shellac.

I bought myself a shellac kit for my birthday.

Love it.

Worth it.

I am so hard on my hands at my job that this is my only chance for nails that won't crack and break!

I got my kit at Walgreens, on sale, so it was an awesome deal! It even comes with a color to start out with.

My first shellac!

I've definitely gotten better - it can be really tricky when you first start because you cannot get any on your cuticle/skin or there it will stay!

For your viewing pleasure...

tried doing just tips! 

The current nail craze happening is well... crazy! People have no limits on what the can and will do to their nails!

What do you like?

The bare nail?
One classic color?
The accent nail?
Glitter mania?
Jewels and 3D art?
Crazy detailed designs?
Or do you give up and just bite them off? ; )

twenty - seven.

Well, Husby and I are closer to being old farts.

I was snowed in on my birthday - thanks weather!- but managed to ice walk to our neighbor friend Micah's house were we had a birthday brunch. Then we were crazy and trekked out with chains on their car to get birthday donuts!

Birthday donuts!

Giant biscuit birthday brunch!

Then when the weather returned to normal I got a shellac kit (more about that later) and a RASKOG. My sweet little cart will get its own post one day. I love it.

For Husby's birthday I got him all the components to make an Old Fashioned, his drink of choice, and the first Walking Dead Compendium.

A book Ron Swanson would be proud to own.
