Well I hope New Year's Day isn't an indication of how the rest of the year will be because I have (dun dun dun) Pneumonia. Joy.
But I did want to write down a few of my goals for the blog for the new year and show you a few of my most popular posts for 2012. As you guys know, nail art isn't my forte but I had a lot of fun doing the 30 Day Challenge earlier this year and while my skills aren't much past kindergarten level, you can't get better if you don't practice, right?
Here are a few of my attempts at nail art.
Let's start with my favorite mani of 2012 that I did - not perfect, but I was actually proud of this one. It's a sponge gradient on all fingers with freehanded "butterfly wings" - only later did I find out there's a STAMP for this. UGH!
