Nicole's Nubbins

Happy 2013 polished peeps!!  I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and a fabulous New Years!  I've had a very relaxing two weeks off, it's officially over today - sad face.  Back to earning a living - ugh.

I've been having so much trouble growing my nails lately, I've considered changing the name of my blog to Nicole's Nubbins - full disclosure and all that!!  After taking off this mani, I had a break of my already short nails, so I had to chop them all off again - argh, so frustrating  especially after having such a successful summer of long beautiful nails!  I've even considered getting acrylics, but I want my natural nails to be healthy, and acrylics tend to do a number on your natural nails, so I'm staying away from those for now.  I want stiletto nails so badly, I love the look, but it's not happening here anytime soon!

I'm on a roll with trying to improve my stamping skills, plus I've been having major challenge withdrawals, so I haven't been all that inspired to do major nail art.  If you know of any challenges, let me know, I'm so down for the get down.  Kimber from Kimber's Lacquer Corner is hosting the ABC challenge shortly and I'll be doing that, but it's only a once a week deal and I'm committing to posting Monday, Wednesday and Friday, so I need to fill up two more days!

  1. Sorry your nails keep breaking! I hate when I would go through spells like that! I have a small break in my pinky right now, I'm just hoping ORLY will save it. I love the colors in this mani too :)

  2. LOL re: Nicole's Nubbins. Yeah, you and I should just buy up our nubbins domains now, cause this winter has been hell on my talons, too.

    Despite the shortened length, you did a yeoman's job, Nicole. Very sweet stamping job (love the little added dots of jazzy stuff).

    FYI, I just started using OPI Nail Envy...AND....Essie Feed Me, in the hopes that I'll get some growth going here. Will let you know how it works.

    Later, gator.

  4. Don't get acrylics... short nails are cute!! :) My nails are growing just fine lately, but the problem I'm having with WINTER (booo!) is that my cuticles are so dry and the new cuticle oil that I was trying seemed to just dry them out worse. I was so disappointed. Now I've gone back to my regular cuticle treatment and they're better but mannn there for a while it was KILLIN me!! I always keep my nails short tho, so maybe that's why I think they're growing just fine. ;p
