its all almost here!

So obviously I haven't been updating as much as I should. I know, I know. I'm a crappy blogger and I'm sorry. :[

but... I have been quite busy, trying to find 2 bridesmaids dresses, because the style was discontinued and I had to call all the way to Georgia to find one. Plus, getting stuff ready for school in like, 5 days!!! I'm sooo excited!

Well. I do have SOME designs to share with you, AND the news that almost ALL of my nail mail is here!!!! Last thing I'm waiting on is my dotting tools. Got everything else!

Heres the designs, and i'll also post some that I aspire to do eventually.. hahaha I'll try & post a link to my pinterest page, because I have a whole entire board dedicated just to nails. :]

For this design, I used Nicole- Wear Something Spar-Kylie for the pink glitter, and Essie- Sand Tropez for the nude. I liked this design, and I'd like to try it with maybe some neons, and see how it goes. If you'd like a tutorial on how to do this, I'll be happy to post one. Just comment and let me know!


This was my red and gold chevron pattern. I used Essie- Enuff is Enuff and Essie- Good as Gold. I loved loved loved this design, and probably wouldn't have taken it off as quickly as I did if it hadn't of chipped. Damn pool water. :[

This didn't turn out the way I wanted. I used China Glaze- For Audrey. I put a simple silver rhinestone on the thumb, and I used a stamper I bought in the mall to do the bow. I don't know why, but for some reason, this didn't look the way it did in my head. Probably won't do this exact design again...

This design was probably one of the hardest for me, for whatever reason. I used Sally Hansen- Hard to Get and China Glaze- Flip Flop Fantasy. It looked great with those two colors, but I did NOT like the way it turned out. Too many uneven lines and such. But thats probably just my own OCD issue. hahaha

This is an ombre I did dedicated to... You guessed it. Fifty Shades of Grey. I am so addicted to this series, its completely ridiculous. The one on my index finger really isn't as dark as it looks. Its a franken polish i made using white & black polish I had laying around. But I actually really liked this manicure. It was really different, and I loved the ombre effect. The black is Wet n Wild Black Creme, the franken polish is mine, the first grey is Pure Ice Kiss Me Here, then NYC Sidewalkers, and then LA COLORS in white. 

This was just a plain polish job using an accent nail. Its Essie Go Overboard, and Orly Shine on Crazy Diamond on my accent nail. I loved the blue. It was GORGEOUS. but... sadly, they chipped in the pool. :[




Now designs I wanna try... 
I love this. But I'm worried I won't be able to get the tape right... Maybe I'll try it with my striping tape..!

I will definitely be trying this one as soon as my dotting tools come in!!!

Again, waiting for the dotting tools!

I won't do this one on myself, but I'll definitely do it on my best friend. She's obsessed.

I just like the colors together...

I. Am. Obsessed. With. Cupcakes.
nuff said.

Maybe I'll try this for my first day of school... Our dress code requires us to wear only black, white, and grey. :)

I'm a fan of peacock. But I don't know if I have the patience for this.

Love the one on the bottom right. Other ones are too busy for me.

I love the mustaches, watermelon, and giraffe prints. They're adorable.

You can't see this very well, but its a strand of christmas lights that goes across all your nails. You use string as the cord and hand paint the lights. SO CUTE.

This is another chevron design, just different colors. I kind of like this.

Love the idea of using craft scissors to cut the design in the tape.

I can imagine this would take forever... But it'd be cute as an accent nail for valentines day maybe.

I love this, but just my luck, I'd get words like "death" or "kill" or "rape"... hahaha

This reminds me of Tiffany's. So of course, I love it.

Tape designs. Hate the index finger though... Thats just weird. Only half polished. The there ones are cute.


Here is the link to my nails board on pinterest! If you see a design you'd like to see me try, just let me know!


Well, I'm going to paint my nails now. My plain polish chipped earlier, so now I'm going to use my new nail art brushes to try a watermelon accent nail. :] I'll let you know how it goes!
Happy polishing!
