Dollar store finds!

I feel like I make weekly trips to the dollar store. At least I know I'm not breaking the bank that bad when I do splurge. Anyways, in two of my most recent trips I found some exciting things:

Essie nail strips. Who knew these were a thing? Certainly not me! But I was excited to try them out. 

Easy to apply but left my nails all funky when taking them off... They stayed perfect for over a week though so it was well worth it!

Revlon moon candy nail polish. I remember when these first came out and I was obsessed with these. Oddly I never bought any though(my broke behind was cheap) but now I have two! Got these babies for a buck a piece!

Waddle waddle!

Finally, I have decided to master my favorite animal in nail art. Plus it doesn't hurt that my students were learning about animals in winter this past week! 

I simply followed a design found on Pinterest with a base of black. Then I added the white belly. Next I dotted the eyes and added my orange accents. Turned out beautiful!

To add to the Penguin fun, here are some of my other creative and penguin-y fun from the week!
