how i know i'm on vacation?

Dreaming about nails. Cray cray. I had a dream last night that my college asked me to create and teach a nail design course. Hell yeah. Could you imagine? That would be totally awesome. My dreams are typically scary work dreams... even though I go home to sleep at night, I feel like my mind never actually leaves the office.

While the boyfriend still sleeps, I get to procrastinate being any sort of productive by blogging. Two posts in a row is a new record for me. Heh heh. At least for this year.

When student teaching starts, I plan to still work anywhere from 30-50 hours a week, depending on how many hours I get at my second job. With that being said, I'm going to be even busier than I was the past few semesters- which I admit, I didn't think was possible! The past few days I woke up at 6am to go to the gym before work. I think that as long as I have really good discipline, I can get everything that I want to get done done. Here's hoping for the best.

Today, we're going to the Cheesecake Factory for a midday lunch/dinner and to walk around these shops that (I think) are right near the restaurant. I need to go to Sephora. I've started wearing makeup again and my tinted moisturizer is embarrassingly old. Once I get my new stuff, I may do a review of the makeup that I use. I am obsessed.

Anyway, today I'm showing you a manicure I wore last week. See, even though I don't *actively* post, I do try to paint my nails! I'm even gonna paint them today! ;D I rebelled and wore bright pink even though it's winter. I mean, I usually don't care about that type of thing, but winter kills my mood and makes me typically wear dark shades.

I feel like I've been using a lot of essie polishes lately. This is Essie Peach Daiquiri (the name is delicious enough) with an accent of Essie Beyond Cozy. I absolutely ADORE Beyond Cozy. I think it's gorgeous. I literally feel like I'm wearing the most beautiful diamond ring when I have this on my accent finger. I get so many compliments on manis like this. They're simple, but easily noticable.

This mani lasted almost a week with some minor chips. The formula on both polishes were outstanding, but I had some SLIGHT visible nail line (VNL) with Peach Daiquiri. I could've stood to do one more coat, but I didn't entirely feel like it.

What do you think?
