Neutral Nails – Triangle French Tips

Hey dudes. I decided I wanted to do something simple with my nails for the week, but I also wanted to do something different. I have never done a different shape for French tips and I have a bunch of nail stickers, so why not use them. I believe the brand of nail stickers I used is kiss. I don’t really remember though and I don’t have the outside packaging anymore.

The polishes I used were Revlon’s Base + Top Coat, Sally Hansen’s Diamond Strength polish in “Ballet Bare” (#3227) and Insta-Dri polish “Sand Storm” (#113).

To start I used the diamond strength polish as a base on my nail. It originally came with a French manicure set, so it is perfect for these designs. Only adding one coat makes it very subtle and natural looking which is perfect. However, you can see that my nails are stained from years of nail painting; just ignore that. Next, I used the nail stickers to create the French tip. Depending on where you place the sticker changes the width blah blah you know the drill. “Sand Storm” is a really nice tan polish, so that it the one I chose to use, but you can use whatever color you like. I also see a lot of people use two colors which is also cool. Do that and tweet me pictures. Wait ten seconds after applying the polish before taking the sticker off. I wouldn’t wait for the polish to dry completely because sometimes the sticker will take the polish with it and I don’t trust them. Add a top coat and you are done.

I hope you like this simple design. Let me know if you have anything in particular you want me to do. I just thought of something that I might do next... we'll see. 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
