Ah yes, Art Dealer Chic Week continues with inspiration from the joys that are daytime television. Don't know how daytime television correlates to Art Dealer Chic Week? Tuesday Miguel preformed Adorn on Ellen. Because I was at work when it aired (and I'm the last person on earth not to have DVR) I found myself watching it on YouTube. I originally had something else in mind for day...

Better late than never. But never late is better. Right? Never thought I'd see the day where I would make reference to a song by Jimmy from Degrassi, but the quote seemed rather tailored to the occasion because this post is being typed at 2:30am on a Thursday. Now let's get back into Art Dealer Chic Week! As the title suggests, day three of Art Dealer Chic Week...

Yes my lovely readers. You guessed it. Art Dealer Chic Week continues with imagery from the video for Adorn. How can anyone not instantly love this song? If you're anything like me, the first thing you wondered when you saw the video was, "why the hell does this chick have stockings on her head?" No? Just me? Alrighty then, let's move on and ignore my comment about the...

A few days ago I made an announcement via Facebook that "I'm really really really really excited about a series I'm starting Monday." Well its Monday so here's this week's theme, Art Dealer Chic! The goal? Simple. Five posts, Monday through Friday, which are all inspired by/conceived to the music and/or imagery of Mr. Art Dealer Chic himself, Miguel. All introductions (and fawning over a man I'll never...

Today I called in sick at work. Am I sick? Not exactly, but I was far too exhausted from cranking out a twelve hour shift yesterday to crawl out of bed for another twelve hour round of servicing mortgages. Pretty sure you're not supposed to tell anyone when you are playing hooky. But um.... YOLO? What does this have to do with anything?? Nothing really. But I finally...

Last week I had the idea that I was going to paint my nails gold and lime green. Only to have the same thought interrupted by, "Hey! I'm going to do a water marble!" Time came and went and finally I said to myself, "You know Briana, there's no time like the present and you should really knock this off of your designs to try list." Little did...

What on earth should a young woman like myself be doing on a Saturday night? Well, whatever that is, I'm definitely sitting in front of my desktop typing this post. Anyway, let's try and get back to the topic at hand. NAIL POLISH!  Most of you may know that I love absolutely Icing nail polish and I figured I should try and get as many Icing converts as...

Let's just assume you're still wearing crackle polish. Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Now, let's assume you were one of many lacquer heads who flocked to malls, salons, and drug stores alike to buy it. Okay. One more assumption, I promise (maybe). Now let's assume you seldom ever wear it. Now we're on the same page I've decided I'm going to make the attempt...

Alrighty folks, I'm typing this post at 3am with full knowledge that I have be up for work at 6. So please bear with me as I might make several failed attempts at humor, sarcasm, and sexual innuendo. With that being said... LET'S TALK POLISH! By now you all know I love me some neons! So I shouldn't really need to explain why I love this mani so...

A little over a month ago I finally got off of my lazy ass and bought a sketch book. It was the best ten non polish or food related bucks I'd spent in awhile. The first sketch in it is of the nails you're about to see today. If you follow me on Instagram (@DropOut_Nails) and/or Twitter you've probably seen these already.  Wondering what CMYK is? Well here...
