When I first started this blog, I was expecting to be posting a heck of a lot more than I have been. I think I may have underestimated how much really goes into maintaining a blog. I seem to favour Instagram over all other forms of social media in terms of posting about my nails.
At the beginning I was like "Yes! I'm gonna be able to post multiple pictures & blab on and on about my current mani & nobody can say anything about it!" That takes a lot of effort (to me) though. If I wanted to upload multiple pictures, I'd have to watermark multiple pictures, plus taking pictures of nails isn't as easy as it may seem (some of you already know this lol).
Seeing as it's a new year & everything, I'm going to try & up my blogging game, if only slightly.
I did just get a new job (YES!!!) so I'm not sure what my hours are like yet. In the meantime, here's what I think I'm going to: At the bare minimum, I think I'll post at least once a month, probably with a Monthly Mani Favourites post.
And as for right now, I'll post a couple (relatively) recent awesome manis!
This first one is from 6 weeks ago. My claws had grown back since the chop at the end of October.

| Zoya Stevie, 2 coats, no top coat |
This was the mani I did after my most recent chop (end of January). My first leopard print tips! This chop wasn't as short as the one in October. I had a crack in my middle finger from cleaning & felt like I wanted a change, so I chopped them off again, this time without a sad face haha.
 |
| L.A. Colors Fuel, 3 coats with top coat & leopard print |
Just a simple French manicure with a twist.
 |
| Sally Hansen Diamonds, 2 coats & China Glaze Ruby Pumps with top coat |
These ones were pretty special to me. One of my best friends went to Jamaica for a week & I missed her dearly. I did a dedication manicure for her when she got home using a polish she'd given me.

| Pure Ice China Girl, 2 coats with top coat & nail art using acrylic paint |
Christina's committed herself to growing out her nails again & she's been doing amazingly! I used Nail Vinyls for the chevron tips, they're so amazing!!
 |
| Pure Ice Shell Pink, 2 coats with Quo Purple Passion tips with topcoat |
See what I mean about Christina's nails? Holy length! And the leopard print? LOVE IT!!!
 |
| Sinful Colors Over It, 2 coats with topcoat & leopard print nail art |
My first EVER glitter gradient!!!
 |
| Sinful Colors Endless Blue, 2 coats & Sally Hansen Mermaid's Tale dabbed/sponged gradient with top coat |
And this is what's currently on my nails! These were the nails I did for Valentine's Day!
I also used the very awesome Nail Vinyls for this mani.

I guess that's it for now. I know my posts tend to be a bit lengthy haha. Hopefully I'll be posting a little more frequently.
Until then, ta ta for now!!
