Christmas Present Nails

Hello everyone! Sorry this is up so late, but I got so into wrapping presents that I completely forgot. I was also out at Kroger for a while because it’s recently been remodeled and now there is a bunch of organic stuff. Anyway, I’m getting off topic; here is what you will need for this design.

The polishes I used were Essie's “Good as Gold” (#941) and Sally Hansen’s Insta-Dri shades in “Wined Up” (#350), “Jet Set Jade” (#180), and “Silver Sweep” (#230). You may also need a skinny nail art brush.

I started with a gold base and let that dry. On each nail I alternated between red and green “ribbon”, which is just a vertical line down the nail and a horizontal one across the nail. For the bow, I used the silver polish and my skinny nail art brush to draw a bow shape. Add a clear coat and you’re done!

I hope you like this design. I used all metallic colors, which was a complete accident, but quite festive anyway. I have to edit a video, but I don’t know if I’ll get it up tomorrow or not. You know the drill though; if I upload it I’ll stick it here. 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
