Nothing To Disclose Let's not talk about how I've been to Amsterdam twice before I even posted about it once. Yikes.


What have I been up to? Well, I still never figured out that work/life/blog balance. But with this newfound time I have at home (read: thanks Rona. 🙄), I can take the time to sit down and actually blog.

So as the opening line suggests, I have been to Amsterdam twice before I came back and made one post. So here are the nails from my most recent trip in November 2019.

I started off with a gradient of Color Club Don't Toy With Me, Illamasqua Noble, Virtuous Polish Rahab, and Virtuous Polish Naomi.  Once that was finished, I used black and white polishes for stamping.  The plates I used for the images were Kads Fashion 002 & Maniology Stay Weird BM-P107.


What's your first travel destination gonna be when Rona let's all off punishment? Let's daydream together in the comments.
Tune in. Drop out. Love polish.

Summer is pretty much over but of course, I needed one last hoorah before it ended. It also didn't hurt that it was my birthday so off to Miami I went.


Yes, I did immediately pull out my phone to take a picture of some OPI in the Miami International Airport. Who would I be if I didn't?


I originally planned some super dope, super intricate nails for my birthday mani but I guess it wasn't meant to be because each and every attempt was a super fail. Then, I opted to just grab a bottle of nail polish and paint my nails when I got to my hotel room. I pack a bottle of nail polish every time I procrastinate and don't paint my nails before my flight leaves. And every single time I do that, I'm always way too preoccupied to paint my nails.

Since I never got around to painting my nails for my bday mani I guess now is about as good a time as any to paint my nails the color I packed in my suitcase.


I crammed as much as I possibly could into a four-day weekend/birthday celebration. Anyone that knows me in real life knows that an art museum is definitely on the to-go list.

For your enjoyment here I am being my perpetually awkward, weirdo self in Boomerang form at the Perez Art Museum Miami.

And here's the pin you get as your admission ticket. It almost matches Illamasqua Noble

Again, also to the folks that know me best, know that I am ALWAYS down for a trip to a sex museum. So imagine how excited I was when I found out World Erotic Art Museum was only a 10-minute walk from my hotel.

There are a ton more pictures I took here and none of them I deem appropriate for this site at this time. However, I did post a few of them on IG so feel free to drop by @GoHomeBriana.

Nightlife. Oh, the nightlife.
Juvenile was at Story and I promise you it was LIT AF! Especially when he performed "Back That Azz Up". My phone decided it didn't have enough storage for that so here's a glimpse at "Slow Motion".


Next up, was ORA and appearances from Ty Dolla$ and Future. Am I the only one that quotes Issa from season one of Insecure whenever Ty Dolla$ is mentioned? I ALWAYS ended up saying, "Oh my god, you talk to Ty Dolla$ about me?"


But the best part of my birthday vacation? I got to meet Dr. Miami!


I'm a huge Dr. Miami fan and I'm not even going to try to lie to y'all and say I didn't plan this entire vacation around that very moment. It. Was. Awesome. He's so nice and genuine. Him, Brittany, and Ashley really are the exact same people you see on his Snapchat. My cousin and I got t-shirts, offered a tour of the building, and I got to sit on the throne in his office.


Aside from what I've posted here I also went parasailing for the first time, had authentic Cuban food, a mojito bigger than my head, and more.
As I mentioned is other travel posts, I do hashtag all my vacations on Instagram. If you want to see more check out #MIAwithBRI and #BrianasTwentySex and follow my shenanigans @GoHomeBriana.

After all this, I think I'll be okay with the fact that summer '17 is over.

Remember how I mentioned I took some time to travel? While I didn't actively update this site, I did maintain a decent manicure every now and then.


Today I've got one of my favorite brands, Dare To Wear.

What have I been up to in my absence? You know, aside from pulling all-nighters to finish yet another semester? It finally seems like the end is in sight. I still remember my Michelle Obama nails I wore for the first day of school. *awww*

Last week I showed you all the mani I wore in Las Vegas. Today I've got the nail polish I bought when I was there.


I only purchased a total of nine bottles while I was there, but boy oh boy are they pretty. And yes, I did buy a Christian Louboutin Beauté lacquer!

Let's start with Island Girl. Why? Because it was the brand I was the most excited about. Why was I the most excited about it? Because it's only available in Hawaii and Las Vegas. You know what they say exclusivity(?). *Kanye shrug* Oh well.

That time I went to Sephora in Las Vegas... #NailACollegeDropOut #TuneInDropOutLovePolish #louboutin #browngirlbloggers #browngirlswhoblog #buffaloblogger #beautyblogger #nailblogger #nailpolish #ProductPorn

I'm shocked I didn't buy more nail polish, but while I was away my Zoya promo order arrived! Maybe I'll post it at a later date.

Earlier this month I took my first ever spring break trip.--Yeah, I know. Kinda late in life for my first spring break trip.--Where did I go you wonder? Las Vegas!
Before I left for my week long stay in Sin City, I colored my hair.  After I had my hair dyed (and before I left for my trip) I couldn't figure out what I wanted to do with my nails. Then it hit me! I needed to match my nails to my awesome hair!


Because I did my nails with a limited time before I left, I didn't get the chance to take enough pics in my light box. However, I did take some photos in direct sunlight so you can see ALL the holo goodness this mani has to offer.
