Valentine's Day Nails 2016


Hey everybody! So if you are like me, you love holiday themed nail designs. For Valentine’s Day this year I was going to use baby pink, but the polish I had was like 5 million years old and I’m like NOPE NEVER MIND. So… lol I picked a medium pink and decided to do a different design on each nail.


The polishes I used were Revlon’s Base + Top Coat, Sally Hansen’s Insta-Dri shade in “Presto Pink” (#15), Miracle Gel shade in “Wine Stock” (#480), and Formula X’s “Love Chemistry”. I also used a nail dotter for the designs and a nail gem thing from a nail art kit I have (I don’t remember what it’s called if you want to know search through blogposts sorz).

On my ring finger I did my accent nail with a gold glitter and the rest of my nails had the pink base color. To match the gold accent nail I had a nail art piece that was a gold heart, so I decided to put that on my thumb near the cuticle. As you can see, some pink polish got on the heart, but oh well lol. On my index and pinky fingers I did some small hearts in the dark red color. To do that I used a nail dotter and basically made two dots and connected them together to form a heart. If you don’t have a nail dotter you can always use a toothpick or a bobby pin. Lastly, on my middle finger I did a big heart in the <3 style, also using a nail dotter. I added a top coat and viola.

I hope you guys like this design and if you do make sure to follow my blog for more holiday themed things. I’m thinking of starting a series where I do designs for short nails because I need to start keeping mine shorter now that I’m attempting to learn a string instrument. P.s. I uploaded a video of me playing the ukulele and doing some terrible singing on my YouTube channel so it you want to look at that go for it. Bye :)

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 ...
