Nails: Don't Bite Me!
The adventures of a Nail Biter trying not to be.
Watch as I stumble around trying to give myself the perfect manicure.
It’s been awhile and that’s for a very specific reason. The stress of the holidays have killed my nails. They look terrible right now. So here is an old photo of one of my layer experiments.
I was attempting to imitate the ButterLondon polish Knackered.
Polishes:
Pure Ice - Black Rage
Alternating layers of:
Wet ‘n Wild - Gray’s Anatomy
China Glaze - Fairy Dust
The polish didn’t really photograph as well as I had hoped, but in person the purple/green duo-chrome is very pretty.
Colors:
OPI - Road House Blues
Wet ‘n Wild - Saved by the Blue
Lynnderella - Mademoiselle Violette de Bleu
Lynnderella - Bride of Franken
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted. I recently made a semi-big move which led to many a broken nail (and a few that I chewed myself).
Nails are still healing as you see from this photo, but thought it was time to post something.
Colors:
A-England - Avalon
Nicole by OPI - Kendall on the Katwalk
NOTD:
China Glaze - Deviantly Daring
China Glaze - Life’s a Beach
Sally Hansen - Silver Sweep
I wanted to showcase my new polish from China Glaze’s Bohemian Collection and at the same time saw CutePolish’s Braided Nails tutorial. So I did this. I love how this came out.

If y’all are watching the Olympics I’m sure y’all have noticed the fantastic nail art many of the female athletes have been sporting : )

** London 2012: Rebecca Adlington nail designer ‘fascinated’ by flags
Not my cleanest look, but I had to do something to show my excitement for the Olympics!
Like so many other people I turn into the biggest sports fan every four years and watch non-stop coverage of every sport. : )
My Bumblebee inspired manicure. I figured this would be fun for the summer and a way to show off my new bottle of Nail-Venturous - Humble Bee.
Polishes:
Pinkie & Pointer fingers:
Sally Hansen - Lightning
Nail-Venturous - Humble Bee
Middle & Ring fingers:
SH - Lightning
L’Oreal - Tweet Me
Pure Ice - Black Rage
Happy 4th of July!!
Here’s a cute and simple tutorial from Cute Polish for those of you who celebrate and want to do something patriotic for the day!
I actually did a design quite similar for my Aunt. It’s a fun way to show of your national pride on this fun holiday. <3
Nerd Lacquer - Beggar’s Canyon
China Glaze - Fast Track
I just love the unique look the different shades of gold, bronze and purple glitters give this polish. This is also a much better swatch than when I had it layered over a polish that was much too dark for it (here).
Submission from linaluvsyu
gel lacquer
I know I’ve never mentioned this before, but I do have a submit button at the top of the page. I added it a long time ago in case anyone desired to submit their own nail designs. Anyone can submit and I’d love to see what y’all’s nails look like : )
