I have been trying to elude falling sick for a few days now. I stayed positive, telling myself the sneezing fits wouldn’t grow into anything more. Yeah, I was wrong. I woke up at 7 AM yesterday morning with this huge lump in my throat that forced me out of bed and kept me awake terribly early before work.

I have been pretty grateful for not even being able to remember the last time I was sick. {Side note: Did anyone watch Unbreakable? I always reference that part when Bruce Willis’ character starts to see that he’s different and he traces it back from not remembering when he was sick, and actually realizes he was NEVER sick before, and thus a superhero. Not that I’ve never had a fever before, but this is my favorite hint that maybe I’m becoming a superhero }. So yes, I couldn’t go back to sleep and was still in denial so I decided I was going to make myself feel better – by painting my nails. Obvi.

I found this gorgeous teal nailpolish that was in my Spa Week gift bag from the night before, LCN’s Azure Blue and painted a few coats that dried rather quickly. I felt like it had almost a gel-like finish to it too.

I love that you guys are sending me pictures of your nail designs!! There are some I had to share — all in the spirit of getting inspired.

My cousin, Sabeen, tried another design — this time based off InStyle’s black n’ white nail picture.
