31 Day Challenge: Inspired by a Pattern!

Well I am SO far behind on this challenge, it ended nearly two weeks ago. Kudos to Kelsie and Stephanie for finishing on time and posting everyday! I thought I was prepared for all the manis but…well…obviously that was not the case. While I enjoyed doing the challenge, I felt too rushed and would do mani after mani after mani, sometimes 5 a day…This way I get to enjoy my mani a little longer. This one I am pretty proud of. While it’s not perfectly polished, I think I captured my inspiration pretty well. I have seen lots of owl manis and many are wayyyy better than mine, but I still think its cute. :) Warning there’s lots of pics in this post!

The Pattern for my inspiration comes from my Nook Tablet skin. I love little owlies, they have become pretty popular lately. I just love this, every time I look at it!

And, the mani!

And two more:

Thank you all for reading!

I'm Still Here!

Hello lovelies.

 I am still puttering around on Blogger, however haven't had time to really do any cool manis or any time to photograph and prepare posts. I have been painting my nails, but I have been alternating between Nicole by OPI Kourt is Red-y for a Pedi, and Kim-pletely in Love. Seriously in love with both of those polishes and haven't had time for anything too complex.

As I''m sure you all have been dying to know what I have been up to: I am still waiting to hear back from the interview I had last week, I am trying to stay positive but am worried I didn't get it. 

I finally got an estimate on my trunk from when my cousin backed into me, and I am having a heck of a time dealing with the insurance company over it. You'd think I caused the accident or something, seriously. 

I am going on a float trip this weekend so have been making mad dashes getting prepared for it. I am so excited to have some fun with friends and celebrate my boyfriend's birthday!

The most exciting news of the day: I finally have been able to order some indy polishes! I am so excited! Everytime I go to check out any of the handmade polishes on Etsy, the shops are closed or I have to get on a waiting list. I am seriously too lazy and not motivated to keep up with that, so once I saw these in stock, I had to order them! And they are really reasonably priced too, which was the big selling point for me!

Here is the Etsy shop I ordered from. I ordered Lite Brite (OMG you don't understand my excitement for this one!!!), Paradise Cove, and Salt n Pepa. 

I leave you with this: I just love these things.

I was also nominated for some awards but haven't nailed down the post for those yet. I promise I'll get to it eventually! And sometime this year I will finish the 31 day challenge. lol.

I hope you all have a wonderful week!
