No Nails Today, Just an Update

Hey everyone! I'm sorry that I have no nails for you today, I completely ruined them at work yesterday. I was re-organizing a lot of files in hanging folders and it took a huge toll on my nails. 5 of them either really chipped or broke off almost completely. :( So sometime today I will take the painful action of shortening them all, which make me really sad. I also cut my cuticles a lot moving these files (keep in mind I moved thousands of files yesterday, it took me 5 hours to reorganize them all) and got some cuts on my arms. Who knew that moving files could be so hazardous? So yeah, my hands are in really rough shape. I have some backlogged pictures of swatches that I will be sharing, which should give me enough time to get my hands into okay shape again. Sorry about that everyone!

In other news I have tons of homework to get done this weekend and I have to study for a final that I have in the middle of next week. Fun times. I am locking myself in my apartment all weekend lol! After my music class is over hopefully I will have a lot more time on my hands to actually do my nails more than a couple of times a week. Anything big going on in your lives? :)

Hair Dyed Nail Polish?

Hi everyone! I wanted to make a quick fun post about something I discovered the other day. I only had some week-old nail stregthener on my nails when I decided to dye my hair its trademark red color. When I finished washing the dye out of my hair, I noticed that my nails looked stained! I had forgotten that I had put nail stregthener on my nails and I thought that I had stained the crap out of them. Turns out that my natural nails were fine, but the dye had stained the strengthener. I took this picture in kind of crappy lighting and after a day it had faded significantly, but you can still see it a bit, especially if you look at the cuticle gap. I don't know, I just thought it was something funny to share! :)

Did You Miss Me? Maybe?

Hi everyone! I am so sorry that I was gone for so long (almost a month!) but my life is finally settling down a bit and I can get back to my favorite hobby. So this post is going to be an update on my life and my nails, but the real nail posts will begin tomorrow.

So after I got through the craziness of my finals, I had to pack all of my things and wait patiently for housing to tell me to move. That week I started my new summer job as a secretary, and then that Wednesday I was told to move at 5pm. In the rain. Fantastic. So I get my key from the guy and I asked him to double check to see if it was the right room because it looked wrong. He gave me a snotty tone and said it was right. I spent all night hand-moving all of my things to the new room bcause I have no car, it took about 6 hours. After everything was moved, I found out that I had been placed in a male suite. Fantastic. So I spent the next day moving again to the room that I was supposed to be in. It was a complete nightmare. Then I started my summer classes and that has been keeping me busy too.

Moving my nail polish was quite the trek, below are the pictures of them after the move and then there are corresponding pictures of them re-organized. Nothing got broken thank goodness (I would have cried) but it looked like a hot mess. The nail polish melmer is now stored under my bed because it being on top of my flimsy bookcase was not a good place to put it. I like it there, and I have more room to spread out when I polish my nails and toes.

All of that moving also took a huge toll on my nails, they pretty much all chipped or snapped off, which is a big reason why I haven't been posting. They still aren't great, but at least they are even and a reasonable length now. I feel like I can take pictures of them at least lol. They are still rounded, but I hope to square them back off soon. I have literally been so busy that my no-buy lasted much longer than I thought, in fact I just bought nail polish for the first time since the end of February. How did I survive for so long? Needless to say I picked up a few of the pretty China Glaze Poolside polishes, I got Pool Party, Kiwi Cool-ada, and Flip Flop Fantasy. I am trying really hard not to go overboard, so three for now will be just fine. ;)

So all in all, I am ridiculously excited to be back in the community again, I missed you all so much!!! I feel so out of the loop and I am sorry that I have missed so much of what has been going on. The plans for the near future are to have a giveaway soon, to post some backlogged swatches, and to swatch some of the polishes of my roommates in my apartments, they all love nail polish too. They think I have too many polishes..... because I do, but they have a lot of colors that I don't have that I would love to swatch for all of you! Yay! Thank you guys for sticking with me while I have been away, I hope that you continue to enjoy my ramblings and the blog! :)

Taking a Short Break, I'll Be Back Soon!

Hi everyone! Due to the 5 difficult final exams that I have to take this week in addition to starting a new job and the fact that I can be forced to move my belongings to a new dorm room at any time, I have decided that I will not be posting on this blog until either Friday or Saturday. I am just too busy to do my nails, and frankly they are a hot mess right now anyways. I do not have time to take pictures and edit and write. Sorry guys, I feel bad because I am typically so good about posting consistently every single day. I hope that you understand that I am busy and that I will be back very soon. On a good note, I am almost better from that nasty cold I had last week. I don't feel sick anymore but I am still coughing. Once I am back and settled and in a groove with my new dorm room and classes and such; I plan on having a giveaway! Yay! So be on the lookout for that probably later this month.

If you really miss me, I do have a post scheduled for 1pm MDT on my piercing blog and you can check out that blog if you are interested. I may need to put off Thursday's post on that blog until Friday. I am also planning on checking my twitter page (@gildedangel) occasionally if you need to ask me a question or contact me. I have been having some minor troubles with my e-mail account so contacting me on Twitter will be best.

Again, I'm sorry that I won't be posting. I hope that you can forgive me for it. I will talk to you all the weekend! I love you all! <3
