im pretty sick of red and green so i’d thought i’d go for something different. also i got that light blue joe fresh polish like 2 weeks ago and had yet to use it cuz im busy lazy :)

who says baby blue can’t be festive? haters gonn hate

Merry christmas everyone!

ive been sleeping with socks on for the last month which means WINTER IS HEERREE!!!

happy holidays from the snowman on my middle finger!

OHMAHGERD its been WAY too long!!

greetings from post-grad in urban design, being 23, and dublin, ireland!!

todays mani : acid wash denim. only the classiest up in hurrrr

After identity fest i felt sooooo dirty…OMG GUYS. PORT-A-POTTIES. NOT YOUR FRIENDS. as soon as i got home, i took a shower, exfoliated, scrubbed, body-washed, lathered, shampooed, conditionered, moisturized, YOU NAME IT, then did my nails. i literally took off a layer of EVERYTHING. music festivals ROCK, but TOIILLLEETTSSS!

ANYWAYS, because i felt like i needed to be super clean, i gave myself a SUPER GIRLY manicure. SO out of my usual style, i kinda like it but its day 2 and lets be frank, there’s only so long i can sport pink and flowers on my nails haha. ALSO i fixed up my bike today and now the white is all dirty from bike grease. pink? flowers? me? PAH! I AM WOMAN HEAR ME ROAR!

hey y’all! new mani. i wasnt inspired by anything, i was just sort of going with the flow and i LOVE how it turned out. i was going to identity fest in toronto so i wanted something fun, summery, and that screamed ‘RAVE WARRIOR PRINCESS’, (angie can attest to that particular conversation’s train of thought. it was funny. i swear).

also, DONT JUDGE ME, the base colour is OPI nicole by justin bieber’s “my lifesaver”. i borrowed it from my sister (sshh, dont tell her, apparently younger siblings have MAJOR issues with sharing), along with her black & white striper. she’s a major justin bieber fan, so i actually got her the polish for her birthday. i mean, for gods sake, she has a LIFE-SIZE CUTOUT OF HIM IN HER ROOM. actually. its just a LIFE-SIZE FACEPALM.

this is an oolllddd pic but i just never found the time to upload. i originally had it green for a job interview (you know, keeping it simple with a sparkly dark green). i got the job (the one at the law firm, YAWN, no, DOUBLE-YAWN), obviously because she liked my classy dark square nails so much.

anyway i came home from the interview and could not STAND the sight of my nails being all classed up and shiz, so i HAD to take a paintbrush to them. and of course i added lace, cuz i was going for that bad-ass-mofo vibe.

anyway. PRETTY PRETTY. kay i dont know if any of that made sense because i get deliriously tired at around 10:30 pm these days. thank you 6am starts to a summer job. i literally get home / gym it / eat / watch sitcoms for an hour / pass out. I AM AN OLD LADY. 

WOW I’ve been away for SO long!! first i was gone on my field course, then i started work at a law firm and i wasn’t sure what the deelio was for fancy nails. of course once i figured out it was okay, i went ca-ray-zay with my manis! aahhh…no more withdrawal, SWEET SWEET NAIL POLISH. it was like starving for a week and then eating 10 kit kat bars. except i didnt paint my nails for like a month so actually it was WORSE THAN STARVING.

anyway im sorry ive been away for so long! perhaps you can forgive me in exchange for this new mani? its more girly and flowery than i usually do, thats for sure…reminds me of those dutch delft blue pottery designs. lurve!

OMG, sorry i’ve been so MIA you guys. i got back from my field course and have been working on an epic 15-page lab write-up for it. like, scientific journal styles. as in, i cant bs it. BLARG. its 3:20 am and i CANT LOOK AT MY GINORMOUS EXCEL SPREADSHEET ANYMORE.

so anyways, ON TO NAILS! YAY!

here’s a pic of brit’s nails that i did for her a while back. aren’t they cool? she has the same peach nail polish that i have from urban, and i think the colour looks wayyy better on her than it does on me, complexion-wise. and im loving the “tribal tattoo” look…can’t you just see that on a rock climber’s arm? can’t you? HARDCORE.

VISHK OUT. to bed. yawnz.

hey y’all! so i’m on a field course right now, aka i can’t do my nails for two weeks :( i figure this is a badly-needed detox though, my nails haven’t seen the light of day for longer than like 10 hours at a time in the past few months. SOOOOO bad for them…but SO. SO. GOOD. 

this mani is one i did for christina. ever since i started the blog, whenever i go to my friends’ houses they want me to do their nails for them! i love it cuz i get to practice and take pictures and put their pretty hands all over this tumblr, and they love it cuz they love me. i mean my nails. i mean me.

ANYWAYS this is definitely one of my cuter ones, the watermelon is just soo perfect for summer!! i think im going to do this on all my nails soon. PAINT ALL THE NAILS! after my field course, that is. it’s been like two days and i never want to see forest ever again. 

heyyy heyyy! after doing such a fierce, geometric, colourful mani, i wanted to do something that was more demure. so i grabbed my most modest orange and threw some green and black on my super-long obnoxious nails. “demure”…me? LOLZ, that’s as demure as it gets!

this one kind of reminds me of marie antoinette stylez. i don’t know why…maybe its the fact that it uses a delicate pastel pattern with black? well anyways, we all know she was the original bad bitch (take note, nicki minaj, and study lil kim while you’re at it) so i love this one long time!!
