Christmas Spammmmmm!!

My nails are still beyond embarassing, so I have a pretty snowflake mani that I did before I ate my fingers to show you. 

This is actually my shellac manicure that I stamped over with my bundle monster plate.... that has a snowflake on it. 


In other news, I haven't picked up my new elliptical because of the stupid freaking rain. And I haven't packed to go home for the weekend yet. I really haven't accomplished much. Have a great holiday!!

Whoops I Did It Again...

So my Shellac manicure lasted me exactly 4 days. FAIL. I decided that the bathroom needed a very serious scrubbing last night, and the chemicals I used just dissolved the polish. I will never be able to explain why I didn't just put on a pair of gloves. They're right next to all the cleaning stuff, it would have been so simple! On the plus side, my nails are already WAY harder. The ends arent bending like they usually do. I'm halfway through a Christmas themed mani right now, pics will be up later. Also, I just scored an AWESOME haul on ebay. 2 Essie Luxeffects (Shine of the Times and whatever the pearlescent (sp) one is), Bobbing for Baubles from the Cocktail Bling collection, and China Glaze Snow Globe. All for the price of 2 Essie polishes. ebay, sometimes you are my friend. I will post the haul and swatches when they arrive! What's the best beauty deal you've scored lately?

First order of business: Grow out my stumpy nails!

I keep trying to grow my nails out, and failing miserably. They are definitely in the best shape they've ever been in, but that's really not saying much. Whenever they're finally reaching my fingertips, they split or peel and end up right back where they started. Wahhhhh :( So, to try and help the process, I went and got a shellac manicure. This is a pic from day 3. On my other hand, I already chipped one (my own fault, I was picking at it). More about shellac manicures later! I'll also be posting some pics of other nail art attempts I made myself, before shellac. Long work day, then soccer tonight! Yay!
