Weekly Manicure

Hey I'm actually getting this posted on Monday morning! WOW!

I'm kind of enjoying this one. The camouflage was a lot easier than I expected it to be. We're going camping this week for a couple nights so I definitely wanted something that wasn't going to show dirt and crap.

This week there may be a mid-week change. Not only because my polish tends to chip when I'm doing wildery things like camping, but also because we're in for some fun stuff later in the week. :)

Weekly Manicure

This was done yesterday, but I didn't get a chance to put up the pic until this morning. In typical Typhoid fashion, my nails are matching a theme...

And this week's theme is the All Star Game!!! Man I love baseball. Hence the baseballs on my ring fingers. And the leagues (in their jersey colors) on the middles.

We're off to watch the game with my wife tonight (my bestie who is now referred to as my wife for many odd reasons I cannot go into right now). And I'm already thinking on next week's manicure. Which may require a mid-week polish change... we'll see.

Weekly Manicure

A day late because it was slightly complicated. But well worth it as I was asked to show them off at lunch AND two complete strangers at Starbucks noticed them. (Take that Chip... and you mock my manicure posts.)

BTW, Chip is the pastor I work with and he mocked me earlier today and said, "Did you post them on your blog yet???" in mock excitement. All my closest friends are kinda jerks. That's why I love them. :)

Off to a BBQ tonight. No plans yet tomorrow. We shall see what happens...

Weekly Manicure

Themed this week... but only if you know my team colors.

Hard to tell, but they're orange. And the ring fingers are white with black and orange splatters. :) Because we're off to a Giants game today!

There may be a polish change midweek this week. For funsies. What else will I do with my summer?

Weekly Manicure

So I have to laugh at myself. Here's the process I went through this week...

• Sunday: apply what I thought would be the base coat. Change my mind when I think about what I want to wear to a party this week.
• Monday: remove basecoat. But several new polishes. Use none. Settle on some to use. Do my nails. Hate the tape-stripe method I found so I remove the tape. Add a stripe. Add glitter. Hate it. Remove everything except the ring finger at 11:00 PM or so. Start again, watching True Blood to keep me company. Finally finish and go to bed.

I wanted blue and red because I have a grad party Saturday and I got a cute new dress for it. :) I'm in LOVE with the super pale blue which actually came from Forever 21. It went on really nice. I have another dealer for polish now...

While doing them I also realized I have the next three weeks planned out already because of various things going on. If I'm brave maybe there will be some mid-week polish changes for funsies.

 BTW, the ring finger and the thumb are my faves... they look like Dorothy's sparkly shoes. :)

 

 

Crappy pic, but what else do you expect...

I attempted something like a galaxy manicure. I should really post a better pic... hmmm...

Okay, way better. Not the outcome I wanted, I'll have to try again another time. But it's kinda cool. Not bad for a first attempt.

So my first few days of vacation have been all over the place. I've had TONS of fun, but I've also been sick. Yeah, yay me. Hopefully it goes away this week. Because this whole "summer cold" thing is just ridiculous.

I'd promise to be around more, but we all know that's just not entirely likely. :) If I could figure out how to blog from my phone we'd be in business. Anyone know?

Weekly Manicure

I went kinda plain again. And this picture doesn't do the color justice.

I went plain with a glittery ring finger again. But this purple... so cool. It's like a neon fruit punch color. And the glitter is a mix of purple and blue. So it's kind of subtle.

Guess what y'all... last week of school!!! Let the adventures begin...

Weekly Manicure

I did my nails this week! Yay! Here's hoping they're not ruined after we go hiking today. Hmmm...

I LOVE this blue color. It's Cinderella from Sinful. It has a shimmer to it and it's just pretty and girly. I threw some glitter polish from Forever 21 on the ring finger. I like.

It'll be a short week this week. But that doesn't mean I'm not already looking forward to Friday. :)

Weekly Manicure

So I had a problem last night... I waited until about 9:30 to touch my nails and I was feeling incredibly lazy. But this still isn't bad for lazy...

It's a peachy color. I had a different plan but ya know... no motivation and all. It's still cute. I still enjoy it.

I'm gearing up for so much over here. Field trip tomorrow, open house Thursday, baseball Sunday... finishing a TON of work by next Monday. Eek. Seventeen more school days until I can lounge and read and work out and watch movies and go to baseball games...

Weekly Manicure

It's the return of crappy webcam pics!!! :)

Navy and pink. I was really feeling the navy last week so I stuck with that as the base color again. The pink was inspired by my fun dress I wore for my girlfriend's graduation party yesterday.

