Forget Me Not - The Civil Wars

Hey!

So so so sorry I have been so absent. My life has been crazy busy. I am finally done with finals, though. I'm back to blogging now! I have been so busy with school that I have barely even had time to do my nails. I painted my nails twice maybe in the past 2 months. Time for makeup? Hah...yea, right. How pathetic.

Anyway - both manis turned out somewhat decent (considering I am always a fail with nails. Yet I never give up). I just thought I would stop by and post pictures of both!







I had (and still have) quite the obsession with beige and black. I saw a cute beige wallet online with a black bow - so it inspired these nails! I like the way it turned out. Of course there is room for major improvement. I'm going to work on my bow-art and straight lines. Not bad for a first attempt though with toothpicks and bobby pins.

Up next....

I saw something similar online (Pinterest) using straws. It reminded me of the coach logo used on some purses a few years back. Super cute! So I gave it a try with my favorite china glaze pink polishes. There is still room for improvement. But, I think this is a really neat idea and I love the result!

Hope you all are having a marvelous weekend!

PS- I saw The Civil Wars in concert this month. Absolutely brilliant! If you ever get the chance to see them live - please go. You won't regret it. If not, be sure to check out some of their music and live videos on YouTube. So impressive! Love them to pieces.
