Striped Nails: Nail Art November!

Hey everyone! Sally Hansen has been doing #NailArtNov on Instagram and the 18^th was glitter. I decided to go with a subtle glitter design and take a Pinterest look (which I’ve always wanted to do). Before I start, yes, I do have a wound on my pinky finger; I cut it on a sharp piece of metal under a desk (school is so safe). Anyway, here’s how I did this look.

The colors I used for this design were Sally Hansen’s Xtreme Wear shade in “Black Out” (#28), Triple Shine shade in “Pearly Whites” (#300), Wet n wild shade in “Tough Girl” (#34206), and Candie’s shade “Concrete Jungle” (#2191).

I started with the lighter gray, since two stripes of that color show. Then I painted, free hand of course, a black stripe, covering the tip of my nail, and a dark gray stripe in the middle of my nail. Over top of the first light gray stripe I added a coat of glitter. Finally, I added a top coat for protection and it was done! Not that hard, right?

I had pinned this look a long time ago and I’ve always wanted to do it and Nail Art November was the perfect excuse. I hope you liked this look (because I did lol). The next 5 weeks are going to be crazy; I have a Thanksgiving nail look coming up and then 8 nails designs leading up to Christmas. I’m so excited for this! I hope you guys are ready for some awesome nail looks. 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’...

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...
