Nicole by OPI I'm Stucco On You Swatch & Review!

Hey everyone! Today I have a swatch and quick review of a gorgeous purple textured polish to share!

Anna and I have been doing the 30 Day Yoga Challenge by Yoga with Adriene and it has been so nice! I was up being sick last night but by this evening I was feeling okay enough to do it. I'm glad I didn't fail already on day five :P!

Anyways, onto the nails!

What you see here is one coat of NOPI I'm Stucco On You and no top coat! The formula on all of these Roughles polishes is great, so easy to work with (not too thick like some textured polishes) and very opaque! Also, these pictures were taken on day four which is pretty amazing! Some slight tip wear and no chips!

What do you guys think of the Roughles collection or textured polishes in general? I'd love to know!

Thanks so much for having a look everyone! I'll be back with tons of nail art, hopefully just about once a day! Happy Saturday! :)

Ferns & Flowers Inspired by Wondrously Polished Using the Girly Bits Hoop! There It Is Collection!

Hello my lovelies! Today I have a tropical look using seven of the Girly Bits Hoop! There It Is collection polishes, inspired by a design by Lindsey of Wondrously Polished!

I am still very busy with volunteering and tutoring, and yesterday I found out I have an iron deficiency. That could explain why I'm so lazy and exhausted all of the time! :P Hopefully the super nasty liquid iron I've started taking will really help with my energy levels! Maybe then I'll be able to find the time to blog more often than once a week!

Anyways, onto the nails!

I started off with one super opaque coat of American Apparel Hassid. I really love AA polishes and so many of them are one coaters which is always amazing!

Next, I went in with seven of the ten cremes/crellies of the Hoop! There It Is collection. For the ferns I used Hooperchondriac (medium green) and then It's Hoop To Be Square (pale green) on top. For the flowers I used Hoop! There It Is (coral), Don't Paddle Break A Nail (pink, the one shown in the bottle shot), and Get Indie Flow (blue-toned purple) for the petals and then Thump Your Melons (orange) and These Hips Don't Lie (yellow) for the dots.

As always I did both hands, but this time I forgot to take pictures of my right hand until there was too much tip wear for pictures.

What do you guys think of this design? I like the sheer look of the flowers with the opaque fern fronds behind!

Thanks so much for taking a look everyone! I'll try to start posting more than once a week on here, maybe once the iron kicks in I'll have enough energy to do so! I'll be back with some neon half moon floral nails as well as swatches of half of the Girly Bits HTII collection soon! Happy Wednesday! =)

Orange and Red Negative Space Rose Nail Art!

Hello my lovely people! Today I have a negative space floral design to share!

I have another relatively quick post for you guys tonight! I think these are probably less intimidating to try and read so maybe I'll just start doing less wordy posts! Warning: there are a lot of pictures because I'm madly in love with these nails!

Onto the nails!

I started off with a coat of my usual base coat; Orly Bonder. Rather than going for a milky/sheer look I decided to go for a totally naked look under my roses!

I then went in with OPI Coca Cola Red and Essie Saturday Disco Fever and painted blobs with a medium-sized paintbrush. After doing so on all my nails, I went in with a darker version of each colour on a smaller paintbrush for more detail. I used Deborah Lippmann Jessa for the red flowers and American Apparel Lopez Canyon for the orange ones!

After allowing the flowers some time to dry, I applied a thick and careful coat of top coat and I was done!

I absolutely love how these nails turned out and I really enjoyed wearing them! They are definitely one of my favourite looks I've ever done.

What do you guys think of these nails, negative space manis or floral manis? I'd love to know in the comments!

Thanks so much for having a look everyone! I will most likely be back with some purple triangle nails very soon! I am still waiting for the Hoop! There It Is collection by Girly Bits Cosmetics to get here, but when it does you'll sure be seeing a lot of it on here! Happy Thursday everyone! :)

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!

Thanks so much for taking a look everyone! I'm not sure what I'll be back with but it'll be soon! Happy Monday! :)

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

I hope you guys have had a great start to your weekend! I guess I'll be back with some 'Good Luck Charm' nails before the week is out for Nail Crazy In March! Thanks for stopping by! =)

Rainbow Half Moon Hearts for Nail Crazy In March!