So my weekend didn't happen EXACTLY as planned, but I still had a lot of fun. Took today off so I'm spending it with the husband. Now that he's maybe FINALLY feeling better. I'm thinking movie, maybe lunch. Whatevs.

Happy Monday!

Weekly Manicure

I really did mean to post pics earlier... it just didn't happen. But it is now!

So the nails look purpley here... they're totally not. They're a navy blue color. Thank the flash for the crazy color change. And the stripes look boring and like they have nothing to do with anything... but they do.

All will be revealed Friday. Actually, Saturday probably. We'll see.

Weekly Manicure

Hey guys.

Monday... blah. I was exhausted for no apparent reason. And running sucked. I didn't want to go, but I made myself since that's probably the grown up thing to do.

All I know is I'm gonna Rockstar it up tomorrow morning.

At least my nails are cute though.

I love them. Appropriately springish. And I stepped away from the plates this week. This was by hand. As you can tell from the less than stellar hearts.

Got a new nail plate in the mail today. Good chance I'll be using it next week. :)

Weekly Manicure

I was a bit lazy this week. I went with the nail stamp again. Feeling kinda uninspired. Maybe it's because spring break is over and I go back to work tomorrow. Sadsies. :(

It was a good one though. Much fun was had and I even caused a little trouble. ;)

Weekly Manicure

What whaaaaat...

I have a manicure for ya. And I love it.

The picture could probably be a bit better, but it is what it is. I did a gradient/ombre color job then stamped over it with my Konad plate and black polish. I'm kind of in love. But it's chipping like a beast on the tips. Probably because my nails are too long... hmmmmm.

I'm ready for Friday. Is that bad? Because next week is SPRING BREEEEEAK!!!!

Weekly Manicure

Hard to see... but there's plaid there. A really light, really fine plaid. I bought stamping plates which are the BEST THING EVER. Okay, maybe not ever, but they're pretty freakin' awesome.

I'm not playing today. I'm a zombie. Super fun weekend. But I didn't get enough sleep to function. So... yeah. You can hear about it if you show tomorrow.

Weekly Manicure

Keepin' it simple this week. Grey with a bunch of criss crossy stripes. Wasn't feeling too inspired by anything in particular.

Four weeks to spring break. Not that I'm counting. I have plenty to do before then. Theme night at church this week. Conferences next week. Hubby's birthday. Baking for a wedding. I will be so ready for break when it gets here!

Weekly Manicure

Back to school... *sigh* A week of vacation just isn't enough. I know I shouldn't complain, I'm pretty spoiled to even get a whole week off. And I only have five weeks until Easter break. Four of those days will be half days too.

Anyhow, you're probably here for a manicure...

Ignore the fact that I hadn't cleaned up my cuticles in this picture. Hubby guessed what it's theme is, can you? I'll give you a hint... children's book.

The Cat in the Hat! See my thumb is stripey like his hat. And his bow tie is on my ring finger! Friday would be Dr. Seuss' birthday so we make a semi-big deal about it at school. Last year my kids did their own version of There's a Wocket in My Pocket. It was pretty cute. I don't have anything set in stone for this year, but we'll do something.

Time for a new week... I'm so not ready.

Weekly Manicure

Short and sweet folks... because I need to get going...

Because we're headed to Disneyland!! We bought annual passes this year so this is our first trip. Hooray for passes and family who lets us stay with them!!

I'll be back Thursday. Maybe even posting for Friday...

Weekly Manicure

Themed for the week of course...

Also, you can see I didn't go for bangs. I had a really great hair day on Friday and it made me chicken out. Oh and if you can't tell what the blobs on my fingers are... hearts duh!

It's nice having a holiday to help me decide on my nails. Next week... no holiday but husband and I are going somewhere that will provide a nice theme for me. :) You'll find out later.

Weekly Manicure

So last week was INSANE. Too much going on for this girl. But I'm home with less to do this week. Not exactly feeling wonderful, but I'm here. And I did my nails.

I got a little Valentine-y.

So last week... errands almost every night because I kept forgetting to pick up stuff that I needed for school or for church. Church Wednesday night. Packing and prepping for 100th Day of School on Thursday night. Rushing out the door Friday afternoon to go to winter camp with eleven of our church girls and my aunt. Camp was super fun of course. Spent lots of time with our intern and my cousin - possibly my two favorite people right now. And of course late nights with my aunt and our girls.

But I'm glad to be home. I missed my bed. And my hubby. And sleep. Not necessarily in that order.
