This was wayyy harder to do than it should have been.

This was wayyy harder to do than it should have been.  Just sayin'.  😂

These are the nails I wore all week.

These are the nails I wore all week.  I really wanted something bright and perky.  😁

Pardon my dry skin.  This cold, dry air is killing me.  🙁

So sad that I've worn the some paint job for a week now.  I hope I get to paint them again this weekend because this is chipping all off and driving me nuts, but I have an Algebra test to study for so we'll see.  🙂

Not the best photo and also not the most impressive nails.

Not the best photo and also not the most impressive nails.  Honestly, though, just having them done makes me feel happy.  🙂

I didn't really talk about this much when talking about my psoriasis / arthritis, but I very nearly lost my thumbnail (psoriasis will jack you ALL up).  🙁  That is why it's shaped kind of weird (it's almost grown back to normal - yay!), and also one major reason I stopped painting for a while.  I'm not usually easily embarrassed, but that one got me for some reason.  I am not super sure why.

I also noticed that when I tried to do my "look at all my nails" claw my hands don't want to do that anymore.  Most particularly my thumb.  I hate to admit that I hurt it trying to get it to do that... so maybe I'll be doing photos with bottles now.  Or gerbils.  Or lizards.  Hell, I don't know.  What I do know is that despite my arthritis pills my hands have been really sore and I should probably make time in my schedule (somehow!) to get back to the doctor.

Anyway.  I'm going to try to do my nails at least once a week.  It makes me happy and I should take some time out for just me.  You know - to keep sane while I'm doing all of this other stuff.  ❤

In Munford at the old high school. Selling my wares. Nice to be back! 🙂

Steampunk-ish nails! I've been wanting to use the gear stamping plate and this glitter polish from Loaded Lacquer for a long time and I finally got around to doing it. Woo!

Clearly not back on top of my nail art game...

Clearly not back on top of my nail art game, but this was fun, fast, and cute. Best of all, it makes me smile when I look down and see the little hippo. 😃

Bittersweet day.

Bittersweet day.  Cookie Monster just found his home through Etsy.  This was from when I very first started making things.  I hope his new owner loves him!  😃❤

Nails I did the other day...

Nails I did the other day when I was hurting so bad and couldn't sleep. Happy Nails to me! LOL It was a nice distraction. Not super fancy, but that's because I used whatever was in arm's reach.
