Christmas Nails 2015

Hey peeps, how’s it going? I hope you are having a nice holiday so far. I decided I wanted to start updating this blog again because I truly miss it and I think it will be good for me. I can’t promise everything will be as routine as it used to be, but I will try my very hardest to post as much as I can. I’m making it one of my goals for 2016, so I can’t fail right hahaHA.

Ahem… anyway, if you didn’t notice I have made some improvements to my blog’s layout. I have a new background, different fonts, tab colors, etc. I think it looks quite nice. I also updated my About Me section and my Nail Polish Inventory, if you were curious about any of that.

So, for the reason you are probably reading this, here is my nail design for this Christmas.

I decided to go with something simple yet still festive. I started with my Revlon Base + Top Coat, and then carefully added a red French tip over my nails. It’s actually quite simple to free had French tips; just lay your hand on a table and get a small amount of polish on the brush (you want to make sure it isn't too much that way you can make the French tip the width that you want without any issues), then sweep the brush horizontally over the tip of your nail. While doing this rotate your finger instead of moving the brush to make the line a bit smoother. The red I used is by Estee Lauder in the color “Fallen Angel”. After that dried I added a gold glitter all over my nail using Essie’s “rock at the top” (#962).

I hope you guys have a great Christmas and if you don’t celebrate Christmas I hope you have a great festive season. I have a few more blog posts lined up for the near future, so I hope to see you back. Not all of them are nail related, but I’m thinking that I’ll try to branch out my posts because that’s why I made this new blog anyway. See you soon :)

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
