Getting Back Into the Blogging Life

Hey all, every post of mine lately seems like it has been just to say sorry for not posting in a while, and I really miss posting every day on here and I really wish I could get myself back in the habit. Unfortunately, I am working two jobs and going to school full time, so I don't always have time to even paint my nails, let alone post to this blog about it! I have downloaded the blogger app on my phone and I am going to try to at least post a few times a week if not every day.

My posts might not be all nail stuff anymore (might put other beauty stuff or just lifestyle stuff, who knows!), so if you want to unfollow me, I understand completely!

hopefully I won't have to post another post like this for quite awhile! aha :)

Day 30- Recreate Your Favorite Mani

Wow I can't believe that this month (and this challenge) is already over!! It seems like it went by so fast! This mani wasn't based on anything, I was just looking at my stamping plates and I wanted to do something cool! I really like these colors together! Look out for more stamping in the near future ;) 








Colors:
Base Coat- Essie Grow Faster
NYC- Sidewalkers
NYC- Wine Bar
Revlon- 24K
Bundle Monster Stamping Plate BM201
Top Coat- Seche Vite

Day 29- Inspired by a Song

This wasn't so much inspired by a song, more an album cover. I have wanted to do this for a while, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. In case you dont know, this is the album cover for Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. and honestly i'd be surprised if you havent seen it before!





I just wish I had a thinner brush!

Day 28- Inspired by Fashion


this mani was inspired by this Alexander McQueen dress. My thumb hit my camera just as  I was about to start taking pictures, and my camera battery was dying so I didnt want to take the time to fix it :(

to do a glitter fade! I know its similar to the gradient I did yesterday but I really liked the bright fruity colors of this mani! :)
