rainbows!!!

so last week at work we were talking about rainbows in my classroom with my kids since it has been raining so of course i had to do rainbow something on my nails. this isnt the design that i originally wanted to do but it was getting late and it was quick. they are a little chipped because i took a picture of them the day after instead of right after they were one but oh well

(notice my short pointer nail ):

ahoy matey!

hubby came home on the 6th. we had a cook out and bonfire an since the 4th of july nails didnt last as long as i wanted, i did these. i really need to invest in some brown paint when i get some money. 

4th of july

well i did these for the 4th of july. i didnt do anything since hubby was not here but go to a picnic at my paps and go see fireworks with the inlaws. the base of these was the gel polish and i used the gel top coat to cook it so it would stay longer but yeah, it lasted as long as a typical mani does on my nails. i used the gel also because my pointer nail was cracked on the side and i was trying to get it to last and not have to rip it off. yeah, that didnt work. 

not many pictures

 so i am still trying to get this updated. ugh. trying to pull links from my pinterest. btw i HATE the new pinterest. takes forever to load. it stinks so heck with it.

i cant remember when i did these. it was awhile ago. my friend came over and wanted her nails done. hubby was gone for the 3 weeks so we were having a girls' vent session/night. the "scratch" and skull design was on my nails. tutorial below

i of course changed the colors on the one that i did. the color combo one in the picture above did not strike my fancy. the color scheme reminds me of those stupid monster energy drink stickers that "cool" kids think are cool to put on everything they own. <~ can someone please explain that fad to me?

 scratch tutorial

these were my friends nails. she picked a design she saw online but it was blue instead of pink. she liked the matte finish of the bright pink so after a coat of seche there was a coat of matte. i think she is the only person that is more obsessed with zebra print than i am.....maybe

what the poo man?!

holy poop i haven't updated in a loooooooooong time.  if you want to be more updated follow me on instagram @stephiepoo213 because all my recent stuff is on there. i am working on updating this blog but , of course, my wifi is being dumb on my phone so i cant transfer the pictures over from my phone to my laptop :/

anyways, sorry for not updating. a lot has been going on. hubby is home from his military stuff (YAAAAAY) and i got a new job working with some super great kids (YAAAAAAAY). <~ so i have been totally consumed with lesson plans....so much so that i havent touched school work in awhile or played any COD :o(

its so shiny im gonna die!

okay, i did the first one to match i a skirt that i was going to wear for my friend's 21st bday party but right before i left the house, i decided to change my outfit therefor having to change my nails. 

i scored these chromed out nail hickies at ulta when i was there last. it came with hickies for finger nails and toe nails. best part, they were on sale! ($2.99) i like this brand better than the sally hansen brand BY FAR. they stayed on longer, which out having to put nail glue or polish around the edges. and, unlike the sally hansen version, they are thicker and not in those stupid little air tight containers that once you open, you are screwed if you dont use all of them right away. (in case you are wondering, i have ones that i havent used and not they do not stick, at all, to my nails. so more than half of them from a package are wasted. if anyone knows how to get them to stick again, PLEASE let me know because i dont want to throw them all away.)

the red is my favorite red that i always use from julep. i would probably marry it if i could!

the black is the leather finish from sephora. there was a biker rally in town this past weekend so yeah, the leather was perfect. 

feeling fruity!

strawberries and cherries!

im not that much of a fan of the strawberry ones. my green was all nasty and not the right color. 

you can tell what i was doing when i took the pictures....yep. kicking some noob butt on COD.

these got messed up. only lasted for about a day. i did a photo shoot in water and they got all chipped climbing over rocks and such. and of course, the top coat smeared since i didnt wait long enough for the red to dry. it was an out the door jobie that i did to match the colors i was wearing for the shoot.

this design is on my nails now, but coming off as soon as i am done updating.
