Hello everyone! Today is my birthday! I turn sweet sixteen and I have yet to get a license or even start my classes. I'm going shopping and out to eat later today to celebrate!

For my birthday nails, I wanted to do my favorite design: gradient. And my favorite colors: orange & blue. So that is exactly what I did! I LOVE these! The gradients are probably the best I have done. I also really like this color combo!

For the gradients I used Pure Ice Naughty Girl and China Glaze So Blue Without You.

For my pointer finger I used Elf Prissy Chrissy and China Glaze Oxidized Aqua.

For my ring finger I used Elf Prissy Chrissy and Essie Stroke of Brilliance.

I will probably do a major nail polish haul for my birthday! Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Hey! Do you like the pretty new design of the blog? I worked on it for at least 2 hours last night. I think its a lot more simple and pretty. There are some new features with the design.

Reactions- by the bottom of the preview, an easy way to tell me what you think!
Social Media Icons- I had social media widgets before but these are so much more pretty and professional!
Contact/PR- I added a contact and PR section to my about me page. The contact has my email!

So today I have half of the China Glaze Metal Crackle collection today for you! There was a sale going on at big lots, they were $1.80 a piece! So yes, I freaked out and bought all 3 of them. I have Cracked Medallion, Latticed Lilac, and Oxidized Aqua. I put all of these over Sinful Color's Black on Black.

Cracked Medallion:

Cracked Medallion is a bronze crackle polish. This one is really pretty and it cracked really well.

Latticed Lilac:

Latticed Lilac is light purple crackle polish. This one crackled really well but I'm not a big fan of the color.

Oxidized Aqua:

Oxidized Aqua is an aqua blue crackle polish. This one is my favorite of them all. It doesn't crackle really great but the color is so pretty.
