Mom Monday Cheetah Nails!!

I am slowly teaching my mom the way to position your hand for a good picture!! You can see her progress :)

This was her New Year's Mani, it matched her shirt perfectly!! She got tons of complements too and got to brag about me and my little blog ;)


Yes, my mom wears shirts like this..... 


This one really shows the multi colored effect of the holo sparkles !!

This is two coats of Pure Ice Best Friend, with Sally Hansen Black Diamond tips. I stamped over it with Zoya Codie using m57. And then my mom needed her glitter (Wet n Wild Megalast Dasher),

I was pretty surprised how light Codie stamped, but I really liked it in the end.

Fireworks :)

Oops :) Forgot to take pics of this mani before wearing it :)
Well you get to see the wear of the polish this way :)
Haha

This is my pre-new year mani, I am going to be changing it for the actual night/day.




Excuse my dry hands!

They are supposed to be fireworks :)

I used 1 coat of Sinful Colors Black on Black, then a coat of WnW Megalast Blackmail. That has multicolored glitter in it, but on the nail it wasn't visible :( I was thinking it would make it look like the starry sky but oh well.

Then I stamped 'fireworks' on with several metallic golds and silvers. I used BM02 for the plate and Orly Luxe, Zoya Richelle, and Zoya Trixie.

I really loved this manicure upclose but it was far too subtle to wear for new years. I need some bling!!!

What are your plans for this new year's mani??

Also, my blog sale has been updated so go check it out!!

Day 15 - Delicate Print

Oops my scheduling didn't work.... So prepare yourself for three posts in one day!!

Surprisingly this day has been the hardest for me to come up with....

 I started with two coats of Stiletto by Jessie's Girl. This was another buy influenced by Nouveau Cheap's blog.




It is a 'nude' that has a wonderful silver shimmer! I say 'nude' because my skin is so pale, nudes look like beige/mauve on me. 

Then I added stamp m80 with Sally Hansen's White On. 
 



I love this design and color combo, but I don't know how delicate it is.... but this is what I think of when I think delicate. haha :)

Day 13 - Animal Print

Omggg I do so much animal print for my friends I figured I would just spam you with pics :) I never wrote down any names I used so sorry about that. 

This is the first nail art I ever did!!! EVER! It was right after I got my first striper polish. 



LOVE! I need to do this again!






This is the first time I ever did more than one color on a stamp at a time. It was super stressful to do really quick so it wouldn't dry but it looked awesome!!!

Hope you enjoyed my animal print spam!

Day 7 - Black and White

Okay today's nails started out with an awesome idea and kinda turned into a fail. However, I would probably still wear it.
I started with two coats of Sally Hansen White out. And my plan was to stamp piano print on it in black.... but it would not transfer!!! AHH! I want that stamp to work sooo bad. I have not given up yet!!

So instead I used... plate m22

Yeah ignore that it is upside-down. I actually made them all look different like that. I dont know why that would seem like a good idea, but it looked like I had shaky hands while stamping.... idk. 

If i did this mani again I would put them all in the same direction.... probably like my middle finger diagonally. 

So what do you think??? Fail or okay??

Pink Wednesday!! :)

Happy Hump day girls!!!!!!

This is going to be a short post, but I really loved having this on my nails :)


This is two coats of cream pink by Sinful Colors, it is a lovely pink with a hint of a shimmer to it!

Stamped with Konad Special White polish. :) Super girly and fun!

This is probably the girliest mani I have every worn! Do you like this kind of mani or is it a once in a while thing like me??

BUSY DAY :(

Unfortunately, I have been ridiculously busy today. This was the earliest I could blog :( So.... A Mani I did before Easter Vacation :)


I got this idea a while ago and my roommate loves animal print. So, TAH DAH :)
I used Konad plates for the designs and tape to keep the designs in the right area.

And my highlight of the day....... 


MY BUNDLE MONSTER PLATESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Both sets and I am already loving them!! 
However, my chemistry test is not allowing me to play with them until tomorrow night :(

Did anyone else get their plates in?! Did you get to use them yet?!
Good night :)

Easter Mani - Day 1!

Happy Friday everyone!! I have decided that I am going to feature easter inspired nails from now until Easter (and maybe even after that).

So here is Day one!! I did these for my little sister, it was the first time she had seen Konad, and lets just say she was superrrr excited :) 


She couldn't pick just one color or just one stamp :) They look almost like eggs ! And of course, we had to add SPARKLES :D


The glitter is actually an awesome find from Meijer, Studio M's Magic Attraction. It is an awesome clear base stuffed with holographic glitter. [Not visible in pics because these are taken with a phone camera :( ]
Other colors I used from thumb to pinky : Studio M's Neon Caution, Color Club Twiggie, Color Club Get a Clue, Color Club Yum Gum, and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Mint Sorbet. 

These were all awesome colors to work with, opaque and pastel awesomeness :) I used Konad's Special White polish and a variety of plates. 

Hope you are having a good day and hopefully enjoying your day off :)

Pink Wednesday!!

I just joined the awesome group of ladies who wear pink on Wednesday!!! Loveeee the mean girls reference and I am pumped to try out all of my pinks :)

Today is also the first time I used a zoya nail polish, and let me say it did not disappoint!! The application was smoother than.... well anything :) It was a tad thinner than the nail polishes I'm used to, but I dont know if that is a Zoya thing or because this polish is so sheer. I'm wearing Zoya Hayden, an awesome pink with tons of microglitter. It made my nails happy to wear it :) Although, it did still leave some visible nail lines but it wasn't terrible. I'll probably layer it over another pink next time. 


And of course I got bored with that so I did some black tips...
20 minutes later I was bored with that too so I took out my Konad :)

This is the fishnet stamp from m57


Excuse the crappy quality of my pictures, I left my real camera at home and so I have had to take them all with my phone. Still, they are pretty decent for a phone camera.

Have a Great Wednesday!!!

Zebra Nails :)

We had a dance this weekend and my awesome roommate let me do her nails for it. :)
Here is the manicure:


Excuse the nail polish on the skin, we were in a hurry.

I used Wet n Wild Teal of Fortune for the blue base and Sinful Colors Black On Black for the rest of the nail. I used Konad white nail polish for the zebra stripes and plate m57.

I love this manicure and I think its the best one I have done yet. Just for funzies look at how perfect they matched her dress!!


I love it!! 

What do you think of the manicure? Have you done nails that matched an outfit before?
