more designs

this is what i have been up to lately.....i got some more new juleps too. YAY! im not sure if i have them posted in the order that i have done them. i guess that is my punishment for not updating on a regular basis (when i do each design). i DO know that i haven't taken the snowflakes off my toes. but lately i was taking the lazy way out....using nail shields that are "supposed" to stay on for 10 days (but only last 2), plain glitter, tattoos.....then again, ive been busy busy transferring schools, bmd (again), and more personal stuff that i can't mention due to creepers so sorry peepers!


anyways, recently i saw this nail stamper at the dollar store and bought it. i haven't tried it yet. i wish it came with stamping polish!!!! i tried to find a picture of all the plates but i gave up the search online so if i remember, i will takes pics with my camera.



snowflakes and swirls




okay the little beads didnt stay on that long. a couple hours before i picked them off and put glitter on instead. 






again i am easily amused and my polish peeled off perfectly


plain jane. i wanted to use a new color santa brought me. it was one of the new juleps and it has a kind of jelly like finish. 



actually, the stars are body tattoos that me niece got me. 


my pointer was supposed to say queen of rock but i put them on wrong and instead it ended up saying rock of queen.....again, duh me




current design. i was looking online at pink designs and my stepson picked the pink fade zebra. and he was intrigued with everything in my nail arsenal. he wanted to see what i used the straws for so i showed him. it was a collaborative design.

final christmas designs and new julep!

thankfully, after much bmd, the holiday is finally over. yep, our christmas was almost ruined by someone but we suspected that was going to happen and knew it would due to selfishness. we were excited this christmas because it was the first time in SEVEN years that my husband was "allowed" to have his child christmas morning. SEVEN YEARS!!!! but that is not for this blog.
 BUT anyways, santa came, gifts were opened, wine was drank, bellies were bloated. time to catch up on sleep, paper work, blogs, workouts, and housework. 

also SO VERY EXCITED that is is currently snowing and has been snowing all day!!! I LOVE IT and i hope it stays and snows a whole helluva lot more!

OH! santa brought me 6 new juleps too! YAY!!!! i have been patiently waiting for a month to use my delaunay polish since i ran out and i used that polish for practically all of my designs on red polish. it is my FAV red polish ever!!!




inspiration (pictured below) came from a skull i put outside for christmas and a picture i found on pinterest



elf, tree, santa, candy cane, snowflakes

holy crapola!

holy moly it has been forever since i have been on here. sorry creepers and peepers! havent been up to much of anything. finals are finally done and over for this semester. guess who got another 4.0 this semester.....YAY me! anyways, one would think that with so much free time on my hands during break that i woulda been pumping out nail designs left and right. well, wrong. i have only painted my nails probably 4 times so far this month.....im not too motivated. ive been sick which today is my last day of meds. ive been cleaning like crazy and wrapping gifts and making cookies and baby mama drama so i will wait to paint them until saturday when all the christmas parties start.

so here is what i have been up two with my last 2 designs....




this was a tape tuesday design









^^christmas cuppies^^


^^i had to take a picture of this. the nail polish peeled off and looked like the nail shields. i coulda put clear on my nails and stuck them back on! okay im easily amused.^^

let the ugly color combos begin!

alright...here we go with some christmas nail art. bah humbug! i'm not a red and green color combo fan. those colors are down right awful together! should be red and black. but i'm not a christmas fan.....actually im not a winter holiday fan at all, unless it's st. patty's day!!! i'd much rather it be halloween every day

enough ranting...

hubby's military christmas party was this past weekend. i ordered a dress off amazon and did my nails to match the dress. it was white with black polka dots on the top, red in the middle with a big red flower, and black with white polka dots on the bottom. very pinup looking. and very much my style since it was red, black, and white. i HAD to have this dress so i measured myself and bought it based off my measurements. it came in the mail the next day and was HUGE :( but i did my nails and didn't have time to redo them after the dress came. searched through my closet and only one dress in it fit me. guess i need to go shopping.......ANYWAYS, here are my fingers and toes. my toes are still wearing the same design




apparently i didn't save the inspiration for this design. dang it.....




my hubby's truck is broken down (after dropping over $800 into it) so his friend was here to take a gander at it. he brought his lady friend, jen, with him and she wanted her fingers done. so here are her christmas tree nails....i realized that after she picked a design that i had saved on my computer that i do not have and basic green nail polish. it is either bright green or "zombie" green...guess i need to head to the store!!!



***INSPIRATION*** 



i took inspiration below from a blog that i follow called purple castle. however they look different now. i started them last night and finished them this evening. the snowflakes now have blue glitter in the middle and small snowflakes around them. i changed mine a little so they werent carbon copies



the blue before i finished the left hand tonight. 


and i know my cuticles look horrible! i got into a fight with my husky. well not really a fight and i guess i deserved it because i was trying to remove a shirt that i put on her and she didn't want anything to do with it so she bit the crap outta me and ripped off cuticles. THANKS LOKI
