Doritos, Burritos, Flamingos.

Unless you've read The Kane Chronicles that probably made absolutely no sense to you whatsoever. They have a monkey named Khufu that only eats things ending with an O. So you might've guessed now my nails are based on The Kane Chronicles today.

The Kane Chronicles is written by Rick Riordan and is about a bunch of teenagers who channel the powers of the Egyptian gods. After reading Percy Jackson I knew this series would be good too and I was not disappointed. I used an ankh because, well, it's Egyptian. More specifically it's their symbol for life.

Pretty in Pink

Hello my lovelies, how was your first day of 2013? Mine was wonderfully lazy, watched lots of Dr. Who. While watching the mad man and his blue box I cranked out this look for you :)

Today when I thought about doing a manicure I thought, "PINK!" What better way to start the year, very first manicure being pink. So with pink in mind I took a look-see at the 31 Day Contest to see if pink could work with the next challenge, and I thought day ten's gradient criteria would be lovely. I stamped houndstooth over it to give it more spunk and ta-da! I'd say 2013 is off to a good start.

Essie We're In This Together

Notice the watermark? I finely figured out how to make a decent one without photoshop, seeing as I don't have photoshop. It makes me feel more, official is a good word ^-^. I also feel very accomplished for pushing myself to finely get it done too. So what manicure did you start the year off with?