Hello everyone! Today I have yet another half moon heart look to share, but this time they're rainbow-coloured!

I only have two more weeks of school (followed by three weeks of finals) and I'm so freaking excited!! It means my four month holiday from school will be here soon as well as my Swiss sister Anna! She'll be staying with us for three of those four months and it's going to be so amazing!

But enough about me, onto the nails!

For this look I just used the brushes from the bottle! I really love this technique because it's so quick, cute and easy!

Colour-wise I used OPI Red Hot Rio, Toucan Do It If You Try and Need Sunglasses? for the red, orange and yellow, respectively. Next, I went in with American Apparel Neon Green and Essie Strut Your Stuff and DJ Play That Song for the green, blue and purple!

I didn't end up putting the red on this hand but I did on my other one! I would have included a picture but there was a huge cat hair on my nail that I didn't notice until after taking the pictures :P.

These feel so springy/summery and happy to me! They're my way of welcoming spring this year.

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

Thanks so much for taking a look everyone! I hope you're all having a great weekend! I hope to do a bunch of homework tonight so I don't have so much to do tomorrow. I'll try to figure out a blog schedule soon but since school is ending it might go back down to once a week for a little while. Anyways, happy Saturday guys! =)

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!

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.

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!

Here's the super quick tutorial!

Here's the tutorial! The two main base colours are by the lovely @kbshimmer (Will Yule Marry Me? and In Bare Form) and the song is You Never Give Me Your Money by The Beatles! This look is based on the myth that #saintpatrick banished all of the snakes from Ireland by chasing them into the ocean! The two @deborahlippmann polishes are from her Girls collection and they're Hannah (green) and Jessa (red)! #nailsvideos #nailsartvideos #hairandfashionaddict #looknaildecor #fabulouslytrendy #nail #ahlamalnajdi_nailsart #nailsartcentral #nailsartclips #nailsarttut #simplynotlogical

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! =)

Half Moon Heart Nail Art Featuring Tiny Triangle Studs and a Born Pretty Store Review!

Hello everyone! Today I have some half moon heart nail art and a Born Pretty Store stud review to share!

Hey look, I tricked you (and myself) because I thought I'd be back with some blue or green nails! I love blue and green so much and since it feels like it has been long enough since I last posted some, doing these nails really did feel like a trick or surprise to me! Sometimes a palate cleanser like this is nice; a mauve and white combo like this feels so fresh and lady-like. By the way, if you guys ever have a certain kind of nail art or polish you'd like to see on here you should let me know! Sometimes I struggle with ideas for nail art so I'd be happy to have a suggestion to work off of!

Anyways, onto the nails!

For this look I started off with two coats of OPI Just Lanai-ing Around and a coat of top coat. As usual for me lately, I wore this polish plain for a while before I added to it. The next day, I went in with two coats of Black Sheep Lacquer Scatter Heart (which I swatched a while ago here) in a top-of-a-heart-like shape. I then decided to add a contrasting line between the base and Scatter Heart with Contrary Polish The Boulevard (which I still haven't swatched or worn on its own, gasp!).

Because I remembered that I still had one more nail art thing from BPS to review, and because I figured it would go with the gold glitter in Scatter Heart, I went ahead and added these adorable triangle studs (B2 of these) to this look! They feel like they'll really stay put as they come down at the edges, and they were super easy to use! I feel like these are the most "me" nail art things I've ever picked to review from BPS so the shopper/hoarder in me wants to pick more up (specifically all six of the small ones on that page :P).

By the way, the lines and heart-top things here are pretty wonky because I filmed a video tutorial for this look. Unfortunately though, I can't find the video files. I filmed it through Canon EOS Utility 2, does anyone have any experience with that program? The camera did die while I was in between filming and I haven't plugged the whole camera back in to my computer to look for them (just the SD card) so maybe there still is hope!

What do you guys think of these nails or these studs in particular? I think they're my favourite things I've ever reviewed from BPS!

If you guys decide to check out any of their nail art stuff and want to pick some up, be sure to use my code for 10% off; SKBQ10!

Thanks so much for taking a look everyone! I hope you're having a great start to your weekend! Again, I'm not sure what I'll be back with because I just did these nails yesterday so I'm still wearing them, but stay tuned! Happy Friday 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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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! =)
