Hi,
It's finally Saturday and the sun is shinning outside so I'm gonna make this post as short as possible to go out and enjoy a little sunshine and take some other pics for upcoming posts.
For today I have OPI Mermaid's Tears. I got this polish in October at TJ Maxx along with a crackle for like $7 (score!!) and it's my first time trying it out. Let me just tell you no matter how many turquoise/aqua polishes you own they're never the same and I'm so glad I got this one.
This polish is something like a dusty green aqua creme. The aplication was good, only 2 coats for full opacity and you'll fall in love with the results.
I also added a stamp using a blue and a green metallic polishes, I thought you would be able to tell the difference but to be honest it doesn't show much. The stamp was made with my Shany 21 plate.
That's all. Time for me to soak up the sun.
Thanks for reading <3
Hi ladies,
After a few days filled with purple nails I decided to switch it up a bit. I was going through my stash and remember I haven't used this polish since I first got it, and it's actually a great color.
108 Degrees is a hot pink jelly shimmer that wants to show a little bit of gold duo chrome in the bottle but sadly it doesn't translate to the nail, still is one gorgeous shade.
For this design I used one coat of Zoya Dawn as base and then 2 coats of China Glaze 108 Degrees. I stamp the design using Sinful Colors Easy Going and the Konad m64 plate.
I love how this looks, I have a thing for deep colors as base a lighter shades to stamp lately. (Like you can't tell)

Hello!
This will be a quick post and a double feature, I'm still trying to catch up with the challenge but hopefully I won't get too far behind.
The first post will be Ornament nails. All I could think about was the glittery tree decorations and I had an idea in my head that I couldn't translate into my nails so I had to turn to my always helpful stamps.
The base color is Orly Au Champagne and the stamping is from the plate BM- 225.
Now for Starry Night I used Butter London The Black NIght as base color and the Konad M14 plate.
Hello!
I'm 2 days late on the challenge, life's been crazy lately, I've been getting off work at 7:00pm each day and I just eat dinner and go to bed with no time to paint my nails or take picture the way I would like to.
Luckily I am determined to keep up so I'm posting my white nails today.
For this mani I used 3 coats of Kleancolor Metallic White and a white stamp using my XL A plate.
Hello!
Today's challenge is blue nails. I'm not really fond of blue nails although I love the color on everything else and I even own several blue nail polishes. Weird right?
For this mani I decided to try the Saran Wrap manicure that I've been drooling over for months thanks to the always perfect nails of Marta from Chit Chat nails and I'm kind of please of how it turned out.
First I added a coat of Essence Date in the Moonlight, then a coat of OPI Ogre The Top Blue and did the saran wrap. The stamp is from the Cheeky plate CH6 with a non brand white polish.
And now a close up to the little snowman.
Hello,
Another day another mani for the Advent Calendar Challenge, I am actually loving every second of it, who doesn't like to try out holiday manicures every day?
I must have pulled out every green polish I own in search for the perfect shade till I ran into China Glaze Glittering Garland, once I put it on I couldn't believe this beauty has been sitting on my nail polish rack since last year and I haven't even glanced at it.
Glittering Garland is a dark green almost black base with tons of green micro flakies that shine all over your nails like the lights on a Christmas tree.
Once I had it on I wanted to add and extra shine so I added a coat of a Flakie green Forever 21 nail polish, the label only says Lime. Don't you just hate that they make some really pretty polishes but the names are just lame?
Also I added a stamp on my ring finger using my Bundle Monster BM14 plate.
Hello,
It's the second day of the challenge and I feel like I'm already falling behind cause I'm posting everything so late in the day. I'll try to keep up tomorrow and have the manis ready in advance, I promise :)
For today we had to do gold, I initially did a completely different thing but it didn't came up as I pictured it in my head so I removed it and then remembered I had this lovely glitter polish and decided it to used it instead.
This is a polish I got last year at Old Navy (didn't even know they made polishes) and I love it. It's a mix if super small gold and cooper glitter in a clear base, the formula was great, I used 3 coats for full opacity and no top coat since it didn't dry gritty.
Being the stamping obsessed I am I couldn't just leave the glitter alone so I stamped some gold stripes using China Glaze Passion and my Shany SH23 plate.
I love how pretty it turned out.
Hello Ladies,
Can you believe it's December already? This whole year went by so fast and I'm really excited to finish it with a nail challenge. Recently I was given a Lovely Blog Award by the lovely lady behind the polish aholic blog and I found out they were doing the Advent Calendar Nail Challenge, I of course had to join in.
It's 24 days filled with awesome holiday nail art, I have a picture of the whole break down below:
Now on to the first day nails. For this mani I used 2 coats of A England Merlin, the most awesome silver glitter and Zoya Sookie with Bundle Monster's BM -205 plate. In my ring finger I have 2 coats of China Glaze Love Marilyn.
I really love how this turned out. Now go check out what the girls came up with.
What do you think of this mani? Are you rocking holiday nails yet?
Thanks for reading <3
Hello!
I have just a simple mani for today, a little red and silver to start getting in the holiday spirit and the Christmas manis :D
For this I used China Glaze The Ten Man as base and China Glaze in Winter Berry and Hey Sailor for the stamp using the Bundle Monster 215 plate.
Take a look:
I used two different tones of red for the stamp but you can barely tell, this second picture gives you the idea of it thanks to the bad lighting haha.
I like how it turned out I only wished the difference in the reds were more noticeable. What do you think?

Hello!
Today I have some nail art to show you, it's a pretty simple design but it looked pretty good and I love the colors cause it made my nails look so vibrant, this was actually inspired by a sweater I had on the other day that had like fuchsia and purple stripes but I decided to give it a twist and use waves instead of just plain straight stripes.
Check it out:
For this mani I used Orly Miss Conduct as base color, then I stamped the waves with Color Club Secret Agent and Bundle Monster's BM-210 plate. I wish the purple would've been a little but more intense but I still like the outcome.
And that's it! What's your favorite color combo? Let me know in the comments
