These next two weeks are a very busy time in Higher Education- so hang on with me! I'm trying guys!! I did design to look like that sour candy strips candy. I wanted to do different designs because I thought they came with different designs, but nope, they just come with stripes. So they designs are extra bonuses!!  Colors Used: Sally Hansen- Electra- cute Zoya- Jace Funky Fingers- Pop Artist Pacifica-Super Fox What candy do you think I should try next?

**May Contain Press Samples** Another Tuesday is upon us... those bitches are back and I don't even know what to say this week. Well, I do know what to say... I am kind of bored with this season and it sucks. PLL used to be one of my favorite shows and I knew it was going to be like this... oh well. That's what you get when you try to do a repeat! I will continue to do cute red-themed nail art for the remainder of the season because, well, I'm not a quiter!! I've been seeing soooo many cheetah designs that I just had to do some cheetah in my life. Of course, this is the #RedCoatTuesday version.   My only hope is that now that Ezra is back things with him and Aria start to heat up and things start to get interesting again... because this season is a major DUD!! Anyway, Do you watch PLL? What do you think of this season? I just can't! Colors Used : Funky Fingers- Red Rica- Blackout Zoya- Cala

*May Contain Press Samples* We made it!! Tonight we get to find out who A is. I am not going to do a full wrap up for you guys because if you have not watched up until this point, I just can't because there is soooo much going on! I am just going to go full on cray and do a quick synopsis so BEWARE!! THERE ARE SPOILERS BELOW!! I also decided to do a throwback of all of the #RedCoatTuesday designs that I did this year! Enjoy! If you love any of the designs you see here, you can just give them a click and it will bring you to the full post so you can see the colors I used and some more details about the designs themselves.    So, the recap from last week is super crazy like I said. The epsisode was called Too Late to Tell the Truth. Ali was convicted of murder. She was found guilty. Holy Shiiiiizzzz!! I freaked out! Not only was she found guilty but ALL of the liars where also arrested.    That girl Lesli basically sold everyone out. She told the c...

**Some Products Were Provided for Review** --WARNING--SPOILERS AHEAD-- So, we are winding down this season and I am kind of happy about this. This season has been kind of a drag. There has not been that much happening. Well, at least not until these last couple of episodes. Next season, I am going to wait until the last like 4 episodes and then start watching. lol.  From last week: Ali is offered a plea bargain but she doesn't want it because she insists that she didn't kill Mona- Ahem MONA ISN'T DEAD!! But wait, they don't want her to cop to it by herself, they want her accomplice. Apparently, they are building a case against them. Do you think Hannah will look good in orange?? So they yet again try to solve this by themselves- dumb!! First, they try to get to Cyrus and find out who Varjac is but Cyrus had a little setback. A?? Spencer in London is just weird. Her and Melissa are too buddy-buddy for me so I think that will be a problem. It always is! Ezra...

**Nothing to Disclose** This weeks prompts told us to use purple and do some hearts. I am sooo not a Valentine's Day person and I am not sure why, but this is about as close as we are getting to Valentine's Day. I did a huuuuge Lovey Dovey series last year and I loved it because I showed you guys sooo many great products and I did a great giveaway, but this year I kept it small. I'm not one of those love haters, but I just don't care for the holiday. My family does celebrate with a fun little cooking day and we give each other little tokens of love, but that's about it. Nothing big and I'm ok with that.  For this design, I did a bunch of stamping hearts with a couple different plates. I used three different shades of purple which I think all go really well together. Once I put all the stamping together, I matted it all together. I love throwing a matte coat on just about anything and I think it goes really well with this design. What do yo...

**Affiliate Links** So I have been confused about what happened to the 52 Week Challenge and then I finally realized that it has been replaced by the 31 Day Challenge. Just for the remainder of the month, I guess. Well, honestly I don't have time for the 31 Day Challenge so I am going to continue with the 52 Weeker. Double thumbs up to the ladies that are rocking the 31 Day Challenge!! So, this week is Dotting Tools using Pink and Aqua. I think this is pretty similar to last week . The only difference is my nails don't look like some sort of disease took over and swallowed them. I did three shades of purple and it tuned out looking like amoeba. If you are looking for the easy way out for dots, you can pick up nail stickers and you don't have to worry about all of that jazz. I did something similar for Christmas and I really liked it so I decided to do it again but with a little twist. I kind of pulled the dots up in sections to make them go all the way to th...

**Nothing to Disclose**  For this weeks challenge, I have a design that was waaaay better looking in my head. I had this brilliant idea to make this fun design with a purple glitter over a purple base and then do a three layered dot design over it. Yeah, it was better in my head.  I wanted to make this really abstract with different sized dots. Imperfection and craze was what I was going for and I think I got an amoeba looking disease looking thing on my fingers. Haha. Oh well, I made the challenge right? Next weeks prompt will be super interesting. It's something that should be super obvious, but I think it's trickier than it sounds. So, stay tuned to see what I have in store!! Colors Used: Funky Fingers- Sugar Plum Fairy Sinful Colors-Star Dust L'Oreal- The Mystic's Fortune An InLinkz Link-up

For my second design of the Stripes Challenge, I decided to do a distressed look. I went all freehand for these. The colors I chose really made the whole look pop which is funny considering it is distressed and is supposed to be grungy looking. I used a skinny striping brush for most of the lines and built a distressed waterfall with the ManGlaze and glitters to create that distressed look. I really like the way this turned out. It is something that I am not used to doing. When I usually do stripes, I almost always use striping tape or stamps. Stripes to me are straight and perfect. I decided to cute loose for this one and it felt good!! Colors Used: Barielle- Cherish Darling Diva Polish- Anna ManGlaze- Fuggen Ugly Funky Fingers An InLinkz Link-up

This week's challenge for the 52 Week Challenge is to do a 3 Color Gradient with the color Pink. Well, I dug out the 3 oldest pinks I owned and these are what I found... 3 old Funky Fingers. With this gradient I decided to add a little texture fun by doing a couple extra layers and throwing a sponge on top of it. I dabbed a sponge on top of the still wet polish to blend the gradient a little more and to create a textured look. I love this and I think it flows so nicely with the kickoff of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This is the first one that I have gotten around to doing, so I am really glad that this was the theme this week. Next week, we are doing something really crazy and I have no idea how I am going to tie the two themes together. Creativity wheel will have to really be chugging along next week. Colors Used: Funky Fingers- Pop Artist Funky Fingers- Taffy Town Funky Fingers- Queen Cupcake An InLinkz Link-up

It's back!!! We are back for a whole new set Golden Oldies for me to do. I was able to use a lot of my old polishes and this round I have a whole new selection open. This week our task was to use our oldest turquoise colors. I used 3 of my turquoise polishes for this design. A couple months ago (or maybe even last year), I did a turquoise comparison. If you are interested, you can check it out here .  I did just a simple dotted skittle with the Funky Fingers Bizerk Turq as the base. I used two coats to cover up the bald spots.  On top of the base, I used a dotting tool to finish off with China Glaze- Turned Up Turquoise and Sation- Oh My Oceana. I forgot how much I love turquoise and all of the different shades that I have.  What do you think of simple dot designs? I think they look awesome and they are so simple easy to do.  Colors Used: China Glaze- Turned Up Turquoise Sation- Oh My Oceana Funky Fingers- Bizerk Turq ...
