Hello everyone! I got some stuff for school, which starts August 6th (where did summer go), and I made a video about it. Please check it out, and my last video if you didn't watch it, on my new channel Totesperfnails . Also, my first nail tutorial video will come out on Sunday and I'm so excited! That's all for now BYYEEE

Hey everyone! So if you haven't heard, Sally Hansen came out with a new line of polishes called Miracle Gel. It is a gel like polish, but it requires no light, just a gel color and the top coat! I was expecting them to be amazing, and I was right; I absolutely love them! I picked up 3 polishes from my local Walgreens for $10 a bottle: The top coat (#100), "Electra-cute" (#300), and "Combustealble" (#540). I chose to use the orange "Electra-cute" first. Like I said, you just apply the color like normal; I did two coats, and then the top coat. The first thing I noticed was the color, which is beautiful and very bright. It's a great color for summer. Next, I noticed how it was easy to apply and dried super quickly (even faster than some of the Insta-Dri polishes, I might add). Finally, just as a gel polish would, it stayed on my nails and didn't chip. I was very satisfied with this polish and I give it a 5 out of 5; I can't wait to try th...

Hello everyone! Today, I want to tell you my thoughts on the Argan Oil shampoo by Renpure Originals. I've been using this shampoo for over a month and I really like it. My hair was getting dry with the previous shampoo I was using, so I decided to switch. My mom picked this shampoo up from Kroger, but I've seen it other places as well. First off, it smells REALLY good. I was immediately attracted to the smell. It lathers well and makes my hair feel soft and silky. I pair this shampoo with the Brazilian Keratin Straightening Conditioner (don’t ask why I don’t use the matching conditioner) by the same brand. My hair is healthy, clean, and smells awesome. The great thing about this shampoo though is it has no sodium chloride, salt, dyes, sulfates, parabens, gluten, and is not tested on animals. Basically it is free of nasty, harsh chemicals. Also, argan oil is very good for your hair. Did I mention this shampoo smells good? LOL I really like it. Because I like it so muc...

Hello everyone! If you’ve been checking my Instagram recently you’ll know I purchased a new polish from the Triple Shine collection. Since I seem to be obsessed with glittery pink nail polish, the obvious choice for me was the shade “Twinkled Pink” (#310). I really like this polish. It looks great on its own and I know it will look great on top of other polishes as well. It is a cute color, slightly darker than a baby pink tint, and it has big silver sparkles. This polish just makes me feel super kawaii haha. It dries quickly and I did two coats (for extra sparkles). My rating is 5 out of 5 :) That is all for now, but I’ll be back Wednesday. If you have a suggestion for what I should do next, please leave me a comment. BYYEEE (P.s. Ignore the orange stains on my nails. It's been two weeks since that orange polish and the stain is still there lol. If you use Insta-Dri "Man-go Team!" ever, make sure you put on a base coat.)

Hello everyone! Today I have a review for Suncoat’s Natural Nail Polish Remover. My mom recently purchased this online at Amazon, which at the moment is $5.68 for 60ml. It is a corn and soya based nail polish remover with only 4 ingredients, which is significantly healthier than regular polish remover. It comes in either a 30ml or 60ml glass bottle (1oz or 2oz) which is better than plastic because the chemicals in plastic bottles will soak into the remover as well, and that’s bad for you. The directions say to put it on your nails with a Q tip or cotton ball, let soak, and rub off until the polish is removed; basically, it works just like normal removers. I had my mom test it on the 4 th of July nail design and the new glitter polish I got (I test my designs on her first ok) and she gave me a review. She said that it was very very oily, but it is oil so that’s what you’d expect. It took longer to remove than what it would for normal polish remover, but it worked just as well....

Hello everyone! Today I have a review for Sally Hansen’s No More Mistakes Manicure Clean-Up Pen. The pen claims it will erase smudges and smears in just one swipe. I sort of have mixed feelings about, so I thought I’d share them with you. I got this as a gift a while back so I’m not where they got it, but I have seen it in drug/convenient stores before for around 5 bucks. I was really excited to try this and it actually worked… but it didn’t last. After the first couple uses, the polish remover doesn’t come out of the pen. I’ve tried several things like switching the tips and cleaning them and rubbing the pen between my hands, but nothing really worked. I don’t know if this is just my experience but either way I wasn’t too happy about it. I was also quite surprised because I normally love Sally Hansen products. Overall, I give the product 2.5 stars. I think Q-tips are the cheapest and most effective way to clean around your nails. I will getting my tripods soon, so Yout...

Hey guys! So this is the tutorial I have been waiting for. This is my gradient red, white, and blue nail design for the 4 th of July. I’ve been seeing a lot of gradient nails this year and I thought this would fit the trends.  The colors I used for this design were Sally Hansen’s Insta-Dri “Rapid Red” (#280) and “Brisk Blue” (#430), Xtreme Wear “White On” (#300), Revlon ”Stunning” (#340), and Sally Hansen’s Base & Top Coat. For this nail design, you will need a makeup sponge, preferably one with a wedge shape. You will start with a base coat in white and a clear coat on top of the white. This extra clear coat will keep your base on and make the polish extra smooth and easy to work on. Now you will paint your wedge with your red, white, and blue polishes. Pat the sponge on your nails, doing this a couple times to make the polish opaque. Clean around your nails, add your glitter, and you're done! This nails design is fun, easy, and very festive. You can change...

Hey guys! I have a tutorial for you that fits perfectly with summer’s hot weather lol. I really loved these flame nails and people asked about them and said they looked great. I actually miss them lol. The colors I used were Sally Hansen’s Insta-Dri "Lightening" (#280), "Rapid Red" (#280), and "Wined Up" (#350), Triple Shine "Play Koi" (#240), and Sally Hansen’s Base & Top Coat You start with the yellow base coat and let that dry. Now you will need a small brush to paint your tips. If you don’t have one you can use a skinnier nail polish brush that comes with a bottle of polish and just be really really careful lol. Anyway, you start by applying the orange polish in curved lines. Then you paint on the red color overtop of that, but with shorter lines, and do the same with the darker red. Apply a clear coat and you are done. Let the compliments pile in lol. I got this nail idea from Pinterest (per usual) so I’ll put a link below...
