Born Pretty Store, Essie, Nail Art, Sephora by OPI, Serum No 5, Sinful Colors, water decals

It’s still freezing!

2 coats Sephora by OPI Go My Own Way as my base.

1 coat Essie On a Silver Platter on my ring finger.

1 coat Sinful Colors Nail Junkie over all nails. It is an extremely sheer jelly and sort of turned the Sephora polish a little more turquoise. I love how it looks on the ring finger.

1 coat Serum No 5 Happy Special Day!

Decal from Born Pretty Store. I was a little nervous about how it would look because the colors did not match but it came out really cute!

Born Pretty Store, Essie, Nail Art, Sinful Colors, water decals, Zoya

I do not usually do blue polishes but I am really feeling them right now!

2 coats Essie Naughty Nautical as my base.

A generous coat of Zoya Maria Luisa on all fingers except ring.

I used a large dotting tool on the middle of each nail with Essie No Place Like Chrome.

Sponged the tips with Zoya Crystal and Sinful Colors Nail Junkie.

Decal from Born Pretty Store!

Essie, freehand, Julie G, Nail Art, Sephora by OPI, sugar-spun, Zoya

Arctic Brrrrr! The good thing about walking dogs in the cold is they enjoy the cold even less than I do and they take as little time as possible to do their business! Woot!

I went with something simple today. Apologies on the horrendous photo…I could not for the life of me find good lighting or snap a good photo (not sure why but it came out really grainy) 😦

I really like the manicure so I decided to post it anyways!

3 coats Zoya Crystal as my base.

I dabbed a generous amount of Sephora by OPI Jewelry Top Coat Lights, Glammer-A, Action! on the tips and a little down the middle of the nail.

I “sugar-spun” with Julie G White Orchid and Essie No Place Like Chrome.

Hi, my name is Monica and I have RA.

Where’s Monica?

depression, hiatus, nails, rheumatoid arthritis

Ohhh boy. My blogging hiatus:

After I got out of the hospital, I felt awful.

Then New Year’s came around. I hate New Year’s. This is the depressive part of me because why celebrate the start of a new year when the last two years have really sucked? Thankfully, that mood has passed since the 1st!

And the best part! I started working at the animal clinic again and I got an awful cold/dry burn on my hands and three nails broke! I could not even file them down they just broke all the way down in the corners so I had to wait for them to grow back. I would love to say I can finally start painting my nails again!

Unfortunately, while my nails are finally healthy again, my skin is not. I have tried everything to get rid of the patches and to no avail! So I apologize, in advance, for any discoloration on my hands!
