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

Firework Nails

Hello everyone! If you live in America then tomorrow is an exciting day for you, full of celebration. With that celebration comes amazing fireworks. So, without further a do here are my Independence Day firework nails. The polishes I used were Sally Hansen's "Co-balt Blue" (#320), "Red My Lips" (#470), "Silver Sweep" (#230), and "Grape Shifter" (#423), NYC's "French White Tip" (#134), and Blackheart Beauty's "Deep Sky Blue". I also used a nail dotter to create the fireworks. I started by painting the base colors on my nails, alternating the colors on each finger, and letting that dry. I chose to do my fireworks on the navy blue nails, but you can do them on the red or even on all the nails if you choose. For the fireworks I started with a dot for the center of the firework and added a red star there. Remember, the center of the firework does not have to be in the center of the nail (I only did that on one nai...

Green + Gold Accent Nail

Hello everyone! I wanted to do one more simple St. Patrick’s day nail design before I did the complex stuff. This is super easy and will last a while. Here’s what you’ll need. The polishes I used were Sally Hansen’s Insta-Dri shade “In Record Lime” (#50), Essie’s “Good As Gold” (#941), and my new Base + Top Coat by Revlon (#965). I also used gold glitter from SHANY's Nail Art Decoration Kit. First, I used one layer of the Revlon’s Base + Top coat to protect my nail. I am hoping that this will prevent any more staining that way my nails can grow out and be stain free before prom. Anyway, I painted all my nails, except the ring finger, with my green polish and sealed that off with a top coat. For my ring finger nail I painted two coats of my gold polish and let that dry (this is here just in case the glitter doesn’t reach all areas of the nail). Next, I painted on a layer of clear coat and quickly dipped my whole nail in the gold glitter . Brush off the excess glitter an...

Miracle Gel "Game of Chromes" Review

Hello everyone! I recently purchased another nail polish from Sally Hansen’s Miracle Gel collection called “Game of Chromes” (#510) and I thought I’d write a review for it today. Frist of all, the name is genius. Secondly, lol, the color is gorgeous. It is really shiny and when you move your fingers under the light it kind of looks like it switches between silver and gold, like a hologram or something. It is just a really nice color if you are looking for a solid nail design that isn't super boring. I also really liked the formula of the polish. It went on very smoothly (just like the others from the line did) and it was opaque with one coat. When I used the top coat (which you have to buy separately unless you get a kit and it’s expensive but whatever), it lasted a long time with no chips. It still isn’t chipped and I could keep it on, but I redo my nails every week lol. That is all for today, but you can check out my most recent YouTube video here, or look through...
