ahh!

My goodness University is a lot of work! I don't think I've ever mentioned this but I am working toward a BSc in Chemistry, and man oh man is it ever time consuming!
As you can see, the 31 day challenge has been placed on the backburner! :( I hate abandoning my blog but at this point in time, there really is no time!
I actually left my house with chipped polish today! :( Breaks my little nail polish adoring heart to see my nails in such disarray! However, I'm hoping to post this weekend and catch up on my missed days all in one go! We'll see how things turn out!

inspired by a movie

Day twenty three of the 31 Day Challenge, nails inspired by a movie!
Now, I'd love to go on and on and on about how a movie absolutely inspired me. However, that is not the case, I just really really wanted to try this out!
So, I'm gonna use my favorite movie to justify my choice! I aaabsolutely love "P.S I Love You" starring Gerard Butler. Love the storyline, love the movie, looove me some Gerard. So this movie inspired these nails because of how beautiful and green scenic Ireland is! As anyone who has seen this movie knows, Gerard's character Gerry is from Ireland, and Ireland is the place that himself and Holly meet!

Rimmel London "Rags to Riches" 3 coats
Ahhh, so much love! Almost as much love as I have for Gerard Butler. (swoooon)

It's a beautiful shimmery green, with a slight gold microglitter throughout.

Cute bottle too!

So cool!

In addition to today's 31 day challenge post, check out this awesome video!

inspired by a song

Day twenty two of the 31 Day Challenge, nails inspired by a song!
For my song, I picked "Ashes" by Andy Brown, it's definitely one of my top played, even though I just discovered it on Thursday on the newest episode of Rookie Blue! If you haven't heard the song, or watched the show, go do both!!

inspired by color

Day twenty one of the 31 Day Challenge, nails inspired by a color!
For today's manicure I picked teal. This is because September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness month, there's also a wonderful campaign going on called "Teal Toes" which is an awareness campaign set to raise awareness about ovarian cancer and hopefully get the message out there that Ovarian Cancer should not be ignored!

For some reason, this looks really blue on my camera, however, it is teal :)

water marble

Day twenty of the 31 Day Challenge, water marble nails!
I'm gonna be perfectly honest with you, I haate doing water marbles. Haate. Hate, hate.
They never turn out for me, despite my efforts, and I just overall don't like the way they look on me, but I'll post my efforts.

Also, in full disclosure, ring finger and pinky were just painted like that.
