11/12/11 - Pokemon! A friend of mine suggested Pokemon for this week’s nails, and frankly, I feel silly for not thinking of it earlier! Can you name them all (without looking at the tags)?

10/8/11 - A rocket ship leaving earth and traveling to another planet (the astronaut gets out and is scared away by a big alien on my other pinkie)! I liked this nail theme because it told a story!

9/17/11 - Paradoxes. I felt like writing something on my nails that week and I can fit 3 words per nail comfortably, so the two paradoxes I wrote were, “Ever wonder what happens if Pinocchio says ‘my nose will now grow’?” and “Ever wonder if God can create a boulder so heavy even He can’t lift it?”

9/10/11 - Soda cans. I picked the coolest and most popular logos I could think of from the soda world and put them on my nails. Note: picture quality gets a little iffy sometimes because some of the pictures I took with my iPod… sorry!
