Penguin Nails


 Hey everyone! December has begun and that means festive nail designs in preparation for the holidays. To start it off I have a penguin nail design for you guys!

The colors I used for this design were Sally Hansen’s Xtreme Wear shades in “Black Out” (#28) and “White On” (#300) and Sally Hansen’s Triple Shine shade in “Play Koi” (#240). You will also need a dotting tool for this design. 

I started off with a black base on all my nails. Then, using the white polish, I covered 2/3rds of my nail, rounding off the top; this represents the white penguin body. Finally, I used the dotting tool to make black eyes and an orange beak. I also added orange feet by the tips of my nails for an extra touch. Finish it off with a top coat (tip: wait till the polish is fully dry even though I am impatient and never do and it smears) to protect the design. 

Hope you liked my penguin nails! The link I got my inspiration from will be below. I have 7 more holiday designs to go, so I’ll see you on soon! BYYEEE

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...

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 ...
