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! :)

Five Roundups From Five Months: Red to Green

Hello hello everyone! Today I'm bringing you the first of five roundup posts from my five month absence!

Being a fourth year biochem student makes it hard to do everything else you'd like to do. I've missed blogging so much; taking proper nail pictures, filming and editing tutorials, writing a bit about my life and interacting with you guys! I struggle with motivation in basically every aspect of my life but I have a little more than usual lately and I want to translate that into blogging!

So without further ado, let's get to the nails!

American Apparel Hassid & OPI Lost On Lombard (a recreation of @aliciatnails' design)

Doctor Lacquer Adrenaline (two coats)

Essie Chillato (three coats)

ILNP Timeless Vow (two coats)

piCture pOlish Enchanting (two coats)

I hope you guys are doing well and I'll see you soon for more looks I wore during my absence! Happy Monday!

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! =)

Canadian Flags for Canada Day Featuring piCture pOlish, Cirque Colors and Black Sheep Lacquer!

Hello everyone! Today I have some Canada Day nails to share!

We are running out the door to join in on the Canada Day festivities, so this post will be a quick one word-wise! Happy Canada Day everyone!

For the middle finger nails, I started off with two easy coats of the best white I've ever used; Cirque Colors Carpe Diem. Next, I went in with piCture pOlish O'Hara on a small detail brush for the maple leaf.

On my index and ring finger nails, I applied two coats of O'Hara. The formula, brush and everything else about this polish was perfect!

Finally, for the pinkies and thumbs I applied three coats of Essie Waltz followed by a coat of Black Sheep Lacquer Grab Your Toque!

A bit of dry time and a coat of Essie Good To Go top coat and I was done!

What do you guys think of this look? Are those of you that are Canadians wearing some festive nails today? I'd love to know!

Thanks so much for reading everyone! I'll be back with some swatches and some nail art very soon! Happy Wednesday! :)

Holographic Strawberries Featuring Doctor Lacquer Carotene Holo!

Hey everyone! Today I have some holographic strawberry nails to share!

I can't believe it will be July 1st tomorrow (Canada Day woot woot)! I had hoped to get more caught up on le blog by now, but what can you do? I think I only have four looks to get up after this one so it's not too bad! Hopefully I'll get back into posting once a day so I can finally catch up!

Onto tons of pictures!

For this look, I started with a base of two coats of Doctor Lacquer Carotene Holo. The formula and brush and all that was lovely! It's a bit of a mustardy yellow and I love that about it!

My two favourite things about Doctor Lacquer are the science-related names and the medium sized (10.5mL) bottles! Minis are too small and full sizes are too big am I right? I feel an obsession coming on and I already picked up twelve other polishes when I ordered this :P.

Next, I went in with piCture pOlish O'Hara on a medium sized paintbrush for the fruit part of the strawberries. I'm madly in love with this polish and you'll be seeing a full nail swatch tomorrow in my Canada Day mani!

Finally, I went in with B Squared Lacquer Change The Game on a small paintbrush for the leaf part. Some dry time and a coat of top coat (Essie Good To Go as per usual) and I was done!

I loved wearing these nails and I wish I had have taken a picture of my other hand! It had exactly the same design but it can't pose well and I forgot to take pictures of it.

What do you guys think of these nails or this Doctor Lacquer polish? I'd love to know!

Thanks so much for taking a look everyone! I'll be back with my Canada Day Nails followed by a thermal polish from Doctor Lacquer! Happy Tuesday! =)

Cat Emoji Nails Featuring piCture pOlish Forget Me Not!

Hey everyone! Today I have a quick post on some fun cat emoji nails to share!

My computer has completely died and been sent in for repairs since I last posted on here :P. In good news, the warranty would have expired today but it died yesterday so we sent it in just in time! I'm now commandeering one of my boyfriend's three laptops (he's into computers) and I managed to get these pictures from a backup on my external hard drive! So all in all, it's basically all good news as my computer was laggy and quite hot most of the time leading up to it completely dying.

Anyways, onto the nails!

I started off with two coats of the gorgeous piCture pOlish Forget Me Not and a coat of top coat.

The formula, the brush, the dry time... everything about this polish is perfection. And oh my goodness, it's absolutely drop dead gorgeous. Also, you could probably get away with one coat with this baby.

This is the second polish I've tried from this brand and I'm already head over heels in love!

See those flakies? Well guess what, they're holographic flakies!!

And here are the kitties! I'll embed my Instagram tutorial for this look down below in case you guys are interested!

As for the polishes, I used American Apparel T-shirt (white), Revlon Timeless (light grey), American Apparel 7th and Alameda (medium/dark grey), American Apparel Hassid (black), American Apparel Rose Bowl (pink), OPI Red Hot Rio (red) and Julep Claire (blue).

Here is the little guy I did with my non-dominant (left) hand. I feel like he came out kind of funny but also quite good considering it was with my bad hand!

What do you guys think of these nails or this gorgeous piCture pOlish polish? I'd love to hear in the comments!

I decided to do some cat emojis on top of the gorgeous @picturepolish Forget Me Not! 💅 The song is The Hardest Button To Button by The White Stripes! 😄 #nailartvideo #nailarttutorial #nailvideo #nailsvideos #nailsartvideos #hairandfashionaddict #looknaildecor #fabulouslytrendy #nail #ahlamalnajdi_nailsart #nailsartcentral #nailsartclips #nailsarttut #simplynotlogical
