Seven Deadly Sins - Day 2: Gluttony

This past week has been crazy busy for me and I haven't been able to do as much nail art as I'd like - hopefully I'll be able to make up for that this weekend! 

So, for today, I have something fun and different than my normal manis. I am progressing with the Seven Deadly Sins Challenge that I started last week with a bunch of fabulous nail art ladies. This week's theme is Gluttony and I chose to go with the following challenge phrase: 

Skip your diet and paint something that makes your stomach growl!

Well, nothing makes my stomach growl more than DONUTS. Yes, they are in fact my favorite and if they are around I have zero self control and can't say no to them. I am definitely a glutton when it comes to them so I figured it was fitting to paint them for today! 

I love them so much that I couldn't even wait to take a bite out of them ;) 

Make me feel better...please tell me someone else out there has as little restraint when it comes to food as I do! ;)

February Nail Art Challenge!

Because I want to be even busier with nail art, I'm going to attempt this month's nail art challenge! This one gives you a few days to complete each theme and because I really like a majority of these themes, I'm going to try and keep up with this one! I'm excited to get started with it!

P.S. I got some new polishes and I'm so incredibly excited to get something going with them. Any you'd like me to swatch/try first?!?

My new Lime Crimes!

My new Cameo Colours Lacquers!

31 Day Nail Challenge

Okay, so I used to have this challenge listed in my tabs, but I completely failed at ever doing anything off of this challenge list. I've decided to go for it again, though instead of completing one mani a day, I'm probably going to take my good sweet time completing these. Anyway, here is the challenge list!

33 Ways to Stay Creative.

I recently came across this list and I love all of these! I just started carrying a Levenger notebook that my Mom got me for my graduation and I must say that it has made things easier. I'm trying to write down any random thought I tell myself I'll remember because I inevitably always forget it. I've also stated jotting down nail design ideas if something strikes me. It's minimizing a little bit of stress for me and that's all I can ask for! 

Numbers I'm currently doing? 2, 8, 9, 11 (I have been obsessively listening to Macklemore's new album lately...), 12 (I think I'm generally a pretty open person), 21, 25 (I'm making a solid attempt with this blog), 30, 32 (well, I try!). The rest, well those I've got to work on! But I figure I've got some time to do that and I really want to work towards achieving most of these things :)

The gal behind the nails.

Alright, I'll preface this with an apology! This string of posts will be a bit more personal but interspersed with nail posts. If you're here solely for nails, bear with me! The lovely Ashley over at Cup of Ash Tea turned me onto this challenge and I really want to give it a go. It may very well take me all year to get through it though ;)
