Emerald and Gold


Hey there bloggers
This new design is a bit more complex, but I just love it and it reminds me of a tropical rainforest...or a lizard or something.

Anywho, the base coat is called San Francisco by Sinful Colors. And this is actually the first time I've used it so tell me what you think!

It'd be awesome for you guys to comment or just email me (adress in sidebar) about what you think!

Alrighty then! Have an awesome thursday!

Golden Bronzed

hey there bloggers! this design is very coppery-bronze with a simple gold design. The design didn't show up too well in the picture but bear with me! so the base coat is Antique Bronze by Sally Hanson Diamond Standard! It's just so pretty and sparkley I couldn't resist!

Thanks again for reading! :)
<3,>
p.s. the design is on the pointer finger, instead of my usual ring finger...thought I'd mix it up a bit :)

My Favorite Necklace


Hey there!
SO, as I did promise other things than nail polish on this blog (hence, nails&things) I thought I would post my favorite necklace!

Also, I just love my nails right now and wanted to keep the current design for some time. ;) Don't worry though, I have some pictures of old designs that I'll post until I get sick of my current homemade manicure (which I so frequently do).

Now, as this looks super complicated, all i did was take small sections of wire (about 1") and make a loop at one end, string on a bead, then make a loop at the other end. After doing this over and over, I then used jump rings to connect all of them to make this pretty necklace.

So, obviously, as you can see in the title, this is my favorite necklace. I just love it because it goes with just about anything!

Thanks for reading!...whoever you are :)

p.s. I'll try to post something every day despite the craziness that is my life.

Hot Pink Summer Nails



This is one of my favorite colors and favorite designs. It's just so bright and summery I just had to show it off.

NOTE: I do not work for any nail companies nor am I getting paid for good reviews.
Okay, now that that's out of the way, this is PINK for the basecoat and SNOW ME WHITE for the design, both by Sinful Colors.

And also note, I'm far from a professional nail person, I'm just a girl who loves to paint nails!
This looks tricky but it's really a simple design. And if any of you bloggers out there want to know how I did it or a tutorial, just email me! at
nails.things@gmail.com
...but basically it's just some lines and dots so I doubt I'll be getting any mail.

...so Peace!

me and my blog

I'm a busy person.
Well, I'm sure we're all busy people, I mean come on, in today's world, who isn't?
But as much as I hate being busy, I love doing stuff! Wow, I sound super hypocritical, but who cares? I doubt anyone is reading this anyways!

Anywho, back to me. Well this is my blog isn't it? I love making things!
But mostly nail designs and jewelry, so welcome to (drumroll please)
nails&things!

So, to all of you out there that love nail polish, jewelry, or just about all things fun and girly, you've come to the right place!
