Year in Manicures: 2019

It's almost 2021 and I'm FINALLY through my backlog of posts from 2019!! /cries

Looking at my 2018 year in review post, I said there that you could tell how busy I had been since I was writing the review post in March - I wonder how busy that means I was this year since I'm writing this post literally almost a year late...

Despite how far behind I fell with posts, I did manage to paint 70 designs for myself in 2019, as well as 12 videos for CutePolish (I'm a part of the team on Sandi's channel if you didn't know!).
Out of those 70 designs, I'm going to take a quick look back at my nine favourites from the year!

I’m going to be ringing in the New Year in my favourite way - with my nails literally dripping with glitter! ✨🥂🍾

Colours of the Season

I really loved the fall colour palette nails that I did a few months ago, so I wanted to revisit them again for winter!

Eh? Gingerbread?

I want you, I want you, want you 👀

EXO is back! Even though we were completely robbed of seeing X-Xiumin, X-Lay, and X-DO, EXO still killed it with this album's 6 member lineup.

Faded Forest

I'm still sticking with nature inspired nails for the moment, but this time I'm focusing on trees instead of flowers.

Florals are one of my favourite nail looks no matter the season.

You're My Twenty-Four

Guess who's officially in her mid-twenties? 🙋‍♀️🎂🎈
I thought my birthday nails had peaked at 21, but this set is giving them a run for their money.

Jopping

Cause when we're jumping and popping... we're JOPPING! 🤘
There were a lot of differing opinions about SuperM's concept when they first debuted - and some fans are still divided on it - but I'm personally totally here for it. I love being able to see so many of SM's powerhouses perform together in one group (and let's face it, seeing Taemin and Jongin in a group together at last is something to be hyped about)!

Since I was so excited for their debut, I kind of went all out for the design.

Dear My Dear (Shall We?)

EXO's ballad king Chen is back with his second mini album, and I'm back with a design inspired by it!

BT21

I’m mildly embarrassed to admit that it’s taken me nine months to add BT21 to my Character Cuticles series 🙈

Gucci Boy

The last design in my mini autumn series is inspired by Gucci, and more specifically by Kim Jongin's (EXO's Kai's) all Gucci airport fashion from 190907 ✨🍂
