Naked Green & Blue Tweed Using the OPI Color Paints!

Hey guys! Today I have some tweed nails over my naked nails to share!

School has been a little busy again lately, but I'm going to try and get back to posting once a day! I'm really excited for Halloween because I'm going to be Colombia from Rocky Horror Picture Show! I think by then I'll be pretty much over my cold which will be very lovely!

Today's post will be pretty brief, so let's get onto it!

Naked Green & Blue Tweed Using the OPI Color Paints

After a coat of base coat (Orly Bonder) I went in with three of the OPI Color Paints and a thin striper brush!

Sally Hansen Cheery On Top Over Bare Nails!

Hey everyone! Today I have some naked glitter nails to share!

So I've been feeling a cold coming on for a while and after feeling better and deciding I wasn't actually going to get sick, it hit me like a ton of bricks. I think I will basically just go to sleep when I get home (at seven at the latest) and definitely go straight into bed! I hardly slept last night, so that in itself makes me excited to go through my day and just get it over with :P.

Onto the nails!

What you see here is simply one coat of Sally Hansen Cheery On Top between a coat of base coat and top coat!

It has quite good coverage and was super easy to work with!

What do you guys think of this polish or this look? I'm all about looks where bare nail shows so I'm kind of into this! It's still a bit girly for my liking.

Thanks so much for having a look everyone! I'll be back with some tweed nails! Happy Monday!

Dark Mix & Match Featuring China Glaze Choo-Choo Choose You!

Hey guys! Today I have some mix and match nails to share!

So yesterday we actually went through a haunted house and then a maze and it was so fun! I wasn't actually too scared and definitely wasn't the most scared in our group which was cool!

Onto the nails!

Dark Mix & Match Featuring China Glaze Choo-Choo Choose You

For this look, I used Sally Hansen Slick BlackL'oreal Rose To The Occasion, American Apparel Hassid and China Glaze Choo-Choo Choose You! I really didn't like these much and they are very worn and not cleaned up well, but I post every look I wear so whatever!

Thanks so much for taking a look everyone! I'll be back tomorrow with some Sally Hansen glitter nails! Happy Saturday! :)

Navy & Purple Dry Marble with Some Hex Nail Jewelry!

Hey everyone! Today I have some dark dry marble nails to share!

Last night we went to a horror movie, and tonight we're going to a haunted house and then another horror movie! I swear I'll have a heart attack before the weekend is over!

Anyways, onto the nails!

Navy & Purple Dry Marble with Some Hex Nail Jewelry

To start, I applied one coat of American Apparel Mount Royal. On one nail at a time, I applied a second coat of Mount Royal followed by a few blobs of Sonia Kashuk Jewel Orchid right from the brush from the bottle. With a striping brush, I swirled the two colours around until it looked cool!

With some top coat, I decided to add some Hex Nail Jewelry charms because I love these things! They are reusable and I probably have close to 50 by now!

Iridescent Hoop Tape Nails Featuring Some China Glaze The Giver Polishes!

Hey everybody! Today I have some cool iridescent hoop tape nails to share!

I woke up today with the cold I've felt coming on for a while now. At least I have today off to relax in bed with Paul and do some school work!

Onto the nails!

Iridescent Hoop Tape Nails Featuring Some China Glaze The Giver Polishes

I started off with two coats of Intelligence, Integrity & Courage (grey) on some nails and History of the World (blue-toned purple) on the others.

After that had dried, I cut up some hoop tape and placed strips and pieces on two nails per hand. It was difficult to get them to lay flat and some edges came up while I wore these, despite using two layers of top coat.

I then realized another new polish I got on sale would go with this, so I painted a coat of OPI Visions of Georgia Green on top of one nail per hand.

What do you lovely people think of this look? I fancy a salon-style mani every once and a while so I quite liked these even though they were quite girly!

Thanks so much for reading everyone! I got my looks in the wrong order so now you'll be seeing the vampy dry marble tomorrow! Happy Wednesday! =)

Fall Stained Glass Using the OPI Color Paints!

Hey everyone! Today I have some jewel-toned stained glass nails to share!

I am almost falling asleep as I write this with my kitty Paul laying with my arm around him and his head on my chest. He's the nicest kitty we've ever had and he especially loves me which makes me feel so special! He's drifting in and out of sleep and soon I will be too. It's going to be an early night!

Onto the nails!

Fall Stained Glass Using the OPI Color Paints

I started off with a black lattice using American Apparel Hassid and a striper brush. I'm really into this design lately and I think it turns out better each time!

Next, I went in with five of the OPI Color Paints (Landscape Artist, Turquoise Aesthetic, Indigo Motif, Purple Perspective and Magenta Muse) on a small paintbrush.

That's about all I can think to say about this look in my tired and sick-feeling state, other than the fact that I love these! What do you guys think of them?

Blue Sheer Marble with Peach Curved Lines Featuring Some OPI Color Paints!

