Isn't it ironic?

Isn't it ironic how professional most of my manicures have been considering the name of my blog? I have been interviewing a lot lately, but there is a good chance I have something, so hopefully we can get back to our regularly scheduled nails soon!

For a little break from all the boring pinks, here is my mother's least favorite color in my collection. Usually she will say she likes my nails, or thinks a color is pretty or interesting. Whenever I wear this color she tells me continuously how obnoxious it is!

China Glaze Sun Kissed. This is from their 2012 summer neon collection, and it is like a highlighter in a bottle. The formula is surprisingly good for a yellow, this is three coats.

This is one of my favorite looks that I've done, it's pretty and girly, but also has a bit of an edge.

I started with a gazillion hard coats of China Glaze Something Sweet. I love this color but the formula is impossible!

I then added 2 coats of Cover Band Sticks N' Stones, this is a dupe of Lynnderrella's Connect the Dots. I won't put up with her drama for a bottle of nail polish, so I am sure glad that this exists!

Post #1 in my Reddit Arbitrary Day Haul

A wonderful Redditor got me these awesome polishes:


First was Shore Thing. It's a pastal cream, so its application was tricky, but I think the result was totally worth it.


I then added Nicole I Pink I Love Him, for this amazing look. I was originally going to add a stamp, but I loved this so much, I kept it for 2 days!

Kleancolor Blue-Eyed Girl

Sorry for the lack of nail-art lately. I've been shadowing, interviewing, and applying to jobs. My nails have been many shades of light pink. Booooo.

Anyway, here is Kleancolor's Blue-Eyed Girl. This was three coats. I think next time I will do 1 coat of an easy blue and then two coats of this so it doesn't end up with quite so much glitter but is still opaque. Sorry for the lobster fingers.

Jessica Sunrise

This stuff goes on like a dream. 2 coats. I adore bronze-y colors like this, but it would probably be more appropriate for the fall. Oh well, screw appropriate.Yay pretty.

Zoya Avery Polka dota

I started with 3 coats of Zoya Avery.

My best friend says mannequin nails creep her out... I think they look kind of cool.


I then added polka dots, very small ones, heavy a the bottom and more sparingly towards the top. I used a black shatter (it's color club, the sticker fell off) on the ring finger and added some China Glaze Snow Globe (because what manicure isn't made better with some sparkle?)



...I think that's it.
