Blue Swirl Mani

Hello everyone!

Today I have a simple blue mani for you guys! I'm not quite sure what the actual pattern is called, but I am going to call it swirls! I used Essie Where's My Chauffeur and Julie G Rock Candy. The swirls were made with a small detail brush.

I really like how the pattern turned out! I will definitely be doing it again sometime in the future! I also like the element of a textured polish! What do you think of this mani? Do you like textured polishes? I hope you all have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!

Spring Mani: Purple Flowers

Hello everyone!

Sorry it has been so long! I have so many designs that I am itching to paint! Today, I decided to go with some purple themed nails. Nothing too extravagant, but I like the simplicity of it!

On all my nails except the ring finger, I started with a base of Pure Ice Fairy Godmother. Then on my ring finger, I added some studs from Winstonia Store and some small silver hex glitters. I started with two coats of Sinful Colors Snow Me White on my ring finger. The small flowers were made using a detail brush and Pure Ice Fairy Godmother, Essie Go Ginza, and Sinful Colors Sweet Tooth. I added some leaves using an unnamed green polish from Garage.

This was my very first attempt at flowers, and I think they turned out ok for a beginner. I definitely want to do more flower designs for spring! What are your favorite kind of flower nails? Thanks for stopping by!

Wet N' Wild - Teal Slowly and See

Hey everyone!

Today I have just a little snippet for you all. Wet N' Wild Teal Slowly and See is such a gorgeous blue and I don't know why I didn't wear it sooner! This was a limited edition color from the Pop Art Craze collection.

This was so easy to work with and took two coats to reach opacity. I love how smooth and shiny they look!

Thank you for stopping by! Have a great weekend!

Essie - Cute as a Button

Hello everyone!

The weather has been a tease the past couple of weeks, going from warm to cold and over again. The days that are warm make me want Spring and Summer so much more! To keep my spirits up, I decided to paint my nails a nice springy color! Essie Cute as a Button is the perfect color for spring!

Shown here is two coats. The formula was very easy to work with and went on so smooth. Some Essie formulas are quite questionable, but this is one I like.

So pretty! Are you ready for spring to be here? Thanks for stopping by!

Zoya - Aurora

Hello everyone!

So sorry that I kind of went on a hiatus the past couple of weeks! Life happens I guess, and hopefully I can be back on track for the month of March!

Today I decided to finally wear Zoya Aurora. Let me just say, I have had this polish for almost a year, and I have never worn it. What a mistake! This polish is absolutely stunning! Application is super smooth and the polish is super shiny!

Just look at that holo! This polish is a little more sheer than I though it would be. Shown is three thin coats. I am constantly staring at my nails! Aurora can be super fun but also sophisticated.

I am so glad to finally be blogging again! I might need some inspiration though, so if you have any suggestions, let me know below! Thank you for stopping by!
