Better late than never?

Ok I know it has been a long time but I have a really good excuse. Well... maybe not good but acceptable. Anyways, here is the new stuff that you have missed. (not nail related) I was dogsitting 2 dogs for a week which kept me really busy because one dog could stay alone but the other one couldn't but the one that couldn't was mean. Whew! Oh and... I got a job. It's really easy and it is fun. Selling shoes and North Face stuff and outdoor stuff too. So besides that I was doing school plus a clinical that was 45 miles away. So besides ALL of that I got another job doing reception and registration at the hospital so I have been starting my orientation there so besides that I am STILL doing school, the other job, and clinicals. So I have been keeping myself really busy. However, luckily for all of you I have still been doing my nails and taking pictures. These are going to be very descriptive since this beginning was so if you want to know what I did just ask:
 This was OPI I have a herring problem with OPI Pirouette My Whistle
 I am pretty sure I used China Glaze Turned up turquoise but I am not positive. Then I taped off the ends and put white down the middle. Taped them again and konaded black leopard across the top.
 This was my Easter Mani and it had many different pastels and designs. If you really want to know I will explain it but otherwise just look at the pretty pictures :)
I got a bunch of florescent colors from Amazon and I used the blue, pink, and yellow colors and they turned out pretty fun so I water marbled them.
Ok and finally this is what I have on my nails right now. What I did was paint my nails with the holographic Claire's color glamorous, and then scotch taped around and painted with my new Nubar Teal Glitter.

Ok so now I am pretty sure you are caught up with all of my nail things but now you get to know what I have bought in these past weeks. First I FINALLY got an Iphone which I love. Second I bought these:
Which are super fun and very comfy, and I bought this ring from Claire's
(on the right) It's a pineapple!!

I hope you all are doing well still. I promise I wont get behind again but bare with me ad I finish up this semester.

Long time no see

Hey all! I'm so sorry I haven't updated this in a while. I really have a good excuse... I'm exhausted! I have been working 2 jobs PLUS class and clinicals. I have been doing my nails and taking pictures for the most part so I do have them, I just haven't put them up yet. I plan on doing it sometime either tomorrow or the next day so bare with me. I hope everyone had a good Easter and check back. I will show you what I have done then :)

Dotted Taped Mani

Hey all!
I hope you all had a great week. Mine has been pretty awesome. I got a job and I got an iPhone :) Yay! I like that this place doesn't care what is on my nails. That means more fun for everyone!

So for this mani I started with this hot pink black light polish from Claire's. I honestly have no idea what the name is. So then I taped diagonally and painted black with Wet and Wild Black Cream. After all of that dried, I took my smallest dotting tool that wasn't a point and then did the black dots on the pink area and the pink dots on the black area.


 I messed up in a few places but overall I really liked this design.


I hope you all enjoy this and I will add another post soon. Enjoy your weekend!

p.s. Go and see the hunger games. It is AMAZING (almost as good as the book)

St. Patty's Day

Hey all! Sorry I haven't posted in a while but now you get to see what I did for St. Patrick's day. I didn't want to do a mani that was overkill on the green.

First I started off with China Glaze Four Leaf Clover on all of my fingers but my ring finger. For that I used Pure Ice Superstar. Once that dried I put some SV on and let it dry. Then I used the Four Leaf Clover to stamp on a clover on my ring finger. Then did some polka dots around it using my dotting tool.

That just shows how nice the green was. Not an overkill but it was festive.


And there is the close up of the accent nail. I got many complements on it. After all of this I thought it would have been nice to add some sparkles. Too little too late I guess.

Anyways, I hope you all had a fun holiday and enjoy this mani. I'll try to post another one soon. Enjoy :)

Polka dot french

Hey all! Happy Monday :)

I saw this manicure on one of the sites that I follow and I dont remember what one so if you happen to see it let me know. Anyways I started out with China Glaze For Audry. Then I used my scotch tape to make a diagonal line and painted it with Wet N Wild Black Cream. After I put on a coat of SV, I used Pure Ice Superstar with my dotting tool and then put a stripe of white using the Kiss Nail stripper. Then I topped it off with my Essie top coat.


I like it and everything but I wish the stripe across was more straight. It's a cute idea but I need to have a steadier hand.


I hope you all enjoy this.

I seriously CANT wait until I can do my St. Patrick's day mani that I am planning. Nothing fancy but I am excited about it.

Hope you all have a good week!!

Kiss Nail Dress

Hey all! This is my second post for tonight. I'd write more but I have to get to work on some homework.

So I have been wanting to try the Sally Hanson nail strips but I can't get myself to do it because I can do most of the designs myself so I found a Kiss Nail Dress design called Peplum. They have a how to on the back.

I really like the idea of these because they have jewels sticking out and I can't do that kind of design myself. They weren't very pricy but I have to say I'm a little disappointed with them. They look nice from a far but up close they have these ridges that showed up, so I never even got to see how long they really lasted.
See how fun? But the finish to it isn't appealing to me.
Fun colors :)
I doubt these are exactly like the Sally Hanson ones because these seemed like these were more like stickers than nail polish. I probably wouldn't buy these again but maybe it was just me. Give them a try and let me know if you have the same problem that I had with them.
