french tip manicure with black and pink



Hi everyone! I hope you all are having a great week so far! I have been really busy with school.. pretty much just homework so I did my nails yesterday I just didnt have time to blog!): I miss keeping up with other blogs and commenting!!! but for these nails I did a french manicure and of course put those lines. I did one coat of Sally Hansen maximum growth- sweet tulip and I made the tip with a Stripe Rite and Ruby Kisses HD- whiter than white. Over that I put Sally Hansen diamond strength- diamonds. To do the nail art I used a Kiss nail art paint- soft purple, soft pink(I layered them) and silver glitter, I also used a black Stripe Rite. Tje pink big glitters on the side are from Micheal's. Thank you all so much for reading! <3

My Private Jet

  I have had OPI- my private jet for such a long time at least since Christmas! My mom bought it because I was telling her about it, looked it up and showed her swatches and she loved it so she bought it off ebay lol. I never though I liked it but once she put it on yesterday I decided to try it out as well. I really like it now!! This isnt the original its the bronze-y one but its still Beautiful!!! Its awesome for fall too! I put some big silver glitters and some silver dots close around the big glitters but on the ring finger and thumb I also put a star. If you can get your hands on this I definitely suggest picking it up! My swatches arent the best but you get an idea. dont forget to click the picture to make it larger! I hope you all have a great rest of the day!:)

Revlon quick dry top coat review & purple/blue fading nails



This is my opinion on Revlon quick dry top coat some people might like it some may not this is just my opinion(: 
Ok so it says it a quick dry top coat but I dont think its that quick I have many other top coats that dry faster. By the time I painted all my fingers and touched my pinky it was still wet and I like it to be dry to the touch at that point I dont want to wait for the top coat to dry after all the other things that have to dry. This also isnt good for nail art because it doesnt even it out with a nice shine, like lets say you did polka dots on your nails instead of your nail itself being shiny each dot would shine. does that make sense? It wasnt like a thick coat and it made my nail art run like make those smudgy lines going up and down and I think thats because its so thin. I also dont think this helps with chipping and as many on you know I paint my nails every other day most of the time and a couple times I got a little chip in the corner of my nail so did my moms nails... Over all I was not happy with this top coat and I was so excited to try it! I heard such great things about it! Would I buy this top coat again? defiantly not. 
Have you tried this top coat, what do you think about it? 


Now onto the low quality nail art! lol yeah Im not sure what happen... better nails will be coming tomorrow! I promise!:) The light purple is Revlon-lily and the dark blue(kinda purple) its fading into is Finger Paints- easle-y entertained. Over that I put one coat of NK nail enamel- magical and then I put the star with a Stripe Rite then one coat of OPI- cant you sea? I have a picture with out the start just so you can see a better picture of the fading. Have a great rest of your day!!

red with white swirls


Woahhhh! I feel so out of the nail blogging world and just the nail polish world in general since I havent gone to the store in forever!! and its been like four days I couldnt imagine a week! I did say how I had knee surgery before but if you missed it I had surgery a week ago today. I missed three days of school so im catching up on the work  I missed and then tomorrow its time for the two stitches to come out so ill be missing half the morning but at least these stitches come out they are hurting me! lol and for the first time in a longgggg time I wore the same manicure for those four whole days I didnt just forget to blog, I actually had the manicure on the whole time! normally I go every other day so four whole days was a long time!:D

(**Products used-)
Anyways for my nails I decided to do them red and my only true red is China Glaze- ruby deer so I did three coats of that then put a coat of red glitter which was Elf- cranberry and that darkend it up a bit which I wasnt that happy about and it dried matte whichI thought was weird too. I used white acrylic paint and a detail brush to do the swirls.

Yes, more writing! I have a lot to say:p 
I just want to thank you all so much for joining me with my blog I cant believe there are one hundred and sixty people reading or just looking at my nails they both make me happy! lol I hope you all are doing amazing and have a great Friday!!(:

purple french manicure

 
After I did those zebra print nails I decided to do a french manicure in purple. The purple is Avon mirror shine- polish poli and then I put purple glitter over it is Kleancolor- purple glitter. The black and white are Stripe Rites and the silver glitter is an Art Deco. I hope you all are having an amazing day!!!!!(:    

black and silver zebra print

I did these earlier but when I got to my thumb my striper was gross and goopy so I only did my right hand but I thought I would show it anyway. I used Revlon limited edition- night spell for the background color and a Stripe Rite- silver for the zebra print.

purple flowers




 

I wanted to use silver on top of this purple somewhere so I used it in the middle of the flower and I used some big silver rainbow hexagon glitters. The purple is Deborah Lippmann- between the sheets and the silver in the middle of the flower is Wet n Wild fast dry- silvivor. I used acrylic paint with a detail brush to make the actual flower and the glitter on the sides is Cover Girl- disco dazzle. I hope everyone is having a spectacular day!(:

roses


I hope all my US followers had a fun labor day weekend! If you arent in the US I hope you have a fun weekend anyway!! I painted my nails this color from OPI but I dont know the name of it! The sticker on the bottom isnt there and I love this color! I wanted to do some delicate nail art on this pale color so I decided on roses and some stripes on my ring finger. I havent done roses like these ad I actually like them a lot! On my ring finger I did some stripes and put some glitter in the corner which is Sinful Colors- pinky glitter and I found the big glitters at Micheals. Otherwise I did all the nail art with Acrylic Paint. Dont forget to click the picture to enlarge it! Have an awesome rest of your day!(:

Fashionable Friday! cheetah!


Happy Friday!!! August has now past im so sad I dont want it to get cold!! Evey one dont forget to check Maryanne out you can click her link to the right just scroll down a little bit its Crafty Mommy Diva and Scrappy Gifts!(: Today Im going to show how to do this fading cheetah print so lets get into it!
Start off by painting yous nails yellow I chose Essence colour & go- mellow yellow.
Using a make up sponge, sponge a light orange color leaving some yellow at the bottom. I used Wet n Wild wild shine- sunny side up.
Now sponge a darker orange on top but leave a little bit of the light orange showing at the bottom thats what creates the gradient. I used Sally Hansen Xtream wear- sun kissed.
Taking a light coral color sponge it the same way we did with the darker orange. Leave some color showing at the bottom. I used Wet n Wild wild shine- blazed.
Now for the last color your going to sponge it in the corner so it goes from coral to yellow.


If you want to try the cheetah print this is how you can do it or you can just keep the fading and thats really cute too! All you do is make C's and they dont have to be perfect some can be more straight and some can be more curved no animal has the same pattern! I used black Acrylic paint and a detail brush.  


Add a top to make everything glossy and last longer also if you use acrylic paint the water can wash it off so you want to make sure to seal it in. You also dont have to use those colors just have fun with it!!:)
