sharpie snowflakes

so i tried the sharpie mani that was going all around pinterest. my verdict: STICK WITH PAINT. it smeared when i put clear coat on it, even after following the tips online (waiting a while for the marker to dry, spraying it with hairspray to set it ((whick idk why i thought that would work considering there is alcohol in hair spray...))) but hey, i tried!

let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

snowflakes and snowmen. i love winter almost as much as i love fall. its hard to tell, but i started with a blue base and dabbed on gray with seran wrap. 

winter (so far)

took a break from finals to do my nails. actually, i didnt need an excuse to put off my finals

ugly christmas sweater nails. yep, the lines arent straight and idc

snowmen!!! the blue glitter has snow flakes in it. it is also from KB Shimmer. i super heart it. 

this one is poop. i did it really fast (10 minutes) to go to a birthday party since i couldnt leave the house with naked nails. 

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
