My dear friend, Meredith, graduated from our University with a BA with Honors today! I originally promised to do her nails, as I thought I would be here for graduation. Alas, I discovered the flight I bought sent me home last Sunday! (And about my lack of posts, let’s just say finals and real life overwhelmed me. I do have plenty, and I mean plenty, of photos and swatches for y’all!)
So I told her to fit a set of fake nails and give them to me, and I would paint them 🙂 She said to surprise her, so I chose cherry blossoms as she lived in Japan last summer, and since has been in love with that country. A bonus, she can also keep these nails forever with careful removal =) 
If you wanted to know how to say “I love you” in American Sign Language, this would be it. 🙂 
This featured three Orly polishes, and two American Apparel polishes whose names I have forgotten, and they’re currently stashed far away from me. I’ll just edit this part later, lol. I used a tip of a pencil and the rounded part of a hair pin because at that moment everything had been packed away and I didn’t have my nail art stuff out. It was also my very first attempt at freehand art… yikes! It turned out okay, I hope?
Such long fake nails! I’m going to be surprised if she tells me she never poked herself in the eye with it. 😛

My friend Robert (the matron of our friend circle) decided that he’d like his nails done, and I came up with a blue scheme for him, and he picked the star stamp out of the Bundle Monster collection.
This shows the colors slightly better…
We were trying to figure out the best “hand pose” to show all of the nails as the stars are each in different places, and we tried this one– lol, cthulhu much? 😀
Colors used: OPI What’s With the Cattitude? for base, and OPI Who the Shrek Are You? for the darker blue star.

Nick made me practice with my left hand… He was tired of my left hand being perfect, while the right would be a little “special.” So he offered himself, and with Wet N Wild Black Creme and a white nail polish pen from Claire’s, I diligently practiced on his hands and came up with a math theme since he’s a math major 🙂
They’re all different formulas, and math symbols, and on the top index/middle fingers are the numbers from 1 to 7. Remember these were made with my left hand…
I drew a really great graph on his thumb but he painted glitter over it for no good reason. When he saw my shocked face he said “Oh it’s okay! I’ll just wipe it off!!!” and grabbed a tissue, then promptly destroyed the whole thing. Sigh… Men and how they think they know everything. So that’s why there are no thumb pictures.

It’s a friend of mine’s birthday today, and Nick thought it’d be fun if I painted “HBDAY LIANE” on his fingernails and here is the proof 😉 First time doing letters, and it’s not too shabby!
She actually seemed to really like them! Then again she is also a lacquerhead…
