Christmas Past

Every year I do Christmas nails. I plan on painting again soon, but for now I have these nails from a two years ago. It's Christmas movie themed! Have you seen these classics?

The first photo has Rudolf, the Abominable Snowman (from Rudolf), the Grinch, and the Charlie Brown Christmas Tree. The thumb photo is a scene from the Nightmare Before Christmas. 

Penguins and Snowflakes

Hooray for procrastination! My motivation to do work right now is sloping downward due to a few factors. For one, I just had an awesome Thanksgiving break from classes. I finally got to go home for a week and saw my family and friends. Second off, the semester is coming to an end. I've worked hard for the past few months and I just want to be done with this semester.

Since I feel like doing nothing and I just got back to school, I painted my nails! It was colder than usual when I arrived back here so I decided it is now appropriate to paint winter theme nails. I've got snowflakes, penguins and glitter! 

Hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving and enjoy the holiday season! :)

Golden Stars

I was at the store and HAD TO get this sheer gold color. It's so pretty! The sheer color is by Essie and is called "As Gold as it Gets". I love it! I layered it over "Innocent Nude" by Sally Hansen. Since I can't handle my nails being one solid color, I had to add stars to it.

Since it has glitter, it looks so much better in person. It has a slight gold shimmer from the top layer.

Off With Their Head!

Halloween is here! For us college kids, this weekend is when all the costume parties are. We celebrate Halloween this weekend, not on the actual day. Or at least my friends and I follow that. I have class very early the next morning.

I'm so excited to get all dressed up! Any occasion that I get to do fun hair and makeup is so exciting! I never do anything to my hair, so when I do it automatically makes my day 10x better. This year I didn't get a chance to paint Halloween nails, but instead I painted my nails to match my costume. I am going to be the Queen of Hearts. I originally wanted to paint each suit in a card deck on each hand (spades, diamonds, clubs and hearts) but I'm short on time. I went with the minimalist approach and I really love it! My definition for "minimalist" regarding nails is a little different from most people's! Ha ha. 

I used "White Tip" by Sally Hansen, "Caliente Coral" by Maybelline, and "Set in Stones" by Essie (My favorite!)

This manicure is so girly and sparkly! I can see this as a good nail design for Valentine's Day, too. Or any time. As an engineering major, I need more girlyness like this in my life. 

Have a safe and happy Halloween! <3

Halloween Nails: Take 1

I'm sad to see that I have not posted anything fancy in a while. Unfortunately, this semester has been keeping me away from having free time. Last week I had 3 exams in 4 days; It was crazy. Thus, no nail painting for me :(

Currently my nails are still naked (sigh) but I have some nail designs from before this blog started! This nail design was from high school around sophomore or junior year, maybe...? Anyways, here it is! 

Not too bad for a high school kid with lots of time. Ha ha. I guess these nails should be "October Nails" rather than strictly Halloween since I had the breast cancer nail on my ring finger. One of the thumb nails turned out failing and I don't know what happened to the one next to the M&M nail. It was probably a fail nail, too. 

Get excited for Halloween! Yay! Just 2 more weeks!

Cinderella Shatter

Lately I haven't had time to paint my nails. Super sad face :(

But we had a "girl's night" event for an organization I'm involved in. We painted nails together which gave me an opportunity to do these nails. They're just a simple Cinderella blue with a silver shatter coat on top. It's not as fancy as I'd wish, but it took less time to do than usual. And it's still cute!

Hope you have a lovely day!

Go Hokies!

If you didn't know this about me, I am currently a student in college. I am proud to say that I am studying at Virginia Tech. I LOVE my school and tonight is the first home game of the season! I am so excited for the game tonight! So for the first game of the season, I have my nails dressed for the occasion. I love these nails! YAY hokie pride!

GO HOKIES!

Hope you are enjoying the start of college football season!
