...But as all of you (ladies) are probably aware... the first semester of a new program is super hectic. Teaching + coursework + trying to put together a list for comprehensives + all the other stuff we do for/at/with school = no time for life.(Plus, I will admit to enjoying a new addiction... Dragon Age: Origins... But more on that later.) :P If anybody else out there is playing this right now...let's chat!My final set...

For Science
I can't remember the last time I went an entire month without wearing nail polish. Even when I wasn't a polish addict, I was still dedicated to nudes. So this experience will be interesting.As I have mentioned before I have only two nail implements with me: a file and a basecoat. No remover, no cuticle cream, no nippers, no COLOR.I thought...

November Adoree swatches
Some more swatches of Adoree polishes, which I received for free, courtesy of Thresa at Esther's Nail Center. I'll readily admit that my choices this month weren't fantastic but definitely nowhere near a complete loss. :) Adoree Lemon MeringueReminds me a bit of Maybelline Banana Puddin': a slightly more saturated yellow and not as sheer....

iNOTD ChG Dynasty and Update
Hi everyone. I just wanted to post a very quick update regarding my lack of posting. The last few weeks with school have been very hectic and to top it all off my husband and I received a phone call very early Sunday morning that his mother (in Indiana) was admitted to the hospital and things didn't look good. We ended up driving 11 hours...
More backlogged NOTDs
Almost Thanksgiving!! YUMM Time to be gluttonous and lazy hahaMy nails are still nubbins and will probably remain nubbins for probably a month because I'm trying out a new base coat and it seems to be helping with the staining. If it works then I will wait for the stained part to grow out and file it down to nubbins, AGAIN. Hopefully when...
Essie Mint Candy Apple and Lollipop NOTDs
Still absolutely exhausted by conference and travel and all that. Pretty much laid on the couch all day yesterday, watching true-crime forensics shows. Essie Mint Candy AppleBlued-mint creme. I am really torn on this one. First of all, though I like the color, I wish it were greener than it is. Second, this mani took me two tries to get right....

The Square Nail Studio, Somerville, MA
I'm currently on a train down to NYC and am too tired to do any detailed review of my latest experience with The Square Nail Studio in Davis Sq (Somerville, MA). But I thought I'd post some of my iPhone pics of the place itself. Very shabby chic and entirely too cute as always. Oh I got OPI Russian Navy Suede on toes and OPI Lincoln Park...
Sinful's Nail Junkie and Sparitual's It's Raining Men
My adventures in layering over black (2 coats SH's Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Black Out) continue.Nail Junkie(1 coat)Nail Junkie, like a lot of glitters, is suspended in that jelly-like clear base. It's hard to get it to go on thinly. Thus, I got the most impressive tip pull from this. Poshe could not handle the thickness at all.Close-UpIn...
