<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I posted this picture on Instagram but decided to post it here as well. I was just going to do Frankenstein nails but I saw someone do Bride of Frankenstein nails and thought it was so cute, I just had to do it! I can't remember where I saw it though. Here's what I did :) </span></div>

I know I said I was going to try to keep up with my blog this time. But the reason why I couldn't blog is because I was in Hawaii for 2 weeks. My boyfriend is stationed there so he bought be a ticket to visit him :) It was a fun, memorable trip especially since my sister and two of my really good friends, Lora and Ron came also. But this trip to Hawaii was the most memorable because he proposed! :) I had no idea he was going to so I was totally surprised. Here are a few pictures my sister took.</span><br />

This is one I did a looonng time ago, I can't even remember when. I used OPI Ski Teal We Drop then used Konad image plates m37 for the flowers and m36 for the butterfly with China Glaze 2030 as my stamping polish :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Three posts in a period of one week?? That must be a record for me! :P Here's Zoya Harley as my base color. Even though Harley has a bit of shimmer to it, I decided to add a layer of China Glaze Fairy Dust for extra sparkle. Next, I used Zoya Kelly to stamp the zebra pattern from Konad image plate m57. I couldn't resist and added a large silver rhinestone to my ring fingers. Although I love zebra print, black and white zebra print can sometimes be a little too bold for me. These colors give it a softer look.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Purple is one of my favorite colors so I have a lot different shades of purple nail polish! One of the purples I own is OPI Rumple's Wiggin'. I liked how light and clean it looked so I decided to use white Konad stamping polish. I also placed purple rhinestones in the middle of the flowers (Konad plate m29).</span></div>

The school where I student teach has spring break this week but I still have to go to my classes at csulb and do homework. I wish I could take a break from both at the same time. This semester has been so busy, which is why I hardly ever blog. Anyway, here are few pictures from MONTHs ago! :P </span><br />

I started student teaching and I'm taking two classes so I haven't been able to blog or read other blogs. I haven't even been able to do konad night with my friends :( I just do them whenever I can. Anyway, I'm still really behind and have pictures from last year! This one is from October. My friend Ria had a Minnie Mouse themed party for her daughter's first birthday. I used OPI Extravagance as my base color and used silver rhinestones to make Mickey's head.</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Im sure many of you know who <a href="http://thriszha.blogspot.com/">Thriszha</a> from Fab Your Nails is and how creative her nail art is. Last year in April, she created a full nail design using a small pattern and stamping it twice. I loved it so much, I had to try it myself. Although I read her post about it in April, I didn’t do it til September. When I did my nails, I remembered the pattern she used but not the color. I didn’t realize til later that I used a similar color :P Anyway, here’s how mine turned out.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

I also added silver rhinestones to the flowers. I didn't realize how uneven my application was until I took this picture in sunlight. And of course, our picture from konad night :)</span><br />

Anyway, I'm back with a quick post. I'm so far behind, I'm just now sharing nails I did the first week of September. A really good friend of mine had a cupcake theme party for her daughter's first birthday. I didn't have the konad plate with the cupcakes on it so my sister decided to look up cupcake nail art. Her favorite one was <a href="http://www.rina-alcantara.com/2010/08/nail-art-cupcakes.html">Rina's</a> cupcake nails so she decided to go with that. I thought they were super cute too so I did it also :) It was our first time attempting to freehand so we just did accent nails. Sha used China Glaze Light as Air and Spontaneous and I </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">used China Glaze Something Sweet and Orly Prince Charming. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">felt like it was incomplete so I used my Sally Hansen nail art pen to draw some hearts. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Here are the pictures ..

School's keeping me busy. It's only been a month since the semester started but I already feel like I need a break. I miss summer! :P Anyway, back in August I went to Vegas for a few days for my cousin's bachelorette party. I wanted something that would match most of my outfits, which were mostly black, so I chose China Glaze Jitterbug. I used a full nail design from plate m60 with black stamping polish. I know it looks like I messed up on my middle finger but I actually messed up on my pinkie. I started stamping at my thumb and tried to alternate the direction of the design but forgot to turn the image around when I got to my pinkie. I didn't even realize it til a few days after I took the picture.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br />

Now you know how far behind I am in posting pictures! I used Essie Splash of Grenadine, Konad white polish and image plate m26. At the time, I didn't own this plate and borrowed my friend's. I ended up liking the plate so much, I bought my own a few days after :) Luckily, I live about 15 minutes away from a store that sells konad. The only time I ordered online was the first time I bought my Konad set. After that, I looked at the Konad </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">website and found a store called JK Emporium in Torrance, CA. I've been going there for over a year now and I love going there. The guy that's usually there is really friendly and very helpful. When a plate you want is out of stock, he'll order it right way and you'll have it within a few days. I also really like the fact that I can see the actual plates and go home with it if I decide to buy it! No waiting for it to be mailed! So if you live in the area, you should go there to buy your plates and polishes :)</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Ok, that's all for now.

But I wanted to do a quick post before starting my reading assignments. Here I used OPI Hot and Spicy, a bright orange color. I don't normally wear orange but I liked this one. For the flowers I used konad plate m3 and stamping polishes white, red, and an old bottle of white mixed with yellow. The red is kind of hard to see and the pastel yellow almost looks white in the picture but they're more noticeable in person.</span></span></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4n2wviX6psii9cuZ1Q2x0FJldPzdUw-GSYnY4m-DwgW9ANzvDKVWyma4_Wlpt2YCRu3eQ83R3wEbhDqIxLXhSyizJzaT34ZFXEvghz0hGbRhCU_vo56UMn5oN3yZ7iyR32E41Cs7eeSk/s1600/P1030250_resize.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4n2wviX6psii9cuZ1Q2x0FJldPzdUw-GSYnY4m-DwgW9ANzvDKVWyma4_Wlpt2YCRu3eQ83R3wEbhDqIxLXhSyizJzaT34ZFXEvghz0hGbRhCU_vo56UMn5oN3yZ7iyR32E41Cs7eeSk/s320/P1030250_resize.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511778856500518130" /></a><br /><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">That's all I have for now.
