My new favorite pink?

Hi guys!

I was trolling the isles at the drugstore and came across the new Nicole by OPI shades for 2013. I had seen swatches for Still Into Pink and I did like it but it was love once I actually put it on! This bright pink has the slightest bit of shimmer running through it. Wouldn't this shade be awesome for a pedicure? Gawd I love this.

I then decided to break out OPI's Lights Of Emerald City and add it on top just because I had been meaning to give this glitter a try. The consistency was not the best... very thick and goopy which made it difficult to get the glitter to go where it need to.

Besos!

White hot!

Hey loves!

Let's kick off the new week with some hot nails shall we? I did this manicure after seeing it online but I cannot remember where! If you're reading this and you can tell me who came up with this look, please comment below so I can give credit where credit is due.

I love this manicure because it's edgy and would look great with any color combination. I used Essie Blanc and Maybelline Color Show in Bold Gold and chose a nice print for the accent fingers (I think the original was done using a flower print). I settled on the flame design and it worked out great in my opinion. The thumb was left white just for fun.

Is this manicure hot or what?

Because drugstore polishes need love too!

Hey loves!

I find myself gravitating towards the same brands when it comes to nail polish so in an effort to shake things up I decided to break out some drugstore brand polishes I've been neglecting. The two shades I'll be showing you today are both from Revlon's Brilliant Strength collection. The first being Enthrall, a beautiful and shimmery olive color and the second Intrigue a shimmering cornflower blue.

These are the only shades I own from this collection but not for long! The formula on these was great and they dry pretty quickly too which is always a plus.

Still love me some Hello Kitty!

Hi guys,

Just wanna show you my new Hello Kitty nails. I was in the mood for something bright and fun and what's more fun than HK nails? I think these are great for the summer time!

Nicki Minaj collection reloaded

Happy Monday guys!

I hope everyone got to enjoy the long weekend. I know I sure did. I tried to come up with and Easter manicure for you guys but I was just so uninspired... everything feels so done when it comes to themed manicures like that. So after a few failed attempts I decided I'd just give it another go next year.

Today I'll be revisiting some of the polishes from OPI's Nicki Minaj collection. I picked Did It On 'Em, Fly and Pink Friday for the base and then just went crazy with black, white and pink acrylic paint. I had no I idea what the end result would be when I first started but I must say I'm quite happy with it.

I love me some watermarbling!

Hey guys!

I have not done any watermarbling in OVER a year (I know... shame on me) so I decided to give this technique another go just recently but only as an accent finger. I figured it's better to start small and get myself in back into the habit before going for a full mani. Watermarbling is quite messy which can be discouraging for some (ie: me) so make sure to cover up the surface you'll be working on and to have all you supplies close.

The base color is SH Insta-Dri in Snappy Sorbet. I had actually put down a coat of red polish on the accent finger but it got covered up by my design in the end. The watermarble design was created using my base color along with SH Insta-Dri in Lightening and Essie Blanc.

I love this! I'm so happy it wasn't a hot mess and the clean up was a breeze! This is definitely making me want to try again with different color combinations.

So have you ever watermarbled? If so what's your favorite color combo?

That's my jam! Music and nail polish? It don't get much better than this. I'm still lusting after a few other shades from OPI's Mariah Carey collection... What you see below is three coats. I'm thinking I might wanna layer this over some black next time.
