Hey guys! It's been so long since I've posted! I think the last time I posted any nail art was around Halloween. My nails have been in such horrible condition these last few months that I honestly didn't want to post at all, but I've been trying to take extra good care of them so I can start getting back to posting regularly. <br />
<br />
The nails I'm wearing today are featuring OPI Make Him Mine from the Mariah Carey Holiday Collection. This was one of the six Liquid Sand shades that were in the collection. This color is a pinkish nude shade with tiny glitters throughout it.<br />
<br />
I needed about three thin coats of this for it to be completely opaque. The formula on all of the Liquid Sand polishes in this collection were really good. They weren't thick, they applied evenly and dried nicely. <br />

<br />
On my accent nail I added some rhinestones of all different sizes. I haven't used rhinestones for anything in a while, so I really like how this tuned out. Pink and sparkly haha this one seems nice for Valentines Day...<br />

Happy Halloween guys! Here's a cool mix I did with blood, eyeballs, and bones.<br />
For these nails I used my favorite red nail polish, <b>Butter London Pillar Box Red</b>, <b>Essie Blanc</b>, and <b>Essence Black is Back</b>. The bones and eyeball were done with a a dotting tool, detailer brush and blue, white, and black acrylic paints. <br />
<br />
What are you guys gonna be for Halloween? I think I'm just going to wear some generic animal ear costume to work haha.<br />

San Francisco by OPI brings street chic style with West Coast flair to nails and toes for Fall/Winter 2013. This new collection features a palette ranging from sky and sea-colored hues of blues and gray to reds, burgundies and browns inspired by some of the city’s most iconic elements – Chinatown, the Golden Gate bridge and the Embarcadero. This fall mélange is mixed with texture, seen in three new Liquid Sand™ nail lacquers in earthy hues of taupe, blue and gray: It’s All San Andreas’s Fault, Wharf! Wharf! Wharf! and Alcatraz…Rocks. Liquid Sand lacquers dry to a textured, matte finish, infused with reflective sparkle. <br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“To me, the women of San Francisco and the city itself really epitomize today’s multifaceted beauty consumer,” explains Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director. “San Francisco offers a European flair with distinct West Coast attributes. These elements inspired a collection of urban chic nail lacquer shades, thanks to the sophisticated combination of high fashion and eclectic street style.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“With twelve colors ranging from moody grays and blues to garnet and ruby jewel tones, these lacquers are designed to accessorize fall’s hottest looks, from military details to winter whites,” continues Weiss-Fischmann. “On fall runways, models were seen wearing luxurious textures from head to toe. The three new Liquid Sand nail lacquers incorporate the texture trend through nails, with rich matte finishes in colors to complement the season’s fashion.”</blockquote>

<br /> The formula on all of the colors in this collection was really great, they applied smooth and even and they dried really fast. I used two coats for all of these, other than First Date at the Golden Gate which needed three coats. All of these are shown without top coat. I really really liked all of these, but my only complaint would be that the creme shades seemed to chip faster than the shimmer/duochromes after I'd had them on for a few days. <br />
<br />
When I was swatching these, some of them really surprised me. I didn't really like a couple of these when I saw them in the bottle,(Embarca-Dare Ya!,<b> </b>I Knead Sour-Dough) but when I saw them on the nails in the sunlight they were really beautiful. <br />
<br />
My favorites from this collection were Alcatraz...Rocks, Peace & Love & OPI, A-Piers to Be Tan, In the Cable Car-Pool Lane, Muir Muir on the Wall, and Keeping Suzi at Bay.<br />

Hey guys, what's up? Today I have some neon color blocked nails to share. Is color blocking still in? Probably not, but oh well, I'll still rock it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-9fJN1b22c6BHFsLGSDDrMMIED3HKEhp1SMTAhVUpTy45mEXIClElM8ieoRWy-Hsw-nOcBep7LAkHmcLd-8G9oLjbuJr3zPC_LG1STJopdxcoViVJNNGDQR74pRLjyatlZ6_uI4r-UCM/s1600/neonstripe1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="588" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-9fJN1b22c6BHFsLGSDDrMMIED3HKEhp1SMTAhVUpTy45mEXIClElM8ieoRWy-Hsw-nOcBep7LAkHmcLd-8G9oLjbuJr3zPC_LG1STJopdxcoViVJNNGDQR74pRLjyatlZ6_uI4r-UCM/s640/neonstripe1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
For these nails I started with a base coat of white. I used two coats of Essie Blanc. Then, with a striper brush, I used some black acrylic paint to do the black stripes on all of my nails. After I did the black stripes I went in and added the gray stripes to all of my nails using Zoya Dove and China Glaze Recycle. I let all of that dry for about a minute and I added my neon stripes using Sinful Colors Neon Melon.<br />
<br />
I wasn't really going for a pattern here, I just went with what I thought looked nice and tried not to put two of the same color next to each other. Next time I do this I'll probably add more, skinnier, black stripes.<br />
<br />
Like always, I finished this off with one coat of Seche Vite.<br />
<br />

<br />
If you guessed China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy, you were right! This super bright neon coral is one of my favorite colors for summer. Scratch that, this is one of my favorite polish colors period. <br />
<br />

<br />
I used two coats of this and one coat of Seche because neons dry matte.<br />
<br />
I'm surprised that my camera was able to capture the color so well after it completely freaked out while taking the fist couple of pictures like the one below.<br />

