Really on a whim nail art.

I was so insanely bored today so I decided to paint the old nails. I wanted to do something different. I grabbed a roll of tape and I did this.

Colors used:
OPI base coat
OPI "Kiss Me On My Two Lips"
Milani "Blackest Black"
China Glaze "Fairy Dust"
And of course...
Seche Vite

I actually hate the way this came out. It's kinda messy and the amount of time it took me I expected it to look better. Oh well !

Kisses xoxo,

NOTD: fishtail accent nail

So I saw this tutorial on missjenfabulous' YouTube channel also known as 'polishandpearls' (her blog) and I adored it so I tried it out! I only did an accent nail because due to the nature of my job my nails chip almost instantly. I'd cry if I put in all that work for such a short-lived mani. But I really do love the way it came out. It's so easy and you need ZERO tools; just your nail polish! If you like this I say give it a go.

Colors used:
OPI Natural Nail Base Coat (as always)
OPI Lu-certainly Look Marvelous
OPI Blue My Mind
Essie Bikini So Teeny
Seche Vite top coat

NOTD: OPI Y'all Come Back Ya Hear?

Okay so tell me that just by looking at the bottle of this polish it'd be bright and vibrant and fun for summer. Think again. This is the most sheer OPI polish I have ever tried. I was digging through my collection trying to find something I don't use often and grabbed this. I'm pretty sure it's from the Texas collection from forever ago but I thought what the heck, why not. Because I had never even used it. I wish I hadn't. I had to use four coats. I repeat FOUR COATS. Considering it looks so opaque and fun in the bottle I was not impressed. Sigh...

NOTW Sparkles, sparkles and... more sparkles!

So, I have not painted my nails in probably almost a month. Guilty! I got this polish for Christmas in my stocking and from first glance it looks like this totally awesome opaque glitter that'll go on beautifully and you'll only need two coats.  Only in a perfect world! Wrong. I had to use four coats for this one, and it's still pretty sheer. I had already started so I just kept going due to laziness..

I have another glitter polish from the Muppets collection that I haven't tried yet, and I just bought "Save Me" from the Nicki Minaj collection today, so get ready for those! I'm really excited about the Nicki Minaj one, so I'll probably use that one first.

I guess these nails will just have to do for now. Usually even when my nails look this crappy, I still get compliments on them, so I'll take it!
