Springy Floral Frames Featuring Hex Nail Jewelry Charms!

Hello everyone! Today I have some floral frame nails to share!

I've been applying for jobs lately but I've yet to hear back from anyone. My boyfriend is still away for another month so I wish I could get a job to make the time go by quicker! On the plus side, I have been able to relax and do a lot of things that I like, but that does make the time seem to go by slower.

Anyways, onto the nails!

I started off with two coats of OPI My Dogsled is a Hybrid, OPI Good Grief! or American Apparel French Lilac on most of my nails. I then went in with each of those colours on a small paint brush for the accent nails.

Immediately after top coating the floral frame nails, I picked up the Hex Nail Jewelry charms with some tweezers and placed them while the top coat was still wet. After that dried, I top coated and cleaned up all my nails to complete the look.

What do you guys think of this look? I think they came out much too girly for my tastes but I love the charms that I used!

Thanks so much for having a look everyone! I'll be back with an Essie Silk Watercolor collection look soon! Happy Wednesday! =)

Lilac Nails Inspired by MrCandiipants Featuring piCture pOlish Swagger & Hex Nail Jewelry!

Hello hello my lovelies! Today I have my first proper blog post in a long time to share, inspired by a MrCandiipants design!

I am still so happy to be done with school and finals, it's great to not have to worry about! Anyways, onto the nails!

I started with two coats of piCture pOlish Swagger. The formula was amazing and it was almost opaque at one coat! For the leaves I used OPI Green-wich Village and that mixed with some Revlon Spanish Moss, and for the flowers I used OPI Hello Hawaii Ya?, Essie Play Date and Essie Warm & Toasty Turtleneck.

I left one nail lilac-less on each hand to add some Hex Nail Jewelry charms. I just apply them with a bit of top coat, double top coat them and they stay right on (I wore this look for six days with no problems)!

So what do you guys think of this look? I don't love it because I didn't execute it very well. I'd like to try a look more like the MrCandiipants one, basically with better leaves/greenery!

Thanks so much for taking a look guys! I just took this look off so I have no idea what I'll be back with! 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!

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!

What do you guys think of this look? I feel like these were hard to photograph because of the glare but I really liked them!

Thanks so much for having a look everyone! I'll be back with some glitter nails, happy Friday! =)

Glam Polish Coven & Hex Nail Jewelry Charms for Nail Crazy in March!

 Hey everyone! Today I have some good luck charm nails for the last week of Nail Crazy In March to share!

I am currently in my last week of school until September, and I am very excited to be done for a while! Soon I'll have tons of time to blog and paint my nails, so expect more posts in the next little while!

Anyways, onto the nails!

Firstly, I should explain my thought process behind these nails. As a student, when I think of good luck I think of exams. So I decided to put together a super quick but fancy look that I would wear to an exam for good luck!

For any simple look, I love to throw in some Hex Nail Jewelry for extra interest and glamour! And being charms, I feel like they fit the prompt quite well!

For the red nails I applied just one coat Glam Polish Coven and a coat of top coat (Sally Hansen Insta-Dri this time). This polish dried quite textured so it would have needed another coat of top coat to be close to smooth. I had a huge bubble problem with Insta-Dri top coat once again, as you can very clearly see on my charmed nails.

Coven was so lovely to work with! It is stuffed full of holographic pigment and glitter, check out my Instagram if you'd like to see a video of it in the Sun! I'd like to wear it with two coats next time to see if the colour gets more deep or rich, because I suspect it might! I hardly had to cleanup these nails because the formula and brush were so lovely!

What do you guys think of this polish or Hex Nail Jewelry charms? Be sure to enter my giveaway to win three charms of your choice from them if you haven't already, it ends in six days!

Dark Green Glittery Nails Featuring Hex Nail Jewelry Charms and Star Candy Polish Orion!

Hey everybody! Today I have some nails featuring some Hex Nail Jewelry and some Star Candy Polish to share!

