Alligator Skin

I am all over this Pure Ice First Time!! I love this green color, it's absolutely gorgeous! This is one coat of First Time with e.l.f. Matte Finisher top coat and then OPI Black Shatter over it! I love this look :)

I like how it cracked on my thumb, forefinger and middle finger the best. I like the thinner cracks. I used a thinner coat on those fingers. On my ring & pinky I used a thicker coats and it had larger cracks. It's pretty awesome though! Looks like alligator skin

Queen, of course ;) You'd be surprised how much room I can take up with my little body!

C. Chore you hate:
Doing laundry! It takes foreverrrrrrrrr. I hate waiting!

D. Day:
Thursdays because that's my day off work (along with Sunday & every other Saturday) and I always go up to see my best friend!

E. Essential start to your day:
Something to drink! I am always so thirsty when I wake up. I usually drink coffee, tea or fruit juice, orange juice is my favorite ;)

F. Favourite Colour
Yellow, is that weird? Everyone tells me that's weird. I also love pink and purple.

G. Gold or Silver
Silver, hands down. Silver is just my favorite. I loveeeee gold make up/eyeshadow, but not gold jewelry!

H. Height
5'1" yes I am very short. People like to tell me "OMG, you're the first person I've met that is shorter than me!" when they first meet me. >_>

I. Instruments:
HAHAHAHAHA, nooooo. I am not musically talented. I can play super easy stuff on the piano, I wish I was better because I love piano but it hurts my wrist. I'd also likes to learn to play violin.

J. Job title:
I work in the office at a Nissan & Hyundai dealership.

K. Kids:

I've been to the hospitals for many surgeries but none of them required me to stay overnight!

P. Pet Peeve:
A few of my biggest: when people don't shut my bedroom door when they leave ( I HATE OPEN DOORS!) and at work- I answer the phones- people will call and say "Um you called me?" No, no I did not. I do not make any phone calls whatsoever (except to my mom sometimes) I just answer the phone. Or when people say "uhhhhhhhhh who is this?" Uhhhhh you called ME, shouldn't you know who you are calling!? GAAAHHHH.

Sand Trapez

See! I told you I can't keep the same nail polish on for very long!! Yesterday I bought my first Essie nail polish! I have never used Essie before and I was a little skeptical about paying eight bucks for nail polish sold at CVS. This polish was fifty percent off and I have been looking for a good nude color so I couldn't pass on buying it. This is Essie - Sand Trapez :

and as you can see, I added some white flower nail stickers

I will DEFINITELY be buying more Essie polish! The application was absolutely amazing! This is two coats. It went on soooooooo smoothly and perfectly! I love it! And honestly, it's exactly what I wanted. I am so happy! :)

Army green chrome w/ cute flowers

Alright, so I'm sure it's no secret (especially to my close friends) that I cannot keep one color or design on for more than like... two or three days haha. However, I got a fabulous chrome army green color last night so I had to try a design with it :P Hope you enjoy!

Pure Ice "First Time" with SH Xtreme Wear "White Out" and Pure Ice "Black Rage"

I ordered some dotting tools off of Ebay last week and they arrived in the mail yesterday, so I had to try them out as well! I have never used dotting tools before (can you tell? haha) but they are super easy to use! :)

Enjoy what's left of your weekend!

Justin Bieber Nail Art!

Hello everyone!! I hope you are all having a good weekend so far! :) After I got off work yesterday I went to go see one of my best friends and she had several bottles of polish waiting for me! She enables my addiction ;) hehe. Two of the bottles were Nicole by OPI from the JB collection (I want all of them!) They were Step 2 The Beat of My Heart and One Less Lonely Glitter! Ahhh she knows me too well, those were my two favorites :)

All nails two coats of Jesse's Girl - Spring Break. Thumb & ring finger topped with One Less Lonely Glitter. Forefinger, middle finger & pinky finger has two hearts from Step 2 the Beat of my Heart.

Andddd here's a view of the bottles :)

I'm so in love with this! Perfect weekend manicure :) <3 Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

WnW Swatches

Hello everyone!

