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

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...

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...