Hey everybody! Today I have some blue marble nails with peach accents to share!

So I survived another eight and a half hours of classes and labs with no breaks today! I'm honestly worried I won't survive one of these crazy Mondays this year. My immunology midterm went really well and now I'm just so glad to be home and in bed. We raced over to the polling station after school and I made it in time to vote! So I guess today was pretty successful but after not sleeping well last night and being out for so long today I don't feel so great. Tomorrow I'm sure I will though!

Onto the nails!

Blue Sheer Marble with Peach Curved Lines Featuring Some OPI Color Paints; Turquoise Aesthetic and Indigo Motif

I started off like I did for my rainbow marble nails, stippling on blobs of colour and allowing them to overlap. I used OPI Turquoise Aesthetic, Indigo Motif and Revlon Royal.

Next, I went in with OPI Where Did Suzi's Man-Go? and a striper brush.

What do you guys think of these nails? I quite liked them and I love the colour combination!

OPI Color Paints Rainbow Horizontal Gradient!

Hey everyone! Today I have a super easy rainbow horizontal gradient using the OPI Color Paints to share!

I have an immunology midterm tomorrow so today will probably be spent curled up in my bed studying and cuddling my cat Paul. He always supports me when I'm studying, to the point where the day after I'm done studying he'll still be in my room all day! He's such a cutie.

Onto the nails!

OPI Color Paints Rainbow Horizontal Gradient

Because I had eight colours, I needed to have three nails with two colours and two with three colours. I decided to go with the traditional accent nails; the thumb and ring finger.

I went in with the first colour for most of the nails and the first and last colour for the accent nails. After allowing that to dry, I went in with the last and middle colours, creating the overlap.

Though these nails did turn out a bit cool, I'd prefer them if I had have done a proper gradient with a sponge.

So, what do you guys think? If you're not yet convinced that the Color Paints are amazing I have more looks featuring them coming at you!

Thanks so much for having a look everyone! I'll be back with a few different marbled looks! Happy Sunday! =)

Squishy Rainbow Marble Using the OPI Color Paints & A Mint and Lilac Look On Top!

Hey everyone! Today I have some super fun rainbow marble nails as well as a mint and lilac look I did on top to share!

Rather than talk a lot about my plan to start posting on here once a day, I'll just try and do it! School has been quite crazy but it has calmed down a little and I'm starting to get used to the workload. So let's get onto the many pictures and the details!

Squishy Rainbow Marble Using the OPI Color Paints (Magenta Muse, Primarily Yellow and Turquoise Aesthetic) & A Mint and Lilac Look On Top

I fell madly in love with the idea of the OPI Color Paints, and once a good review of them came out I was ecstatic! They are definitely amazing (hence why I picked up the rest after I bought the three I used here :P).

I decided to buy the three colours closest to the real primary colours (magenta, yellow and cyan) at first in case I wouldn't have the money to buy them all. They blend together so beautifully as you can see!

For this look I just stippled blobs of each colour (Magenta Muse, Primarily Yellow and Turquoise Aesthetic) in with a small paintbrush, making sure the blobs overlapped.

I'm all about the sheer or partially naked nail look as you likely know, so I loved the sheer and squishy look of these!

They kind of looked like the coolest candies that could ever exist.

I'm also all about challenging myself to recycle manis for the WNAC (Weekly Nail Art Challenge) 2015 so here's what I came up with for the mint and lilac prompt!

I think I've used striping tape once or twice in my nail art life, so I decided to try some out!

These ended up quite girly but I still think they're pretty cool! I used OPI You're Such A Budapest and That's Hula-rious! I think this look as well as lots of dry marbles on Instagram have sparked my love for the technique as you'll see soon on here!

So what do you guys think of these looks? Did you like it better without the pastels on top or with? I prefer them without but I love that I got two totally different looks from the same base!

Thanks so much for taking a look you lovely people! I hope you're all doing well! I'll be back with some more Color Paints looks very soon! Happy Saturday! :)

Sheer Magenta to Blue Gradient Topped White Lattice!

Hey everyone! Today I have some fun lattice nails to share!

My sister, her friend and I are going to Las Vegas tonight! We are going to the BIGBANG concert tomorrow and we're so flipping excited. Today's post will be a brief one (with tons of pictures) because I just have to get myself back into the routine of blogging even if I don't have much time!

Onto the nails!

Sheer Magenta to Blue Gradient Topped White Lattice

I started off with a coat of base coat (Orly Good to Go). I then went in with American Apparel T-shirt and a long striper brush from Winstonia, and finished up with a coat of top coat (Essie Good to Go). I wore this look for a day or two and I loved how simple it looked!

When I decided to spice these up, I went in with Revlon Royal and OPI Magenta Muse on a damp makeup sponge. It was hard to get the opacity the same on every nail (as you can see because I failed to do so).

Another coat of top coat and I was finished!
