What a wonderful coincidence! So for this month's theme for Les Nail Smiths, Michelle and I chose to do bling. Because, hey, sparkly things are great, right? So keep reading more for my take on this prompt!

Belated Birthday Nails

Hey, everyone!

I know, I kinda went missing for a week or so. I'm sorry! But it was because my birthday was on August 25th and I've been having too much fun! Check out my nails that I wore for the occasion and read more below!

Honestly, I didn't intend for these to be the nails I wore on my 22nd birthday, but I got so busy in the days leading up to it that I kinda had no choice. At least they were pretty! This lilac color is such a nice palate cleanser every now and then, especially with a little Fairy Dust and holo hex glitter placement!

My birthday was so much fun, by the way. On the Saturday before, my dad's side of the family and I went to dinner at Sierra Nevada Brewery (same as last year lol) and it was delish! Then on Sunday, my mom and grandma and I spent the day in SF driving around and eating good food truck food. It was soooo fun! Then my mom dropped me off in Berkeley so I could spend the week with my boyfriend and also celebrate with my birthday twin from school. We went and saw the Fathom Events screening of the season premiere of Doctor Who and WOW, was it good!!! All in all, that's my excuse for being away. And I don't really feel another year older, if you're wondering. Just another number at this point!

Materials Used
