Tuesday, January 29, 2013nail a college drop out
Holo leopard print mani? Say what? What. Slightly over a year ago I did this fierce little mani and decided to do it over, but only better! What's the 411 on these nails? Seriously though, all incredibly cheesy and out dated references aside, want to know how I achieved this look? Thumb: Wet n Wild Wild Shine Black Creme —best black nail polish ever btw!

Bad Bytch In My Monte Carlo

Sunday, January 27, 2013nail a college drop out
Every now and then I feel like being a complete bad ass. Since I'm an avid SUV and Lockup Raw watcher, I have some idea as to what goes on in prison and have absolutely no intentions of being about that life. However, it isn't a crime to have bad ass nails! How did I grace my nails with so much bad ass you could shake a stick...

butter LONDON Sweetie Shop Spring 2013: Jasper, Cuppa, & Fiver

Tuesday, January 22, 2013nail a college drop out
Today I've got half of butter LONDON's Spring 2013 collection. Jasper is described as an opaque bright yellow pastel creme. Is it opaque? Yes, after four streaky finicky coats. This is most certainly the problem child of the bunch. Cuppa is described as a toasted opaque tan creme. I love it! Out of three pieces from this collection I own it's my favorite. It wasn't streaky and reached...

A few nights ago I was up way way way past my bedtime, deciding on exactly what I wanted to do with my nails. The hours ticked by and the land of sleep was calling out my name like it's towns people were crying out for their long lost queen. I wanted something simple yet fantastic. Something awesome yet nowhere near time consuming. Not to mention I wanted...

Do You... Like Nails?

Monday, January 07, 2013nail a college drop out
Last week I was on my lunch break doodling in my handy dandy sketchbook. This weekend I finally fulfilled aforementioned doodle! I originally planned to do this mani with warm colored neons, but as you can see, I changed my mind. While I was editing these photos my nails seemed kind of acid trippy (pretty sure "trippy" isn't a word) thus I began singing "Do You..." or maybe...

Tuesday, January 01, 2013nail a college drop out
Last Saturday the mailman came and dropped of a package. My mom placed in my room and didn't even bother to ask what it was. In true nail blogger fashion I opened it, posted a pic on Instagram, and eventually did some nail art with it. In. That. Order. What on earth is on my nails you ask? Altered Reality, Split Perso-NAIL-ity, and Modify Me. How did I...
