Halloween Nails

Hi, everyone!  I've got a spooky Halloween design... well, kind of spooky.  Spider webs!...

You probably can't tell, but I made a pathetic looking spider on my ring finger.  To do these, I painted my nails white and used a black polish with a small brush (striper) to paint the lines for the web.  And, if you want, you can make a spider on the ring finer with a dotting tool, but I would recommend not to because it really doesn't show up well.  Hope you all had a fun Halloween!

Gold Glitter Nails

Hi, everyone!  I have a new nail design!...

It's gold glitter crackle nails... Yes, the glitter is crackle, but it's kind of hard to tell.  It turned out really pretty, anyway.  The design is pretty self-explanatory - paint your nails a light blue and put crackle gold glitter polish on top.  Hope you guys liked this!

Nail Polish Haul!

Hi, everyone!  I'm back with another nail polish haul!  Yay!  It's pretty small, but I always like to keep you all updated :) One of the Walgreens near me was closing out on the Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure nail polish, so I had to get some.  They were really cheap and I already had one that I really liked, so I was excited...

Really pretty colors!  Unfortunately, they were already out of most of the colors - maybe that's a good thing... if they had more I might have went a little too crazy :).  So, the colors, (going left to right) Frutti Petutie (the camera didn't show how hot a pink this really was - it's a shocking hot pink!), Bittersweet, Midnight in NY (this has a hint of shimmer in it - super pretty and unique!), Pedal to the Metal, and I Pink I Can.  All of these are really unique, beautiful colors (with the exception of the plain pink to the right, but it's still really pretty).  I'm so excited to try these out.  They have amazing colors!  They also have a big brush, which is a plus to me because it makes the polish go on so smooth and easily.  They aren't closing out on these everywhere, I still see them at other walgreens and walmarts, so I definitely recommend checking these out.  Comment below what your favorite color is, and if you haven't seen my latest posts, I now have a follow gadget on my blog, so please check that out and follow my blog!

Magnetic Nails

Hi, everyone.  If you've been following my blog lately, you saw that I recently got my first magnetic nail polish with a gift card from my birthday.  I tried it out this weekend and it worked really well...

If you've never heard of magnetic nail polish before, it makes designs on your nails (mine was a star-like design) when you hold a magnet attached to the bottle over just-painted nails.  It turned out pretty good.  The lighting wasn't too good in this picture, but it looks better in real life.  Tell me how you like it!

Birthday haul!

It's time for my birthday haul!  Yay!  Just this past weekend my nail polish collection went from 50 to 67 - wow.  Creeping on 100...

First, I got this stack-able box (from Target) that fits my nail polishes perfectly!  It's the perfect height and has plenty of room... my 67 nail polishes fit in the bottom and there's still room to spare!  I think both containers could easily hold 200 nail polishes.  The only thing you have to be careful about - nail polishes are heavy, so you might want to hold the container from the bottom because if you hold it from the handle there might be a big mess :)  

Now, the nail polishes...

I went from having none to 10 China Glaze nail polishes over this past weekend.  I also added a few other new brands to my collection.  About half of these I bought with a birthday gift card and the other half were given to me.  Starting with China Glaze... (left to right) Exotic Encounters, Deviantly Daring, Jungle Queen,  Exceptionally Gifted, No Plain Jane, Man Hunt, Want My Bawdy, Secret Peri-wink-le, I'm Not Lion, and Jade-d (crackle).  From the bottom picture, (left to right) Essie - Play Date, Turquoise & Caicos, Sinful Colors Magnetic - Charge It Up, Nichole - Rainbow in the S-Kylie, Elf - (no color name on this one), Orly - Mysterious Curse, Finger Paints - It Baroque, and Sally Girl - (again, no color name).  I'm so excited to try all of these out... let me know in the comments which ones you like.

Birthday Nails!

Hi, everyone!  Well, this past weekend was my birthday - yay! - It was a lot of fun!  So, I made this party nail design...

I don't know if you can tell in this picture, but I made a faded pink french tip.  I used a base coat (as I always do) and painted the bottom 1/3 of my nails a light pink, wiping off the brush  before so there wasn't much polish on it, then I painted the tip of my nails with the same light pink but with more polish on the brush.  This makes a pretty faded effect on your nails.  After that, I used a sparkly polish for some confetti on my nails.  Really sparkly and fun!  Another blog post will be up soon on my birthday nail polish haul (probably the biggest and most fun haul ever).  Can't wait!
