Here are my nails of the day! Enjoy!

China Glaze Sugar High

This looks a little different in real life. Its a bright bubblegum pink. Awesome.

For this, I just used so $1-$2 design brushes and it actually turned out pretty well! The design is super easy!

ROCK Nails

2011-08-16T13:52:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone!
Here is the last of the three lettering posts for today! As the guitar player and headbanger I am, I decided to do a design that fits my love for Rock music!

KleanColor Bikini Green, KleanColor Military Green

For this one, I decided to give it a little bit more detail and add a Konad stamp in the background. I used Image plate m60 for this. Then, I used the bubble letter technique once again, but on this one most of the dots are the same size, so it doesn't have the same effect.

Love nails

2011-08-16T11:33:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone!
Today I will be posting 3 different lettered nail designs! Here is the second...

China Glaze Light as Air, OPI Funky Dunkey
Once again, here are the steps on how to do this "Bubble" lettering!

1)Paint your base color and let dry
2)Apply big dots in the outline of the letter, leaving space between them
3)Connect the bigger dots with smaller dots, creating the bubbly effect!

Please comment, follow, and send suggestions or questions! Also, come back later today to see the final lettering nail post! I saved the best for last!

Hope Nails

2011-08-16T09:15:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone!
Here is my design of the day! I've been trying out some lettering nail art, and this one turned out pretty well!

China Glaze Something Sweet, China Glaze High Hopes

I think the message of hope is important, because without it, its very hard to be happy. I just picked the colors at random for this. The lettering is really easy, here are the steps...

1)Paint your base color and let dry

2)Apply big dots in the outline of the letter, leaving some space in between each dot

3)Connect the bigger dots with smaller dots, causing a bubbly effect!

I know those steps might sound a bit confusing, but please feel free to leave comments and questions and I will be happy to answer any question you ask! Also, please follow!

Soft and Girly nail design

2011-07-19T21:48:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone!
Today I am posting a soft and feminine design that still has a little wild side to it! :)

China Glaze Something Sweet
This color is too perfect. Does anyone ever realize that soft pinks make your hands look either red or really weirdly colored? For this one, at least on my skin tone, it didn't! Consider buying this if you are looking for a soft pink!

This is a super simple nail design to do! It barely takes any time. All you have to do is apply a small amount of nail glue onto the spot where you are putting the rhinestone. Then pick up the rhinestone with a toothpick. (Its best to coat the top of the toothpick with a clear nail polish, that way the rhinestone will easily stick to it) Place a different colored rhinestone curving around the bottom of your nail as you can see in the picture. Do this to as many nails as you would like! You can do it on every other nail, only one, whatever you want to do!

Please comment me with suggestions or just what you think of the design or blog! Thanks so much for reading :)

Simple Blue and silver Nail Art

2011-07-18T12:32:00.001-07:00

Hi everyone!
I thought I would do another simple nail design! I recently got some design brushes from the brand of Art Deco for only $1 each! I've seen them at many different dollar stores, and they are GOOD quality! Look around for some!

The colors I used is the silver glitter from Art Deco and Sally Hansen Pacific Blue

Here it is! The design is easy, just take a light sweep of the design brush diagonally across the nail and you're done! You may need to go over the line several times with the glitter, since the glitter isn't very dense.

What do you think? Let me know in a comment! Also please follow!

Criss Cross Nail Art

2011-07-17T15:16:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone!
Today I am going to go through the steps of a super simple nail design. Anyone can do it and it barely takes any time!

To begin with, make sure you have three different colors. It can be any colors you want, so the possibilities are endless! I used Sally Hansen Going Green, China Glaze Re-Fresh Mint, and Sally Hansen Blue it. (In that order)

Sally Hansen Going Green

For the first step, just paint your nails the color you want as the base. Apply as many coats as you need, but let each coat dry before you add the next.

Next, apply another color and sweep the brush diagonally across the nail. Apply two coats for this, just to make sure the polish doesn't look streaky. (You can stop here if you want, but if you want it to be more intricate, go on to the next step)

Now, take the last of your three colors and sweep it diagonally across your nail from the opposite direction. Wasn't that easy?

