St. Patrick's Day Mani!

Hi Everyone!

Soooo, it's definitely been a while since my last post....but, I've still been doing my nails and photographing the evidence! Haha. This was the look I did for St. Patricks Day. It's my re-creation of the four leaf clover water marble that Colette from mysimplelittlepleasures.blogspot.com did.

I love the way it came out! If I remember correctly, the colors I used were the following:

Dark green: China Glaze Emerald Fitzgerald
Medium green: China Glaze Four Leaf Clover
Light green: Essie Navigate Her

I hope you guys like it!

Thanks for reading.

Rose Teacups!

Hi Guys!

I'm really excited about this manicure. It came out so delicate and pretty. It reminds me of elegant teacups.

This is 3 coats Essie Marshmallow as the base. The colors of the roses are Revlon Love That Red, Revlon Cupid, and Sinful Colors Snow Me White. The leaf color is China Glaze Four Leaf Clover and China Glaze Liquid Leather for the black stripe through the center. Then, I just topped the whole thing off with a coat of Seche Vite.

I've only done freehand nail art maybe a couple times, if that, so of course this isn't perfect, but I'm pretty happy with the way it came out.

I hope you guys liked it!

Rainbow Sherbet Nails

Hi Everyone! This is a patchwork mani I did using three colors. I got the idea from Chloe's Nails. For a tutorial on how to do patchwork mani's, check out http://chloesnails.blogspot.com/ . She has a full tutorial on there and it's amazing! I messed up the placement of the purple on my ring finger, and by the time I realized it, it was too late, so oh well!

The colors I used are Essie Splash of Grenadine for the pinky-purple color, Tart Deco for the peachy orange, and Navigate Her for the pistachio green. I showed my boyfriend and he really liked it! He said it looked for very 80's, but in a good way. I agree, but the main theme it reminded me of was candy or popsicles and then right as I was about to make this post...BAM! Rainbow Sherbet! That's it!! I really love the way this came out and I hope you guys really enjoy it too.

Haul!

Hi guys!

So, as I mentioned in my earlier post I bought several nail polishes recently. I went to Ulta and Sally's over the weekend, and then went to Walgreens today and bought way too many polishes. But the rush man, the rush... hahaha. And as I mentioned previously, I bought Revlon Whimsical online and then I found it in store at Ulta and felt the need to buy it again. Go figure.

Kinetic Candy, Lighthouse, Sweet Hook, Techno

Splash of Grenadine, Tart Deco, Navigate Her, Marshmallow



Revlon Whimsical (twice)

Kinetic Candy, Techno, and Sweet Hook are from China Glaze's new Electropop collection and Navigate Her is from Essie's new Navigate Her collection. I apologize the photo quality isn't that great, especially on the China Glaze colors. So far, I have only worn Kinetic Candy and Whimiscal, but I'm going to do a mani tonight using 2 or possibly 3 of the other polishes. I will be sure to post the mani soon!

Purple Dream

Hi guys! I love the way this came out. It's three coats of Essie Lilacism with one coat of Nfu-Oh 50 layered on top and then Seche Vite for my topcoat. The Essie color is quite sheer, but at three coats it evens out and becomes opaque. I love the way the blue flakies glow against the pastel background. Sorry if it's kind of hard to see the flakies in my pictures, but trust me, in real life it's AMAZING!

Also, my first Zoya polishes should be coming on Friday. I ordered them during their get 2 free bottles 2012 promotion. I'm so excited! I've never used Zoya before, but I've been dying to try them. My next post will showcase them.

Thanks for reading. On to the photos!

Gray Skies...Half Moon Mani

Hi guys!
Here is my first attempt at a half moon mani. It didn't come out as well as I would've hoped, but oh well, thought I should show it anyway. Oh, and please ignore the horrible dent I made in my ring finger. Oops!

For this I used Essie Lapis of Luxury and Sally Hansen Wet Cement. Because the blue is so sheer and you have to put on several coats for it to be opaque, I put Sinful Color's Snow Me White down first, which explains the white parts you can see in the photo. Also, sorry about the lighting! I'm going to work on it, I swear.
