Today was such a great day, I just felt happy and relaxed so I felt what better time than to deep clean the house... So I pretty much spent my day cleaning everything in sight... I clean the house so well I don't even remember where I put half of my husbands things go figure lol. But while cleaning I came across my high school year book(you know the book that you just have to go through every time you see it yet you wish you would lose it) but looking at it's cover and seeing the mascot which Dunnellon's was a tiger yay tigers I thought it would be really awesome to see if I could get the design on my nail so this is what I ended up with.

Yea the eye of the tiger dont mine the lint and fuzz on the nails I was in the middle of cleaning... yea i'm kinda scatter brained like that at times lol. But I figured I'd do the eye of the tiger since that was also the schools theme song... how original right...or not but what can you say it was high school for some the best years of our lives for others not so much. Anyways I liked how it turned out and it wasn't as hard as I thought just an eye, some sponging(I really like sponging) and some strips, then for the rest of the nails strips I didn't want to go over board and end up with 10 eyes only thing is I had to do this twice because I realized when I took the pictures the eyes where backwards lol. But other than all of that I can see myself totally rocking these nails more often I'll probably try another animal... hmm what animal should I try next.... maybe a peacock? So that's the question what animal would you totally dedicate your nails to?

Today hasn't been a very cheery day I'm sick, I live in Florida you know the state that doesn't have Christmas because it's 80 degrees and it's sunny... I miss my winters I use to live in Bremington Washington about 45 minutes outside of Seattle where we'd get alot of snow, so it's a bit of a warp. So today is  just one of those off days where it's cloudy and rainy and hot all in one. I like it better when it's just down pouring better to read and sleep in. So since it was icky I decided to add a little color to my day... Or alot and since I don't feel good I figured I'd just fake feeling amazing and give myself an amazing mani.

 So I started by putting a base coat on my nails then I painted my nails with one coat white you know just to give myself a canvas and to make the colors *pop* more, I only used one coat because even if it's streaky the color is going to cover it. You want the polish to dry before anything else because you want your colorful polish to stick when you sponge it on. After that I gathered all my bright cheerful colors together and took my eye shadow applicators and started sponging the colors randomly on my nails(and everything around my nails which is okay because you can easily clean it up). You don't have to use an eye shadow applicator you can also use a makeup sponge just rip it in little pieces and take the little piece and sponge on the nail polish using the jagged edge that way when you sponge  on the nail polish it's not sponging on square.

So now is when you want to clean up your cuticles I use a ear cleaner and just dipped it in nail polish remover and cleaned away the extra nail polish. After that I started the fun part and started painting zebra strips on my newly colorful nails.

After my zebra strips I re-cleaned my cuticles , but here's my favorite part you can either leave it like this and put on a glossy finish or you can always add a lil' something more.

Now my cloudy day doesn't seem so grey. So question do you paint your nails to reflect your mood?

I got inspired by  Heather she's having a birthday giveaway and when I was looking at her Pinterest pictures I kept looking at the pink candy/sprinkle rimmed martini glasses and it gave me an idea to do pink with pocka dots on my nails I couldn't help myself. It's a work in progress before I get a design I like but I'll keep working on it. So question what gives you inspiration when your trying out different designs... speaking of which  Kitties26  at More Nail Polish is having a Lynnderella nail polish contest, but you have to work for it and make a nail design and your inspiration for it for I'm working on it because I love Lynnderella's nail polish plus I haven't been able to get my hands on one =( what I would do for one anyways hit up her blog and check it out.
