Blue Sheer Marble with Peach Curved Lines Featuring Some OPI Color Paints!

Hey everybody! Today I have some blue marble nails with peach accents to share!

So I survived another eight and a half hours of classes and labs with no breaks today! I'm honestly worried I won't survive one of these crazy Mondays this year. My immunology midterm went really well and now I'm just so glad to be home and in bed. We raced over to the polling station after school and I made it in time to vote! So I guess today was pretty successful but after not sleeping well last night and being out for so long today I don't feel so great. Tomorrow I'm sure I will though!

Onto the nails!

I started off like I did for my rainbow marble nails, stippling on blobs of colour and allowing them to overlap. I used OPI Turquoise Aesthetic, Indigo Motif and Revlon Royal.

Next, I went in with OPI Where Did Suzi's Man-Go? and a striper brush.

What do you guys think of these nails? I quite liked them and I love the colour combination!

Thanks so much for reading everyone! I'll be back with a stained glass look using the OPI Color Paints once again!  Happy Monday! :)

OPI Color Paints Rainbow Horizontal Gradient!

Hey everyone! Today I have a super easy rainbow horizontal gradient using the OPI Color Paints to share!

I have an immunology midterm tomorrow so today will probably be spent curled up in my bed studying and cuddling my cat Paul. He always supports me when I'm studying, to the point where the day after I'm done studying he'll still be in my room all day! He's such a cutie.

Onto the nails!

Because I had eight colours, I needed to have three nails with two colours and two with three colours. I decided to go with the traditional accent nails; the thumb and ring finger.

I went in with the first colour for most of the nails and the first and last colour for the accent nails. After allowing that to dry, I went in with the last and middle colours, creating the overlap.

Though these nails did turn out a bit cool, I'd prefer them if I had have done a proper gradient with a sponge.

So, what do you guys think? If you're not yet convinced that the Color Paints are amazing I have more looks featuring them coming at you!

Thanks so much for having a look everyone! I'll be back with a few different marbled looks! Happy Sunday! =)

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! :)

Sheer Magenta to Blue Gradient Topped White Lattice!

Hey everyone! Today I have some fun lattice nails to share!

My sister, her friend and I are going to Las Vegas tonight! We are going to the BIGBANG concert tomorrow and we're so flipping excited. Today's post will be a brief one (with tons of pictures) because I just have to get myself back into the routine of blogging even if I don't have much time!

Onto the nails!

I started off with a coat of base coat (Orly Good to Go). I then went in with American Apparel T-shirt and a long striper brush from Winstonia, and finished up with a coat of top coat (Essie Good to Go). I wore this look for a day or two and I loved how simple it looked!

When I decided to spice these up, I went in with Revlon Royal and OPI Magenta Muse on a damp makeup sponge. It was hard to get the opacity the same on every nail (as you can see because I failed to do so).

Another coat of top coat and I was finished!

What do you guys think of this look? I love it a lot!!

Thanks so much for having a look everyone! I'll be back with some more looks using the OPI Color Paints! Happy Thursday! =)

OPI Red and Yellow Negative Space Colour Blocks!

Yo yo yo my lovely readers! Today I have some matte negative space colour blocks to share!

I have pretty crazy Mondays this year where I have eight and a half consecutive hours of lectures and labs. So yesterday I was basically recovering from the first one! We ended early but it was still pretty exhausting. I only go to school three days a week though which is pretty sweet (and is also why my Mondays are so long). Did you guys just recently start back at university too?

This is a pretty quick post but let's get into it!

I started off with a coat of my normal base coat (Orly Bonder). After that had dried, I went in with a medium-sized paintbrush and OPI Good Grief (yellow) and Coca-Cola Red (red).

I added a coat of normal top coat and then finished with a coat of matte top coat (the NYC one).

What do you guys think of these nails? I'd love to know!

Thanks so much for having a look everyone! I'll be back with lots of looks using the OPI Color Paints very soon! Happy Wednesday! =)

Born Pretty Store Stamping Plate Review Featuring Sexy Black Lace!

Hello everyone! Today I have some fancy black lace nails and a Born Pretty Store review to share!

So I'm back to school now and finally back to blogging! We've all been pretty sad since Anna (our Swiss sister) left so it's been hard to be motivated to do anything. I'm trying to get some motivation because I'll definitely need it for school!

Onto the nails!

I started out stamping one of the designs from the plate BP02 with American Apparel Hassid. I couldn't always get the whole image to transfer, but I was having trouble with a stamper I'm not used to so that was probably why.

Next, I went in with a very sheer black polish that I mixed up for the look. You can hardly tell so before I use it next time I'll add more black!

I then went in with Hassid on a small paintbrush and added the curved blobs on the sides of a few of my nails. A coat of top coat (Essie Good to Go) and I was done!

I think this plate worked very well. I am a very inexperienced stamper and it still turned out pretty awesome-looking! I love the flowery lace designs that come on the plate and I think I'll be using it again!

What do you guys think of this look or the stamp design specifically? I love both!

If you decide to pick anything up from Born Pretty Store be sure to use my coupon for 10% off; SKBQ10!

Thanks so much for having a look everyone! I'll be back with some red and yellow colour blocking very soon! Happy Friday! =)

Another MrCandiipants Spring Floral Featuring Renaissance Cosmetics Tiny Petals Everywhere!

Hey everyone! Today I have a MrCandiipants floral design and a Renaissance Cosmetics polish to share!

Some way or another, almost every mani I do goes up on my Instagram way before it makes it here. This look is a rare exception because I didn't do it for a WNAC prompt and didn't just post it for fun!

Onto the nails!

To start, I applied two coats of Cirque Carpe Diem on most of my nails. On my other nails I applied just two easy coats of Renaissance Cosmetics Tiny Petals Everywhere! Funnily enough I needed three coats on my dominant hand but only two on my non-dominant hand (almost certainly because my non-dominant hand isn't so great at painting my dominant hand).

As I do lately, I decided to do some nail art to match the glitters in this indie polish! I did the famous spring floral design by MrCandiipants using American Apparel African Violet (purple), Girly Bits Cosmetics I've Got High Hoops (blue), American Apparel Rose Bowl (pink/coral) and American Apparel 7th and Alameda (grey).

Tiny Petals Everywhere had a great formula and was so easy to work with! I'm finding all Renaissance Cosmetics polishes to be absolutely amazing!

What do you guys think of this look or this adorable indie polish? I'm loving both! Also, I'm bringing back the pictures of my dominant hand because it's always fun to see how it turns out compared to the other one!

Thanks so much for taking a look everyone! I'll be back with some dare-I-say sexy black lace nails! Happy Friday everybody! =)