Hi everyone!
Here's a quick swatch...

Piggy Polish Seas the Day

I love this color :) It is alot brighter than this picture shows, I couldn't capture it very well on my camera. Its a bright neon orange, not dark like this picture. The formula isn't too great, I think this is 5 coats! But other than that its a really good color!

China Glaze Happy Go Lucky w/ KleanColor 24 Karat

2011-05-02T16:13:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone!
Here is a nail polish glitter combination that I really liked!

KleanColor 24 Karat over China Glaze Happy Go Lucky

Pure Ice Rio

2011-05-02T15:27:00.001-07:00

Hi everyone!
I just wanted to do a quick swatch!

Pure Ice Rio

This is a really interesting color! It looks nothing like the color in the bottle (Which was dissapointing) but it is still really cool! It has this intense blue shimmer that I tried to catch in the picture. The only issue I have with this color is that I think this is 6 coats, and it is STILL very sheer. Not sure whats with the formula on this one. Other Pure Ice nails polishes aren't this way. Now that they sell Pure Ice nail polish at Walgreens I plan on getting alot more :)

Hi everyone!
I just wanted to post a quick swatch and design of China Glaze Heli-Yum and Konad Image Plate m57

China Glaze Heli-Yum
This color is AMAZING! It is hard to explain, its like a neon dark pink. The formula is really good, I only used one coat for this! I absolutley love Konad plate m57, I use it all the time. I love animal print designs, so that is definetly part of it :)

KleanColor Holo Blue

2011-05-01T14:10:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone!
I just wanted to do a quick swatch on a recent holographic color I recently purchased.

KleanColor Holo Blue over OPI No Room for the Blues
The holo itself was WAY too shear to use just by itself, its more of a holo topcoat. I used one of my favorite nail polish colors under it, OPI No Room for the Blues from the Bright Pair collection. I wouldn't really consider this a true holo when you compare it to some of the China Glaze OMG colors. It still has somewhat of a holo look to it, enlarge the pic to see what I mean!

Okay, Please comment and follow! I love hearing from everyone, and also please send me requests for nail designs or swatches! I would be happy to do any requests :)

Recent Konad Designs

2011-04-27T20:32:00.001-07:00

Hi Everyone!
Here are just some recent designs I have done, hope you like it :)

KleanColor Pink Lady
I absolutley LOVE this color, its awesome. I really like this KleanColor brand that I found in an outlet not too long ago. All of the colors have a really unique quality to them, and EVERY single color I got (About 10) I have never seen or used a color exactly the same. For this color, Pink Lady, it is a neon pink, but its not one of those over-the-top bright pinks like Flirty Fuchsia or Punchy Pink from the Essie Neon collection. (Even though I love both of those colors ). This color has a silver shimmer in it, as you can see in the bottle. For the design I used image plate m57, one of my favorite Konad plates!

Sally Hansen Blue Me Away! and KleanColor Bikini Green
Sorry for the messy manicure, but I loved this design too much not to post it :) I got an inspiration to do a multi-colored base for a full nail Konad design, and it worked! I used KleanColor Bikini Green as the main base color, and added random streaks of Sally Hansen Blue Me Away! to make a really cool multi-colored look! For the Konad design, its an image plate I have used countless amounts of times on this website- m63. Try this on you own and tell me what colors and designs you used!

Okay everyone, please comment and follow! I have been noticing the huge amount of different countries visiting the site from the flag counter, and every time I see it, it truly makes my day! I have now added the google translator at the top so more people can read the blog! Please keep visiting, as many more nail designs are to come!

Girly Nail Designs

2011-03-13T14:19:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone!
Today I am going to be posting some feminine and girly nail designs!

China Glaze High Hopes
I really like how this one turned out! I used the argyle print from image plate m60. The color that I used, High Hopes, is a little bit more bright and flashy then this picture shows.

China Glaze Light as Air
First off, let me say this is an AWESOME color! I've used it so many times since I got it a few months ago. Sorry for the slightly crooked purses, I didn't realize untill I took the picture. For the Konad design I used m16, which is one of my favorite image plates! The designs are really creative!

Wet n' Wild Red Red

Once again, this design got a little messed up, but I thought it was still worthy to post. I used Konad m59 for this one, another one of my favorite image plates! I love this red, I have probably overused it on here, so I'll try to use some different reds! :)

I thought it would be fun for some posts to have a certain theme, so I have been doing posts like the fruit designs (which I loved doing), the spring designs, and now these girly designs! Please comment and tell me which themes you would like me to do next, because I would love to hear what you guys think! Also please follow! My goal is to try to get to 100 followers by my birthday, which is June 2nd! So please, please, please follow!

Wet n WILD Craze Colors

2010-12-18T18:47:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone!
In this post I am going to be showing 3 colors from the Wet n' Wild Craze collection! The Craze nail polishes are the newest Wet n' Wild Nail Polishes. They are super inexpensive, only $2 a bottle! Here are what the bottles look like....

Don't you love the bottles? I think they are so cool! Here are the swatches and bottle pics...

Goldmine

This color is amazing. Its the perfect shade of gold!

Rustic

This color is darker than it shows on my nails. Its alot closer to the bottle color in the first picture. This is by far my favorite because it reminds me of the fall! It is also a good winter color!

Jade

This is an awesome green! Its got a hint of shimmer, which I love!

Okay! Please comment with your opinions!

Rhinestone Flowers

2010-12-18T11:41:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone!

Here is a design that I did this morning! Its really simple, but looks great!

For the base color ,I used Luxury Lime Creme by N.Y.C. I really like N.Y.C. nail polish because it is very inexpensive, it has a huge variety of unique colors, and the quality is very good! I would have to say my favorite N.Y.C. color is Big Money Frost, which I hope to be posting a picture of soon! For the flowers, I just put on some rhinestones! Rhinestones are a great finishing touch on nails because they are so easy to use and put on, yet they make nails look amazing!

As usual, please comment you opinions!

Hi everyone!

Here are my nails today, buttons!

For this design I used Sinful Colors Happy Ending. Its a shimmery, almost neon green that I LOVE! The konad plate I used was m16, which is one of my favorite image plates.

This is a design I did a little while ago that I forgot to post! Its only the thumb nail, as you can see, but the rest of the nails were the same. I used image plate m6 for both the heart and the dots. I really like this!

Please comment! I love hearing from everyone!

Wet n Wild WILD SHINE

2010-11-06T12:15:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone!

Anyone who has ever looked for cheap nail polish has probably sometime or another come across Wet n Wilds Wild Shine collection. It is only $1 a bottle and comes in a variety of colors and base and top coats. It is coming out with many new exotic colors, yet it still has the basic blacks, whites, reds, pinks, blues ect. I have posted some of these colors not too long ago, so if you look back you can find other colors I have swatched.
Here goes!

Lavender Pearlescent
This color is slightly more pink in real life, but this is pretty close. This is about 3 or 4 coats, so it is pretty sheer.

Mauve Frost
This actually looks the same as it looks in person! This one pretty sheer, this is about 4 coats. I really like this color, it reminds me of pennies!

Frosted Fuchsia
This is SO much darker in person! This is not what it looks at all! Its a deep pink/purple color, not at all as bright as this picture shows!

Wild Card
I REALLY like this color! Its extremely sheer, this is about 5 coats, but I really, really like it. It has the slightest amount of shimmer in it that I absolutely love. Its one of those colors that isn't really very noticeable, but you can tell that the person is wearing nail polish. Its one of the new shades in the collection!

So those are the colors! I should be posting some more soon since I do have alot more that I haven't done swatches for yet. Comment and tell me what colors you like or don't like!

I'm back!

2010-11-05T17:00:00.000-07:00

Hi again!

I haven't posted for so long! Here is a manicure I did a while ago, but just forgot to upload!

2010-03-31T09:26:00.000-07:00

I have pictures!!!!! These are just some random designs from a looooong time ago that I haven't posted yet. I have more coming pics coming!

Okay! First one........

This is just a Konad design I did using Wet n Wild white with OPI Black Onyx over it using an M63 image plate. Sorry I had this on for a while and I did it super fast so its kinda messy.

This is another Konad design using M63. I used OPI Siberian nights with Sally Hansen Royal Purple over it. Yep, that's pretty much it.

I LOVE THIS ONE! Haha this isn't as old as the picture says, by the way. I used Wet n Wild white with a sparkly blue design brush to make the design. Then I used Konad image plate M54 for the ring finger. Once again, I LOVE THIS ONE!

Okay! That's it for now!!!!!!!

XOXO

Hi everyone,
THis is going to be quick, but here are some new nail polish I got from Wallgreens on the Halloween display...

Fantasy Makers Black Magic ( AWESOME!)

Fantasy Makers Night Glow ( Awesome glow in the dark polish!)

This is the manicure I did using black pearl and an attempt

on a dog paw print. I did this for the Dog Halloween party in my

village, but cancelled :(

Some old pictures

2009-09-13T10:26:00.000-07:00

Here is a bunch of random old pictures I've been meaning to post
for a while! Comment on the colors or designs or whatever.

Essie Funky Limelight with design. This is

super old, haha. This one isn't as old as the

date on the side says! My camera date was

messed up

Here is a Konad design I did a little while ago. THis is Sally

Hanson Royal Purple with OPI Siberian Nights M63 design

This is a Frankenpolish I did a little while ago. I'm pretty

sure I mixed Essie Perky Purple with some white on this one.

This is another Frankenpolish I did. I'm not sure what

colors I mixed for this one, but it was really pretty and glittery

when I made it.

Color Club What a shock. This is my nails today

Candy collection

So thats It!

I am going to post some Japanese nail art and you can comment if you would wear it or not!

I'll put up a few...

I would definetly wear these, one of my favorite japanese

nails I've seen

I would even wear this one to school, which I am definetly

thinking about once I gather up 30 bucks, which will probably

be in a LONG time. I can't help myself but spend all of my money

once I get it!

And just for the fun of it........

I might actually wear this one, but without the key.... haha.

Wet n Wild Drugstore nail polish

2009-08-02T09:20:00.000-07:00

I have been meaning to post these forever! I got these from thelocal drugstore, and I like most of their colors. They are only $1 a bottle! I am only posting afew, cuz most of mine are really old,
so they are thick and goopy, and I still don't have any nail polish thinner. I am just posting my favorite ones that arn't goopy. Ok, here they are!

Wet n Wild Carribean frost
2 coats. This one is wiiicked! Best Wet n Wild I own, I think.....

Wet n Wild Blue Sapphire
This one is probably dead second to Carribean frost! It is amazing! This is 2 coats.

Wet n Wild Bijou Blue
This one is probably 4th place, but still cool! This is 3 coats, its a bit more sheer than all of
my others.

Comment on how you like them!

2009-07-02T15:46:00.000-07:00

Hello Everyone!

Here are some 4th of July Nail Designs for everyone to use!

1st one.....

4th of July French Manicure

1. Apply a Sheer Blue base and let dry

2. Apply red tip

3. Apply top coat

Easy, next one is a little more difficult.......

Tye-Dye Manicure

This one is a bit tricky at first, so you may need to practice

a few times to get the tye-dye effect...

1. Apply White Base

2. Take a SPONGE, and paint nail polish on the edge

3. Take the sponge, and lightly dab it on the tip of your

nail. This should create the tye-dye effect. This may

take practice

4. Apply design from Konad Image Plate M63

5. Apply Top-coat

Takes some practice, next one is easy.....

Random 4th of July Design

1. Apply red base

2. Add a blue glitter stripe to the top using a striping

brush

3. On the thumb, Add white dots to represent the

stars

Hope everyone has a GREAT 4th of July!

For Sophia

2009-07-02T15:05:00.000-07:00

This is a request for my dear friend Sophia, for her occasion tomarrow!
For this type of occasion, you don't want anything too showy, so stick with
simple patterns and light colors.
First.....

That is sooo weird how it is sideways!
Polka dot french manicure
1. Apply a sheer sparkly coat to your nails and let dry
2. Apply a white tip to your nails
3. Using a toothpick, make white polka dots
4. Apply a top coat

Pretty Easy, Huh? Onto the next one!

Dot manicure
This one is super easy, too.
1. Apply a thin, white nail polish as the base
2. Using a toothpick, make black dots going across your
nail diagonally.
3. Apply top coat

SUPER EASY!
Neeeexxxttt...

Solid Colors
If you are going to wear a solid color for this occasion, make sure
it is light, and not too showy. Try choosing a fun color, like blue
to add a little flare, but not too much.

I hope I helped you Sophia!

OPI Greenwich Village Swatch

2009-07-02T10:22:00.000-07:00

I have the swatch! This is such an awesome color.....

Ahhh! There is a big smudge on one of my nails! I didn't even notice that!
Oh well! As you can see, it's kind of a dirty green. I LOVE this color!
It kinda reminds me of the swamp! It has great application ( Especially
with the Pro-Wide brush which I LUV!). This is 2 coats.

My Nails of the Day!

2009-07-02T09:39:00.000-07:00

Here is a pic of my nails today! It is a simple design....

1. Apply Basecoat

2. Apply a white nail polish as the base

3. Take any color of nail polish, and put a drop

of that color on a washable surface

4. Take a tooth pick and dip it into the drop of nail

polish, and begin making dots in random places

5. Take a different color of Nail Polish, and

repeat.

6. Apply a top coat once COMPLETLY dry,

or the dots will smudge.

Random Konad Design!

2009-07-02T07:58:00.000-07:00

Here is a random Konad design using Image plate M63!

Excuse the Mess-up on the pinkie nail!

Essie Neon Swatches

2009-07-02T07:06:00.000-07:00

Okay, these pics should be a LOT better than my Mermaid in the Shade Swatches.

I took those in the dark, which is kinda hard to pull off. Anyway, here is the first color!

Perky Purple

Okay, this one is Kinda-sorta color accurate, but it is a little bit darker than this.

I really, Really, REALLY like this color. It is like, the perfect purple! Application was

really good, only 2 coats. One of my favorite nail polishes out of my collection!

Punchy Pink

This one is also kinda-sorta accurate. It is ALOT brighter than this picture

shows. I have worn this a few times since I have gotten it, and that means

alot! I rarely wear the same color! Application is good on this one, too. This

is also 2 coats.

Funky Limelight

Whoah! This is actually pretty accurate!!!! KEWL! This is three coats, and

it is still pretty see-through. DARN! Like I said before, this one for some reason

is a PAIN to apply! It dries super, SUPER fast, though, so that is good.
I like this color alot, though, don't get me wrong!

Flirty Fucshia

This one is also Kinda-sorta accurate! It is darker, but brighter at the same time!

This one probably has the best formula of all of them! This one is really awesome and

bright!!!!!!!!! This was 2 coats.

This is a REALLY cool collection! Every Nail Polish lover NEEDS to get this!

Mermaid in the Shade Swatches

2009-07-01T18:15:00.000-07:00

Like I said before, I only have 2 of these, but better 2 than none, right?
I got these from my friend Sophia as a birthday present, UR AWESOME SOPHIA!
Here is the First one....

Mermaid to Order

Wow, what a HORRIBLE picture! It was the only one that
showed the color accuratly. I just noticed you can totally see
my nail line... oh well. Anyway, no probloms on the application.
It is sheer on the first coat, kinda-sorta bottle color on the second,
and bottle color on 3. I THINK this is 2, I can't even remember,
Haha! Very, very pretty, great for blue lovers!

Just a Fairy-Tail
Whoah!!!!! My hands look red!!!!! Haha, anyway, I really
love the foil finish on this. You can't see it in the picture,
but there is blue glitter in this!!! I really love this color,
this is what Mermaids nails would look like if you ever
saw one! Good application, but it is pretty sheer. This is
i think 4 coats. It takes a teensy bit of patience, but it is
worth it!

Overall, I love both of these colors!
Well, thats really all I have to say, so, BYE!

My Konad Design!

2009-07-01T18:01:00.000-07:00

My dad let me borrow his camera, so I can do a little swatching tonight!!!!!

THANK YOU DAD!

Anyway, here is a Konad design that I wore today........

It was very simple to do, took about 5-10 minutes, so here is how to do it!

1. Apply Basecoat ( Duh!)

2. Use a white nail polish as the base color, but only use one coat so it is not completly

opaque.

3. Use a black nail polish ( I used OPI Black Onyx) on Konad Image Plate M63, and do the swirly one! ( Do you like my description? :D)

4. Apply a black tip!

5. Apply a Top coat

Easy enough, right? Comment to tell me how i did!

Coming up next? Mermaid in the Shade Swatches!

Then Essie Neons!

Then Greenwich Village!

Then...... I don't know! I haven't figured that out yet!

See ya!

Sephora by OPI Mermaid in the Shade Collection

2009-07-01T13:32:00.000-07:00

Hello again!

I only have 2 of this collection, but someday I will hopefully have more!

Here we go!

Mermaid to Order

I wore this when I was swimming.... Anyway! I spaced off! Haha!

This is Sorta Duchorome, I dont think I spelled that right.... haha!

I really like this, really pretty.

Whoah!!!!!!!! This is really, REALLY small! This is the only pic of this color

that I could find, but it is a foil, it is silver with faint blue glitter in it, very

pretty, this is what mermaids nails would look like if I ever met one....

I will of course, swatch these when I get my camera back!

Opi Greenwich Village Review

2009-07-01T13:25:00.000-07:00

I just got this color last week, and I REALLY LIKE IT!

Sadly, when I was applying

it, I got stung by a bee :'''(. I was out on my deck

from my room at my summer home

and I didn't realize a bees nest was right above

where I was sitting, so it came down and

stung my hand! I hate that bee...... ANYWAY!

Back to the color! I really like this color,

it reminds me of the swamp. Bottle color in 2 coats,

I love it!

Oh no!

2009-07-01T12:53:00.000-07:00

I left my camera at my summer home! I am going there tomarrow, though, so I will have it back pretty soon! Now I guess I can just give reviews on recent colors I have gotten!

First of all, I got a big hall of Nail Polish from Head2toebeauty.com with my birthday

money, so I will do reviews!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First off, the Essie Neons!

Funky Limelight

I don't know why, but I had SOOOOOO much trouble applying this!

Also, I don't understand why this picture shows it as bright yellow,

It's highlighter yellow! I really like this type of color, it was just a

PAIN to apply! On the good side though, it drys fast! Like all other

neons, it drys matte, but with a top coat, it is, of course shiny. ( Duh,

I don't even know why I said that! Haha.) I do, really, really like this

color though. ( I will have swatches once I have my camera :D)

Punchy Pink

I love this one too! This is REALLY bright! I have worn this several times already,

and that is saying ALOT for me! I rarely EVER wear the same color! I had no probloms

using this one!

Flirty Fuschia

This one is just a shade darker that Punchy Pink. I really like this one too!

Now really much to say, good application, super bright, great color.

Perky Purple

Yay!!!!!!!! I LUUUVVVVV this one! It has woonnddeerrffuull application, and, this is

like one of my favorite colors of nail polish that I have! This is such a cool color, my

favorite out of the collection!

Every one of these polishes has great formula, EXCEPT Funky Limelight!!!!!!!!

I reccomend every polish lover to buy these! I will have swatches once I have my

camera back!

Keep looking for more reviews on other polishes I bought!
