Deadly Sins Challenge: Pride Day 13

Hey! I have been soo lazy today. I got up at 7:30 and started watching the True Blood marathon! I have been watching ever since! I may be a little bit obsessed. Today's mani was to recreate one of my manis! I recreated my blue ombré mani. It's okay but I'm not very happy about it.




                     Have a great day!

Deadly Sins Challenge: Envy Day 12

Hello fellow polish addicts! I had a lot of fun on today's mani and I love it! You can tell because I took like a zillion pictures of it! Today was the first day that I didn't have to clean up my mani AT ALL. Like I had my q-tips and acetone ready, but I didn't use I once. I was super proud! Plus, I really do like this mani. The challenge for today said, "Let the green monster guide you to some enviable nails." So what I got from that is that I am supposed to do a really pretty green mani! In this mani I used China Glaze I'm with the lifeguard, Nabi Metallic Lime, and my nail art pen.




Okay, maybe not a zillion pictures but still more than my normally one. 
Have a great day (or night in my case!)

Swatches: 6.14.13

Hi there! I got some polishes at Walmart today! I got Sinful Colors Hazard and Maybelline Color Show Keep Up The Flame. I like both of them!

Sinful Colors Hazard:

I love the color of this polish. It is actually a coral in person, even though these pictures are more orange. It goes on pretty thick though and it takes a while to dry. So it isn't perfect. It is almost a one coater! But I did use two in these pictures.






Maybelline Color Show Keep Up The Flame:

I like this color a lot. It screams fierce at me. It looks exactly like it does in the pictures. I used two coats and there weren't any formula problems.




Have a good day!

Deadly Sins Challenge: Envy Day 11

Hey guys! I haven't slept in like 24 hours. So dead right now! But here I am, blogging. Anyways, today said "Who do you want to be? Let us know by recreating an artist's work!" So I recreated Lisa from Nail Art 101's neon pattern nails. She is basically the reason I started doing nail art because of her super awesome tutorials! I know these aren't really neon, but they follow the design.

Have a great day while I try to not collapse from sleep deprivation!

Deadly Sins Challenge: Wrath Day 9

Hey there! I just posted day 10 and realized that I haven't even finished day 9 yet! So here I am! Day 9 said "Get mad trying, again, that technique you know it will be a failure." Well I choose to splitter paint my nails. Last time I tried it was a total failure and this time is no exception.

Have a good day!

Deadly Sins Challenge: Wrath Day 10

Hey guys! I'm pulling an all night tonight! Hence the late post. Today said "Find something that blows your top and express it with art!". So Im straight but im a big gay marriage supporter. I have 2 cousins that are gay and I think they should be able to get married. So it annoys me when people say gay or faggot offensively. So today I did a gay pride nails. If you dont like them thats okay but please no hate.

Have a great day!

Deadly Sins Challenge- Sloth Day 8!

Hey! I'm really tired so this post will be short! These are my nails for todays challenge which said "Create a manicure by your laziness... or whatever.... im really tired." So this describes me perfectly. I am so incredibly lazy. My most lazy trait is that i LOVE sleep. I sleep like at least 12 hours a day because its the summer. So this mani is based of my sleeping problem! Like counting the clouds till I fall asleep. :)





Let me know what you think and have a good night!

Deadly Sins Challenge: Sloth Day 7/ Watercolor tutorial

Hey pretties! Today's challenge says "Don't try too hard but explain everyone how to do something really easy... (tutorial)" Well, i'm sorry but I AM going to explain it well. Or at least try to! I haven't done a tutorial in a while so i'm pretty excited about doing one! It is on how to watercolor your nails. But don't be fooled, they aren't really watercolors. You just use normal polish with acetone! Also, random but I made a twitter for the blog! Just search Kacey's Nails. I'm new to twitter so stay with me! So on to the tutorial..!

First, paint your nail white with top coat on top. Don't forget the top coat, its important!

Next pick at least 2 colors!

Put 2 SMALL dots on your nail, get a nail brush and dip it in your acetone. Then dab the polish around the nail.

Do it again with your next color and so on. You nail won't look as gritty, my brush was just really suckish.

Put on top coat and your done. Don't forget the topcoat! Even though you nails won't be AS gritty as mine, they still won't be smooth.

This takes some patience to master so don't give up. 
Enjoy and have a great day! :)

Deadly Sins Challenge: Greed Day 6

Today said: Remember, more is more, don't hold yourself back. So I instantly thought of mix up nails. I love mix up nails personally. They show a lot of creative and they are really random. I took more pictures today to capture the nails! Let me know what you think!

 These are all of the nails :)


 For the pointer finger I used China Glaze White on White and Finger Paints Art of Theft.
For my middle finger I used China Glaze White on White and my nail art pen.
For my ring finger I used Sally Girl Banana and Pure Ice Endless Fortune.
For my pinky I used Sally Hansen Sun Kissed and Sally Hansen Crushed.


For my thumb I used Finger Paints Brilliant Brushstroke and China Glaze White on White.

Have a great day!
