GTL (Get The Look): Pretty Little Liars

Hi!

Sorry!  It's been forever.  I haven't stopped doing my nails... I just didn't much feel like blogging about it.  Work-- it's really depressing lately.  Again, so sorry.  Now that I'm on holiday/winter break I should do some more blogging.  

Anyhoo... this is a nail look I did a while back, based on this you tube tutorial.  I don't watch Pretty Little Liars and I don't know who Hanna is, but here's a pic:

How fun is that?!?!?  Check out my take on it:

I like challenge #29 though, so... tomorrow.

31 Day Challenge - Day 1: red

Hi!

The last 2 weeks have been very rough, bot in life in general and on my nails.  I'm back to work in the classroom and everything is new there. (If you're really curious, I can point you towards my teaching blog.) 

As much as work is sucking the life out of me, I think I need to force the life back into me.  (I have not been a happy camper this last week in particular.)  Which is why I'm going to join the 30 Day September Nails Challenge.  I haven't found any strict rules or how-to list.  Therefore I am going to set my own rules for myself & this blog:  my personal goal is to post a challenge mani picture, every day, to correspond with the challenge 'menu' below. 

This doesn't mean that I will change my mani every single day (I don't know if I can manage that).  This is also a way that I can work on harder nail art manis (which terrify me, btw) on the weekend when I have more time (and I don't have to keep them on if they're a horrible mess).  Oh and this is not an "untrieds" challenge for me.  I did that this summer on vacation, and wore 50 untrieds from my stash. =) 

Here we go!  Let's have some fun!

NOTD: Red, white and oh-my!

Hi!  Happy 4th of July-- wherever you are! 
Me?  I'm on holiday in Florida!  Having BBQ and a beer (hopefully ;-) with my family,
so this post was previously plotted, for your enjoyment.

Today I have for you a "vintage" mani.  This is one of the first --if not *the very* first-- mani pic I took of myself.  The "accent nail" and the "multi mani" are all the rage now. But last year, in my circles, not so much.  People around me thought I was silly.

Behold - 4th of July mani, circa 2011:
