Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Hey guys!

So today I didn't really do any nail art for St. Patty's Day, but I did do an inspired mani using traditional colors. I'm not too big on holiday nails, and this one was no exception. Hopefully later on when I do improve on things such as watermarbling, gradients, and tape manis, holiday nails will be fun!

So since my nail art skills aren't the greatest, I have a simple green and gold manicure to show you guys. The green is OPI Jade is the New Black, and Sephora by OPI Only Gold For Me Top Coat.



Although this is simple, I do like it. I really love Jade is the New Black! And of course, who can't love a gold glitter top coat? I know I do, considering I have 3 of the Only Gold For Me Top Coat!



Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone enjoys the holiday!

Liquid Sky Lacquer- Golden Rose

Hello all!

Today I have a polish for you from Carolyn at Liquid Sky Lacquer that is called Golden Rose. This polish is absolutely amazing! Here I am wearing 1 coat of Golden Rose over 2 coats of Sinful Colors Cotton Candy. I got this polish back in December of 2012 and I'm not sure why I haven't worn it until now! I love it so much!



Just look at it! I was staring at my nails constantly!!


I also really love Cotton Candy! It looks great on its own!

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to go check out Carolyn's shop for more polishes including, holos, thermals, and a new spring collection!

Striped Nails ft. Pure Ice

Hey gals!

So today I have a look for you guys using 3 Pure Ice polishes from the Limited Edition collection. The three I picked up a while back were Hot Rocks, Black Velour,and Stunning. Therefore those were the three I used to create this look! I started with a base of Black Velour, then added a stripe down the middle of the nails with Stunning. I really liked the diamond shaped glitters in Hot Rocks, so I used some for glitter placement.


Some may think it to be too much, but I am kinda diggin' it! One of my close friends told me that it looked like the diamonds were the people and they were walking on the red carpet.... not quite what I had in mind. I did think it was pretty funny though!


If you don't know, Black Velour and Stunning actually dry to a matte/suede finish, but I preferred them to be glossy.

Thanks for stopping by!

China Glaze- I'm With The Lifeguard

Hey everybody! So I haven't had the best week and I decided to pull out some neons! I chose China Glaze I'm With The Lifeguard as my base, and freehanded some flower/asterisk shapes with Sally Hansen Blue Me Away and Sinful Colors Boom Boom. I really liked the way these turned out. I was originally going for a little different shape, but I like the way they ended up looking!!


I love how it's so bright! It reminds me of spring and summer, and how ready I am for them to come!!


Thanks for reading!!

Sinful Colors- Sugar n' Spice

Hello all!!

Today I have one of the colors from the new Sinful Colors Sugar Rush collection. Sugar n' Spice is a gorgeous cream with the slightest hint of shimmer! I think it is beautiful and it applied like a dream! Right here I am wearing 3 thin coats with no topcoat.


Isn't it pretty?? Although it is kind-of a mainstream polish color, I do think it is very pretty. This next picture captures some of the shimmer, but my hand is very washed out, so it isn't the prettiest picture you will ever see.


If you have a chance to grab any of the Sugar Rush collection, I would recommend them!! Thanks for stopping by and reading my posts!!

OPI- Anti-bleak

Hey all!!

Today I have a polish to show you from the Mariah Carey collection from OPI. Anti-bleak was really the only polish from the collection that I liked. I wasn't so sure about the Liquid Sand, maybe I should give them a try? Regardless, this polish is gorgeous!!


It looks so smooth!!! Right here I have 3 thin coats and top coat. The formula was kind of weird though. Not too bad.
Thanks for stopping by!

Essie- Leading Lady

Happy Valentines Day!!

First off, I'm so sorry for kind of slipping away from my January untrieds month, but life just got in the way. I also apologize for not really posting at the beginning of this month because two of my nails broke :( but they are almost back to normal, so posts should be appearing more frequently!!

I didn't really do any nail art for Valentines Day, but I did wear a gorgeous red! Essie's Leading Lady is so pretty! Take a look for yourself!


How pretty? Yes, I know, my cuticles look horrific, and my nails aren't the same length. But hey, just look at the polish :) This is three thin coats with top coat. Although I love this color, I had a little trouble with the formula. It wasn't anything unbearable though.
I hope you had a great Valentines Day, and thanks for stopping by!!
