Candy Corn Nails

Hey everyone! It’s October (one of the best months tbh) and I’m going to have 4 Halloween nail tutorials for your enjoyment (and mine)! The first is the classic candy corn nail. I got a lot of compliments on these so I was pretty proud lol.

The colors I used for this design were Sally Hansen’s Insta-Dri in “Lightening” (#280), Xtreme Wear in “White On” (#300), and Triple Shine in the colors “Taheati” (#620) and “Pearly White (#300).

This design is really easy and there are several alterations you can make to it. Last year, I used the same colors, except a lighter shade of orange, and no glitter (GASP). This year, I just had to include a glitter top coat.

To get the stripes I free handed it, but you can use tape if you want the lines to be perfectly straight. I started with the yellow base coat, left a little yellow showing at the bottom and painted orange over the rest, and did the same with the white. It’s literally that simple. Then I added the glitter over the whole thing. People have done candy corn gradient (which I promise I’ll do next year), or some people even shape their nail to make it look more like candy (sorry, but that’s one thing I won’t do lol). You can do whatever you want, as long as you like it.

That’s all for now. Sorry about the lack of blogposts, but seriously homework is taking over. I may have a blogpost up Wednesday, but until then BYYEEE

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’...

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...

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 ...
