Candy Corn Nails

Hey everyone! It’s October (one of the best months tbh) and I’m going to have 4 Halloween nail tutorials for your enjoyment (and mine)! The first is the classic candy corn nail. I got a lot of compliments on these so I was pretty proud lol.

The colors I used for this design were Sally Hansen’s Insta-Dri in “Lightening” (#280), Xtreme Wear in “White On” (#300), and Triple Shine in the colors “Taheati” (#620) and “Pearly White (#300).

This design is really easy and there are several alterations you can make to it. Last year, I used the same colors, except a lighter shade of orange, and no glitter (GASP). This year, I just had to include a glitter top coat.

To get the stripes I free handed it, but you can use tape if you want the lines to be perfectly straight. I started with the yellow base coat, left a little yellow showing at the bottom and painted orange over the rest, and did the same with the white. It’s literally that simple. Then I added the glitter over the whole thing. People have done candy corn gradient (which I promise I’ll do next year), or some people even shape their nail to make it look more like candy (sorry, but that’s one thing I won’t do lol). You can do whatever you want, as long as you like it.

That’s all for now. Sorry about the lack of blogposts, but seriously homework is taking over. I may have a blogpost up Wednesday, but until then BYYEEE

L.A. Colors Color Last - First Impressions

Hey everybody! So I was walking around my local Walmart about 2 weeks ago and I came across a new display of nail polish for L.A. Colors Color Last nail polish. The polishes went for 2 dollars (I think anyway they were pretty cheap) and they claimed to last up to 10 days with the top coat. I decided I’d test that out because why not buy more nail polish that will inevitably dry out and be wasted, whatever. So that is what this blog post is for; I’ll be giving you my first impressions of both the actual polish and the top coat itself.  The color I chose is called “Friendship” and it’s a neutral purple color with slight pink tones. It also has this weird glitter that you can only see when it’s wet or if you have eagle eyes. Anyway, it is a nice color (I used 2 coats) but I had a few problems with application. This particular polish did NOT go on smoothly at all and it looked really rough on its own. I contemplated testing the polish without the top coat on one hand for a bett

Hello 2017

2016 has finally ended ( finally ) and now it's time for a fresh start. I've been looking at old photos and trying to remember all of the good stuff that has happened in the pile of garbage that was the past year. I posted a whole sappy caption on my personal Instagram ( x ) and then I started thinking... What are my plans for this year? I haven't thought about it at all; I didn't even think 2016 was ever going to be over. However, I think I have some goals. First I want to look at my 2016 Best Nine from my nail Instagram ( x ) Apparently I only posted 19 photos this year yikes. Sorry that that happened I kind of feel bad about it. I really love my blog and I want to do A LOT more with it. I'll talk about that in a second though because next I want to restate my goals for 2016 that I wrote. Goals for 2016 1.       Study: I slacked off this first semester with my school work and I think I could have done better. I really want to try this semester and next
