Day 9: Rainbow

Hello again! For the rainbow theme, I decided to go with gradient again (I was going to cheat and count this for day 9 and 10, but then I got butter LONDON's No More Waity, Katie, so I decided to gradient that instead).

Rainbow time!

This picture was taken in flash (sorry for blinding you with my whiteness!). I also tried to crop it more, but my software wouldn't let me! Grrrr. It is a little hard to see the red and orange differentiation, but I tried... 

You can see the red/orange difference much better here. But, the blue/purple kind of blend. 

This is probably the best picture of them all! 

Close up of my thumb! :)

There we have it: ROY. G. BIV. This manicure did remind me of school in that aspect... Learning about the colors of the rainbow using the name ROY G. BIV. Unfortunately, Indigo did not join us. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Violet sure did! :)

Day 5: Blue

Day 5 has finally arrived for the blog! I didn't get many pictures of this, but, as I said earlier, abysmal weather has taken its toll this winter (it's more like spring, to be honest). However, at the time of this manicure, our area was being hit with its first legitimate "cold snap". So, the blue manicure was well-timed. Matched my blue lips, haha. Brrrr...

Looking at this manicure still makes me cold, actually.

There we have it! I'm currently wearing purple right now, but, it's on its last legs. I'm going through pictures right now. My purple post should be up later today, hopefully! It's a BEAUTY! I LOVE the combination I did!

I'm back!

Hello readers!

I've decided it was a good time for me to update the ol' blog before I got too far behind. School has started and, while having time every now and then to paint my nails and take pictures, it's a different thing entirely to be able to crop, edit, etc. pictures. Also, the weather has just been terrible, and there has been ZERO sunshine to bring out the "pretty" in my pretties! :(

Without much introduction for this one, it was my 2011 National Championship mani for football. The University of Alabama Crimson Tide was hosted by the Louisiana State University Tigers. Well, my significant other is an avid Alabama fan (I myself am a Florida State University Seminole fan). I went for the Tide on his behalf, and, okay, they are kind of my 2nd favorite team; I must say though, they are 2nd favorite waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay behind my 'Noles. :)

So much for "without much introduction"... Haha. I have one picture of this mani and one picture of the "ingredients". Alabama's colors are crimson and white. They're also known for their hounds-tooth pattern. Enjoy!

For some reason, I used two. Most likely an experiment, but I fail to remember the results. Oops!

Day 2 - Orange Nails

Okay, so, I may have cheated a bit. I used this "orange" day for Thanksgiving. It's seasonal and appropriate, I thought. But, I also think I'm a bit of a cop out... I DESPISE the color orange, haha.

Here we are though...
