Polka-Dots

Hi everyone!

I've been loving polka dots recently so I thought I'd share my most recent dotty look.  The dots are done with a dotting tool dipped into OPI Mermaid's Tears.  I put a matte top coat over the look to give it some flare :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Ocean Cloud Nails

Some of my most popular nails have been my cloud nails so I thought I'd try them again in a different color scheme! Enjoy!

Sparkly Gradient Nails

Hi all!

Here is a sparkly gradient that I did on my nails recently.  I painted a couple layers of OPI Mermaid's Tears and took a makeup sponge and dabbed on Sephora by OPI Spark-tacular! When I was dabbing on the sparkles, I concentrated most of it on the tips of my nails so that it would create a gradient effect.
Enjoy!

Watermelons

Hey everyone!

Can you believe that summer is almost here?! I'm getting so excited to enjoy all of my favorite summer activities soon! One of the things I like to do during the summer is slice up a big juicy watermelon and eat it by the pool! Unfortunately, I don't have a pool and I haven't been to the grocery store in a while to get a watermelon...but I do have nail polish!  For this watermelon nail design, I used OPI Come to Poppy, Sally Hansen Teal, and a black nail striper.

See you next time!

Everyday Spring Looks

Hey everyone!

Its a new quarter for me and I'm definitely loving the springy-ness! The countdown for graduation has begun which means I'll try to post new nail looks or crafts whenever I can, but don't get fussy with me if I get busy with school.

So here are some of my nail polish looks that I've worn in the past few weeks! Enjoy!

This look is with China Glaze For Audrey and Sally Hansen Gem Crush Showgirl Chic on my ring finger. 

This was the look I wore for Easter! They reminded me of cute lil' Easter eggs! The colors I used were OPI What's with the Cattitude?, Sally Hansen Lightening, NYC Polyester Pink Creme, Essie Lilacism, and OPI Gargantuan Green Grape. 

For Easter I got a new green to add to the collection from my boyfriend's (wonderful) mama. This look is done with Essie Navigate Her with a sparkly blue nail polish from Forever 21 on top (super cheap!). This one actually reminds me of a mermaid or seaweed or something summery!

That's all for now and I'll be back soon with more updates!

Feeling Green

Top of the morning to you! Its almost St. Patrick's Day!

To honor my favorite green holiday, I've come up with a few nail polish looks to wear around town!

The first look has a base of Essie Da Bush with Konad plate m64 and Sally Hansen Fairy Teal on my ring finger.

The second look is using NYC Big Money Frost (super cheap at the drug store!) and OPI Up Front and Personal.

Have a fun and safe St. Patricks Day!

Some Favorites

Hey all!

My good friend Suzanne recently passed this article along to me about the newly released Spring Must Haves nail polish by Lucky Magazine.  In light of the magazine's favorites, I thought I'd share some of my all time favorite nail polish products!

Seche Clear and Seche Vite are my favorite base and top coats.  They are both super protective and the top coat has a great shine to it.  

Drying Drops by Nicole by OPI have literally been a lifesaver.  They dry my nails lightening fast so when I have no patience (aka all the time) I can put these drops on my newly painted nails and bam! they're ready to go.

These are my absolute favorite pinks.  The one on the left is OPI Come to Poppy and the one on the right is Sally Hansen Shrimply Devine.  I've owned the Sally Hansen one for far too long but I absolutely love it!

These are my go to favorites if I want to add a little sparkle to my life.  Sally Hansen Gem Crush Showgirl Chic is on the left.  OPI Up Front and Personal is on the right.  In my opinion, every nail polish beauty needs to own something sparkly for now and then (or for everyday).  I'm currently trying to get my hands on Lynnderella nail polish which is beyond sparkly and into the world of OMG ITS SO GLITTERFUL!!  If you've never heard of Lynnderella, I highly recommend googling it.  

These last two are just some of the other colors that I tend to turn to most frequently.  On the left, OPI Mermaid's Tears from the Pirates of the Caribbean collection and on the right, Essie Lilacism.  

See you next time!
