Instead she decided to focus on all things wintery and icy.

I recently discovered Octopus Party Nail Lacquer while browsing Reddit. The colors were magnificently eye-catching. I decided to speak with Dave about his interest in indie lacquer and what inspired his branding. Here's what he had to say:My interest was piqued earlier this year around springtime. I was shopping for a friend's birthday and I decided to get her some nail lacquer. One...
This year, Nina of Model City Polish decided to create a charity polish to benefit her local humane society. $2 from each bottle of Coal purchased will go towards buying food, treats and toys for animals in need. Sorry for the photo spam, but isn't it gorgeous?! The formula was really nice for a jelly. I didn't have to fish for glitter or shift...
I can't think about gingerbread men without simultaneously thinking about Shrek & how much my dad loves gingerbread. Since my dad wouldn't appreciate me putting his picture up on the blog, please enjoy this clip from Shrek: This stamp is from plate 222 from the 2nd Bundle Monster set. My first few attempts at stamping this came out crooked and really irritated me....
If you are just getting back into working out post injury, how should you approach it? I suggest consulting your doctor or physical therapist before easing back into activity. Beyond that it's up to you to use your best judgement.I decided to take things really slow by starting with bodyweight exercises. From there, I worked up to bar weight (or more) when appropriate. If...

Today I have five new colors from Coral at Stags Head Nail Lacquer. I feel as though each color has a hidden theme or meaning. I'm not sure if I figured all of them out, but I have a few hunches. Bug Bite Bug Bite is a rich purple jelly with black glitter. I really dig how bright and attention-getting this shade is....
I spoke with Kirby the other day about nail stamping. I struggled with getting a clean image in the past and had a million questions for her. After getting a ton of help from Kirby, I decided to give stamping another try. I played around with the technique a little bit, and this is what I settled on for Thanksgiving. Supplies used: Wet-n-Wild...
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you who are celebrating today. I could go on a long spiel about who and what I am thankful for, but I am sure we have similar things in mind. Thanksgiving can seem like a bit of a "doomsday" for those of us who are trying to live a healthier life. We work so hard throughout the year to...
Today I have two fun crellies from Cherie at Sinister Benediction. The full collection consists of four colors, Chuck's BikeORama, Spearmint or Fruit, Everyone I Know Has a Big But, and Breakfast Machine. These playful colors are based on Pee Wee's Big Adventure. If you haven't seen the movie before (and you have a semi-twisted sense of humor) I urge you to watch...
