Bright Warm-Toned Squiggly Nail Art Featuring Sally Hansen and Nicole by OPI!

Hey everyone! Today I have some bright squiggly nail art to share!

It looks like I'll probably have a biology research assistant lab job starting next month and I'm so excited y'all! My plan was to start my Master's this September but there is a funding crisis going on in the biochemistry department. All I want to do is lab work so I really hope this job works out! I've met with some lab members and I'll meet with the lab head in September and let you guys know! Life is and has been hard for the last few years but hopefully some good things are coming!

Anyways, onto the nails!

I started off with three coats of NOPI Hit the Lights over my holy grail base coat: Orly Bonder. In real life this polish was still streaky at this point, so I wouldn't recommend it.

Next, I went in with Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Madame X and Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Daquiri on a small nail art brush. A coat of Essie Good to go, some clean up and I was finished!

So what do you guys think of these nails? I'm a big fan of these squiggles! Hope you're all doing okay, happy Tuesday :).

Twelve Looks from the Last Ten Months and a Little Life Update

Hey everyone, long time no talk!

It looks like it has been about 10 months since I last posted on here, wow! A lot has happened in that time including me finishing up the last year of my Bachelor's of Science with Honours in Biochemistry! Other than that, most of what has happened has been really sad and difficult. I don't want to get into it too much because this should be a happy nail place but my dad began emotionally and verbally abusing us over a year ago, using drugs and now he has moved out and my parents are separated. I struggle with depression and anxiety but now that I have some time off from school I have a lot more time for self care and I really want to get into blogging again. If any of you guys ever want to talk about anything I'm here!

Anyways, onto the twelve looks I've done in the last ten months!

Thanks so much for having a look guys! I really hope I keep up with this streak of motivation because I really miss blogging. It's so nice to read through my old posts because it's kind of like a journal so I'd like to continue with it. I hope you are all doing well, happy Thursday!
