Pretty, Pretty Princess Nails

I made this mani for Trincess's giveaway, but I decided I could make something even more girly for that.  This looks more Princess-like to me :)

I started with two coats of Zoya Jolene (which is my current favorite pink), then used Kiss Nail Art stickers and rhinestones to make the flower design.  Then I used two different glitters - China Glaze Fairy Dust and NYC glitter - to create a gradient (which didn't photograph too well, but looks pretty cool IRL!)

Speaking of Pretty, Pretty Princess - anyone remember that game?  You put on pieces of jewelry as you moved around the game board?  My sister used to LOVE that game when we were little littles.

On a totally unrelated note, I submitted my MA thesis yesterday and had a really, really awesome day doing almost nothing (at least nothing that involved my brain).  It was great!  I went biking with my mom, did a little gardening, worked out, watched Biggest Loser (goodbye Sam, you were my favorite!), and sat at my kitchen table and stared out the window and totally spaced out for about thirty minutes.  It was really, really nice - and it was really, really needed.  It is amazing how much better I feel after just having one day to totally unwind.  Seriously, if you're feeling stressed, find a way to take a day to just do nothing.  Try not to worry about any upcoming obligations, don't think about work or school or deadlines, turn off your cell, and just chill out.  It is so rejuvenating.

Have an AWESOME day everyone!!!
