#31DC2015 Day 1 Red


This is kind of a really impromptu dumb decision on my part. I mean I'm starting college classes, high school classes, and volunteering at my library this month. Yet I'm still deciding to do The 31 Day Challenge. I will probably end up combining days into one post and being super lazy. But I decided to do it because I love doing this challenge every year and it always makes me a stronger artist.


I used reinforcement labels to make this half moon manicure. I used China Glaze The Heat is On and O.P.I. Today I Accomplished Zero. I finished with Out The Door top coat.

Starting College off With Some Gradients

Hey guys. I feel super bad that I haven't blogged in a while! But I actually have a good excuse this time. I started college last week. So I have either been in class, doing homework, or being really nervous the whole week. I hope to start up a normal blogging schedule soon. For now here is a glittery tribal gradient I did a few weeks ago.



For this design I used O.P.I. My Paprika is Hotter Than Yours! and OY-Another Polish Joke! I used a black stripper from So Easy to free hand the tribal design. I finished with Seche Vite.

O.P.I. Nail Polish Haul


So my local Sally Beauty Supply had a sale on some O.P.I. polishes. The whole clearance section of the store was also 50% off the red sticker price. So I got all of these for $2.25 a piece!! Needless to say I picked up a lot of them. Enjoy the swatches below!

My Paprika is Hotter Than Yours!
 
My Paprika is Hotter Than Yours is a hot coral color with some shimmer. I totally missed the shimmer until it dried because its barely there. I think this is a really great color for summer! Shown below is two coats 
 without top coat. (Its a little bit more red and shimmery in real life. This polish was really hard to capture!)


 
Suzi Has A Swede Tooth

Suzi Has A Swede Tooth is a beautiful light pink creme. I think this one is really delicate and pretty! Shown below is two coats without top coat. 


 
OY-Another Polish Joke!

OY-Another Polish Joke! is a behind beautiful shimmery gold topper. I say its a topper because its thin but can be built up. This is one of my favorite polishes of all time! Its so beautiful!! Shown is two coats over it over Sally Girl Canary.



OPI...Eurso Euro

OPI.. Eurso Euro is an indigo creme. This is really nice! It reminds me a lot of Essie Butler Please. Shown is two coats without top coat.



Incognito in Sausalito

Incognito in Sausalito is a dark navy creme. I really like this one but I may be biased because I tend to love all dark blues. Shown is two coats without top coat.



Vant To Bite My Neck?

Vant To Bite My Neck? is a dark purple creme. I really love this one as well! Shown is two coats without top coat.



Muir Muir On The Wall

Muir Muir On The Wall is probably my second favorite polish of this haul. It has a light jelly black polish with tons of purple and gold shimmer. This is perfection. Shown below is three coats without top coat.

#31DC2 Day 12: Intricate

Hey guys! Today is the 11th day of the challenge. I love the idea of this prompt because its different for everyone, since everyone has a different style and skill level! For me, intricate is a design that is unique and takes a while to do. This probably isn't the most intricate design out there but the idea kept popping into my head.

I used all OPI for this design. The colors I used are Love.Angel.Music.Baby., Coca Cola Red, Get Cherried Away, and A Grape Affair. I free handed this with a nail art brush. Then I topped it all off with Essie Good to Go!

OPI Coca Cola Collection -1 Swatches and Review






Today I have swatches of the OPI Coca Cola collection for you all! I ended up getting the mini version of the collection from Ulta. Only when I got home, did I realize that the collection was missing one. From the collection I am missing Orange You Fantastic! which looks like this. But I'm still happy because I got 8 beautiful shades plus a base and top coat.

Coca Cola Red (Inspired by Coke):

Coca Cola Red is a traditional red creme. This is perfect in an ununique way. Shown is three coats without top coat.



Today I Accomplished Zero (Inspired by Coke Zero):

Today I Accomplished Zero is a black jelly with pink glitters. I personally love this, especially in natural light. Here is two coats with top coat.



My Signature is DC (Inspired by Diet Coke):



My Signature is DC is a bright silver foil. I am really not a fan of this polish because it is just too bright. The formula was great though. Shown is three coats without top coat.



You're So Vain-alla (Inspired by Vanilla Coke):

You're So Vain-alla is a light nude creme. As far as nudes go, I love this. Shown is three coats without top coat.



Sorry I'm Fizzy Today (Inspired by Diet Coke):

Sorry I'm Fizzy Today is a beautiful light pink creme. This is perfection in a bottle. Shown is two coats without top coat.






Get Cherried Away (Inspired by Coke Cherry):

Get Cherried Away is a blue black cherry creme. I like this just because it is so unique. Shown is 2 coats without top coat.



Green on the Runway (Inspired by Sprite):

Green on the Runway is a slight green/brown duochrome. This polish is amazing, its my new favorite from OPI. Shown is two coats without top coat.



A Grape Affair (Inspired by Fanta):

A Grape Affair is a dark purple creme. Grape pop is literally all I drink. I currently have three 12 packs hiding under my desk. Really, its a problem. So i'm naturally in love with this beautiful purple. Shown is two coats without top coat.



Which one is your favorite? Do you love these as much as I do? Leave your thoughts in the comments and thanks for reading!

Nail Polish Haul

Hey everyone! I know, I have been gone for a while now. Sorry about that, but I have had the stomach flu for close to a week. It has been miserable. The flu has been through my family and decided to come to me, I guess. I am just starting to get better now, but I'm still not at my best.

I went on a nail polish haul right before I got sick. I mostly went to Sally Beauty Supply but got the Sally Hansen polish at Target. I am really happy with all of these!



Sally Hansen Hypnautical:

Hypnautical is a blueish green jelly with blue and green glitters. This is the first polish that I have tried from the Triple Shine line. I ended up just using it as a glitter topper over Essie Turquoise Cacios. Here is one coat over Essie without top coat.




OPI Push and Shove:

Push and Shove comes in a special package with the base coat Lay Down That Base. Here is the package.


For a quick review of Lay Down that Base, it is incredible. It comes in a super mini bottle. It quicks super quick. Like within 20 seconds. Here is a picture of the bottle.


OPI Push and Shove:

Push and Shove is a silver chrome. It is said from OPI to have a "mirror like finish". I love this one so much, it is so original. It is almost a one coater as well. Here is two coats without top coat.




and here is a picture in the shade, where you can see its chrome finish better.



OPI I Sing In Color:

I Sing In Color is a vampy redish purple. When I first put it on, I was pretty surprised. It was purple. But it builds up to a more purplish red with the second coat. Here is two coats without top coat.




OPI Gaining Mole-mentum:

Gaining Mole-mentum has a clear base with shreded rose, gold, and silver glitters. This is from the limited edition Muppets Most Wanted collection. I saw it and just had to have it. It is so pretty and just such a unique shade overall. It has great glitter build up as well. Here is two coats over Elf Bubblegum Pink.




China Glaze Travel in Colour:

Travel in Colour is an irredescent topper. This can be used mostly on top of other colors, but if you want you can use it on the natural nail. I put two coats over I Sing In Color.





Thanks for reading and have a great day!