I'm currently in my busiest week of the semester, which in a way I'm happy about because I'm getting it over with fairly early. I have lab write-ups, pre-labs, midterms and lots of tutoring to do! I'm still struggling with having the motivation to work on those things (apart from tutoring) but I'm trying to make myself work on it because I really have to. Do you guys have a lot of stuff to do this week too? Anyway, onto the nails!

I started off with two easy coats of Revlon Rain Forest, a gorgeous dark green polish with gold shimmer throughout. Then, on all of my nails except the ones I planned to put charms on, I applied one coat of Star Candy Polish Orion (I posted about it previously, here). I adhered the charms to my nails with a glob of top coat, and I applied one coat of top coat to most of my nails and two to the ones with charms (as always, Essie Good to Go).

These nails turned out a little more fancy and glamorous than I'm used to, but I found them so pretty that I didn't mind.

The studs stayed on for the duration I wore these nails for (at least two days, I'm not sure how long exactly) and weren't threatening to fall off. I really love Hex Nail Jewelry for that, their charms stay on very well!

How cool is this Sun charm? I know my right hand can't pose without looking ridiculous, I'm sorry!

What do you guys think of these nails or these charms? I'd love to know! I'll be back with some pastel gradient nails in a week that you would have seen if you follow me on Instagram! Happy Monday! :)

Nude Nails with Black Sheep Lacquer Lateralus & Hex Nail Jewelry!

Hey everyone! Today I have a cute neutral mani to share!

I've been busy with assignments and midterms lately and I'm still busy with them so I'll keep this post pretty short! I do know that I have some cool fern nail art to share with you guys next! Onto the nails!

For these nails I started off with one to two coats of American Apparel California Trooper (one to two because a few nails were a little patchy from a sloppily-applied first coat and needed a second)!

I then applied one easy coat of Black Sheep Lacquer Lateralus, a gorgeous holographic top coat that is much more holo-y than I could capture! Check my Instagram for more accurate pictures of the holo effect!

Next, I applied a dab of top coat on the centre of two nails and stuck a Hex Nail Jewelry charm on each!

Finally, I applied a coat of top coat to all of my nails to seal it all in!

What do you guys think of this simple mani? I'd love to know!

Here is my right hand! I love love LOVE this owl charm so much!

Thanks so much for reading everyone, hopefully I'll have time to be more thorough and talkative in my next post! Happy Tuesday! :)

Contrary Polish Westport and Hex Nail Jewelry!

Hey everyone! Today I have a swatch of Contrary Polish Westport and some Hex Nail Jewelry charms to share!

I was so pressed for time and so busy studying (read: cramming like a mad women) this week, that I'm posting these right before I take them off and redo my nails! I also only did one thick coat of Westport (which isn't quite enough for an opaque look as you can see) but it was late and I was tired :P. I still love the look of these and the whole mani only ended up taking me twenty minutes, which is a real bonus during midterm weeks!

Almost every week of the semester starting about a month ago or more are midterm weeks (every week but two), so I'll try to work on not having midterm cuticles in the future! Let's call them that, shall we? Sorry about my midterm cuticles in these pictures guys!

Both Westport and the Hex Nail Jewelry charms were perfect to apply (I love the Contrary Polish brushes!), but the crab charm was a little too curved for the nail I put it on. I'm sure I could have positioned it better or maybe even bent it backwards to make it a bit more straight, but instead I just double top coated it (and the other charm-covered nails)! The plain nails have just one coat of top coat on top!

I fell madly in love with Westport when I saw it on my nails, it's an olive green crelly with gold and orange shimmer! I will definitely be wearing this again so stay tuned for proper two coat swatches!

Anyways, onto the pictures!

What do you guys think of Westport, it's gorgeous right?! And I can't wait to try my Hex Nail Jewelry charms over different polishes and incorporate them into nail art! I have two others, an ice cream cone and an owl!

Thanks so much for reading guys! I'll have some more labour-intensive nail art posted in two days for those of you who prefer nail art to swatches! Happy Friday! :)
