Sail Away With Me Mani, Anchor Accent Nails

Wow were my nails short!!

As I said in a previous post, I had a lot of time a couple weekends ago for nail polish and other blog related things, so here is my favorite thing I did. I have been wanting to do sailor nails for a really long time, but just haven't gotten around to it. I found the inspiration when I did my snowman nails back in December before I began writing again. When I used the darkest blue in the ombre it immediately reminded me of the perfect shade of sailor stripe blue. Since it was the middle of winter, I didn't think that sailing nails would be appropriate. I have been waiting for months to do these nails and I think they ended up beautiful. I ended up wearing them for about a week and they didn't chip start chipping until maybe the last day.

Weekly Nail Obsession #8: Ulta's RSVP

Lately, I have been exclusively using my mini polishes that I have just bought and forgetting about my full size polishes. Also I have almost always used OPI or China Glaze or other big polish names like that and forgetting about smaller or cheaper brands. I almost forgot how much I liked Ulta polishes just because I have been so stoked about my more expensive polishes. As I was looking over my nail polish collection I saw all of my Ulta polishes and I have some darker polishes and I was in the mood for something light. This polish caught my eye, I have had it for two years and I have never actually used it!

Ready To Come Home

I keep telling everyone the usual when they ask how I like college, "Oh it's going great, I love it there, my classes are great I love them, yep everything is just great!" But in reality, I don't love it here, I don't love my classes, and everything is not great. Don't get me wrong, I don't absolutely hate it here, but I also don't really like being here. I would rather be at home. My first final is tomorrow then I am going home for like five days until my next exam. I'm not trying to be a brat or a drama queen, but I just don't want to be here anymore. I'm sure this college works for tons of people, but just not for me.

Wet 'n' Wild French White Creme VS. OPI's Alpine Snow

This weekend I had a lot of free time because my roommate went home for the weekend. So I had time to do whatever I wanted! I could have gone to a party, I could have done something bad and never have to tell my parents. But being the lame-o I am, I painted my nails with like 20 different polishes. But I got to do something I've been wanting to do for a really long, I got to show you guys why I like Wet 'n' Wild's French White Creme as much as I do. I also did swatches of some of my nude, silver, and grey polishes, and as always when I have a lot of time, I did some nail art. All those posts will be along in the coming weeks, but it will take me a while to get used to being home from college. Oh yeah, did I mention it's also finals week!? My last day is this coming Monday, the 25th!

Weekly Nail Obsession #7: Sally Girl's Zing A Ding

Seriously my absolute favorite polish name in the history of polishes!!!! Sally Girl's Zing A Ding is just as great as the name makes it sound!! I actually have never used a Sally Girl polish even though I have quite a few which I bought in my Huge Sally Beauty Haul. I was kind of worried about these polishes, I thought they were going to be like a little kids polish like in the silly kits you get as a kid. But I was pleasantly surprised! I feel like this is the perfect spring polish.

I started off with OPI's Chip Skip, which I'm pretty sure is a nail dehydrator and then one coat of OPI's Nail Envy as a base coat. I then did three coats of Sally Girl's Zing A Ding, I could have gotten away with two but I wanted more white speckles. I finished this look with one coat of Seche Vite's Fast Dry Top Coat. I kind of wish I would have used this on easter because these white matte glitters are very easter egg-esque. This polish is a beautiful lilac color and I am Obsessed with it, I thought I was going to hate the white glitters, but they add a lot to the polish.



Alright Dearies I Hope You All Have a Wonderful Day!!

The DIY Bug #4: Crochet Chevron Scrap Blanket Update

Click Here for Pattern and first post

A couple weeks ago I posted a pattern for the blanket I'm currently working on as you can see there really isn't any pattern to the color placement, but if you know anything about me you know there has to be some organization, even if it is a stretch. I have been crocheting like a mad woman the last couple weeks and this is how far I've gotten:

Weekly Nail Obsession #6: Finger Paints Matisse's Mirage

I sat staring at my nail polish the other day for a good five minutes, picking one up and then putting it back down, I couldn't figure out a color that was right for my mood and the time of year. It's already April, I can't believe it! I have two more weeks of college left and then I'm going home for the summer! It's so weird to think that a couple of months ago was my first day of college and a few before that I was in high school freaking out about college! Growing up is weird. In those few months, I have developed quite a nail polish addiction, I believe I have 140ish polishes now, which is pretty crazy to me because before this year I probably had twenty! My mom says I'm crazy, but she says she would rather me be addicted to nail polish than drugs or alcohol.

The DIY Bug #3: Be-You-tiful Canvas

Last Weekend my mom came and visited me at college and we went shopping!! As usual, we went thrift shopping (I'm going to do a haul post soon), usually I don't find much but this time my mom and I found a BUNCH of brand new stretched canvases. We bought every one that we saw, there were at least 5, after we checked out I told my mom that I NEEDED to take this cute little one back to my room. I had never seen this shape of canvas before. It is a little rectangle and I didn't have a ruler to tell you the exact "specs" but I took a picture of it blank with nail polish on it to show its size, I know I'm ridiculous, but it was the only thing I could think of that would show it's size.

New Planner! The BIG Happy Planner 2016-2017

I'm soo excited I just got a new planner from Michaels! I bought my first planner last year before my freshman year of college, I thought it would help me be more organized. It definitely has, it makes it easier to plan my days. One of my main things I want to do this year is use my planner more and rely on it more for organizing my life. I want to plan out posts to this blog as well as schedule my work days. I want to start an online business on Etsy with my own line of nail polish and that will definitely help with planning orders and what not, I haven't decided what the name is going to be, but when I figure it out I will let you know.

Weekly Nail Obsession #5: Cherry Chree's Taro

Disclaimer: I tried out this new brand of nail polish this week. I can't say that I am obsessed with it, but I do like it. I loved the color but I can't say I was totally thrilled with its formula.

Moving right along! Before Christmas when I was home for break I went to a Cookie Exchange Party, as party favors my mom and I both received mini polishes. Since my mom is awesome and knows how obsessed I am with nail polish she gave me hers. <3 I hadn't used them because they were so light and just not appropriate for winter and Christmas time. But now it's spring and I am in the mood for springtime colors!!
