I made my first nail polish purchase of the year. Little did I know how it would snowball into a full fledged obsession... at the time I had a small handful of "regular" and glitter polishes as well as one black crackle that I had bought as a Chrimmas present for myself.

January 3, 2013

At some point prior I had found out about nail stamping. On the 6th of January my mom bought me a kit from rite aid for like... 10 bucks?

September Was the month I did the 31 Day Nail Polish Challenge. It was fun, and crazy and stressful and I will probably do it again this coming year. xDD

Day One, Red:
User Image
I cheated and used my pokéball nails from a few days before the first....

Day 2, Orange:
User Image
I threw on an orange crackle over black cuz of lacking pretty much any other orange polish. xD

Day 3, Yellow:
User Image
Did a yellow holo micro-glitter. Picture was taken out of focus to try and show the SPARKLES!

Day 4, Green:
User Image
I about vomited when I saw the finished result of these nails. xD Again a simple crackle.

Day 5, Blue:

User Image - User Image
Did two cuz I love the color blue, did a dry water marble and a gradient. <33

Day 6, Violet:

User Image - User Image
Did two cuz I hated the first one. Eww.

Day 7, Black and White:
User Image
I liked these a lot <33

Day 8, Metallic:

User Image
Did a pale bronze with silver crackle accent nails. Wasn't thrilled with it but meh.

Day 9, RAINBOW!
User Image
Did a three color Rainbow gradient, then stamped on Animal stripes cuz why not.

Day 10, Gradient:

User Image
This was so pretty.... so so pretty....

Day 11, Polka Dots:
User Image
Did a dotted tip thing. I liked it.

Day 12 &13, Animal Print and Stripes:

User Image
Simple stamping cuz I was lazy, also combined days. xD

Days 14 & 15 Delicate, and Floral:

User Image
Combined days again CUZ I COULD! Also stamps again. xD

Day 16, Tribal:
User Image
Did this freehand and was amazed that I could. It was fun and awesome.

Day 17, Glitter:

User Image
Ew, ew, yuck, ew. Plus glitter and me don't get along anyway.. that s**t is hard to get off. ; 0;

Day 18, Half Moons:
User Image
that was also funfun. Used the little sticker things you use to re-enforce punched holes in paper to get the shape. I'm a ninja.

Day 19, Galaxy:
User Image
A galactic FAIL. Hated these.

Day 20, Water Marble:
User Image
Did a dry water marble again cuz it is so much less messy!

Day 21, Inspired by a Color:
User Image
I chose to get my inspiration from the polish's "official color name" so I went with Silver Star! Stamped silver stars on a darker silver base.

Day 22, Inspired by a Song:
User Image
BOOOOORIS THE SPIIIDERR! Yeah stamped spider. I love dat song dude!

Days 23 & 24, Inspired by a Book, and Inspired by a Movie:
User Image - User Image
HARRY POTTAH! I loved how this one turned out, the colors and stamps... it was awesome.

Days 25 & 26 Inspired by a Pattern, and Inspired by Fashion:
User Image
Houndstooth pattern which is a big fashionable fall pattern or some s**t. Awwyeah I am sooo a fashion world follower. Only not.

Day 27, Inspired by Art:
User Image - User Image
Did water color Nails for the first time. Ugly as ******** but I TRIED!

Day 28, Inspired by a Flag:
User Image

Not everyone does, and I am still having to remind myself to slow down when I paint. I still get the polish all over my skin/cuticles/everything just not QUITE as much. xD

I can only just about manage one block color before getting angry with mine. It always goes everywhere. I need to slow down with mine too. I spend the rest of the day trying to be careful not to chip them too and it inevitably goes wrong whee

Well as far as chipping after they dry a good top coat can do wonders! My current favorite top coat is Seche Vite cuz it dries super fast and helps reduce chipping. It's pretty awesome, but it's like 8-ish dollars a bottle. >.<

I've never tried a top coat before, I'll have to look into getting one. I would love to do my nails up more.

Maybe specifically look for a "no chip" top coat. While it will chip eventually(the name/descriptor is misleading) they will help the polish stay on longer.
