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!

Tribal Print

For me, classes start on Monday. The beginning of this semester is bittersweet for me. I had a great summer but I feel like I need to challenge myself again. Also, I'm looking forward to a fresh start.
As my summer comes to an end, I painted one of my favorite summer trends: tribal print. I love that the patterns are bold and funky. Since I didn't use multiple colors, I made each nail design different.

I used "Sunset Sail" by China Glaze for the base color and "Black Out" by Sally Hansen.


Hope you had a great summer and good luck to all of those going back to school this year!

Nautical Toes

I usually only paint a solid color on my toes because I don't like a lot of attention to my feet. Feet are weird. ALL feet are weird. Also, it's harder to paint.
But this time, I painted a little bit of detail. It's summer and I'm obsessed with all things nautical so I had to do beachy things on my nails. So here are stripes, an anchor and a palm tree.

Like my tan line that's there even in the winter? :(



Have a wonderful, sunshiny day!

Baby Cheetah

"Baby" cheetah? Yes, baby cheetah.
At the National Zoo there are two baby cheetahs that were born this year and are finally on display. I'm hoping to be able to see them while they're little because their pictures are very cute! Thus, here are my cheetah nails:
