Little Sparklies

As most of you know, I'm in love with this pool blue/mint color but I use it so often so I thought some sparkly polka-dots would spice things up! 

Check it out:


Thanks for stopping by!

Caviar Nails

I was recently gifted a caviar nail polish set and I've seen other ladies do them and I loved how they looked so I was eager to try out my new kit! Caviar nails is done by painting a base layer and pouring tiny beads on top to create a 3-d type nail. For the first time I tried it, I just did the accent nail on my ring finger but I'd definitely try it on all of my nails next time because it was super easy!

Here's how mine came out:


See you soon!

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!

Interview Nails

Hey everyone!

So this week I went to an interview and I was having a really hard time coming up with a cool idea for my nails that was interview worthy but still fun. I came up with this idea to do a pink base with a gradient of golden sparkles. In order to do the gradient, I used a makeup sponge to apply OPI Up Front and Personal. I used the sponge because in theory, it is supposed to help make the sparkles build up gradually on the tips of my nails, kind of like this example.


For some reason, my gradient idea was a fail and it ended up looking just like I painted golden sparkles on like normal. But here's the final look:


It definitely did not come out like I was hoping it would but it worked well for the interview that I went to. Stay tuned though because I have some more great looks coming soon!

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!