Okay so here are the swatches from the Summer Nail Pail I blogged about on Sunday. I was in a hurry because I was running late for a lunch date with my best friend. So these are suuuuuuper sloppy! However, they are all pretty true to color so that's why I am posting them! Enjoy :)

Everybody Loves Redmond - 2 Coats

FuschiaRama - 3 Coats

How I Met Your Magenta - 3 Coats

HORRIBLE application! The formula is waaay too thick and goopy. It was a nightmare using this polish! But I really like the color! :)

Sage in the City - 1 or 2 Coats

Possibly my favorite of this collection!

Saved by the Blue - 2 Coats

Teal or No Teal - 2 Coats

The Wonder Yellows - 2 coats

TGIF, have a great weekend everyone!

I'm so proud :)

Happy Thursday! It's almost the weekend :) This is actually a few weeks old... my friend got her nails done professionally but never went for a fill-in, so her acrylic grew out for about four-ish weeks. It just so happens that I bought everything I need to do my own acrylic nails for my birthday. I did my acrylics but never took a picture! They were really thick, but not bad looking for my first time (and not having a nail drill to smooth everything!) I was so proud! Anyway, so I told her I would fill them in and paint them and so on... so here is the end result!

You can see that they are not completely smooth, but whatever! I did the purple tips (wet n wild - buffy the violet slayer) and the glitter (kiss nail art glitter) free hand :) SO proud of myself! haha! And then on her ring finger, I used a small white and silver butterfly sticker. I think they turned out GREAT for me having basically no practice or training lol 

Have a great day!

Wet N' Wild.. I love finding good deals!

Hello everyone!

So I was at CVS checking out the new Mermaid's Cove collection of Wet N Wild and I stumbled across this awesome little gift set that they had! Its a little summer nail pail that contains seven of the fastdry polishes, toe separators, a nail file, and a little nail art kit with some stencils and a bottle of white nail art polish. And it was only $9.99! Which is awesome because the polish alone would have cost about $14. So here's a picture of it!

The package (so cute!)

Spring green!

I am so excited for the warmer weather! Although I love winter, I'm ready to break out the shorts & sun dresses :) In honor of the warm weather here in NC, I decided to do a cute springy green mani :) Hope you like it!

Jesse's Girl - Midori

Here, I added some simple nail art to jazz up this cute mani :)

My first scotch tape mani!

Good afternoon :) So since I'm finished with all of my exams I had time to play around with my nails today! YAY! I even had time to clean my room finally haha. So I decided to try doing a scotch tape mani :)

Ahhhhh I love it! :D 

For this mani I used and old NYC nail polish.. it doesn't have a name but the number is 108A? Idk, it's one of my favorite pinks :X

And the brown in Sinful Colors - Nirvana.

The flower on my ring finger is also Nirvana stamped with BM03 <3

Hope you all have a fabulous Monday and good luck to everyone who still have exams!

Kiss My Art!

Hello ladies :) Okay so I meant to post this earlier, but here was my mani this week! I didn't have my camera at the time so prepare for super crappy phone-cam pictures! ANYWAY, This is SH- Blue Me Away! with FP- Kiss My Art over top :) I absolutely LOVE this combo, but the SH polish stains your nails blue pretty badly!

This is an EXTREMELY sparkly polish and I hate that I couldn't really capture that. In fact, the only reason I am even bothering to post this is because the picture is very true to color :) I will def be doing this mani again soon and I will add better picture!  

I hope everyone had a great weekend :)

Gold Kiss

Hey ladies! I hope you all had a good start to the week! This week is going to be so insane for me.... it's exam week! I have four papers due by Friday, luckily the are all short and will be super easy! ANYWAAAAY, here's a design I did and I think it turned out awesome! :) I'm starting to get a hang of this stamping thing!

Cool, huh!? I used a Sinful Colors base coat and then two coats of Finger Paints "Key to my Art" stamped with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in "Speedy Sunburst" with BM02. That is easily my favorite bundle monster plate!!
