Slanted French Tip

Hey guys!

I've got a multi-colored, slanted french tip for you today. As I've said before, I'm not a huge fan of french tips but this one is a bit of a twist. I used 3 different base coats, Blue Grotto from Sephora by OPI, Caliente Romance from Sephora by OPI, and Fuchsia from China Glaze. I used White Cap from China Glaze for the french tip.

A simple twist on a classic look, hope you enjoyed!

Barbie Pink!

Hey guys!

This past weekend, my boyfriend and I had a wedding to go to so of course once I decided on what dress I was wearing, I had to figure out what to do with my nails! I waned something girly and pretty and simple. As I was looking through my polish I found Play the Peonies from OPI but I wanted more that just that beautiful light pearly pink so I went looking in my glitters to see if I could find anything that would go well. I found a glittery pink top coat from Forever21.

It turned out perfect! It changed Play the Peonies just enough (click here to see Play the Peonies by itself). As you can see, the top coat really did change the color and the glitter was just enough. I really liked how it turned out, hope you guys did too!

Reverse Glitter Gradient

Hey guys!

I needed a little excitement on my nails so I decided to do a reverse glitter gradient. When in doubt, use some glitter! I wanted something brighter so the colors I used were Delia's Bright Purple and OPI Sparkle-licious.

I used the same method as my previous glitter gradients just focused the glitter at the bottom of my nail instead of the tip.

Hope you guys enjoyed!

Hot Apple with gold crackle

Hey Guys!

With the weather getting nicer and nicer I was dying to find the most perfect red/hot pink mix and so I went searching through my stash and I found it with Hot Apple from China Glaze. It was so bright and so perfect for my mood. It was so good, I even put it on my toe nails as well! I also did an accent nail of gold crackle, Antiqued Gold from Sally Hansen.

I'm just getting more and more excited for the warm weather and summer! I hope you guys are too and thanks for taking a look :)

Mac Ruffian Inspired

Hey guys!

I was flipping through my May edition of InStyle and came across pictures of the Mac Ruffian Press-On nails and fell in love! The nails are going to be released in June. They are two or three toned nails that have a half moon and a french tip. I'm sure it's been done before but this is the first time I've seen it so I decided to give it a shot. I'm not a huge fan of french tips personally because my natural nail shape doesn't really work well with the typical french tip shape but I figured with a half moon at the bottom, it might work a little better.

The colors I used from left to right: Nice is Nice from Essie, Dove from Zoya, and Anja from Zoya.

As you can tell, I wasn't patient enough to wait for my nails to be totally dried so Anja, the dark purple, streaked when I put my top coat on. If this ever happens to you, you could always add a layer of glitter to help hide the streaks if you don't try to clean the streaks up. I just left these because I didn't feel like doing either when I originally did them, it was late and I was tired and just decided to let it go. No one even noticed until I would point it out. 

I hope you guys like it and give it a shot! I'm sure the Mac ones are going to be a little pricey so why not do them yourself!

Neon Water Marble

Hey guys!

I've been seeing a lot of nude colors mixed with some neon colors all over from fashion to home decor and everything in between so I figured I would give it a shot on my nails! It didn't quite turn out how I hoped but I still liked the end result.

The base color I used was Blank Canvas Cream from Finger Paints. This is one of my favorite nudes. It goes really well with my skin tone and just a nice nude for me!

The colors I used in the marbling were all from China Glaze, from left to right: Fuchsia, Coral Star, and White Cap. 

The main problem I had with this water marble is that I used a bowl instead of a cup like I usually do. The polish didn't want to spread out to the edges of the bowl and if it did spread out, it would dry quickly. I just kept going and hoped for the best. It didn't turn out awfully but I was hoping for better. Hope you liked it!
