GOT Challenge: Pink!

Good morning, readers! I've decided to participate in a new challenge each week from The Crumpet! You can see more info on Debbie's post. Basically, each Thursday we will post a "Golden Oldie" polish that's at least a year old. We want to give some love to our older polishes that sometimes get stuck in a drawer after their initial welcome into the stash. I think it's a fun idea because I tend to weed out polishes that sit for that long without being used.

This week's prompt is Pink, so I grabbed Hare Atolla!

Nail Art Fail: Crochet Copycat

Hello, readers! Not every nail art idea turns out how I wanted. That's life, right? But I tried so hard on these yesterday that I felt like they deserved a post anyway.

I recently saw this picture from Rebecca Likes Nails on instagram of a square she had crocheted and I told her it would make awesome nail art! So, I tried, and failed, to make it cool nail art.

Tutorial Tuesday: Abominable Snowman Nail Art!

Good morning, readers! It has been forever since I've done a proper Tutorial Tuesday post. Sorry about that! The holidays are crazy around here and with Hailey off of school, there wasn't time to do extra posts like that.

But, I'm back and trying to get into the groove! Since it's pretty much FREEZING all over right now, it seemed like a great idea to do a Yeti/Abominable Snowman tutorial! This design was my VERY FIRST post with The Digit-al Dozen last December and it's still one of my favorites!

Mommy's NOTD: Gradient with OPI Mariah Carey Pure!

Good afternoon, readers! Today's post is about what I'm currently wearing on my nails! Last week, I saw that Ulta had some awesome OPI on clearance about 1/2 off, and OPI Mariah Carey Pure was one that I grabbed! I have wanted it since it came out, but couldn't afford the $30 price tag. It was marked down to $14.99 and I was able to use a $3.50 off coupon! SCORE!!

I decided to layer it over a gradient base of 2 Barry M Gelly polishes: Greenberry and Blueberry!
