Stripes

Hey there!

So this week I did a fun stripe-y nail look.  I painted every finger except for my ring finger and thumb with Essie Ole Caliente.  I painted my thumb and ring finger with OPI Suzi and the Lifeguard.  Then after letting my thumb and ring finger dry, I cut up pieces of tape and laid them horizontally on those two fingers.  I painted over the tape withe Ole Caliente again and let that dry.  After that, I just peeled the tape off and I had stripes, easy peasy.


Thanks for tuning in! Have a wonderful weekend!

Cloud Nails

Hey all!

So this is a fun nail look that I did for a sunny weekend here! I used OPI Suzi & The Lifeguard for a pink base. In order to create the "clouds," I dipped the end of a makeup brush in Essie Ole Caliente and Essie Lilacism and made big dots/blobs on the tips of my nails. I put Ole Caliente on and then layered with Lilacism to create multi colored clouds.

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!
