HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hello lovers!!
Before we begin, I'd like to give you the BIGGEST virtual hug known to mankind and wish you a very happy 2013!! Hope everyone had a good holiday, and indulged in copious amount of NOMS!

As you know, I haven't been blogging much since Nail School started.
But fear not! Today I have for you-- life update!! 
:D

We learned how to do gel sets in school, so here are a couple of gel sets I have done:





Here are some mani's I have failed to blog about....(I'm SORRY!)
 Wore this to a wedding.

and this to BF's work Christmas party

It was Alexis Leigh's 1 year bloggaversary last week and I did a guest post!
So make sure you head on over to wish her blog a Happy Birthday!


*NOW*
...on to some MOAR news....

On December 27th, I was named 2012's Best Self Taught Nail Artist on Jezebel.
I couldn't believe it when I found out...and I may or may not have done this stupid crazy dance of joy and tripped and rolled on my ankle then cried a little.

So here's my acceptance speech:
I am humbled and extremely honoured to be even mentioned in this article, as many of the nail artists I look up to are also featured. I want to express my gratitude to those who helped me every step of the way...
Without you, I'd just be this crazy person that likes to put crazy things on her nails.
Thank you to all you wonderful readers of The RAWR Shop for your continuous support.
Thank you to all that gave me the opportunity to express my weird self.
The blogging community is so amazing, the love that's flowing around here in cyberspace is unbelievable.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

*PHEW*
But wait, there's more!

Over the Christmas break, I collaborated with a team of talented people. We came up with 3 looks and here is a sneak peek of one of the looks we did:

Can't wait to show you the rest!! This is eventually what I would like to end up doing.
So excited to see what's to come in the near future. 2013 is going to THE BEST YEAR EVAR!!!!!

I think that covers it all...mostly....
Thanks for visiting! :)

HAPPY 2013 LOVERS!!
