ABC Challenge T is for Triangle Nail Art with Orly Space Cadet

Happy Wednesday! I can't believe we are already on letter T of the ABC Challenge! Since I love triangle nail art in all forms, I knew I would have to do triangles this week. :) I started off with a base of Orly Space Cadet. Wow! This polish is beautiful! I can't believe I haven't shown it on the blog yet.

Then I added triangles at the tips using Orly Stone Cold (blue) and then smaller triangles with Orly Out of This World (purple). I feel like these went really well tomorrow. This was so so sparkly and I just kept wanting to stare at my nails haha!

ABC Challenge S is for Saran Wrap Nails

Hi everyone! This week we are on letter S of the ABC Challenge (where has the time gone?!) I've been really looking forward to this week so I could do Saran Wrap nails! I love these types of manis (probably more than is normal) so I was really excited to do another one.

I started off with a base of 2 coats of OPI My Vampire is Buff, a great cream/ nude. I'm seriously in love with this polish. I've worn it multiple times since I've gotten it so you know I like it.

I used Essie No Place Like Chrome (silver), China Glaze Fancy Pants (blue), Orly Melodious Utopia (yellow), and Sinful Colors Cotton Candy (pink) in that order. I painted a layer of the color over my dry base coat then used pieces of Saran wrap to lift off some of the color producing what you see below.

ABC Challenge R is for Rain Nails

Hi everyone! I'm happy I'm back. I took a week off to recover from my accident. It really gave me an opportunity to reflect (among other fun things...keep reading).Thank you all for your sweet words and comments! It was really touching to see them all :)

 Since we had a rainy day down here in SoCal yesterday, which is pretty strange for May, I decided to do some rain nail art! I'm not totally happy with how these turned out but I still want to share this with you all. :) I definitely need to work on my nail art skills.

Triangle Nail Art

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a lovely weekend :) Today I have some fun nail art to show you all. This was one of the first times that I have done some nail art and felt proud of it so I'm super excited for you all to see it! This was inspired by Whitney of Dressed Up Nails! I absolutely adore all her nail art and I always go on her blog or Tumblr for inspiration!

OPI Suzi's Hungary Again

Yep, this would me be posting twice in one day! I did a quick mani with OPI Suzi's Hungary Again from the Euro Centrale collection and added cute hearts to my ring and thumb with black. I thought it was cute and fun for an everyday mani.

My hears need a but of work but I still thought this was kinda cute! Suzi's Hungary Again was a pretty pink with shimmer but I feel like it is definitely dupable. Hope you guys like this!

Dotticure with OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls

Hi guys! Today I have some nail art I did a while back. I used a dotting tool for all of my dots (clearly I still need practice) This isn't as neat as I would have liked but I still wanted to post it on here anyway. Hope you guys like it!

Dotted Hearts! OPI Don't Pretzel My Buttons and Revlon Trendy

Happy Friday everyone! I don't know about you but I am so happy this week is over. This is going to be a quick post as I have to get back to studying for midterms (eek!) This mani started out as OPI Don't Pretzel My Buttons with Revlon Trendy as an accent nail but of course, I got bored of wearing it after a couple hours. I had no idea what I wanted to do with this mani but I loved the colors together so I searched around for inspiration when I found this at Dressed Up Nails. I discovered Whitney's blog only recently but I seriously adore everything she has done. It's amazing really. Anyway this is what I ended up with.

Essie Skirting the Issue

Happy Monday! I don't know about you  but I am not ready for the week to start! Hopefully some pretty nails will brighten up your morning.

So for this mani I started out with 3 coats of Essie Skirting the Issue from the Stylenomics collection from last fall. I really love this deep red jelly and was just planning on doing a nice, toned down mani for once.

Shiny! That's my camera's reflection on my nails.

Penguins!!! **Pic Heavy**

Happy Christmas Eve! Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season so far :) Sorry for my lack of posting these past couple days.... I have been really under the weather for the past couple of days. But to make up for it I have a nail art post today! I'm fairly new to nail art and I am just trying to get things figured out but I think this is pretty good for a newbie :).  I started off with 2 coats of Revlon Royal, a royal blue jelly that applied like a dream (there was still some VNL but not enough to bother me). Before I go on about penguins I have to say that I adore this so much. I have been looking for a royal blue for a long time and this one is amazing.

Revlon Emerald and Nail Art!

So today I have some Christmas nail art for you guys! I started off with a base of Revlon Top Speed Emerald.  I had originally just planned on swatching this but I liked it so much I decided to wear it and do some nail art. I then put Sally Hansen Cherry Red on my thumb.
