Autumnized Galaxies

Welcome back!

I did these nails just like all my other galaxies, because it's been almost a whole year worth of galaxy nails! These were really similar to my Thanksgiving galaxy nails, but I added some green, and used different glitter!

Brown: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Cococa A Go Go
White: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri OMGhost
Red: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Rapid Red
Orange: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Pumpkin Queen
Yellow: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Sizzlin' Saffron
Green: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri I-rush Luck
Glitter: Pure Ice Bling on the Holidays

I think I may have liked these better than the Thanksgiving ones, because these were more unique!

Thanks for reading! <3

Christmas 2015: Christmas Lights

Welcome back!

My first Christmas nails of the year! I was so excited about these, and I am so happy with how they turned out!


White: Zoya Purity
Black: It's So Easy Stripe Rite Striper Black
Red: Revlon Revlon Red
Green: Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear Tan Lime
Yellow: Zoya Darcy
Blue: Orly Color Blast A Happy...Puddle

These were really easy to do, but they did take a bit of time. The longest part was drawing the string, because I wanted them to look perfect for it! So I went over the black a couple times in places to even it out and make it smoother.

Thanksgiving 2015: Watermarble Turkey

Welcome back!

These cute watermarble turkeys were 100% inspired by @banicured_ on Instagram! She did such a good job, I really wanted to try. Last time I did water marble, it actually worked out really well, so I was actually excited to try again!


Red: China Glaze Tip Your Hat
Orange: China Glaze Stoked to Be Soaked
Yellow: Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear Mellow Yellow
Brown: Essie Partner in Crime
White: Salon Perfect Sugar Cube
Black: Salon Perfect Oil Slick

I am so happy with how these turned out! The turkey and water marble were complimented a lot, and my sister loved the dots so much I had to do the same thing on her in Christmas colors!

Thanksgiving 2015: Pilgrims

Welcome back!

A day or two before Thanksgiving, I decided to do some cute Pilgrim nails!


Black: Salon Perfect Oil Slick
White: Salon Perfect Sugar Cube
Nude: Essie Spin the Bottle
Brown: Essie Partner in Crime
Yellow: Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear Mellow Yellow
Green: Pure Ice Free Spirit

I freehanded everything for this manicure! I wasn't super excited or happy with it, honestly. Which I always hate when I'm that way, but I didn't even finish my right hand with it, because I didn't like it very much at all.

October Favorites

Welcome back!

These are excessively late, I know. But things were absolutely crazy in November, between my boyfriend coming to visit, going home twice, Thanksgiving, and plenty of work to keep me busy. Things have calmed down a little, though, so I can relax finally, and catch up on here!


Manicure Favorites

Fuzzy Monsters: These turned out so well, and I didn't want to take them off when I had them on! They were inspired by Chalkboard Nails, and the link to her manicure in is the original post!

Candy and Chevrons: I obviously love chevron, and I love candy, so this manicure was the perfect mix. I also loved how the chevrons all went together, but were somewhat less traditional Halloween colors.

Other Favorites


  • Halloween. I mean, duh. It was October, so for me, that means all Halloween, all the time. Which is funny, because I don't really like Halloween. I like the cute parts of it, though, so I had fun with that!
  • Purple. I had a lot of fun using purple in my manicures! It is a little less traditional Halloween color, but you still see it. I liked including that in manicures to mix things up a little every time.

New Tries in October

  • OPI Infinite Shine. I had never tried any sort of long lasting polish before this, but I went out of town for nearly a week, and I did not have the time to paint my nails while I was there, so I wanted something that would last during the trip, and look professional. I did a french tip with the Infinite Shine polishes. I was very impressed with them! They looked like gel, and lasted a long time, but were so easy to remove when it came time!
  • Glitter Placement. I'd never done a glitter placement before! I tried one time, but I didn't even get done before I gave up because I wasn't using a good glitter for it, and I didn't like the colors either, I don't think. But when I did my glitter pumpkin this year, I used did placement on a couple of nails!

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!
