Back on schedule

Hey all. Ok I know I said I would post last night but these 2 jobs are really getting to me. Don't get me wrong. I do love working at both places. I just feel like that is all I do. Welcome to adulthood right? BLECH!

Anyways since I was doing clinicals every Tuesday and now I'm not, I can change my polish more :) Yay! Here are two posts and then you will be caught up to what I have on my nails right now. (That will be a surprise to the end of the post)

First one I did was exactly like the one I have done before. First I used Jesse's Girl Babycakes and then taped off the sides painted Pure Ice in white and Konaded the leopard print on with Wet and Wild black.



I really like this design so that is why I repeated it. I wont lie to you. It will probably not be the last time you see it either. :)

OK! Onto the next design...

I do Harris Poll surveys every now and again and I let my points build up so that I could get a $20 gift card from Amazon. Guess what I bought? RIGHT! Nail polish. I needed more topcoat so I bought two of those, plus I got China Glaze Aquadelic, OPI Dating a Royal, and LA Girl Glitter Uninhibited. I also ordered a nail polish that is on my fingers right now and I will give you a hint at the end of the post.

So for these nails I had on China Glaze Aquadelic which is a really pretty blue color. Or aqua. Ha! And then I put some of the black glitter, which I have been DYING to have, over it.


Isn't it a pretty combo??


I LOVE black and aqua together and I received many complements on it. Though some were confused as to how the black shatter (from OPI) could do something like that. :)

Ok so I have been on the waiting list for this stuff for a while now. I seriously gave up. One night I was laying awake and my phone went off telling me it was back in stock. I went to the website as fast as I could and their server was down. No matter which way I refreshed, it wouldn't let me in. So I gave up. Right before I turned my laptop off and went to bed, I decided to check one more time. Guess what? I got it :D I was so excited I couldn't believe that I was getting it (I'm super lame. I know) but I am happy. Ready for your hint?

Love this stuff so far :D

P.s. Tell your friends about Fancy Phalanges because when I hit the 50 followers mark I'm going to have a giveaway!!!

Better late than never?

Ok I know it has been a long time but I have a really good excuse. Well... maybe not good but acceptable. Anyways, here is the new stuff that you have missed. (not nail related) I was dogsitting 2 dogs for a week which kept me really busy because one dog could stay alone but the other one couldn't but the one that couldn't was mean. Whew! Oh and... I got a job. It's really easy and it is fun. Selling shoes and North Face stuff and outdoor stuff too. So besides that I was doing school plus a clinical that was 45 miles away. So besides ALL of that I got another job doing reception and registration at the hospital so I have been starting my orientation there so besides that I am STILL doing school, the other job, and clinicals. So I have been keeping myself really busy. However, luckily for all of you I have still been doing my nails and taking pictures. These are going to be very descriptive since this beginning was so if you want to know what I did just ask:
 This was OPI I have a herring problem with OPI Pirouette My Whistle
 I am pretty sure I used China Glaze Turned up turquoise but I am not positive. Then I taped off the ends and put white down the middle. Taped them again and konaded black leopard across the top.
 This was my Easter Mani and it had many different pastels and designs. If you really want to know I will explain it but otherwise just look at the pretty pictures :)
I got a bunch of florescent colors from Amazon and I used the blue, pink, and yellow colors and they turned out pretty fun so I water marbled them.
Ok and finally this is what I have on my nails right now. What I did was paint my nails with the holographic Claire's color glamorous, and then scotch taped around and painted with my new Nubar Teal Glitter.

Ok so now I am pretty sure you are caught up with all of my nail things but now you get to know what I have bought in these past weeks. First I FINALLY got an Iphone which I love. Second I bought these:
Which are super fun and very comfy, and I bought this ring from Claire's
(on the right) It's a pineapple!!

I hope you all are doing well still. I promise I wont get behind again but bare with me ad I finish up this semester.

Dotted Taped Mani

Hey all!
I hope you all had a great week. Mine has been pretty awesome. I got a job and I got an iPhone :) Yay! I like that this place doesn't care what is on my nails. That means more fun for everyone!

So for this mani I started with this hot pink black light polish from Claire's. I honestly have no idea what the name is. So then I taped diagonally and painted black with Wet and Wild Black Cream. After all of that dried, I took my smallest dotting tool that wasn't a point and then did the black dots on the pink area and the pink dots on the black area.


 I messed up in a few places but overall I really liked this design.


I hope you all enjoy this and I will add another post soon. Enjoy your weekend!

p.s. Go and see the hunger games. It is AMAZING (almost as good as the book)

Polka dot french

Hey all! Happy Monday :)

I saw this manicure on one of the sites that I follow and I dont remember what one so if you happen to see it let me know. Anyways I started out with China Glaze For Audry. Then I used my scotch tape to make a diagonal line and painted it with Wet N Wild Black Cream. After I put on a coat of SV, I used Pure Ice Superstar with my dotting tool and then put a stripe of white using the Kiss Nail stripper. Then I topped it off with my Essie top coat.


I like it and everything but I wish the stripe across was more straight. It's a cute idea but I need to have a steadier hand.


I hope you all enjoy this.

I seriously CANT wait until I can do my St. Patrick's day mani that I am planning. Nothing fancy but I am excited about it.

Hope you all have a good week!!

Nail pics from my phone part 1

So the quality of these pictures are super crappy but I can't find the charger for my camera.. So until then you can browse these and I will be using my boyfriend's camera. Anyways, here is the first mani I did with scotch tape. I used a black for the base and for the diagonal part I used a Pure Ice color. Not sure offhand of what it is but if you're dying to know I'll find it...

 So this next mani I have to say I saw on Chloe's Nails and thought it was beautiful so I tried it as well.

The next two I also saw from Chloe's Nails and decided to try.. The second one is my favorite mani EVER.


I am pretty sure I found this one off of Chloe's nails as well but I dont remember. Sorry if it was :(

These next two are super similar. I prefer the one with the black and the pink with white but the other one works as well. I used tooth picks for these two as well.


The next two are my checkered manis.. they are fun and sexy and I get a lot of complements on them.

This was kind of long so I'll add another post with the other half.. Enjoy :)
