Chevron Nails

This is my first attempt trying chevron nails with tape.
The stripes are a bit uneven, but I like it overall :)



I used Ruby Wing Green Peace & Crowd Surf
I used tape and pinking scissors to created the chevron stripes.

OPI- Don't Talk Bach To Me and update

Hey everyone! Wow, I've been gone for a while. I'm 11 weeks pregnant so I haven't been painting my nails as much, the smell of polish remover makes me nauseous. I've been using nail polish strips all the time for almost two months. Since OPI released the Germany collection, I had to go to Ulta and get a few colors. Today I have a color that isn't similar to any polish I own. OPI- Don't Talk Bach to Me is a yellowish-green shimmer. (3 coats)




I'm using a new top coat too, so far so good. It really does dry fast.
I bought a Stila pallate and 2 polishes: Don't Talk Bach to Me and German-icure by OPI then I went back to get Every Month is Oktoberfest.
(She got a hold of my accessory box, lol)
Liz is going to be a big sister in March 2013 :)

Thanks for reading!

China Glaze- Cling On & Eyeshadow

Hello everyone! I went to Sally's on Wednesday and I saw that the CG magnetic polishes were on sale, so I got the green one. This is my first magnetic nail polish :)
I didn't use a base or top coat. I applied one coat then waited for it to dry (this polish dries quickly) then I applied another coat and held the magnet against the polish. I liked how it turned out, so I might go back to get some other colors if they still have them. The polish and the magnet were $3.29 each.



I used the arrow pattern.

The other day while blog stalking, I saw some pretty cool blue eye makeup . I wanted to replicate SilhouetteScreams's Djinn look but it's not as cool as hers.
Products used:
L.A. Colors eyeshadow palette in Supernatural
L'Oreal HiP eyeliner in Navy
NYX Provocateur mascara

Thank for reading :)

OPI- Thanks a Windmillion

Hello everyone! I found another color that I absolutely love :) I picked up Thanks a Windmillion, I have a Herring Problem and Vampsterdam from the OPI Holland collection a while ago. As soon as I applied Thanks a Windmillion, I fell in love with this color. I still need to swatch the two other colors though. After 2 coats, some nails still had VNL so I used 3 coats on those.



^ A few days later, I repainted my nails with Thanks a Windmillion again, I used Done out in Deco on my ring finger so I could wear both of my favorite colors together :)

Very Late St. Patrick's Mani

Hello everyone. It's been about 2 months since I last posted, and I feel bad for not updating my blog. In February, my family moved and I got really stressed and very lazy. Everything is back to normal now so I should update my blog at least once a month. Today I have my St. Patrick's manicure. For Valentines Day I didn't even have time to do my nails and I couldn't find anything I needed because my room looked like a hoarders room :P I was going to have a giveaway about a month before St. Patrick's day but I'm going to do it right after this post. Yeah, a St. Patrick's giveaway in April, fail.

I used 2 coats of China Glaze's Holly-Day and one coat of Blonde Bombshell on my thumb.

I also wore some green and gold eye shadow, and I blended it horribly lol

Green: Christmas Tree

I'm finally posting my Christmas manicure, sorry it took so long :( I wanted to draw a tree on my ring finger but it didn't turn out very nice, so I made a tree using dots instead. I used acrylic paint for the dots.

Orly- Enchanted Forest (2 coats)
China Glaze- Hi-Tek

Colors used:
Sally Hansen- Green with envy (3 coats for the base)
WnW- Black Creme (For the eyes)
Art Deco Striper in Black (For the mouth and eyebrows)

Zoya: Shawn

Hey everyone! These pictures are from last month, but right now I'm wearing the same color so I don't feel like I'm super behind on my posts :P
When I first bought OPI Uh-Oh Roll Down the Window and I remembered I had Zoya Shawn at home, I was so mad because I thought I had bought a dupe, but they're aren't the same lol
I used two coats & even without a topcoat this color is super shiny when it dries. :D

OPI: Uh-Oh Roll Down The Window

Hello! Long time no see. It's been a while since I've bought a polish from any new collection, not because I don't like the colors but because I'm broke lol. This color caught my eye because I like army green, so I had to get it. :)
This is two coats, I forgot to take a bottle picture. :(

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Hello! I went to Ulta the day before my birthday to buy OPI Black Shatter and they were sold out. Then the next day we went out to eat and there was a nail salon next door to the restaurant and they had Black Shatter, so I bought it and Last Friday Night from the Katy Perry collection. For my St. Patrick's mani I used Sally Hansen's Spring Green from the Insta-Dri line and one coat of Black Shatter.



Please excuse my ugly cuticles :(

Essie- Pretty Edgy Comparison

Hey everyone :]
Today I decided to swatch on my fake nails, I didn't glue them on because they are a pain in the toe to take off, so I taped them on lol
Essie: Pretty Edgy- A pretty grass green creme (2 coats)
OPI- Jade is the New Black- An awesome dusty green creme (2 coats)
Both polishes applied well, but I don't like the brush on the Essie polishes.

^ Outside in the shade

^ Outside in the sun

^ My fake nail looks creepy
