Pink Bubbles

  Here is a fun stamping manicure I wore earlier this summer.  Got a lot of great comments on this one, as it was my manicure during my short (but still way too long) hospital stay in June.  All of my nurses loved it!

  Started off with two coats of China Glaze Dance Baby, with houndstooth pattern in Nicole by OPI All Kendall-ed Up using plate m63, and the circles in Konad Special White using plate m85.  I love the depth the houndstooth pattern in a slightly darker color gives this, even from far away.  Happy Pink Wednesday! :)

Stars and Stripes Forever

  I may not be able to wear nail polish to work... but that doesn't stop me from painting my nails for a favorite holiday on my part day off!  I wanted to do something fairly quick and easy (since I only get to wear it for one day) but also fun and festive.

Outdoors, direct sun

    For these nails, I used two coats of either OPI An Affair in Red Square or OPI Into the Night as the base colors.  I then did stamping with Konad Special White and plates m82 (stars) and RA-106 (stripes).  A quick and festive mani!  Love how this one turned out!

Outdoors, shade

  Hope all of my American readers have a very Happy Independence Day!  And to all of the rest of you... hope you have a fabulous 4th of July.  ;)

Happy Birthday To Me....

  My 26th birthday was a couple of weeks ago, and I did this fun brightly colored water marble for the event.

Outdoors, sunlight

  I started off with a base coat of OPI Pink Friday, and then marbled with OPI Funky Donkey, OPI Fly, and Nicole by OPI All Kendall-ed Up.  I added the tips using Konad Special White and plate BM17.  Of course I had to top it off with some China Glaze Fairy Dust.  These nails were perfect for my birthday, since these are some of my very favorite colors!

Outdoors, shade

Back up and running....

  Hello everyone!  I know it has been over a month since I posted here - time has really gotten away from me a bit the last two months or so.  I just wanted to let you know that I am hoping to get things going on here again, although for awhile it is going to be in a bit slower on posting.  I have recently transitioned from working in the lab back to the clinical years of medical school!  While this is really exciting and has been a lot of fun, it is also a lot of work and pretty much takes up the majority of my free time.  Additionally, I am starting off in the surgery rotation, in which nail polish is not permitted.  So... especially for the next couple of months I am not going to have a lot of time for nails.  I will continue to do some swatching and a few designs here and there on weekends, and I have some greats things saved up!  But for awhile I will most likely be cutting down to 2-3 posts a week and we'll see how that goes.  I am going to try to get the posts for the week planned out the weekend before.  I am really hopeful that I will be able to continue this blog while in medical school, as I really love doing it.  For now we'll take it a week at a time!  Thanks so much for all of you who continue to check the blog and I hope you keep coming back for more!  Expect new nail posts again starting Monday!  Hope you are all having a great summer!
