Easter Nail Challenge - Day One: Grass/Flowers

Yay! Two posts in a row! Just teasing. Today is the start of a fun Easter Nail Challenge thought up by Corrinne over at Galactic Lacquer. Everyone is welcome to join in the fun. It's obviously an Easter themed challenge and it's a short challenge so that makes it even more appealing. I finished my attempt of hand painting the tulips last night and added the stripes this morning. I was bummed when I added my top coat because it smeared my tulips even after drying over night. And as you guys know, when I'm...

Fun with Pastels

I've been feeling really awful about neglecting my nails and my blog. With that said I told myself to get it together and get back to what I love doing. So I re-created a simple but Spring, appropriate manicure to motivate me back into doing my nail art. I wish I could find the original poster of this design to give her credit. They are so simple but so cute! Here is my inspiration.  Close...but I need some dotting practice ...

Julie G - Frosted Gumdrop Collection (Part One)

I'm very excited to show everyone some of Julie G's Frosted Gumdrop Collection. I pre-ordered this yummy collection from Julie's website Jesse's Girl Cosmetics for $20.01. A price I felt was extremely affordable for a new collection containing six polishes. This collection is right on trend with the sand and pixie polishes carried by O.P.I and Zoya. The even better news is that Julie G's polishes are sold at Rite Aide for $3.99 where O.P.I and Zoya are $9 each. The whole Frosted Gumdrop collection has great formula and...

Sunset Gradient Chevrons

Hi all. I have a quick post for you showing you my sunset gradient, I love gradients and love using tape. Soooo ta-da! I really love these three colors together. Looking at it, it makes me think of fun and happy things. The gradient on my pink is my favorite. It looks perfect to me. Please ignore my tip wear, this manicure was two days old by the time I got to take photos, and I really slacked on hydrating my hands.  Do certain colors make you feel a certain way or think of certain things? What is your favorite colors to...

February Nail Polish Haul

As I had mentioned in a previous post, February was an amazing nail polish month for me. Between buying polishes, winning giveaways and an amazing coupon clipping adoptive mom who likes to spoil me, I hit the jackpot. In February I believe I gained sixty-four new nail polishes. Honestly it could be more than sixty-four, but I can't remember when I bought three Kleancolor mini sets, and since I'm not sure, I'm not including them in this haul. I have to admit I went a bit overboard. But it's polish and well worth it! Pixie Pink, Black...

Pastel Stripes

February was an amazing nail polish month for me. (Haul coming soon) I got some many polishes in February it's hard to pick just one polish to wear. I've also been trying to do more nail art. So in combination with lots of polish choices and wanting to do nail art I came up with the following pastel stripes. I like the way this manicure came out. It wasn't too time consuming and let me use several of my new colors.  What does everyone think? Do you think one stripe pattern is better or like the mixture of patterns? Colors...

Julep - Simone

Yesterday I received my March Julep maven box which contained two polishes. Today I am showing you one of the two. Here is Simone. Simone is a delicate lilac purple with a very subtle opalescent shimmer. Formula is a little runny, but still provides great coverage in just two coats. No top coat in this photo. In this picture of the bottle you can see the subtle opalescent shimmer. Perfect for spring. I really enjoy adding this pretty pastel to my collection. Product Information Brand...
