College and Nails :)

SO GUESS WHAT?!

I got into Pharmacy School!!!!! Four more years and I will be a Doctor :) sort of :) Anywhooo I am so pumped and just wanted to share.

My Sister Sent me this picture....Its so adorable!!
As you can guess, school takes up a ton of my time and the future seems full of school as well. However, even when I am not posting, I am painting tons of my friends nails and my own :) For the weekends where I can schedule them. 

Just wanted to explain my sort of erratic posting :) Hope you don't mind!!


On to the nails!!! Our school's colors are the same as the Vietnam flag, so the week of our pharmacy interviews and the week of the lunar new year... I did my Vietnamese friends nails....


I loved them! They were so festive, both for the new year and our college :)

This is tips in Orly Ma Cherie and outlined with a nail art brush in yellow. And topped off with seche vite.

Fireworks :)

Oops :) Forgot to take pics of this mani before wearing it :)
Well you get to see the wear of the polish this way :)
Haha

This is my pre-new year mani, I am going to be changing it for the actual night/day.




Excuse my dry hands!

They are supposed to be fireworks :)

I used 1 coat of Sinful Colors Black on Black, then a coat of WnW Megalast Blackmail. That has multicolored glitter in it, but on the nail it wasn't visible :( I was thinking it would make it look like the starry sky but oh well.

Then I stamped 'fireworks' on with several metallic golds and silvers. I used BM02 for the plate and Orly Luxe, Zoya Richelle, and Zoya Trixie.

I really loved this manicure upclose but it was far too subtle to wear for new years. I need some bling!!!

What are your plans for this new year's mani??

Also, my blog sale has been updated so go check it out!!

Haul SPAM!!

Okay, I have been putting off blogging until I unpacked! Sorry :( And the day I want to start up again... BLOGGER IS DOWN. :( It was all in all a very depressing day. But I have some awesome posts planned so stay tuned :)

For today I figured I would post pictures of all of the hauls I have had in the past two weeks. And you might say, how many hauls could you possibly have? Well....a lot. I truly am addicted haha :)

Warning: PIC HEAVY :)

First, A picture of what I came home to from college....


Yes, they are all polishes :D  Don't judge me!! :)

All of the polishes contained in said packages.....


I did not write down all of them, but just comment and I'll look up the name for a certain one :)

Here was an especially awesome package from an awesome ebayer...


My three awesome polishes, PLUS a hand written note, free bottle of Sephora's nail polish remover, Perfume sample, and mini OPI!!! :)

I have no idea what color this is (no name on the bottle), but If you girls recognize it let me know!!


This is a pretty accurate picture of the color.

My new crackles :):):):)



Here is a true testimony to how awesome Zoya is! I received my Zoya Earth Day order and when I opened it, there were six polishes that I did not order!! I talked to customer service and told them what happened. They shipped my correct order out right away and let me keep the ones I received in error!! I got to get more Zoya and they are all beautiful! I just never would have gotten them myself!!

Here is my haul from the Earth Day order....

A Thank You, A Polish Haul, and A Test

Happy Tuesday!! Well for me it is :) Easter break starts tomorrow!! 
Well onto the blog post now, there is a lot of stuff I want to share haha :)
First, thank you sooooo much to my followers, I love and appreciate all of you <3

Second, Look at my awesome polish haul from yesterday!!

At college it is awesome to get a package in the mail, and yesterday I got TWO!!! 
So from left to right:
Orly Space Cadet
Zoya Norra
Zoya Areej
Zoya Demi
Zoya Kamilah
Zoya Beyonnce
Zoya Eve
Zoya Lindsay
Zoya Hayden
Zoya Vanessa
Mode Jaded
Mode Arsonist

I'm super excited to try them all but I must say that having so many options makes me reluctant to pick any of them :( so I will probably have my roommate pick one or just choose with my eyes closed haha

Alright and third, I have been having a lot of problems with my nails peeling and so I picked up a bottle of Sally Hansen's Hardening Continuous Treatment. The polish is slightly creamy and opaque but you could definitely put it over top another polish without ruining the look. I am using it as a base coat for now....


Ew gross I know, bare nails. And they are all different lengths, but I figured to track how well this works I should refrain from cutting them down for now. The box said that in 10 days my nails would be noticeably harder and thicker. So I'll take daily pictures and post them all on the 10th day.


P.S - I wrote down allll of the nail polish I have and their names so look for my stash to be updated soon!
