Christmas Tips!

Hello ladies! I hope you had a lovely weekend! Sorry that I have been MIA since Friday. I did a lot of Christmas shopping with my mom and also wrapped LOTS of presents! It was nice :) I am definitely in the holiday spirit! So I did my first Christmas mani of the season! I hope you enjoy!

What I used:

OPI - Natural nail base coat

Sally Hansen - natural french manicure base

Index and ring fingers: two coats of China Glaze - Ring in the Red

Middle finger and pinky: two coats of China Glaze - Jolly Holly

All tips were topped with one coat of China Glaze - Party Hearty and lined with Sinful Colors - Flower Girl

Topped with Seche Vite of course :)

What do you think!?

I did this mani Friday night and took pictures today so you can see some tip wear... sorry about that!

Share the Love: Day 5. Wrapping up my 5 Days of Glitter!

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and if you are shopping today or already did your shopping on Black Friday, I hope you get everything you need and don't get trampled lol! Today is the last day in my journey with four other amazing bloggers in our Share the Love week. We each did a guest post on each other's blogs and we're finishing up the week by posting our last themed mani on our own blogs. As you may know, my theme for the week was glitter (honesly.. are you surprised? lol). I figured in honor of Black Friday and the big kick-off for Christmas shopping I would do a Christmas themed glitter manicure. I really like how this came out!

What I used:

OPI- Natural Nail Base Coat

Sally Hansen - French manicure natural color

China Glaze - Twinkle Lights (tips)

Sinful Colors nail art - Be My Valentine (red)

Sinful Colors nail art - Jungle (green)

Seche Vite - top coat

Don't forget to check out my guest posts from this week on everyone's blog! I really enjoyed doing this with such great bloggers! I met several awesome people and I am thankful for that! :) You girls ROCK!

Zombie Stitches

Hey everyone! I have yet another awesome Halloween mani for you. I call this Zombie Stitches! Haha. The base color is some french manicure base from Sally Hansen, the green is Sonia Kashuk - Fatigued and the black stitches were done with a Kiss nail art brush. I was inspired by MaD Mani's Frankenstein post the other day and that's how I came up with this. Here is a link to her post: Click here!

The stitches were a little longer than I had wanted but I still really like it! I don't have much experience with using the striper brushes and they can be a pain in the butt! If you have any tips please let me know! :)

Fatigued

This is probably my favorite color for fall.. and not just for nail color! This color looks awesome on me :) I have an olive skin tone and I dye my hair a deep burgundy color so green really compliments me! I love green! This is two coats of Sonia Kashuk - Fatigued.  This will most definitely be my fall go-to color!

What's your fall go-to color?

Mini-Haul x3 !

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii :) Okay so I am suuuuuuuuuuuper excited to tell you guys this! Today, I had to run to Sally's because I needed polish remover. When I walked in, I went straight for the clearance bins! I COULD NOT BELIEVE MY EYES! Two, yes, TWO of the polishes I have been meaning to grab were on clearance for $1.99!! So, of course, I grabbed both (what a steal!) They were China Glaze - Papaya Punch and Orly - Bubbly Bombshell! If that wasn't awesome enough, I had a package waiting for me when I got home!!!! A few weeks back, I won a giveaway from You nailed it! Well I received my package in the mail today!!! The package included three mini nail polishes: China Glaze - Atelier Tulle, Orly - Hook Up & Color Club... but I don't know the name of it! I don't know where the names are located on the bottles because this is my first color club polish! But I can tell you that it is a BEAUTIFUL metallic-y blue. I must say, I was impressed with how well this polish applied!! :)  I absolutely ADORE every polish she sent :) <3 <3 <3

Here's a pic of all the bottles:

The Color Club polish didn't fit into the first picture with all of the bottles :( !

As you can see, I also picked up three additional polishes as well: Sally Girl - Pea-Body, Sinful Colors - Pink Forever & Verbena. And for all of these polishes I only payed $9!! :)

If you haven't checked out or are already following You nailed it! then definitely go check her out, she's fabulous!!! (I provided a link above, but here is another one: click here! :)

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

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!
