ABC Challenge - "X" is for...well, X

Still catching up...I'm a blogging maniac today!  I will be caught up before I go to bed tonight if it kills me!

ABC Challenge - "W" is for Watch it Shine

Long time everyone, but I am back to being able to post regularly!  The hell that was session B of the Spring semester at school is over, and taking 12 hours along with working full time was not a smart decision.  It was a necessary one, but definitely not smart.  I've got a week off before it starts up all over again, but I won't be working full time any longer, so I can breathe....aaaahhhhhhhh.

No defibrillator needed...I'm still here!

Just a quick note here while I am doing homework.  The last two weeks have been pretty demanding at school, and at work I am busy training my replacement.  I've had naked nails for almost two weeks now, and I am ready to pull my hair out!!

I've got two quizzes, four programs, one homework assignment, a final that is a group project, and two actual finals to finish up by Wednesday midnight.  Whew!  I'm tired just writing it!  I should be back to myself by the end of the week.  <<looking longingly at my nail polish stash>>

I'll be back with the ABC Challenge for "Y", and then I will start working on putting together all the fantastic suggestions for our next challenge!  YAY!!!

Nite all!

A Wedding Day big fat fail!

Hello all - a rare non-challenge post for me.  I can't sleep, so I figured I may as well do SOMETHING. 

One of my favorite indie brands, KraftyGurl, has this gorgeous polish called Wedding Day.  Soft and pale pink, blue & green (or are they yellow?) glitters with some whites and holos thrown in the mix - LOVE IT.  I had envisioned a pretty manicure with this beauty, but there was a disconnect somewhere between my mind and my fingers.

ABC Challenge - "V" is for Venus In The Sky

Hello all!  We are here for the letter V, so here we go.

First, let me say that my original idea for the letter U and letter V both tied in together.  But that was before I looked at the calendar, and realized that the letter U fell right after Memorial Day weekend.  So my inspiration for V started with the letter U...who cares, right?  Here's the finished look, and yes, I know my cuticles look awful.  There is a lot of oil glare that wasn't there IRL, and they look bad in these photos.  But you are only here to see the polish, right?

Kitty Update

Hello all. This is going to be kind of lengthy, so if you want to just pass it by, it's OK.  This post is more for me - to document my Maize's illness; specifically, the last two days and today.  I've been on an emotional roller coaster with my kitty - I posted about her a couple weeks ago.  She was diagnosed diabetic, but unfortunately, that was a symptom of her ailment, and not the ailment itself.

ABC Challenge - "U" is for U.S.A. (Memorial Day inspired)

Hope you all had a great 3 day weekend here in the States!  Weather was not as bad as predicted, but it still has been a lot cooler - and cloudier - than you would want at this time of the year. 

I had a little, I don't know, brain blockage, and couldn't decide between a couple of manicures.  So, I texted a friend of mine, and made her make my decision for me.  Thanks Jessica - this one turned out good.
