leopard and zebra

was bored watching tv so i did this last night before playing some c.o.d. it didnt last long. if you read my last post, you know why (broken nails, changing tires...). after today they were chipped and ugh so i took it off. sorry for lack of pictures. i took them today after they were all used and abused.

fox racing and beetlejuice

i have to start by saying that i havent been update much because somehow, my google password was changed. someone hacked my account and changed my password. i have a pretty good idea of who it was but after a couple setting changes (that the hacker didnt get to) my password is no longer able to be changed w/o me getting a text first. and like on facebook, anytime a creeper tries to log on from an unknown location, i also get a text. NOW ANYWAYS....

i can't remember where i saw beetlejuice nails at originally but i had a picture of them saved to my computer....but i tried to copy them and it didn't turn out very well. i didnt have the right color green for his hair (guess i need to head to the craft store and get more paint colors!) so instead of looking like beetlejuice, he looks like the joker from batman. LOL. well at least i tried! but of course, as always, started with a blank (white) canvas. i sponged my pointer and pinky and painted on a bat and beetles. inspiration pics below.

after i wore beetlejuice for a day, he started chipping (i'm outta seche and need a sally's run!!!!!) so i got annoyed and took it off. i found a fox racing nail design on my pinterest feed and wanted to try it. although i'm not really into the fox racing scene, i still wanted to try it. i'm not a poser like everyone else around where i live. 

i used the ziploc bag technique. ya know, then one where you put randomly placed dots on your nails and the smoosh them all together with the ziploc bag? yea, i was trying something new. got a buncha other techniques that i want to try out as well. but the end result from the baggie is kind of like a pink and gray cammo-ish thing. 

inspiration came from this lovely lady's blog

my thumb isnt anything special. i am out of nail glue so i didnt want to put rhinestones on. instead i just threw on some pink penguin glitter (seen here) and called it a night. 

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.^^
