Neon Fuchsia
Third, and last post of the day! I fell behind on posting so I wanted to just get it back up to date with what I'm wearing right now! School started on Thursday so I was busy getting ready for school. At the beginning of the summer I actually had a three week class I had to take so my summer was kinda cut short. Anyway for my nails I first put two coats of Ulta Salon Formula- Snow White then I put two coats of KleanColor Nail Lacquer- Neon Fuchsia. To do that flowers and little lines I used acrylic paint with a detail brush. I hope you all are having a great day and those of you that just started school I hope you had an amazing summer vacation!(:
flowers
If you look closely or enlarge to photo you'll see the nail polish cracked, my top coat does that sometimes since its so thick but just try to ignore it. Sorry about that! I used Rimmel London Lasting Finish PRO- Stiletto Red and for the flowers I used acrylic paint. To do the lines coming out of the flowers I used a light gold Stripe Rite and gold glitter Kiss striper.
My left thumb nail cracked just as far down as the one on my right hand! If you missed that post you can see it here and let me tell you going through that again was probably worse then the first time! ):
Starry Pink
Hello everyone! Last time I wore this color I did black nail art over it which you can see here so this time I wanted do do something more delicate and whimsical with white. I used acrylic paint with a detail brush and dotting tool to do the swirls and dots. For the pink I first put two coats of Essie- 767 Raise Awareness then two coats of Revlon- Starry Pink. Thanks for reading!(:

orange flowers
Hi everyone! Thank you all so much for reading and joining my blog by following, it means a lot to me! First put two coats of NYC Long-Wearing Nail Enamel~ Times Square Tangerine Creme then two coats of China Glaze~ Riveting which I found on clearance at Ulta for $4.99! I think Riveting would have been fine on its own but I thought it was going to be less opaque then it was. To do the nail art I used a white and light gold Stripe Rite then in the flower petals I used a gold Kiss striper to fill it in. I hope you all have a fantastic rest of your day! (:

roses + breaking disaster
I went to my the pool with my brother and sister and the chlorine/bottom of the pool ALWAYS chips my nail polish! Luckily I had my camera on hand because earlier in the day since me and my sister went to the beach, so I got out of the pool and took some quick pictures! The glitter is China Glaze- Tinsel Town and can you believe that's two coats with nothing for a base! How crazyyy. I was super impressed! Then to do the rose I used white and pink acrylic paint with a detail brush.
I noticed the day before my thumb nail had cracked really far down and if I were to pull it, it would hurt so I just put a band-aid over it hoping that would keep it safe. Wellll in the pool it ended up ripping to about the center of my nail. My sister was like maybe they will have nail clippers in the first-aid kit so I asked the lifeguard and he said he didn't think so, so my sister was like well do you have those scissors and he wasn't sure, so he opened the bag and there they were! He had the little scissors but there's a catch... they were from about the 1800s.. completely COVERED in rust! It came off on my hand that's how bad it was. I said I probably shouldn't cut my nail off with rusted scissors just because who would? lol and that's not a very good fist-aid kit what if something actually happened and you needed those or something else metal in there but anyway I just had to rip it off...
Now I have one little stub, at least its my thumb nail though!
Have a great rest of your day everyone!(:

feathers & a special guest!
Hi everyone! I hope you all are going great! I did peacock feathers before(here) but I wanted to do more of an unrealistic take on them! First I put one coat of Ulta Salon Formula- High Roller then I put two coats of Elf- Golden Goddess. To do the feathers I used black acrylic paint and the darker blue is China Glaze- Shower Together and the lighter blue is China Glaze- For Audrey. The Elf nail polish dries matte so if you want it shiny make sure to add a top coat!(:
My old teacher had her sisters wedding to go to and knew I did nails so she asked if I would do hers and of course I said yes! Originally I was going to a french tip manicure with the lines on the side, like these but then we decided to do something more fun! The dark blue is Ulta Professional- Blue For You and the rest is acrylic paint. On the white dots I did put some silver glitter though. Thank you all so much for reading and joining me with my blog! It means so much to me!(:

Fashionable Friday!
Hi everyone!! For Fashionable Friday I'm going to show how to do these clouds with birds! If you don't know what Fashionable Friday is you can read about it here! Check out Maryanne she is so amazinggg! Now onto the nail art!
First paint your nails any color you want to use as the sky. I choose China Glaze- For Audrey.
Begin to make the clouds, first make one dot. I used a dotting tool with Ulta Salon Formula- Snow White.
Then put more dots around it until you get the desired look you want.
Continue the same step on another spot.
Once you run out of room move onto the next nail until all your nails are complete.
To do the birds all you have to do is make a small "m". I used a detail brush with black acrylic paint. If you don't want to do the birds you could have stopped with just the clouds and that would have been cute!
All that's left to do is apply a topcoat and you're done! I hope you all are having a fantastic day! (:
