Catching Up On Some Nail Art

Hey Guys! I have done a lot of nail art that I havent shown you so here it is....



I used a frankened base that coincidentally is the same color as my shirt (realized that after I finished the mani. I used Sally Hansen Emerald City, Orly Prince Charming, and Petites Night for the camo blobs. I topped it off with 2 coats of Matte About You.

 This was just Orly Prince Charming for the cookies, Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen in Black for the outline, the word "cookies", and the chocolate chips, and a Stripe Rite nail art striper in White for the milk.
 I used a base of Sinful Colors Snow Me White. I used a Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen in Black for the dotted lines and the scissors.

*sigh of relief* Phewww! Thats done! This was all in the span of just 3 days! WOW!!! I am currently wearing the camo.

I'm An M57 Animal !!!

Yes, I got the Konad M57 plate. It is probably the most famous plate. It is the one with the fishnet, zebra print, cheetah print, etc... Here, I'm wearing the zebra and the cheetah ones:

I used the konad special blue polish. I am no Konad Master but I didn't do terribly. I need to clean it up some more but I am quite pleased.

Quick Franken Post

Most of you here like to see my NOTDs. This one was just a quick mani that I did.... Nothing special. I used an old franken so I don't know the ingredients but it probably consisted of about 1 part blue 2 parts yellow and 2 parts white. Here it is:
Here it is... A nice jade green. This is an unnamed franken. If you have any suggestions, post them in the comments. I really like this color and it only makes my fingers look slightly red! Thats all for today..........

SPRING BREAK !

Ive been so tired.... Its about time ! Two weeks of pure fun and enjoyment....(hopefully) anyways, in celebration.... I did Spring Break Nails! YES! Behold....


I used 2 coats of China Glaze Dorothy Who? as the base. I love DW? because its a beautiful medium glass fleck blue jelly that is opaque in only 2 coats! I used a Stripe Rite white striper for the letters. I'm surprised I got the whole thing there. I am proud for writing "Spring Break" on just four fingers! I am quite pleased with this mani and I hope it lasts long...

Follow My Blog!

Just a short post.... I'm sorry but its kinda pathetic that I am the only one who follows my blog! I can't have a giveaway unless I have followers!

Too Short To Be French??

Yeah.... I wanted to try a funky french. It looks kinda weird because the tips are on my nail bed because I have NO tips!! What a sad, sad story. But it doesn't look terrible. Not when your working with awesome colors! Wanna see what I mean? Of course you do!


So I used Anise Greyfully Yours as the base. Cheesy name, awesome color! It is opaque in ONE SMOOTH COAT! I used Sally Hansen Celeb City for the tips. Look at how it sparkles! Finally, to add a little pizazz, I added polka dots with Delias Golden Sun on my thumbs and ring fingers. It just adds a finishing touch. So what do you think? Not that bad? Me Neither!

Gaga for Glitter!

Yes... I am going to Lady Gaga tonight. I am wearing a quite glittery manicure.... I'm not sure if it is up to Gaga's crazy standards, but I tried! I will report back on the concert later... I am going with some friends and I am really excited! Heres my mani:

I used Sinful Colors Dream On as a base. It did not capture well at all! It is a nice once coat matte pink leaning purple neon. Its perfect. It is topped with once coat of Sinful Colors Frenzy. It is purple and light blue glitter in a clear base. It also did not capture well..... I think I'm in love though! It's awesome and even somewhat Gaga-esque.

BH Cosmetics 120 Palette 1st Edition

Here it is.... The most amazing palette ever!
 Hehe sorry for the reflection.... It's sooooo shiny!
 The back to show you that this is the first edition (the brightest of the 3)
 The front palette. This is what it looks like when you first open it!
 Look at the speckled ones! Some are shimmery and some are matte! I don't have swatches of those because I couldn't capture them but they are so pretty!
 After you pull a flap on the side, you lift up the first palette and it reveals the second. You can put the first one up at the top. Here I have some swatches for you... they are all WITHOUT primer!
 look at these mattes! They are so pigmented (especially the red). It is so hard to find red eyeshadow! this palette has this red, an orangey red, and a red shimmer! Plus all of these other beauties *dies*
 look at the neons! Even the neon yellow is pigmented like crazy.... maybe the most pigmented of all! Now for the shimmers!
 look at how beautiful! Again, pigmented but the shimmer really is crazy!!! Again, how many times can you find a pigmented, shimmery yellow?
Even the shimmery white shows up incredibly well! Theres that shimmery red too! 

Overall, INCREDIBLE! The only words I have to say are AHFJEGGSHMWKUWGSHEFJW! AND IT WAS ONLY 25 DOLLARS! I didn't think you would want to pay $150 for a mac palette when you get this! *dies from sheer awesomeness*

buy it! buy it NOWWWWWW!
