A Polished Bookworm

Thursday, May 23, 2013

Hey everyone! I don't know about you but I had a REALLY long day and deserve a pretty mani! I was going to do starry night but I painted my nails blue and did a starry day instead! For this mani I used NYC Skyline for the base, NYC Starry Silver Glitter for the glitter, & my white nail pen for the stars! I hope you like it!

I got this polish today at Walmart. I also noticed that Sally Hansen has a new fuzzy nail polish line! I'm gonna have to buy some. The nail polish I got is NYC Times Square Tangerine Creme. So, that is probably the longest name for a nail polish I have ever heard.

It is a nice formula like almost all of the NYC polishes I have tried. Orange happens to be my favorite color so I may be biased by saying that this color is SUPER awesome! Very vibrant and pretty!

( My hand looks really weird :/)

Thanks for reading!!

Ah, Robin Moses. That women is freaking TALENTED. I could never pull of her nail designs but I can try! I have shorter nails than the lady in the video so they are a little weird. I had to take them off because I got a nail polish I have to swatch tonight but they were pretty while they lasted.

I just found out how to do watercolor nails, thanks to Nail Art 101! I like them, but I haven't mastered it yet but i'll get there! They are very subtle and pretty. I used Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet, NYC Skyline Blue, Sally Hansen Blue Me Away, & Maybelline Color Show Iced Queen.

Oh, today was interesting. We had a thunderstorm and it was pouring buckets. And my dad decided to go to Cub in the weather and I went with him. I swear, we almost died driving over there. Well not died but still. You could barely see anything. Then I had to go into cub with drenched hair, drenched clothes, and my mascara running down my face. Not pretty. I got 3 things while I was there. The Elf Nourishing Cuticle Pen, L.A. Colors Lightning, & L.A. Colors Splash. So it was worth all the rain. I used the Elf pen today but i'm not sure if it works well yet because its only been a day but I will let you guys know! Here are my swatches for my two new L.A Colors polishes.

L.A. Colors Lightning:

I have no clue why they named this polish Lightning. Lightning is yellow, and this polish is pink. But the pink is pretty. I took 3 coats but you could get away with two.

L.A. Colors Splash:

Now this name makes more sense. I like the color, very vibrant. It only takes 2 coats.

I made a facebook for this blog, to get more readers! So like that page up! Its on the sidebar. I have zig zags on my nails today. I got the how to from Nail Art 101. Love that blog! I also got 2 polishes that I will swatch soon!

Happy Friday! I am going to swatch the polishes I got today for you! I got 3 polishes and personally, I love all of them which is rare.

NYC Wine Bar:

Very pretty color! It is also a pretty great formula, espically for NYC. It is smooth and goes on in 3 coats.

Sally Hansen Sun Kissed:

I have wanted this color for a while. I was right, it is awesome! Very good formula to. Goes on in 2 coats.

Maybelline Color Show Iced Queen:

This is the first Maybelline polish that I have tried. I am suprised! It is very pretty and has a great formula.

Okay, I have two loves in my life. Nail art & Music. With this design I got to combine them, and they are rainbow! My love for nail art started about a half a year ago and I can say that I have come really far. My love for music started when I was born. Music has always been in my life. It has helped me through so much. I listen but I also play music. I know how to play the piano, flute, guitar, and I can sing. Alright, I will stop bragging and just show you my nails! :)

I was looking at my nail polish collection and realized that I didn't swatch these two nail polishes. I think I got them like a month ago to! Wow, I'm bad. So here they are, a month late.

Wet n Wild Sunny Side Up:

This was only a dollar at Walgreens. It is a pretty color but it's not as cool as it looks in the bottle. It is a good formula though. It is not see through by 2 coats and it is very smooth.
