Eye of the Tiger

Occidental College's frosh orientation's in three days, so I decided to take a little break from finishing off the polishes.  Inspired by my new mascot, the tiger.

Black:  Black by Santee (thin brush... except not really. It's a lot thicker than I thought it'd be.)

Yellow:  The "It" Color by OPI

Mountain Retreat

My sister just came back from retreat, so I decided that something mountain-y wouldn't be uncalled for.


Please excuse the poor photography >__< I planned on getting better pictures later, but for whatever reason, my sister can never preserve manicures on her fingers for more than like, two days... so this is all I got.

Once and Floral

I love thrifiting, swap meets, whatever I can dig through & find cool things for cheap prices <3 Our church had a yard sale on Saturday, and among other things, I got this uh, shelf thing for $4.  Mom suggested I put nail polish in it and voila~ Maybe someday, I'll paint it.

Looks more colorful and glorious in real life, I swear n___n
Also got this dress, which inspired my nail art this time around <3
   

Which ended up being another floral OTL I only realized it after I finished four of five nails.  I'm going to have to try to lay off the flowers from now on.  Well, I like this one anyway, though I'm kind of disappointed that the dress and nails don't match because I don't have brown, but green's a'ight.


Beige:  Bamboo Shoot by Sally Hansen

One Woman's Trash...

Just playing around with a gum wrapper while waiting to be picked up from the spa n__n You peel it, and it's like a super fragile, not-so-pretty nail sticker. The lighting wasn't too great, but w/e >3< ASDFGHJKL; I gotta get metallic polishes.

Velvet Flora v.2

A lot of times, I only do nail art on my left hand and leave the right hand with just the base color coating or with glitter & simple lines or w/e; nothing picture-worthy or anything just because it takes me so much longer, since I'd have to paint with my non-dominant hand, but I wanted to see the Velvet Flora with dots, so I decided to recreate it on my right.  Turns out, it's also a lot harder to take pictures with my left hand xP but here it is.
