Tooth Nail Art Featuring KBShimmer Laugh Myself Lily & piCture pOlish LakoDom!

Hello everybody! Today I have some teeth nail art to share!

I think I'll stick a little wisdom tooth removal update here seeing as these are the nails I did for the day of my surgery (and wore for several more days)! It will be two weeks since my surgery tomorrow and by now I can eat basically anything again (I am avoiding seeds and tiny things like that that could become lodged in my healing gums). For several days I was doing jaw stretching exercises and now I can open my mouth as wide as I could before. Except for sore teeth and jaw muscles occasionally (from getting used to eating hard foods again) I'm feeling back to normal!

Anyways, onto the nails!

For the turquoise nails, I applied three easy coats of KBShimmer Laugh Myself Lily. It was a breeze to work with and it is so freaking pretty!

For the teeth nails, I started off with a base of two coats of piCture pOlish LakoDom. By now I've learned that every piCture pOlish has a perfect formula and their brushes are so lovely too!

Next, I went in with some cremes that matched some of the glitters in Laugh Myself Lily; American Apparel Rose Bowl (to me, this is a pink but to others I think it leans more orange and looks coraly), Essie Play Date (purple) and Revlon Dreamer (blue). I never did get a picture, but on my other hand I painted a huge purple tooth on one of the accent (white) nails rather than a bunch of tiny ones.

What do you lovely people think of this look? Lately I've been feeling really proud of myself because I've been incorporating lots of indie polishes into my nail art. Sometimes I start to worry that I'll never be able to use them all, but I'm sure I can if I continue to shy away from the mainstream brands and towards indie brands in my nail art!

Thanks so much for taking a look guys! I'll be back with a gorgeous thermal by Doctor Lacquer as I mentioned a few posts ago! Happy Thursday! =)

Papaya Nail Art Featuring KBShimmer Periwinkle In Time!

Hello everybody! Today I have some papaya nails as well as a gorgeous KBShimmer polish to share!

It is the morning of my second-to-last day of school and I am so freaking excited to be finished as you may know! Now to get studying! :P I think I really need the four-month break we have from school, I've been sleeping as much as I usually do but I've still been so tired lately. The semester just needs to be over! My finals are quite spread out which is nice, but it also means I don't finish until late this month. Are you guys almost done school for the semester and are finals approaching? I'd love to know!

Onto the nails!

Papaya Nail Art Featuring KBShimmer Periwinkle In Time!

I did these nails before I nubbinized my nails as you may notice! I kind of think I cut them too short when I do this every few weeks because I can't wrap my tips without making a mess. They'll be back to this length in a few weeks anyway though! They grow so fast and I'm so lazy about cutting and/or filing them so I let them grow out and then chop them short, as you've probably noticed :P. I try to think of it as a good thing, like, whether you like short nails or long nails I'll always cycle through both!

Papaya Nail Art Featuring KBShimmer Periwinkle In Time!

For my blue/periwinkle nails, I just applied three easy coats of KBShimmer Periwinkle In Time and a coat of top coat (Essie Good to Go). The polish was really easy to work with and I got tons of the larger glitters on basically every nail except my ring finger that you see here! Some of the glitters were even holographic! This is another gorgeous KBShimmer polish with a lovely formula in my books!

Papaya Nail Art Featuring KBShimmer Periwinkle In Time!

As for the papaya nails, I started off with two coats of OPI Don't Bossa Nova Me Around. Weirdly enough, it ended up looking a lot like My Vampire is Buff when paired with the other colours, despite being a pinky putty off-white nude colour (rather than a yellow-toned off-white nude colour). Next, I went in with OPI Where Did Suzi's Man-go? and an average-sized paint brush for the meat of the papaya, followed by American Apparel Hassid and Crescent Heights on a small paintbrush for the seeds and skin, respectively. I allowed it all to dry and added a thick coat of top coat (again, Essie Good to Go) to avoid smudging my design!

What do you guys think of this polish or these papayas? I'd love to know in the comments!

Saint Patrick Nails for Nail Crazy in March!

Yo yo yo my lovely people! Today I have some Saint Patrick nail art to share for Nail Crazy in March!

I'm getting this post up a couple days late because of family stuffs. Enough about that though, let's talk about nails! My lovely boyfriend bought me eight polishes from Harlow & Co last night and I can't freaking wait to get them! Rest assured you'll see some gorgeous KBShimmer, Glam Polish, Polished by KPT and Crows Toes polishes in the near future!

Anyways, onto the nails!

Saint Patrick Nails for Nail Crazy in March

So these nails are based on the myth that Saint Patrick banished all of snakes from Ireland by chasing them into the ocean with his staff. Really though, snakes have never lived in Ireland :P.

Rather than explain how I did these, I'll just embed my Instagram video tutorial down below! As for the polishes, I used American Apparel Mount Royal topped with KBShimmer Will Yule Marry Me? for the ocean, KBShimmer In Bare Form for the sand, Deborah Lippmann Hannah (green) and Jessa (red) for the snakes and Milani 3D Holographic Nail Lacquer 3D for the staff.

Saint Patrick Nails for Nail Crazy in March

I'm officially madly in love with KBShimmer polishes! Both of the ones I used here were so easy to work with and In Bare Form is so holographic and basically my perfect nude!

I really don't think the gold jives well with the rest of these colours and in general these didn't turn out as cool as I thought they would. They're almost a nail fail in my mind, but I'm still happy that I came up with a unique idea for this challenge. What do you guys think of these nails or these KBShimmers? I'd love to know!

Saint Patrick Nails for Nail Crazy in March

Here's the super quick tutorial!


Be sure to check out all the lovely ladies' blog posts down below!



Thanks so much for taking a look guys!! I'm thinking of posting more often on here (like three days a week) since I only have one more midterm (my eighth of the semester :P) to write so I might have some more free time. We'll see! I'm not sure what I'll be back with but it'll be soon! Happy Saturday guys! =)

KB Shimmer Vicious Circles Swatch & Review!

Hey everyone! Today I have a gorgeous KBShimmer polish to share!

I'm currently marathoning Dexter (once again) with my family and I'm really loving it! I probably should be doing homework instead but it's a bit of a less busy week than usual and I've been feeling stressed lately, so whatever :P. Tonight's post is a bit of a quick one because it's getting late here in my part of Canada.

Anyways, onto the nails!

KBShimmer Vicious Circles Swatch & Review!

I started off with two coats of ACI Yellow Stopper Top Coat from Sally's as a peel off base coat. After that had dried, I went in with two coats of Vicious Circles and a coat of top coat. I probably should have done two because I noticed that a few of the glitters had fallen off by the time I took pictures of these!

KBShimmer Vicious Circles Swatch & Review!

The formula was perfect, the dry-time was great and for a jelly it was quite opaque! It was a dream to work with and dang is it pretty. Also, it's stuffed full of gorgeous holographic glitters and it's so freaking squishy!

KBShimmer Vicious Circles Swatch & Review!

I know I won't be using Yellow Stopper as a base coat ever again because I ended up with a huge chip just a day after applying this polish. I'll report back on wear-time of KBShimmer polishes the next time I wear one with a good base coat!

KBShimmer Vicious Circles Swatch & Review!

What do you guys think of this polish or KBShimmer polishes in general? I think I'll probably fall in love with the brand based on how gorgeous they are and the formula on this baby!

KBShimmer Vicious Circles Swatch & Review!

Thanks so much for taking a look everyone! I think I'll be back with another green or blue because I'm in lurvvve (as you may already know). Happy Monday y'all! =)
