Fall China Glaze Dotticure

Welcome back!

I know, it has been forever! I've been bad about doing my nails this month anything, what with the holidays, and I've been really busy in school, and just with life. I've been so exhausted it's been hard to motivate myself to paint my nails period. But I have painted them several times, but then I haven't posted about them! So, it's catch-up night!

Gray: China Glaze Change Your Altitude
Green: China Glaze S'More Fun
Blue: China Glaze Sleeping Under the Stars
Glitter: China Glaze Let's Dew It

I absolutely loved this manicure! I loved how the nail covered in dots has the green dots thrown in. I feel like I placed them perfectly, and it doesn't have a pattern, which is exactly what I was going for!

31 Day Challenge: Day 25

Welcome back!

Prompt: Inspired by Fashion

Gray: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Show Steel-er
Orange: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Pumpkin Queen
Gold: Sally Hansen Color Foil Liquid Gold

I know, I'm finally behind. And I hate it! But I'm working on catching up. I went home for the weekend to visit family, and I was so busy that by the time I went to get in bed at night, when I would normally do my nails, I was too tired! I'm going to get caught up quickly, though, and I'd like to still finish on time!

These nails were inspired by a dress I saw from New York Fashion Week from this Fall 2015. The picture can be found below!

Check back tomorrow for more nail art! <3

31 Day Challenge: Day 18

Welcome back!

Prompt: Half Moon

Gray: OPI I Cannoli Wear OPI
Dark Puple: OPI O Suzi Mio
Light Purple: OPI Purple Palazzo Pants
Blue: OPI Gelato On My Mind

So, I originally did different nails for today. But I hated them. They did not look right, so I changed it up this morning, and I love these. These are a slightly different sort of half moon, but I love the way they turned out! All of the polishes that I used were from the OPI Venice Collection. All it took for this look was a dotting tool, which is awesome because most half moon manicures take a sticker, so you have to wait forever for them to dry! These were quick, and they are so cute!

Check back tomorrow for more nail art! <3

Pink & Gray Mix and Match

Welcome back!

This manicure was 100% inspired by Nailstorming. You can find her on her website or her Youtube channel. She does designs like this a lot and I just really wanted to try it...and I loved it!

Pink: China Glaze Pinking Out the Window
Gray: Zoya Carey
White: Nicole by OPI Yoga Then Yogurt
Glitter: China Glaze Dancing & Prancing

The chevrons were made using Nail Vinyls. I used a dotting tool from Amazon for the polka dots, and the sponging method to apply the glitter.

#NailArtJan Day 25

Welcome back!

Today's prompt was "studs!" I don't own a lot of studs, because I really just don't use them much. I have to use my hands all day at work, and I wash them all the time. I just worry about losing them or having them fall off and I hate the look with top coat on top.

The studs I used were from Sally's Beauty Supply and Icing. The orange-y polish is OPI Can't aFjord Not To from their Nordic collection this past fall. The blue-gray polish is Essie The Perfect Cover Up, also from their fall 2014 collection.

31 Day Challenge: Day 12

Welcome back!

Today's theme: stripes!

For this, I really wanted to use a couple of new stripers that I had from Salon Perfect. It was kind of inspired by plaid, but I wanted to keep it a little simpler, and use less stripes than plaid would have.

My base color was Zoya Carey. For the stripes, I started by putting down the pattern that I wanted in white, using Salon Perfect Nail Art in  White Out. For the colors, I used Salon Perfect Nail Art in Pretty in Pink and Spring. Once it was done, I topped it with NYC One Minute Color in Matte Me Crazy.

I really like the way this turned out, but I just need to get better at making good stripes.
