I spent years on this blog and it was an escape for me. It was something to participate in from the comfort of my home, any time night or day. I made friends, I had a small following and I enjoyed it...so why did I suddenly disappear?<br />
<br />
I am not completely sure why I stopped when I did exactly but I can tell you a LOT has happened since that time. If this is your first time here let me catch you up just a little by saying I am a nurse. That in and of itself is a stressful thing. In early 2015 I was married and working in a home health job that was taking up a LOT of time and causing me a lot of stress. By August I had started a new job that I loved in a call center but that required me to drive over an hour to work each way. There was a lot going on in my life personally for quite some time and somewhere along the way I just decided I was no longer happy so, I left in early 2016. I moved back in with my dad (not where I wanted to be in my mid-30's) until I found a place of my own.<br />
<br />
Going through a divorce took a toll on my relationship with my family which was also difficult. During that time, I managed find my own place, keep the same job I started, and started dating again (what a series of stories this was!) and eventually met a great guy and got married again faster than really anyone thought I should.<br />
<br />
A few months later a new job opportunity came as a director in an assisted living facility in the same city I was already working in. I was struggling with the schedule I was working along with some other very minor issues so since this was an advancement for me, I took it. This began the year from HELL. I tried, I really tried to make it work but the environment was so toxic and the turnover was unlike anything I had ever seen even at the upper levels of the organization. I promised myself I would make it for a year because I was never one to hop from job to job. I had stayed in touch with some of the managers from the call center job I worked and even though I knew historically they did not hire people back once they left, regardless of the reason, I reached out anyway and was told there was a position if I wanted it, but I would have to start back at the bottom.<br />
<br />
I barely made it through that year but I did and was able to go back to the job I had loved with the same team that had always been so positive and supportive of one another. It was an adjustment because going from a director level back to an entry level position of course meant a pay cut but it was worth it for my sanity. Now, just over a year later, I am still with the same company, same team and am now a supervisor and still loving it. When it comes to nursing, finding a team that is positive and supportive, doesn't back stab or gossip about each other is nearly unheard of.<br />
<br />
These past five years has brought a lot of ups and downs and painting my nails and blogging about it was the last thing on my mind. I have started painting my nails again occasionally but nothing like what I was doing before and I'm not sure I will ever get back to that. I am still active on <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/apolishedaddict/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> and still love following the nail art community. Will I be back to posting new content every day? Not super likely but you never know. If there is still anyone who wants to see it, leave me a comment and let me know you are still out there!Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06807711067632288542noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5798154982386230660.post-19394299600211014002015-07-05T18:15:00.000-05:002015-07-05T18:15:38.040-05:00Patriotic NailsI know, I know, I'm a day late! I was on Pinterest last week looking for some inspiration for my toes and found <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/125186064616258318/" target="_blank">this pin</a> which I had seen before but somehow hadn't pinned. At any rate, I used the inspiration for my toes. I did some much simpler designs for my nails through the week and decided to match the toes for the weekend. I really wanted to find the source of the image and give proper credit but even an image search was not helpful. So just know these are not my original design and if you know who I should give credit to, let me know in the comments!<br />

For these I used <b>Sally Hansen</b> <i>Pacific Blue</i> (original), <b>OPI</b> <i>Over and Over A-Gwen</i>, and <b>Zoya</b> <i>Snow White</i><i>. </i>The anchor is one of my own vinyl decals made smaller to fit the design and all topped with </div>
<b>Glisten & Glow </b><i>HK Girl </i>topcoat.

It has taken me a bit longer to get up and running than I initially planned but I am pleased to let you all know I have opened my own <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/APolishedAddiction?ref=hdr_shop_menu" target="_blank">Etsy shop</a> selling custom nail vinyls! I am starting out with a few listings and will be adding more as time goes on so be sure to check in regularly and see what I have to offer!<br />
I wanted to start with my favorites, the custom monograms. For these, I started out using some of my single skinny chevrons<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic0K3GMFCK031E3Yvtn0rDszhXaGNWUi86SVkvirP3CbCXxLQ8ptDyGSD9gjc1VkkA5OGz9NDwoljP9wG8HIIqYUSZLWQbM4xX3XXw7XZOxsrzwjEO2zpFe6i337oiKuZHUJG70hauAmY/s1600/oragechevron.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic0K3GMFCK031E3Yvtn0rDszhXaGNWUi86SVkvirP3CbCXxLQ8ptDyGSD9gjc1VkkA5OGz9NDwoljP9wG8HIIqYUSZLWQbM4xX3XXw7XZOxsrzwjEO2zpFe6i337oiKuZHUJG70hauAmY/s400/oragechevron.jpg" width="322" /></a></div>

Then went back and added the monograms. These are available in a variety of colors, shown here in mint.<br />

Life was getting complicated and some adjustments had to be made but it seems to be looking brighter now. I've been able to get back into the swing of things and hopefully will be able to post regularly again which I am excited about! For today I have a bright look featuring <b>China Glaze</b> <i>Flying Dragon</i> and <i>Aqua Baby. </i>I love the way these two look together!<br />

I restrained myself this time and didn't order the entire collection, though I may end up with the remaining 3 when all is said and done. <i>Tiana</i> is a gorgeous minty green cream shade perfect for a subtle nod to St. Patrick's Day without going all out or adding any art. Simple, crisp and screams of spring! Two simple coats, topped with HK Girl as usual.<br />

