Waterfall Nails

Hello everyone. So I delayed this blog post because I was too lazy to write it and I've been super busy, but I purchased some new nail polish and I wanted to do a design with both of them. At Walgreen's I bought two more polishes from Sally Hansen's Miracle Gel line.

The first was a deep dark purple (the base color) called "Boho a-Go-Go" (#549). It's a super pretty color and it's a great polish just like the rest of the line. However, it did chip a lot on the tips of my nails, but I'm blaming the top coat I used which is over a year old. Also my nails were pretty long so it's easy for them to chip.

The other color, which is a sort of pastel yellow (it's darker than pastel, but not like a super yellow color) called "Gigabryte" (#769). I needed another yellow color after my Insta-Dri one dried up and I really liked this color. It went well with the purple so I wanted to incorporate them both in the design. I had never done a waterfall type design before, so I just took a skinny brush and painted yellow lines in different lengths. To save my horrible line work I took an old favorite "Rock At The Top" (#962) from Essie and painted some glitter over top.

I really like both of these colors and I hope to use them a lot more before they dry up. I just did a Halloween nail design (literally before this post) that will be up soon. It's one that I've never done before and I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised by the results. See you soon!

Miracle Gel “Greyfitti” Review

  Hello everyone! Today I have a review for one of my newer polishes by Sally Hansen called “Greyfitti” (#260). So, keep reading to see what I think!  The first thing I have to say is that this polish took 3 coats to get this opacity. That was a little bit annoying, but it didn’t take too long to dry and this color is very pretty. I guess if you needed a really transparent grey color for any type of nail design that this polish could be considered multifunctional.  Also, this color reminds me of Candie’s “Concrete Jungle”, which I’ve done reviews on before, except it's a bit of a lighter shade of grey. I may like Candie’s a bit better… no offense to Sally Hansen lol. This polish is great and you know that I love Sally Hansen products, but I prefer the other one a bit more. Overall, I’d say that this polish deserves 4 out of 5 stars. I like the color and it dries quickly. So far it has lasted with no chips (even though I haven’t had it on for that long so I’...

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 ...

DIY: Pumpkin Spiced Latte

Hey everyone! So, like the basic white girl I am, I love pumpkin spiced lattes. However, buying them every day can really drain your bank account (or in this case my allowance hehe). Today I have decided to teach you how to make an easy, quick pumpkin spiced latte. Naturally, I found this recipe from Pinterest, but I tweaked it a bit. Here’s what you’ll need: ¾ cup milk (I used 2% because that’s what was in the fridge) 2 tsp. white granulated sugar 2 tbsp. pumpkin puree ¼ tsp. vanilla extract A palm full of pumpkin spice ½ cup hot coffee Whip cream (for an extra touch, but it’s optional) Start off with combining your milk, sugar, pumpkin, vanilla, and pumpkin spice. You’ll want to blend this mixture until it is frothy. I used a hand mixer, but you can use a blender if you want. Next, you want to heat up the pumpkin mixture you just made. The original recipe said to heat it in a sauce pan, which I did the first time, but I was too lazy this time an...
