For this #ManiMonday I've decided to show you the mani I've got while I'm away in Japan. While I'm out of the country I chose a super muted blue/grey Essie polish and an awesome sparkly accent nail. I didn't want to do anything crazy for my vacation so that my nails would look polished and wouldn't stand out too much. Chris helped pick out the color and specifically requested 'pastels/muted colors'.

I'm excited to be out of country and enjoying myself!

Once again I went with a bright color - this time a coral-y orange! I added a little bit of length, but kept the rounded edges. I find that I really like the rounded look more and this is going to be one of the last manicures before I leave for Japan! I'm definitely going to need color suggestions for while I'm gone. I'm thinking more pastel/neutral colors? Leave me suggestions!

This mani monday I went in the complete opposite direction - I went short, round, and hot ass pink. I realized after trying to work with those long nails that they really weren't for me - I could barely type and I kept jamming them into stuff (painful!).

Pinkie Pie makes another appearance and next mani monday we'll have different colored nails in probably the same shape.

Mani Monday 6-20-2016

A couple weeks ago I decided it was time to get my nails back! I'm a horrid nail biter and I wanted to start growing my natural nail out - I can only seem to hold off gnawing my nails off by getting acrylics. So I did! And I went with an almond shape instead of the a square shape and chose a super pretty periwinkle color.

Please excuse the growth this is almost a week after they were done!

I'm super in love with this length and the color - I just need color recommendations for the next time!

#ManiMonday with Impress Manicure*

It's well known that I'm a terrible nail biter - it's only recently that I've allowed my fingernails to grow out. I've used different press-on nails before and they were completely subpar in comparison to these ones. ImPRESS Manicure was nice enough to send me a couple samples and I couldn't be happier!

This is how my nails started out! You can't really notice it but the only reason my nails even made it to this length is because I wore acrylics for over 2 months. As most of us know, acrylics are not very nice to natural nails so my nails are pretty brittle and thin. Which makes regular nail glue a no-go for me and the adhesive they use even better than I expected!
