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.

Eight Polish Haul Featuring Hard Candy's Sugar Rush!

I've decided I'm going to start using my sister's awesome camera to take pictures of my nails and other people's nails that I do! The quality must be better than my Samsung S3's camera and I hope you can all see the difference in these pictures! My polishing job isn't perfect, but these are pre-cleanup and I thought they looked pretty good!

I got five polishes from my boyfriend's mom last night (left) and three from my boyfriend (right)... they're so generous and awesome! :)

From left to right: China Glaze's Platinum Pieces, Nicole by OPI's Fanatical Fuchsia, Nicole by OPI's Stolen Kisses, Nicole by OPI's Silver Texture, and China Glaze's Oxidized Aqua :).

From left to right: Revlon's Whimsical, Hard Candy's Sugar Rush, and Essie's Good to Go Topcoat! Now onto the nails :).

Polishes used: Nicole by OPI's Stolen Kisses, Nicole by OPI's Fanatical Fuchsia, and Hard Candy's Sugar Rush! :)

EDIT: Here's some shots I took with my new macro lens for my phone!

Flakie Mani on a Family Friend!

I painted my mom's best friend's nails last night and I thought I'd share! This is China Glaze's For Audrey, China Glaze's Secret Periwinkle, and Essie's Shine Of The Times :)!

Julep Grape Mani =)

My boyfriend started making grapes the other day on a plastic bag with my polishes so I decided to do some grapes today! All of the polishes I used are pictured below and you can see their names in one of the pictures!

First Attempt at a Jelly Sandwich :)

This is just one coat of China Glaze's Ride The Waves, one coat of Sally Hansen's In The Spotlight, and then another coat of Ride The Waves (and base and top coat)! I think this almost looks like gel polish because it's so smooth, shiny, and jelly-like :).

Water Marble and Heart Rhinestones on my Mom!

The nude is Sand Tropez, and the other colours I used in the water marble were: OPI's Chocolate Mousse, Orly's Mind's Eye, OPI's You Don't Know Jacques, and Essie's No More Film!

Built Two Nail Polish Racks Today!

My wonderful boyfriend helped me make these super cute square nail polish racks! They're right in the middle of our turning staircase so you can see them from the kitchen and family room :). I got spray paint on my nails and chipped one a little so I'll probably be posting another mani soon!

Multicoloured Stud Mani!

I got the little bag of studs I ordered so I decided to try them out :). Expect a lot more posts over the next two weeks because I'm in between college semesters and I have time to redo my nails for any reason! =)

From thumb to pinky these are: OPI's Fiercely Fiona, Color Club's Edie, Julep's Claire, Julep's Eden, and Julep's Adriana!
