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!

Abstract Abalone Nails
Hey, everyone!
I've been seeing a lot of gorgeous nail art lately using the drip marble technique. I first saw this cool trick on the YouTube channel My Simple Little Pleasures (created by the talented Colette) a while ago, and I finally thought of a great idea with which to use it! So keep on reading for all the details!

Beware the Evil Eye!
Hey, everyone!
I don't know about you, but so far my 2016 has been pretty busy! The school district I substitute teach in just came back from break today, and I had an exhausting yet overall good day. I'm honestly not sure how busy I'll be from now on, but chances are that I'll only have time for one blog post per week. So for the foreseeable future, I'll only be posting on Wednesdays, and if I have an extra post to share it'll be on Saturday. Okie dokie? Cool! Anyway, keep on reading for details on this nail look!

Les Nail Smiths, September 2015: Double Processed Stamping
Hey, everyone!
For September's Les Nail Smiths theme, I chose double processed stamping. It's a fairly new and kinda tricky stamping technique but the results are well worth the effort! I won't really go too much into the details of how it's done, but if you're curious then please check out this post by Lacquer Lockdown! It's described really well there. Anyway, keep reading below to find out more about my double processed stamping look!

Opal Fail Nails
Hey, everyone!
Very rarely, I go through the creative process of creating a mani, and when I'm done I'll look at it and think "Nope. I hate this." This was an example of one of those times. Keep reading to find out more!