First up is a simple swatch of <b>Zoya</b> <i>Shawn</i>, a gorgeous olive green cream shade. This color does have a bit of a yellow undertone and was really hard to get the color right, second is more color accurate.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next I used some tape to make a straight line across the top of each nail and painted the tips gold using <i>Ziv</i> also by <b>Zoya</b>, followed by <b>Glisten and Glow</b> <i>H K Girl topcoat</i> (seriously the BEST).</div>

I have a bunch of "untrieds" that need swatching but also a lot of ideas for nail art especially related to St. Patrick's Day, so that's what I'm going with first. Some may (likely will) include polish that I haven't tried before and while they may not be "new" they have been sitting on my desk for some time just waiting..<br />
First up is <b>Zoya</b> <i>Veruschka</i> used in this mani along with <i>Snow White</i> and <i>Shawn</i>, <b>Bundle Monster</b> holiday plate <i>BM-H05</i> used for this look then I added <b>NYC</b> matte topcoat to the accent nail to give it a matte finish as well. I must say, <i>Veruschka</i> went on very well, two easy coats, and dried fairly quickly and of course the color is gorgeous.<br />

I really miss blogging, hell, I miss having the time to actually paint my nails on a regular basis! My job is really taking it out of me right now and I'm not sure I can take it much longer. I like the job, enjoy the patients (for those of you who are new here, I'm a home health nurse) but the paperwork and the driving is killing me. I am on the lookout for something new/different, but I tend to be a little picky when it comes to jobs so we shall see. In the mean time, I will try to post some more stuff here, maybe just pics without as much writing. Also, be sure and follow me on <a href="http://instagram.com/apolishedaddiction/">instagram</a> if you don't already, sometimes I post things there that don't make it here.<br />

Seems like white has been a trend in most looks this week and today is no exception. This look started with a base of <b>Zoya</b> <i>Purity</i> then I created the gradient look with <b>Zoya</b> <i>Jolene</i>. <br />

I've also been dying to try <i>Lemonade Lemonade</i> from <b>Sassy Cats Lacquer</b> since I got it a few weeks ago and this look was perfect for it. This is one very easy "dab and place" coat topped with <i>HK Girl</i> topcoat as usual. </div>

Work has been absolutely crazy lately leaving me with little time for much of anything but I'm trying to get back to taking care of myself and doing some of the things I love. Today's theme is "violet".<br />
Base is Zoya Purity on index, middle and pinky fingers. Then I added stripping tape to make a chevron look and topped with Zoya Mira. On my thumb and ring finger is a base of Mira topped with Brilliance by <a href="http://sassycatslacquer.bigcartel.com/">Sassy Cats Lacquer</a> and my beloved HK Girl topcoat.<br />

I had several colors sitting out on my table working on other design ideas and these sort of migrated together and I knew I had to try a marble with them. It didn't turn out as "crisp" as I would like, but I still love the colors. <br />

Super girly looking! I started with two coats of <b>Zoya </b><i>Lara</i> and waited until it was completely dry. Then I added a single piece of striping tape across the tip of each nail and two on the thumbnail and painted over it with one coat of <b>Zoya </b><i>Auora</i>, removed the tape and added a topcoat (HK Girl from Glisten and Glow is my current favorite!). <br />

If you are looking for a pastel, baby blue polish, you NEED this one! The color is beautiful but the formula is perfection! Not at all streaky, unusual in and of itself for a pastel shade, but this one is seriously perfect. Two coats and it is perfectly opaque and simply gorgeous. I always get compliments when I wear this shade.<div>

I have worn this shade at least 3 times since I got it and it is currently on my toes as well! I used one of the new Magical Pixie Dust polishes in <i>Cosmo</i> for the accent nails (two thin coats). This is a bit more textured than the regular Pixie Dust finish with larger pieces of glitter but oh so gorgeous, especially in the sun!<br />

I wanted to use the two newest colors I got <i>Mariska</i> a beautiful neon orange with the slightest of simmer (this one dries to a satin finish, if you don't like that look, be sure to add a topcoat) and <i>Caitlin</i> a neon pink shimmer. To make them pop even more I used<i> Bunny</i> a white with gold shimmer (though I really don't notice the shimmer on the nail...) as a base.<br />

For those of you who don't know today is World Autism Awareness Day. Chances are many of you know someone who is affected by this disorder as it is a rapidly increasing diagnosis around the globe. For more info, check <a href="http://www.autismspeaks.org/what-autism">here</a>. As part of Autism Awareness Month here is my "Light it up Blue" mani.<br />

I actually got home from work a bit early for a change and had time to actually paint my nails! I wanted something colorful and this is what I came up with. I also wanted to use mostly polishes that I hadn't used before so that was a little extra challenge. If you follow me <a href="http://instagram.com/apolishedaddiction">on Instagram </a> then you may have seen the basket full of "unused" polish I posted tonight as well. It's a bit embarrassing. <br />
Colors used <b>OPI </b><i>My Boyfriend Scales Walls </i><b>Essie </b><i>First Timer </i>and <i>Secret Story</i>, and <b>Salon Perfect </b><i>Kaboom</i><br />

A few different techniques used here for this years Mardi Gras nails. What do you guys think? Do you do "theme" nails or opt for a more "traditional" look?<br />
