To a New Year

Hi everyone. I did not forget about this blog :). I've just been preoccupied with life. Yes, life happens. This will not make up for my absence but it will show you that I have not been neglecting my nails (pinky swear). Remember when my nails were this long?

Well like I said, life happens! Family, friends, new jobs, new responsibilities, new nails! Now I normally don't do nail spam on my blog but I've been keeping a few mani photos on hand during my hiatus so here they are. It's mini spam but hey, at least it's something :D. Looks like it was back to basics, guys...

A Summer Gradient

I know this isn't the weekend but I am going to make this a lazy post because 1. I can (bahahaha) and 2. I spent quite a bit of time writing another post. The contents of which are detailed here and also in the new "Nail Care" tab up top. I've gotten lots of questions regarding nail care and figured it was time to write a little something something about it. I hope it helps you girls! But I digress, continuing on with this post...

This was three coats of Essie A Crewed Interest for the base and a gold gradient using Color Club Enchanted Holiday (a mini). This made me look really tan. I love it. Summer time, here I come!

A Sinfully Green Glitter Gradient

Hi again! For all you lovers of green, I have something that I think you'll like. Today we have a sinful mani -- as in a mani using Sinful Colors brand nail polish! My base color was San Francisco and my glitter gradient was done using Nail Junkie. San Francisco was pretty sheer so it took about 4 coats for proper color build up. It's an extremely pretty and rich shimmery green though! Check it out y'all! Click to enlarge zee details =)

So greeeeeeen!

Goodness, it was so hard to capture this mani on camera!  I discovered that after taking a bunch of pics outside, my bathroom lighting was what showed off the colors the best lol. Who knew, ehh? And of course I could not feature this mani without telling you guys that this week at Walgreens, all Sinful Colors Nail Polishes are only $0.99! Go out and stock up people! Here's to a good beginning of the week everyone! Till next time...
