Easy Peasy Party Nails

This was my New Years mani but it would work equally well for any partyfull occasion.
Step 1- layer down a chrome/foil base
Step 2- add your choice of glitter. 
Repeat step 2 until you have achieved Party Worthy results



Sally Hansen in Celeb City
Urban Outfitters in Sparkle


Even though this was pretty simple, I received lots of compliments on it. I guess sometimes its not about how intricate and detailed things are. 

Until next time ^_^

Snowflake Junkie

I'm actually not a big fan of snow... Yes, it is pretty and I did have lots of fun in it when I was a kid, but now it's just a pain. South Carolina is not equipped for snow so when it does, everything closes and people go in mass panic to stock up on milk and bread. Then the school has make up classes on Saturday and all the while you are stuck in the house because the roads are still icy. *ends rant*

but yes, snow is pretty :)

Index nail broke again :( after I put on polish too... and forgive the smudge on the ring finger. I dont even know what happened there....
Here is a little swatch of LuciDarling in Mint
it was a nice, fast drying, foil green color. 

Etude House in Mint
Sinful Colors in Nail Junkie
Sally Hansen in White Out

I love how Nail Junkie made the whole thing shimmer! flecks flecks everywhere :D

    Candy Nails (and unexpected glitter)

    its a cold and rainy night here in South Carolina, well colder than what I wish it were, so to cheer up the mood  I have for you: Candy Nails!!

    Kind of. They remind me of candy. Maybe theyll remind you of something else?

    Please excuse the "glitter fingers". We all know how much of a pain Glitter removal is >_<

    Just a little swatch of LuciDarling Tender Mint. It has a really nice shimmer that I cant resist!


    Candy Nails!
    Etude House in Tender Mint
    Petites Color Fever in Fiji
    Sally Hansen in Lively Lilac
    Zoya in Demi
    The lines are not very nice close up. For some reason, my hands were shaking like crazy! eh well, it looked nice from a not so zoomed distance :D

    Now on to the unexpected glitter...

    in my Etude House swatch post I showed you this little thingy:
    if the spoons look familiar, its because I used the empty side of the Zoya color Palette >_>
    The second polish from the left is simply called Black, but as you can see it has some nice green/teal glitter flecks
    I left this laying on my desk, and when I walked by it one morning, I noticed something else.
    not only  does it have green flecks, it also has purple!

    This sadly named Black polish is a lot more exciting than its name would make you believe.
    Can you guess what Ill be wearing next?

    Until next time ^_^

    Circles and Cells

    This mani was created out of boredom during my holiday break. I had been wearing BB Couture's Michael which held up like a beast! this color hardly chips, it's ridiculous! Michael is a very pretty purple with blue shimmer, but after 2 days of him, I needed a change. It's not him, it's me... >_>

    So out came the Konad!





    BB couture in Michael
    Chameleon in Calypso
    Etude House in Fantastic Heart Topcoat


    Turns out Calypso makes a neat stamping color. Subtle but pretty :D 
    And the BM stamp kind of reminds me of the cells we had to draw in Bio class

    Until next time ^_^

    Because Zoya is awesome

    I decided to do a mani using a couple of my favorite Zoya colors in celebration of the amazing promotion they  had this week ^_^ 3 free bottles of good quality polish of my choice? beyond awesome!

    I used a trick from Chloe's Nails that she called the shredded mani. Click on the link to see how to do it for yourself. It really is super easy!





    Zoya in Charla
    Zoya in Ibiza

    If you have ever seen Charla for yourself, than you know that this picture does not do it justice. It is simply amazing. A foiley blue base with green micro glitter creates polish perfection.
    Ibiza, though not as fancy, is a remarkable navy creme.

    So there you go! A thanks to Zoya for their amazing promotion. I can't wait to get my stuff in the mail!

    Until next time ^_^

    Black Holo Goodness!

    Hello all

    Today I have a simple little mani to show off my new black holo from Etude House



    The color was so shiny and shimmery that I didnt really want to cover it up so I just added some silver swirly stamps



    Etude House Black Glam
    Sally Hansen Celeb City

    The only downside to this color is how weirdly it dried... It was very matte and bumpy...
    Took about 3 coats of Seche Vite to get this result
    in the end however, I do like Black Glam. It's a lot more holoey than my Petites Color Fever which is what I was hoping for! Maybe one day I can get my hands on My Private Jet *_*

    Until next time ^_^
