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...

Green + Gold Accent Nail

Hello everyone! I wanted to do one more simple St. Patrick’s day nail design before I did the complex stuff. This is super easy and will last a while. Here’s what you’ll need. The polishes I used were Sally Hansen’s Insta-Dri shade “In Record Lime” (#50), Essie’s “Good As Gold” (#941), and my new Base + Top Coat by Revlon (#965). I also used gold glitter from SHANY's Nail Art Decoration Kit. First, I used one layer of the Revlon’s Base + Top coat to protect my nail. I am hoping that this will prevent any more staining that way my nails can grow out and be stain free before prom. Anyway, I painted all my nails, except the ring finger, with my green polish and sealed that off with a top coat. For my ring finger nail I painted two coats of my gold polish and let that dry (this is here just in case the glitter doesn’t reach all areas of the nail). Next, I painted on a layer of clear coat and quickly dipped my whole nail in the gold glitter . Brush off the excess glitter an...

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...
