OOTD: Black and Silver Nails

Hello everyone! My next nail art challenge is an outfit of the day inspired manicure. I tend to wear black and grey everyday so I decided to do an elegant black and silver design, inspired from Pinterest.

The polishes I used for this design were Sally Hansen’s Insta-Dri shades in “Black to Black” (#360) and “Silver Sweep” (#230), and Revlon’s Base + Top Coat (#965). I also used a stud from SHANY's Nail Art Decoration Kit and a nail dotter.

To start this design I applied a base coat; since the polish I used was black this step was extra extra important. Then I painted on the black polish on every nail except my ring finger nail. For my ring finger nail I used my silver polish. When my base color was dry I used a big nail dotter to add 3 silver dots towards the tips of the black nails. Using the smaller end of the nail dotter I added small dots around the larger dots. On the accent nail I added a black stud (which was originally gold but I painted it) and secured it with a clear polis. I added a clear coat to all my nails and my mani’s complete.

I hope you all like this design. I got the design from Pinterest, so here’s the original link. I’m going on a trip for 3 days starting on Monday so I’m going to try and film/edit the stuff for those days before hand, but if I don’t get them up I’m sorry; I’ll try my best. See you soon (hopefully). 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 bett

Ombre, Lily Manicure

Hey guys! I know it's been a while, but I have had ZERO clue of what designs to do and I've been doing solid colors all summer. However, last night I decided to practice making my own nail stickers and they turned out super well. I went with two types of lilies, white lilies and purple/white lilies, and decided to put them on a two-toned ombre. For the "stickers" I started with a piece of parchment paper and a clear polish. With the polish I painted 10 rectangles which I would be painting my designs over. I ended up trimming my stickers down to size later so don't worry if the base is a bit too big. After about a minute I began painting my designs over top of the rectangles making sure they weren't too big for my nail beds. I looked at a picture of a lily for reference and then just went for it. I started with the white petals, added the center color, added thin green lines with a nail art brush for stems in the center and finally the brown dots on the ste
