Matted Plum

Hello friends, new and old!  Welcome to my first post of ever.  Additionally, welcome to this new year :) if you haven't made any New Year's resolutions, now would be the time to do so!

I have made three resolutions this year:
1. To run this blog and incorporate it into my life
2. To write more with my left hand (so that I become ambidextrous)
3. To make a fruit smoothie a day!

And hopefully I can keep all three resolutions.  I used to be the type to make like 10 resolutions a year and keep none of them, so I'm only making 3 resolutions this year in the hopes that I keep all of them!  Anyways, onto the nails that I have painted:

My nails are simple, just like my resolutions :) I will tell you more about them after the jump!
