Crumpet's 52 week challenge - Kick Off week #1

Week #1:  Gradient and/or Teal

Here we are again...hello everyone!  Long time no blog.  Things have been a little spastic this year, and I stepped away from blogging to try to get some things finished before I graduate and move on to the second and last career of my life.  I'm not exactly finished, but I'm close; and I miss blogging. 

So to start back up, I've joined in a couple of weekly challenges, the first of which is this baby right here. 

It's 52 weeks long, and it's gonna be fun.  It's got some flexibility built into it, which will let me take it easy on the weeks I need to.  Let's get to it, shall we?

GOT Polish for 4/3/2014: Pastel

Whew!  Getting my GOT Polish challenge post up in time.  It really feels good to get a couple of blog posts up, but they will be pretty sparse with school and all.

This week is pastel, and I've had these Hard Candy polishes for...I really have no idea how long.  I know I picked them up last year, but whether or not they actually fall into the specific 1+ year old category for this challenge is beyond me.  I'm gonna plead ignorance on this one, OK?

Front & Center Friday for 2/21/2014: L'Oreal Mint Glacee

Hello everyone!  Blogging has been sporadic lately...I need to work on that.  This endless winter has taken its toll on my hands.  They are raw and painful, and my nails just refuse to grow.  I've finally got some healthy nail edges, but they are still a little short for me, but not so painfully short as they have been for the last couple of weeks.  I feel comfortable showing them off here finally.  But enough of that...on to the polish, shall we?

I'm not in the mood for pastels just yet, but I'm wearing this color for my Spotlight Saturday glitter. I was expecting this polish to be a problem, but I was pretty pleasantly surprised.  It is a pretty, soft minty, sort of pistachio, green from L'Oreal:

Mish Mash Challenge #4: Technique never tried before

Hello everyone.  Another challenge post - can't believe this is the 4th one already!!  This week, we had to pick a technique we have never tried before.  I had some trouble picking, because there are so many I haven't done.  I ended up settling on Spun Sugar nails.  I have never done this before, and didn't do any test runs before I did this mani.  I have to say, although it has some issues, I am really pleased with how this one came out.
