Squishy Rainbow Marble Using the OPI Color Paints & A Mint and Lilac Look On Top!

Hey everyone! Today I have some super fun rainbow marble nails as well as a mint and lilac look I did on top to share!

Rather than talk a lot about my plan to start posting on here once a day, I'll just try and do it! School has been quite crazy but it has calmed down a little and I'm starting to get used to the workload. So let's get onto the many pictures and the details!

I fell madly in love with the idea of the OPI Color Paints, and once a good review of them came out I was ecstatic! They are definitely amazing (hence why I picked up the rest after I bought the three I used here :P).

I decided to buy the three colours closest to the real primary colours (magenta, yellow and cyan) at first in case I wouldn't have the money to buy them all. They blend together so beautifully as you can see!

For this look I just stippled blobs of each colour (Magenta Muse, Primarily Yellow and Turquoise Aesthetic) in with a small paintbrush, making sure the blobs overlapped.

I'm all about the sheer or partially naked nail look as you likely know, so I loved the sheer and squishy look of these!

They kind of looked like the coolest candies that could ever exist.

I'm also all about challenging myself to recycle manis for the WNAC (Weekly Nail Art Challenge) 2015 so here's what I came up with for the mint and lilac prompt!

I think I've used striping tape once or twice in my nail art life, so I decided to try some out!

These ended up quite girly but I still think they're pretty cool! I used OPI You're Such A Budapest and That's Hula-rious! I think this look as well as lots of dry marbles on Instagram have sparked my love for the technique as you'll see soon on here!

So what do you guys think of these looks? Did you like it better without the pastels on top or with? I prefer them without but I love that I got two totally different looks from the same base!

Thanks so much for taking a look you lovely people! I hope you're all doing well! I'll be back with some more Color Paints looks very soon! Happy Saturday! :)

Deborah Lippmann Marnie & Snake Nail Art with the Deborah Lippmann Girls Collection!

Yo yo yo! Today I have some nail art to share featuring the Deborah Lippmann Girls Collection!

Tonight's post will be a quick one because I still have homework to do and it's just about bed time :P. I'm still feeling very overwhelmed with school so I need to do as much homework as possible to de-stress.

Deborah Lippmann Marnie

Here is a quick swatch of Deborah Lippmann Marnie, a light pink crelly which is pinker (i.e. a darker pink) than I was able to capture on any camera. It was a bit streaky and a three-coater but I'm so in love with the brush and I've wanted to try a Deborah Lippmann for so long that I have no complaints!

Now for the nail art! I used the other three polishes from the Girls collection for these snake nails; Jessa (the dark red crelly), Hannah (the dusty green creme) and Shoshanna (the light purple creme with shimmer). All dried fast and were super easy to work with!

For the snake-skin-looking nails I used a technique from a tutorial by the lovely Jaunty Juli! Check out her awesome and quick tutorial if you want to know how I did these!

Sorry about how brief this post was, I need to get my butt in gear with my term paper and homework before it's the last week of school! :P What do you guys think of these nails? I'd love to know! Happy Monday!

Dollish Polish Toad-ally Awesome and Striping Tape!

Hi everyone! Today I have some super simple mix and match nail art to share!

I've seen this alternating glitter polish and striping tape over a creme polish mani all over the internet lately! I really like it, so I decided to try it myself!

The blue seen here is Essie Mesmerize, the striping tape is just off of eBay or Amazon, the black creme is Orly Liquid Vinyl (as always), and the super cute glitter topper is Dollish Polish Toad-ally Awesome!

It's been a while since I posted any kind of nail art on here (the last time was Halloween) so let's get on to the pictures! :)
