Red Nails with Rhinestones and Random Shapes!

These are just some plain red nails I kept adding to because I thought they were too boring! The shimmery darker purple is NOPI Fanatical Fuchsia, the lighter purple is Essie Play Date, the yellow is the awesomely-formulated Color Club Almost Famous, the darker blue is China Glaze Ride The Waves, the lighter blue is Sally Hansen Pacific Blue, and last but not least, the red is Sally Hansen Madame X!

On my left hand I painted the shapes with a small striper brush, and on my right hand I just used the brushes from the bottles and a dotting tool! The heart rhinestones are from a tiny set off of Amazon!









As always, thanks for reading! :)

Nyx Girls Mermaid Green with a Holographic Tip!

This is just a quick and simple mani because I'm waiting for five polishes that should come in the mail any day now! I just know I'll have to take these off and try out a new polish! I absolutely LOVE the base colour I'm wearing here, it's Nyx Girls Mermaid Green and it's the most gorgeous teal ever! This is just two coats with my current top coat, Essie's Good To Go :). The holographic top coat I'm wearing here is NOPI Make a Comet-ment, and I did the black stripes with Orly Liquid Leather!

I finally perfected putting curved text on my pictures from Kayla Shevonne's tutorial here, so these more professional-looking photos are here to stay! I'm also going to make sure to mention how many coats of each I'm wearing in future posts, and I'll put up a nail care post outlining the products I use and a review of them (including base coats and top coats) as soon as I can! Thanks so much for reading!

Saran Wrap Marble Nails!

I'm not sure if I like these nails, and that's why I'm not waiting until tomorrow when I have the camera I always use to take these pictures! Sorry if these pictures are a lot worse quality than usual!

My boyfriend taught me how to make chai tea mostly from scratch the way he does, so I took the pictures of my nails with my tea!

Saran Wrap Marble Nails

For these nails I used: China Glaze Secret Periwinkle, China Glaze For Audrey, OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, and saran wrap of course!

Ellipse Rhinestones over Revlon Dreamer!

Is it just me, or do these totally remind anyone else of alligator backs? This is just two coats of Revlon Dreamer with some multicolour ellipse rhinestones I got off of eBay :).

Simple Blue and Yellow Taping Mani!

This is just one coat of Color Club Almost Famous (an almost one-coater, it could be if you did a thick coat) and then one coat of Sally Hansen Pacific Blue over my taped-off nails! :)





I have a job interview coming up (YAY!), so my next mani will be a lot less colourful than my usual manis! Thanks for reading! :)

Chevron Nails Take Two!

I think this is one of my favourite manis to date! :) I started with Essie's Bikini So Teeny thinking I'd be stamping over it, then completely changed my mind as you can see!

Green Colour Changing Polish with Lace!

This is just three coats of Ardene's Mood Swing Polish's Hyper/Sensitive with some lace ribbon on top! :) Only two pictures of this one because both my computer and the camera I've been using lately are acting up :(. This polish changes with heat and therefore creates a subtle gradient on the tips of my slightly long nails!

Red Gradient Dot Mani =)

I did these last night for a happy, quick and fun mani :). This is just one coat of American Apparel's Poppy with the dots on top, I really do love their polishes!

Galaxy Nails Take Two? :)

I know I've done galaxy nails more than twice, but I think this is only my second galaxy manicure post on this blog! I was gonna go in and add cool triangles with other pastel colours but I didn't end up having time. The base is Essie's Devil's Advocate which is SUCH an awesome colour! It's a very dark purple jelly that looks only looks purple in the sun (and black everywhere else)! :)




From left to right: Essie Devil's Advocate, OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, American Apparel Coney Island, Color Club Take Me To Your Chateau, and a homemade holographic topcoat made of a clear coat and a few drops of a silver holographic polish :)





I'm really trying to make my blog nicer and nicer lately and any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! :) Thanks for reading!

Essie Dry Brush Mani :)

This is just Essie's Tart Deco and Essie's Mesmerized! I dried Mesmerized's brush and brushed it randomly all over my middle and ring fingers. I've been painting my nails at my boyfriend's houses lately so I've been leaving my nails and not cleaning them up with acetone and a brush! :P

Revlon's Whimsical Over Gradient Nails :)

This is just a quick mani I did the other night! I used OPI's My Boyfriend Scales Walls as a base for the gradient, Sally Hansen's Barracuda and Sally Hansen's Shell We Dance? for the gradient, and Revlon's Whimsical to top it all off! :)




I think I'll be removing this soon because my nails are finally long enough to shape into ovals! :) I don't like the shape they're in in these pictures :P.
