Stains and Sparkles

Remember how much I loved WnW Teal of Fortune?  Well, I wasn’t loving it so much after I removed it! YIKES!! I have never had staining like that before.  Granted, I forgot to use a basecoat because I quickly painted my nails before leaving to go out, but jeeez.. I’m going to have to scrub my nails with some kind …

Daily Shoot-Inspiration for Photographers

A while back some friends and I were chatting online about doing Project 365, which is a project where you take one photo a day for a year.  Something I’ve tried previously (a self-portrait version) and failed miserably, but am doing much better with now that I’m doing the ‘random photo’ version. During this online conversation, a friend brought up …

My Metro Nails

The other day I saw this post over on Colores de Carol about a newspaper manicure. I kept that tab open for days because I wanted to do it and knew if I closed the window I’d forget! I had just gotten the same polish she used (Catrice Snow Motion) not that long ago so I knew I had everything …

The babies were adorable and it was really …

I chose WnW Wild Card and thought it would …

Butterfly Wing

I saw something I LOVED yesterday when I was looking through some blogs.  I found a random post on Kronicles of a Konad-er with a design for butterfly wings that she initially found on Lacquerized.  I was immediately in love!  I thought I’d try it someday when I have more nail art paint and when my nails are a bit …
