Snowy Christmas

Hello ladies!

I am excited to share my NOTD I call it "Snowy Christmas". It is just fitting to do some Christmas themed nail art right? Here in Bowie, MD we don't have snow yet but boy it is darn cold. I was actually imagining this design last night and I'm really glad it turn out the way I want and it is a bit of a challenge because I don't have nail art brushes so I managed to use a dotting tool creating the crooked Christmas Tree LOL! So what I did basically painted my nails with a base (Blue-ming Romance by Piggy Polish) and layered it with a glitter polish (Mrs. White by Nail Pattern Boldness) to achieve that snow globe effect, used dotting tool for snow and the Christmas Tree and lastly sponged a white cream polish for the snow and that's it, it was actually very simple and easy. I love how this design came out.

These are the colors I used to achieve the Snowy Christmas look

So what do you think guys? I hope you guys love my post today.

Mary Kay's Lava + Leopard Print

Hello lovelies!

I have another Mary Kay polish for you today still from the Limited Edition The Art of Nature Collection, this one is called Lava. 

Lava is amazingly unique a sheer duo-chrome it has copper, orange, pink and gold it almost looks metallic to me and this one really looks beautiful in real life. The formula is a little bit hard to work with tends to drag when not stroking the brush carefully but unlike Crushed Pearl this one dried a little fast, 2 coats were enough for me even though 3 would be more opaque. I actually didn't apply a top coat and it already looked shiny.

And then I did a free hand leopard print design using Lava as base color and colors I used for the prints were Chocolate Factory by Nanacoco and Chiffon by Jordana. Thanks to Sarah of Charlkboard Nails for such an inspiring tutorial but of course mine is not as beautiful as hers but I tried and I actually love it.

What do you think guys? I would love to hear your thoughts about my post today.

Stamping OK! Tips Tacky :(

Hello ladies!

Yayy it's Friday but same old same old for me, still a laid back day. How's your Friday so far? I've been stressed these last few days, I don't know what happen to my sleeping routine the other day I fell asleep at 4:00 am woke up at 7:00 am exhausted and I still want to go back to sleep but I couldn't. I just want to sleep at normal hours gosh! But anyway it'll probably be back to normal I hope. Moving on, I did this mani yesterday and it didn't turn out as I expected and I feel sad about it. I was actually thinking not to post this, but don't have anything to post so I give it a go. I did stamping and french tips and I wished I haven't added the tips it made my mani looks tacky.

I used:

Base Color - Plenty of Fish In The Sea by Spoiled
Stamp Color - Retro Green by Kleancolor
Free Hand French Tips - Pastel Yellow by Kleancolor
Stamp Design - MASH Plate #21

I still need more practice with the stamping, sometimes it looks crooked after transferring. Have a great weekend guys and see you next time.

NOTD: Lucky Clouds

Hey lovelies!

How are you guys doing today? I'm so glad I finally pushed myself to do my nails, I'm just so addicted to games lately -____- sigh! they surely are. Before I came up with my mani today I thought of what colors to choose first and to my surprise I never thought it would turn out what I didn't expect it to be.

I called it lucky clouds because it turned out like a St. Patrick's nail art theme, and this is actually my first attempt of clouds design. This is also one of the trendy nail art out there and the first free hand cloud design I came across with was nailside's and her clouds are perfect. So let me show my first free hand cloud design.

I used:

Base Color - Permission To Proceed by Spoiled

Accent Nail Base Color - Metallic 4 Life by OPI over Correction Tape by Spoiled

Clouds - Did It On Em by OPI, Correction Tape by Spoiled and Permission To Proceed by Spoiled

Top Coat - Seche Vite

Let me know your thoughts with my nails today guys, I would love to hear it. 'Til next time guys.

Fishtail Braids Attempt

Hey guys!

I haven't been so productive with my posts lately, our internet service have been acting up and it just gets on my nerves. So it has been a movie time almost everyday. So what I have for today is my first attempt of fishtail braids that is so trendy nowadays.

I used:

Base Color - Kleancolor Metallic Pink
Braids - OPI Pink Friday
              Kleancolor Metallic Pink
              Spoiled Correction Tape

It's a little bit decent, the lines are not straight at all did it with free hand. So I'm a little bit happy about it.

Girls off topic, I have to share this movie that we've seen the other day. If you're husband and boyfriend haven't seen this movie yet, I recommend that you should mention this to them. This is so far the best action packed movie I've seen in years it's an Indonesian action martial arts movie called "The Raid" the American title is The Raid: Redemption. I'm sure they're going to love this movie and if you're into brutal action movies as well, this movie is for you.

Until next time lovelies :)

Pink Friday + Frenzy

everyone, I'm back! I was suppose to post this yesterday but I wasn't feeling well and I'm glad I feel better today. I really like the weather since yesterday it's cooler than the usual I love summer but I don't like when it gets really hot. Anyway my mani that I did yesterday is a free-hand funky french mani.

What I used:

Base Color - OPI Pink Friday
French Tip - Iriscolors Frenzy

OPI Pink Friday & Iriscolors Frenzy

I really love Pink Friday the color is so sweet I love that it is creme. OPI has a great formula, I'm not a fan of the brush though since I don't have a flat nail bed or I guess I need more practice using their wide flat brush. And for Frenzy I love the pink and blue glitter so cute but I don't like this brand at all because the base is so thick and it has a horrible smell, I'm not going to buy this brand ever again.

Well I might wear this mani for two days or more it depends, sometimes I get lazy doing my nails. What do you think of the mani? I would love to hear from you and thanks for reading my post, until next time. Love y'all!
