Hey guys!
I'm so excited to share today's post with you because it's something I'm really proud of! I've always considered myself artistically challenged... I will forever be stuck at the stage of drawing stick figures. And if I try to draw a dog, it might look like a deer or a donkey, you never know. So when I first started doing nail art not too long ago, I thought I could only create interesting looks using dotting tools and striping tape. I thought there was no way I could freehand designs like I've seen many girls do.
That's where the Hobby Polish Bloggers May Challenge comes in. I'm so glad that I'm taking part in this challenge, partly because it's really pushed me to try things that I never thought I could do.
I know, I know... flowers for a nature-inspired challenge are pretty cliche and not the most innovative. But freehand roses are something that I've admired, so once I saw this awesome tutorial by The Nailasaurus, I knew I had to give it a try. And the results turned out better than I could have imagined! So thanks, Nailasaurus, for inspiring me to push my (imagined) boundaries and allowing me to create something I didn't think was possible for me!

Hi guys!
Today I want to show you my favorite blue polish! There are many blue polishes that are close to my heart, but once I got Cosmos in the mail and tried it on for the first time, it was true love. <3
After looking at swatches of this polish for a long time, I finally caved. I had to have it. The medium/dark blue color, the flecks of holo throughout. And somehow, it was even better in person. It exceeded any expectations I had - it's simply gorgeous.

Hello!
Today I want to show you a gorgeous polish from Cirque. This is the second polish I've tried from Cirque, and based on swatches I've seen and my personal experiences, it's an amazing brand! The first polish I tried was an incredible holographic glitter topper that you can see here. This next one, Cypress, is equally as amazing and equally as unique.

Hey guys!
Did you have a good weekend? I definitely did! Since it was a three-day weekend, on Friday I kept thinking it was Saturday and on Saturday I kept thinking it was Sunday... and each time it was such a pleasant surprise to know I had an extra day! Today we're starting the last unit of the first year of med school - Musculoskeletal. I can't believe I'm almost going to be a second year med student. Time is just flying by!
Today I want to show you 4 of the 6 polishes from Zoya's Summer PixieDust collection. I'm sure most if not all of you have seen so many pictures from this collection, but if you haven't, this post will be even more exciting! I used four of the shades (Miranda, Solange, Beatrix, Destiny) to create an ombre manicure.. and I LOVE how they all look together!

Hi guys!
Happy Friday! Anyone have any fun plans for the weekend?? I hope everyone gets a chance to relax and enjoy the beautiful weather! Well... if you're in California anyway haha. I took my test yesterday and everything went really well! So happy =D So today I think I'm going to go hiking and then to the beach! Yayyy.
Anyways, this month I'm participating in my first challenge, and I'm so excited about it! It was created by the Hobby Polish Bloggers, a fantastic group of very sweet and supportive ladies who all share an obsession with polish (of course!). This challenge is perfect for me because there are only four prompts throughout the whole month! Meaning I can do just one look a week, which is much more practical for me than, say, every day.
The first theme is "Inspired by Fashion." Click the "Read more" link to see the look I created and my inspiration!
Hey guys!
I'm so happy that I finally get to take my last neuro exam today... I absolutely can't wait to have a nice long weekend! And the weather has been amazing, so as usual, there will be a lot of outdoor activities in my near future.
Today I'm really excited to show you my current nails. I've always loved the look of galaxy nails, partly because I think the universe is so amazingly fascinating and mysterious, and also because they just look really neat! I did this manicure on Tuesday after my first test as a nice way to relax and debrief, and I really really love how they turned out.

Hey guys!
Happy Hump Day! I had my first exam of the week yesterday, and even though I thought it was pretty tough, I did better than I thought! But I'm still going to study all day today so I can do well on tomorrow's exam. Then it's a three-day weekend, and I'll have absolutely nothing to worry about. Days like those are rare in medical school, and I'm really looking forward to it!
Today I have a gorgeous new polish to show you that I picked up this past weekend... and it might just be one of my favorite greens that I own! It's called First Timer, and it was released this spring as part of Essie's 4-piece Resort Collection for 2013. When I first saw the promo photos for this collection, I thought First Timer was going to be terribly close to some shades we've seen before, so of course I had to compare them side by side.
