Nails of the Day! Color Club Foil Metal Polish.

Hey Everyone! So I finally changed my mani today. :) I got this new set of foil metal polishes by Color Club, and this blue is so gorgeous! I topped it off with some stamping, a pretty simple mani this time, but it came out pretty good:

 With the flash shows the true color a little better, but without flash you can see the stamp design more clearly. :) That's it for today, I hope to have another awesome tutorial really soon! Thanks for stopping by! :)

Awesome Gradient Leopard Nail Design. :)

Hey everyone! So I decided to do a gradient leopard design tonight...kind of for Fall, so I picked some Fall-looking colors. :) I also filmed my very first tutorial on how to do this design!! Yay! :) 

 In the sunlight, shows the true colors much better:

My base was Zoya Jules sponged with Ulta Chic Peek, spots were Sinful Colors Innocent and Sephora Domestic Goddess...Glitter polish is Sinful Colors Smoking Hot...and I used Salley Hansen Black Out for detailing, but any black polish will work. :)

Here is the link to my tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ezm90ABLOck&feature=youtube_gdata


I actually like this mani a lot, so it will probably stay on this time for more than a day haha. ;)

Thanks for stopping by! :)

NOTD + More New Polish.

I told myself that I wasn't going to buy anymore polish, but I just happened to walk into my local Ross the other day, and found this wonderful collection:

 The colors looked so beautiful I just couldn't resist...and at only $8?? I had no choice but to get it. :)

So since I had a new collection to play with, I thought I'd do a new mani with one of these colors. I chose the New Bohemian shade, which was absolutely gorgeous on its own:

But after much thought I decided I wanted to add some stamping to it. I chose Sephora Go My Own Way to do the stamping with, and Sinful Colors Smoking Hot (holographic fine glitter polish) to go over the whole thing.

And this is what the final outcome looked like. :)

Without the flash seemed to show the awesome glitter a little better:

That's it for today, hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by! :)

Nails Of the Day. :)

So I tend to get bored of my nails rather quickly lately, I have so many ideas just floating in my head and I want to try all of them right now! Haha. New nails tonight...I did a gradient nail design with some freehand flowers on the ring fingers. All polish used is from Sinful Colors, left to right: Social Ladder, Pinky Glitter, and Pink.

 For my first try doing this type of design, it came out pretty good. :)

This was a fun one for me, can't wait to see what I try out next. :) Thanks for stopping by!

New Nails Today!

I decided to change my nails tonight, thought I'd start trying out some of my new goodies. :) I went with OPI DS Mystery and then stamped a design over that with Ulta Brownette.

 You can kind of see the purple in there...I just did them tonight so I didn't get any pics in the sunlight, I will try to do that tomorrow. Overall, this design turned out pretty cool, can't wait to try out more! :)

Awesome Deal On Stamping Plates!!

I have been dying to try Konad stamping for a while, I just never could bring myself to spend the $7.00 per image plate, and well I wanna have a good variety of designs to play around with. So I did some browsing and came across an awesome deal, 25 off-brand image plates on Amazon for around $10! It sounds kind of sketchy, but when I received them I did some comparing and they look almost exactly, if not identical to most of the Konad plates. A few of them looked a little off, like the full nail designs on a few of the plates were a bit small...but who cares, I still have tons of designs to experiment with. :)

Here's the link to these plates: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005HJTTM4

Mini Haul For This Week :)

So I told myself that I shouldn't buy anymore polish for a little while, at least until next week haha...but I just couldn't resist. I had some good discounts to use, so I took another trip to Ulta. :) I've been totally obsessed with browns and taupes lately! They all look so gorgeous to me so I chose a few for myself, I hope they look as good on as they do in the bottle! 

From left to right: Ulta Brownette, Ulta Taupe On A Rope, Zoya Jules, Zoya Codie, and OPI DS Mystery. Taupe On A Rope is a pretty taupe with gold shimmer, I tried to show that in the next pic:

Zoya Codie is a very nice brown from their 2011 Fall Collection Smoke...I am slowly getting into their fall line, and slowly falling in love with the colors. :) OPI DS Mystery is not a brown shade, it's more of a deep purple with gold sparkle...I have heard mixed comments about this shade, but I couldn't resist trying it out for myself! Here's a closer look at these two:

 I can't wait to try out all of these and create awesome new designs for the Fall! Thanks for stopping by! :)

One More Before the Day Is Done...

So here is the manicure I had on last week. I didn't really take a lot of pics since I wasn't really planning on starting a blog or anything haha. :) But I thought I'd share what I have since it was such an awesome water marble design! I used Sinful Colors Sugar Sugar and Rich In Heart:

I really love how subtle the design came out, and the colors together are perfect! Well that's it for today, thanks for stopping by! :)

First Post Ever! :)

Hey Everyone,

Welcome to my blog and thanks for checking it out! This is just a blog to share all of my nail designs and just nail colors that I use. I tend to change up my nails pretty often, so I figured why not just start a blog? Haha. I enjoy experimenting with different things, so I hope you enjoy what I have to share as well! :)

So today I'm going to post pics of the current design I am wearing. I just did this yesterday...it's Zoya Cynthia from the 2011 Fall Collection Smoke, and I tipped them with China Glaze's Crackle Glaze in Tarnished Gold. The Zoya is a very unique shade of blue...I really like it, you definitely see the true color in the sunlight. :)

Here are a couple more pics taken indoors with the flash:

I am definitely in love with this manicure! I've never done one like this before. Thanks for coming by, I should have a new post with a totally new manicure sometime this week. :)
