You Live and Learn-- New Blog

So... as you have probably already noticed, I have not posted in a hot second.  Evidently when you don't have a job and you have lots of free time it is a lot easier to have time for a nail blog.  I'm really sad to say this but I not longer have the time to not only paint my nails with intricate pretty designs (or even sometimes regular colors), but I don't have the time to take good pictures of them, and then write a blog about it, and all of the other fabulous things that come with nails.  I do still do my nails often, just not as often as I would like in order to continue an interesting blog about it.


That being said... Here are some pictures of the nails I have had recently.  Most of them are solid colors...

This is Animalistic, from the Muppets Collection

I loved these!!  This is Recycle (I think) by China Glaze  with a black and a white striper.

My rendition of the Ikat, Created with a pretty pink that I dont know the name of, Sexy In the City (by CG) and a black striper.

And the coveted Ombre, using clear and white-- Probably My Boyfriend Scales Walls.

So that is what I have been up to.
I have a new blog now, From Handbags to Hoedowns and Back! Feel free to visit me and follow if you wish =D
I am still posting pictures on instagram, too.  My instagram name is fairly simple... ready??  It is forlacquerofabetterterm-- Who would have guessed!  It is my personal IG but I post all of my nail pics there =)  Feel free to follow me there too.

I love you all and hope to see you again, soon!!

My next chapter!!

So.... Guess what?!  I'M MARRIED!!!

I haven't had time to get on here much lately, with planning the little things before the wedding like who needs a corsage, what to put in the corsage, how many aisle decorations to put, blah blah blah... BUT the good news is my husband and I finally made it through the wedding and we are happy, healthy, and alive!  The bad news is I painted my own nails for the wedding (duh) and completely forgot to take a picture for you guys!!  How could I!!  Lucky for us both, I did something suuuppeerr simple =P  Orly Winter Wonderland over white... so I am going to use another bloggers picture!  This picture is from Sondilo's Nail Polishes, and they did OWW over a white creme base.  I did it over My Boyfriend Scales Walls... Which is practically the same thing.

I also put a small gold heart on my left ring finger so when he put my ring on he would see it, but it turned out to be a big blob that you couldn't really see anyways LOL jokes on me!

I know you are all aching for pictures of my dress and my handsome groom, but those will have to wait!  I do not really have any good ones (just fuzzy ones that people snapped on their phones) But as soon as I get my teasers from my professional photographer I will share them with you all =D

I can share a picture I took of our rings though ^.^

and on the inside of his wedding ring I surprised him and had our wedding date engraved =)

That is all for now.... ^.^  ahhhhh newlyweds... so much happiness!

Have a day full of beauty and love!
(I know, I know *barrffffff* =P)

Something Sweet and Uneven....

I have so many manis to show you guys, I don't know where to begin!!  It hurts to type still, so I will just show you the simple one today =)  I did two more Breast Cancer Awareness manis, but I wasnt satisfied with either, so I'm not putting them up lol.  The ideas behind them were pretty simple though. One was a pink and holo gradient with a ribbon on each ring finger and the other was a jelly sanwich with pink glitter and essie marshmallow on some fingers, the white polish with a big ribbon on some nails, and a jelly sandwich but instead of glitter, putting little ribbons on the nail.  But that one came out terrible.... so on with my simplest and latest.  This one is pink... so I guess it counts... there is no ribbon or anything but oh well!

You will notice that the nails on my right hand are significantly longer than the ones on my right hand.... I cant file them yet because the vibrations hurt and I cant quite get the angle to do it lol so they are loonnggg and I havent been able to do much with my right hand so breakage wasn't an issue... man do they look prettttyyyyyy.  My left hand is jealous!

This is CG Something Sweet.  I. Love. It.   On the pinkie there is also a layer of OPI's Pirouette my Whistle.

Right hand

Right hand

Left hand

Left hand, sorry the colors are all phooey

 I love this color so much, it is like big girl baby pink.

On a different note, I am a Seche Vite convert...  I was terrified to try it, but it is absolutely amazing!  It dries so fast and I dont have a problem with shrinkage, all I did was make sure to wrap the tip and that got rid of the problem =)  and its soooo shiny ^.^

Anyhow, back to healing and being super busy with wedding stuff.  ONLY three more weeks!!!

and a cute picture =)

My puppy, Lily, was nuzzling me when I was taking pictures of these nails =) lol it was so cute!! and she matches my pants =P
