Aggies Do It Better

Hey guys! I have a little bit of a different post today! On my nails is OPI Visions of Love with a heart stud (my first.time.ever. wearing a stud) sent to me by my friend Gianna :) Please click Read more to see why this post is special!  sun  sun

Hey guy! Today is a fun post-these were a "mani swap" with my friend Marcella. The concept is you choose one of each other's mani's and recreate them the best you can! This is the one I chose from her. I didn't have the same polishes she did but I think I did a pretty good job matching them. Y'all know me, if they don't match exactly then I'm not satisfied...these came pretty close. Click Read more for polishes used and more pics!  sun 

Hi! Happy Friday! Today I have another new-to-me technique using homemade polish decals. I did these for a music prompt on Instagram, click Read More to see more pics and why!  clouds

Hey guys! I've been wearing these all week! This mani serves me 2 purposes. One, I looked forever for Mermaid Tears and I finally found it and still didn't wear it for months. That madness stops now! Also, the new OPI Nordic Collection is about to come out, and obviously I wanted alllll of them, then I narrowed it down to 6, then to 4. One of those is very similar to Mermaid Tears. A friend was posting some really awesome comparisons and I realized I have an extremely close cousin or a dupe for each of those 4. Oh the horror! I still probably would have gotten them, but I decided to put that money toward a more long-awaited and long-budgeted for purchase which I just made and I'll let you guys know when they get here! I also was looking for wearing something simple this week. I usually don't wear crèmes for very long because they chip on me after 2 days, but these have been going on 3 days as of last night (when I was typing this) so yay for that! Ok, maybe that's ...

Hey guys! I have another tape mani for you. I don't totally love how this came out, sometimes it just looks better in your head! But I'm continuing my project of trying to catalogue my polishes here and use them! This is is OPI You Only Live Twice from the 2012 James Bond Skyfall collection, another Publix find for me! This is my first time using it and MAN isn't it pretty!! The gold is OPI Love.Angel.Music.Baby from this years Gwen Stefani Collection....old news, I use it all the time haha!  late in day sun

Hey guys! A little nail art today. My kids go back to school this Friday, although only a half-day, so I thought I'd try this! When I first discovered the world of "nail art" it was in the fall 2 years ago and this type of thing was circulating a lot. Notebook paper nails have been on my to do list for 2 years! Can you believe that!! I'm finally forcing my self to tackle all these things I've been meaning to do. Not all turn out great but at least I'm doing it!  indirect sun

Hey guys! Some simple dots today... kind of! These are inspired by my friend Kristin of @ermahgerdperlish  (how hilar is that name). I did these for an extra entry into a little contest she is having!  I didn't have the exact same polishes as she did but I did my best :) Wish me luck! shade

Hey guys! I'm just still working through 2 projects....using all of my polishes I have and documenting them here on the blog (I have many that were used before I relaunched here but they don't count for these purposes) and tackling my long list of different art themes/techniques to try! Feathers have been on my list for a while but I have been quite intimidated to try them. One of the current prompts for the Nail It! Magazine is Feathers, so I thought I'd give it a go. I used all the polishes listed below and some fine detailing brushes sent to me by Winstonia Store . For the final look I used a matte topcoat, which wound up looking much better. I don't totally love these, but I don't hate them either? Meh.   sun
