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!

Naked Green & Blue Tweed Using the OPI Color Paints!

Hey guys! Today I have some tweed nails over my naked nails to share!

School has been a little busy again lately, but I'm going to try and get back to posting once a day! I'm really excited for Halloween because I'm going to be Colombia from Rocky Horror Picture Show! I think by then I'll be pretty much over my cold which will be very lovely!

Today's post will be pretty brief, so let's get onto it!

After a coat of base coat (Orly Bonder) I went in with three of the OPI Color Paints and a thin striper brush!

I used Landscape Artist, Turquoise Aesthetic and Indigo Motif!

It appears I don't have much to say about these except for the fact that I loved them! What do you think? I'd love to know!

Thanks so much for reading guys! I'll be back with some simple blue nails and then some Halloween nails! Happy Wednesday guys! :)

Sally Hansen Cheery On Top Over Bare Nails!

Hey everyone! Today I have some naked glitter nails to share!

So I've been feeling a cold coming on for a while and after feeling better and deciding I wasn't actually going to get sick, it hit me like a ton of bricks. I think I will basically just go to sleep when I get home (at seven at the latest) and definitely go straight into bed! I hardly slept last night, so that in itself makes me excited to go through my day and just get it over with :P.

Onto the nails!

What you see here is simply one coat of Sally Hansen Cheery On Top between a coat of base coat and top coat!

It has quite good coverage and was super easy to work with!

What do you guys think of this polish or this look? I'm all about looks where bare nail shows so I'm kind of into this! It's still a bit girly for my liking.

Thanks so much for having a look everyone! I'll be back with some tweed nails! Happy Monday!

Dark Mix & Match Featuring China Glaze Choo-Choo Choose You!

Hey guys! Today I have some mix and match nails to share!

So yesterday we actually went through a haunted house and then a maze and it was so fun! I wasn't actually too scared and definitely wasn't the most scared in our group which was cool!

Onto the nails!

For this look, I used Sally Hansen Slick Black, L'oreal Rose To The Occasion, American Apparel Hassid and China Glaze Choo-Choo Choose You! I really didn't like these much and they are very worn and not cleaned up well, but I post every look I wear so whatever!

Thanks so much for taking a look everyone! I'll be back tomorrow with some Sally Hansen glitter nails! Happy Saturday! :)

Navy & Purple Dry Marble with Some Hex Nail Jewelry!

Hey everyone! Today I have some dark dry marble nails to share!

Last night we went to a horror movie, and tonight we're going to a haunted house and then another horror movie! I swear I'll have a heart attack before the weekend is over!

Anyways, onto the nails!

To start, I applied one coat of American Apparel Mount Royal. On one nail at a time, I applied a second coat of Mount Royal followed by a few blobs of Sonia Kashuk Jewel Orchid right from the brush from the bottle. With a striping brush, I swirled the two colours around until it looked cool!

With some top coat, I decided to add some Hex Nail Jewelry charms because I love these things! They are reusable and I probably have close to 50 by now!

What do you guys think of this look? I feel like these were hard to photograph because of the glare but I really liked them!

Thanks so much for having a look everyone! I'll be back with some glitter nails, happy Friday! =)

Iridescent Hoop Tape Nails Featuring Some China Glaze The Giver Polishes!

Hey everybody! Today I have some cool iridescent hoop tape nails to share!

I woke up today with the cold I've felt coming on for a while now. At least I have today off to relax in bed with Paul and do some school work!

Onto the nails!

I started off with two coats of Intelligence, Integrity & Courage (grey) on some nails and History of the World (blue-toned purple) on the others. 

After that had dried, I cut up some hoop tape and placed strips and pieces on two nails per hand. It was difficult to get them to lay flat and some edges came up while I wore these, despite using two layers of top coat.

I then realized another new polish I got on sale would go with this, so I painted a coat of OPI Visions of Georgia Green on top of one nail per hand.

What do you lovely people think of this look? I fancy a salon-style mani every once and a while so I quite liked these even though they were quite girly!

Thanks so much for reading everyone! I got my looks in the wrong order so now you'll be seeing the vampy dry marble tomorrow! Happy Wednesday! =)

Fall Stained Glass Using the OPI Color Paints!

Hey everyone! Today I have some jewel-toned stained glass nails to share!

I am almost falling asleep as I write this with my kitty Paul laying with my arm around him and his head on my chest. He's the nicest kitty we've ever had and he especially loves me which makes me feel so special! He's drifting in and out of sleep and soon I will be too. It's going to be an early night!

Onto the nails!

I started off with a black lattice using American Apparel Hassid and a striper brush. I'm really into this design lately and I think it turns out better each time!

Next, I went in with five of the OPI Color Paints (Landscape Artist, Turquoise Aesthetic, Indigo Motif, Purple Perspective and Magenta Muse) on a small paintbrush.

That's about all I can think to say about this look in my tired and sick-feeling state, other than the fact that I love these! What do you guys think of them?

Thanks so much for having a look guys! I'll be back with a vampy dry marble tomorrow! Happy Tuesday! =)
