Hello Finging Fiends! Happy New Year! Sorry that this is a month late lol. I hope all of your Holidays went well! Mine were ok... they could have been better, but I felt homesick, tired and uninspired. The holidays were pretty rough for me because I am unemployed, but since I am creative I made jewelery and finished a painting for my oldest sister's birthday. I was fired around this time last year and it sucked that I found myself unemployed 2 Christmases in a row. There was a lot of moping and crying and me feeling sorry for myself. I guess it was naive of me to think that I would have found something by now, but 4 months is the longest I have ever been out of work and things are getting kind of grim.
I'm trying to stay productive and keep busy job hunting as well as keeping my spirits up. I had some parties to go to before Christmas, so that felt good. It was also my Hubs's birthday on December 22, so that was a pretty fun party. I was kind of annoyed that I baked so much and nobody ate it! He loved his cake, but I was like "Is everyone on a diet... before Christmas?! Is my baking really bad? Am I the only one who likes sweets and is that why I look like Momma June whilst everyone is slimming down?". It is stupid now that I see in writing what goes through my head when I feel anxious. It feels good to get it out and laugh at my imbalanced brain.
I did some really great nail art over the holidays so I'm just going to post a photo glut, then once I am up to date I will post more often (ha ha let's see how long this Resolution lasts... hey shut up brain! I resolve to not fall for your negativity!). There will be many posts with just photos and less rambling because I am still new here. I may make a second blog with more personal stuff : ) since I have so many photos to share and maybe you are not here for whinies, but here for the shinies.

If you like any of the art, you can ask me in the comments what nail polish I used. I didn't really feel like listing all the stuff I used. I got a Helmer for Christmas (Yay! Thanks Hubs!) and I am currently re-organizing my collection.
