BB-8


beep beep boop boo boop beep beep boop

Umm anyway lol what’s up my peeps? I decided I wanted to do something star wars related even though the fad may be over (idk not for me) and it isn’t May the 4th, but whatever. BB-8 is like the coolest character in the newest movie, which if you haven’t seen it’s a must, so I decided to give it a shot.

The polishes I used were Revlon’s Base + Tope Coat, NYC’s “French White Tip” (#134), Sally Hansen’s Insta-Dri shade in “Black to Black” (#360), and Miracle Gel shades in “Electra-cute” (#300) and “Greyfitti” (#260). I also used nail dotters in various sizes.

I think the best idea when doing designs like this is just to have your reference picture and study it like homework that’s due in 30 minutes and you haven’t started it yet lol. I started with the big, black robot eye and continued off of that. It isn’t perfect because I’m not talented enough to make thin lines, but I did the best I could. I like using nail dotters instead of brushes because I think they are easier to control. I really have no tutorial-type commentary for this, just wing it basically. Just don’t add the top coat until it is COMPLETELY DRY so that the polish won’t drag.

I hope you guys like this design. I mean I know I’m a bit late, but actually this post was scheduled so it isn’t as late as you may think. If you have any design suggestions please let me know (please like I’m not kidding help). Adios :)

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 Swatches

Hey guys! I know this post is late, but now that school has started back up all I ever do is homework. It's ridiculous I don't do anything anymore (not that I ever did lol). Anyway enough excuses. I did these swatches forever ago, like October of last year, so my memory of these colors are a distant memory. However, I didn't have a post planned so I thought I would show you these. The deep red color is "Wine Stock" (#480). I really like this color and it would be a great holiday nail color. However, because I love red nail polish, especially deep red, I will wear this whenever I want. As every other Miracle Gel polish I own, this is a great polish. I believe this was only one coat as well which is super cool. The other color is "All Chalked Up" (#230) and it is a pastel purple color. This color is very light-hearted and cute looking which I appreciate when it is dreary outside and I get sad. This is also a great Easter color (apparently I l...
