Deadly Sins Challenge- Greed Day 5!

So I had a problem. I love music along with nail art. Music is actually like my life. I love to play the guitar and you really can't do that with longer nails. So I cut them. I also decided that I base this blog on SHORT nail designs. I miss my long nail but this way I can do everything that I love. So, these are yesterday's nails. I forgot to post again. I'm soo lazy. c: Yesterday started greed and with it said " Go wild and use your most expensive and precious polish." So I used Essie Turquoise & Caicos. It is the most expensive polish that I have.




Have a great day! c:

Deadly Sins Challenge- Gluttony Day 4!

Hey there! Today is day 4 of the deadly sins challenge! Today said, "Skip your diet, and paint something that makes your stomach growl!". I painted cupcakes! I have seen cupcakes nail everywhere but I had never tried them. I actually think that I did pretty good for the first time around!






I used Sally Hansen Sun Kissed, L.A. Colors Lightning, China Glaze White on White, Maybelline Iced Queen, Pure Ice Wild Thing, and Finger Paints Brilliant Brushstroke! :)

Have a great day (or night)!

Deadly Sins Challenge- Gluttony Day 3

Hola! For day 3 of the challenge it said, "Delight yourself with a sugar spun inspired manicure." I knew what they were but I had never done one. So this is my first sugar spun manicure! I didn't get it at first but I did okay at the end. So don't judge!


I used China Glaze White on White, Sally Hansen Blue Me Away, Sally Hansen Breezy Blue, and Candies Jump for Jade!

Have a great day and let me know what you think!

Deadly Sins Challenge- Lust Day 2

Hello! Sorry about my laziness. I started the challenge like 3 days ago and I am just now posting day two. I did them but forgot to actually do a blog post about them. Silly me! So day 2 says, "Let your body talk and feel free to do whatever you want." I have seen these really cool multi-stripe designs on some other blogger's nails so I thought that I would try it out! They aren't bad, but they are a little messy.






I used Sally Hansen Sun Kissed, Sally Hansen Golden-1, Candies Jump for Jade, and my nail art pen!

Have a great day!

Deadly Sins Challenge- Lust Day 1

Hey ladies and gentleman! I actually started the deadly sins nail challenge yesterday but I was way to lazy to do a blog post at midnight. I was really tired so there will be two posts today, yesterday's and today's nails. Here is the guide for the deadly sins challenge!

 

So today is the first day of the lust category and it says "Be a bad girl and make something you have wanted to do soo badly". So what I wanted to do was to draw on my nails with sharpie. I have heard some good and bad reviews on using sharpie for your nails. It was fine for me personally. It did smear a little bit when I put my top coat on. I used China Glaze I'm With The Lifeguard for these nails and a fine point sharpie.

Swatches: China Glaze Wave Runner Ombre Set

Hey there! Today I was SUPER excited when I went to Sally's Beauty Shop. I probably spent a half an hour in there. I ended up getting a base coat and the China Glaze wave runner ombre set! I am reviewing and swatching the China Glaze set here! These were actually were my first China Glaze polishes that I bought and over all I was very impressed. At the end, you will see what they look like as an ombre!


The set:

China Glaze White on White:

This is probably my best white polish I have. I goes on great in two coats. It is very vibrate too, If you can say that about a white color. It dries very quick too! Love it!


China Glaze Celtic Sun:

I love the color of this polish but I hate the formula. I had some MAJOR problems with this one. It took about 6 or 7 coats. Plus on my middle and ring finger, the new polish would take off the old stuff. Yes I waited for it to dry and it still did it.

  

China Glaze I'm With The Lifeguard:

Love this polish and the formula! It dried so quickly, I couldn't believe it! I also only took 2 coats!

 

 China Glaze Frostbite:

This polish is great! I love the color and its formula. It goes on in 2 coats and dries very fast!


 Ombre of the four:


 Truthfully, I think these look a little weird as an ombre. The blue is way to dark for the rest of them. So I mostly just bought the set because it was a great deal. Four China Glaze polishes for 15 dollars is a steal.

Have a great day!

Pastel with silver dots!

Hey everyone!!  Finals this week! Uggh. Anyway, I have seen these really cute manis with silver or gold dots on them. I thought they are really cute! So I tried it! I think they look pretty good. I always have a problem with doing rainbow nails because I only have 5 fingers and there are 6 main colors in the rainbow. Sorry for the ramble. Have a good day!

Swatches: Sally Hansen & Wet n Wild

I actually bought these polishes on Saturday! I am so lazy with posting right now, I apoligize! I bought Sally Hansen Breezy Blue, Sally Hansen Crushed, Wet n Wild Caribbean Frost, & Wet n Wild Blazed.

Sally Hansen Breezy Blue:

I love this blue. It is very light and subtle. It goes good with almost all skin tones to. I did have to use 3 coats of it though because it is pretty light.



 

Sally Hansen Crushed:

The color of this polish is great but there is an issue I have with it. I had to use 3 coats and it still is a little see threw on my pointer finger.  But other then that, I love it!




Wet n Wild Blazed:

This color is pretty cool. It is a pinkish orange in person. Took 2 coats. 




Wet n Wild Caribbean Frost:

I saved the best (In my opinion) for last. I love this color! It reminds my mermaids. Don't ask me why because I have no clue! It also goes on in 2 coats! 


 



 Have a great day!

Sea Inspired Nails

Ugh, Sorry for my lack of posting lately. I have had a few things going on lately. First of all, I have finals next week so i'm rage studying. It sucks so bad. I also have been really tired and didn't get up until 3 pm today. That is like 15 hours of sleep and i'm still tired. So i'm sorry for my laziness. These are yesterday's nails. I actually think that they are one of the best nail designs that I have done! First I did a gradient in the background with Sally Hansen Breezy Blue, Wet n Wild Caribbean Frost, Sally Hansen Blue Me Away, and Finger Paints Art of Theft. Then I used my white and black nail pen to make bubbles and an anchor! I hope you have a great day!
