2 Spoopy 4 Me!
Hey, everyone!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN! As much as I would've loved to do dozens of Halloween themed manis this year, I suppose just one or two will suffice. At least I got to wear these for a few days first! Keep reading to find out how I achieved this spooktacular look!

Colorful Cacti
Hey, everyone!
I'm still here! I've just been busy... and I honestly haven't been doing my nails much lately as a result, which means they're in pretty poor shape at the moment. I've also gotten sucked back into Tumblr after not having used my fandoms account for basically THREE YEARS, and am also now writing and drawing on a regular basis. It's just hard for me to balance all my hobbies in my free time, which is slim lately because I'm head AP proctor at the high school until the end of next week. SO that's my long-winded excuse for my absence. Anyway, I wore this nail art for Easter (!) and am just now posting it. Keep reading!

You really can find inspiration for nail art just about anywhere, and this mani is proof! In this case, I was inspired by my couch, which actually has been one of my favorite pieces of furniture since I was a little kid. Keep reading to find out the details of this design!

Life Update & A Special Legacy
Hey, everyone!
I'm sorry I've been MIA this week. You may have seen stuff about Oroville Dam and its damaged spillway(s) in the news recently. Well, my town is downriver from the dam, and there has basically been an evacuation order (downgraded to an advisory) in effect for the entire past week, just in case the (already full) river breeches the levees and causes a massive flood. I haven't been able to go to work because all the schools are closed, and it's been a really stressful week. The storm system this weekend is only putting more pressure on the issue, but the updates this morning seem to be good ones. So I'm trying to catch up on some posts until they possibly tell us we need to get out!
Update out of the way, this mani and this post are very special to me. My academic advisor from college recently and suddenly passed away. We were very close, since I was one of only two graduating chem majors in my graduating year, and he was simply put the most lovely and genuine gentleman I have ever met. I will tell you more about him in this post, but this mani is what I wore to his "celebration of life" service. Please keep reading for more!

Glum Bun
Hey, everyone!
I didn't have have a plan when I sat down to start these nails. At the time, the weather had been really gloomy and I wanted to reflect that on my nails. But I ended up really liking this nail art! Keep reading to find out how I got this look!

My Dream Polish!
Hey, everyone!
If you've been following me for very long, you'll know that I love the color orange. Orange clothes, orange candy, orange jewelry, and of course orange polish! And I've gotta say, I have searched high and low for the perfect orange glitter polish. No such luck... until now! Keep reading to find out more!

Majestic Mountains
Hey, everyone!
I've been tempted to do these nails for quite a while now. I was originally inspired by this mani by Coewless Polish and this mani by More Nail Polish, and then recently this version by @coyarose inspired me to finally tackle my own take on it! Keep reading to find out how I got this look!

Abalone on Abalone Shores
Hey, everyone!
Look, two posts in one week! WHAAAAT?! I'm trying to catch up with my backlog of pictures, so that means actually posting them and not letting them sit in a lonely folder on my computer. This design is probably about a month or so old, but I hope you enjoy it anyway! Keep reading for all the details!

So I'm taking the time to write this quick post. Keep reading to check out the nail art, too!