Hey guys! Happy (almost) 4th of July! These are the nails I'll be wearing tomorrow.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The colors I used for these nails were Essie Blanc, Ciaté Power Dressing, and OPI Red Hot Gift. I used a stiper brush and OPI Red Hot Gift for the stripes on the accent nail, I would've used tape for nicer lines, but me and tape just don't work very well together. I freehanded the little star inside the halfmoon with some white acrylic paint and a small striper brush.<br />
<br />

<br />
I did wait a while to put top coat on these because I didn't want the red and white to smear, but this caused the blue to bubble really bad. Oh well.<br />

<br />
Hey guys! Today's post features some neon and holographic glitter, it's like a rave on my nails.<br />
<br />
This orange is Color Club Wham! Pow! and the name is fitting because this color is crazy bright! I needed about three coats and I really should've put this over white, but I didn't. The formula on this one was really meh too, it's kinda thick and it dried before it could even out. I guess the end result is worth it though, because it's so bright and pretty.<br />
<br />
The gold glitter I'm wearing is Stun from Floss Gloss. This is a holographic gold glitter and wow, this is awesome. I love everything about this nail polish. I only needed two coats of this and the formula was really great for being a glitter.<br />
<br />
<br />
The picture below shows the holo-y-ness of the glitter. Super pretty, right?<br />

These cone shaped studs come in a set of 10 and come in both gold and silver. These turned out to be much bigger than I'd expected them to be, but they're still pretty cool and they didn't get in the way as much as I thought they would.<br />
<br />
I started out with two coats of nail polish and then top coat and let that dry before I attached these. When I did attach them, I put a tiny amount of nail glue on the bottom of the stud and a dab of the glue on my nail. I just picked these up with my fingers becuase they were big enough, and I placed them where I wanted them and let the glue dry.<br />
<br />
When the glue was dry, I used my top coat again to go around th base of the studs to smooth out any bumps that the glue left and to secure the studs more. <br />

<br />
The studs stayed on my nail for about two cays before they started to come off, but I think that was my fault for not using enought glue to secure them. They didn't really get in the way either, but they made my finger feel really heavy because they're metal.<br />

<br />
Do you guys like Daft Punk? I do, and If you're like me and you've been waiting for this album for 7 years you're probably excited too. I did these nails because their new album, Random Access Memories, came out today. I've been listening to the leak for about a week and I think it's pretty awesome!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
For these nails I started with two coats of a regular black, I used <b>Essence Black is Back</b>, on each finger. For the logo on my thumb, I used white acrylic paint. The glitters on my index and middle fingers are <b>Thomas</b> and <b>Guy-Manuel</b> from <b>Daring Digits </b>Daft Punk set that I don't think is available anymore. Thomas (on my index finger) is a silver shimmer with silver hexagons, large red squares, and small black and red squares. Guy-Manuel is a gold base with multicolored square glitters and gold hexagons. <br />

<br />
The glitter on my ring and index fingers is just some loose black glitter that I poured over a coat of wet black polish. I used that because I think it looks like those really cool YSL sequin suits that they're wearing now. <br />
<br />
I used two coats of top coat on these just to be sure that everything was nice and smooth.

The Walmart near my house finally carries these Hard Candy nail colors so I picked up Black Tie Optional the last time I was there. This color is freaking awesome. I love it soooo much. This polish has all different sizes of hexagon glitters in black and white and black bar glitters.<br />

<br />
I did one coat of this over Ciaté Big Yellow Taxi. I did
use two coats of top coat over this because I didn't want the bar
glitters to poke out and snag on things like they normally do. I feel
like this glitter could work over almost anything. You could put this
over poop and it would look nice.<br />
<br />
This was a bit difficult to remove, but it's glitter so I kind of expected that.<br />

<br />
Hey guys! I have really been slacking on posting and I'm sorry about that. Here is one of the OPI Liquid Sand nail colors from the Mariah Carey collection. This one is The Impossible, it's a jelly based, bright reddish hot pink with lots of glitter and stars.<br />
<br />
I needed three coats for this to be completely even, but I didn't mind because there's no need for a top coat with these nail colors if you want to keep the sandy texture. The texture of these actually wasn't as rough as I'd imagined either and this nail polish was surprisingly easy to get off.<br />

This set has a ton of different shapes including hearts, stars, small dots, medium dots, circles, squares, teardrops, and ovals. Some of these are in both silver and gold and there are even some black dots.<br />
The only two in this set I had trouble with were the hearts and the stars. They're usable, but they're too big for any nails but my thumbs. Other than that, these are easy to use and they're aluminum plated so thy could be reused if you want them to be.<br />

I didn't count these, but there are enough studs here to do a lot of different things. The website says that this has approximately 300 all together.<br />

For my nails I stuck with only the gold studs and placed them over<b> Essie Turquoise & Caicos</b>. I wasn't really following any pattern, I just placed them where I thought they looked good.<br />
<br />
I used an orange wood stick dipped in a tiny amount of clear polish to pick these up and place them. I finished this off with a thin amount of top coat over the studs to avoid any bubbles.<br />

Hey guys! I'm sure you've been hearing about those big Hard Candy nail polish displays at some Walmart stores. Only some Walmart stores have these displays and the one closest to my house didn't, but my awesome cousin picked this up for me at hers (thanks Michelle!)<br />

This color is a true turquoise blue with tons of teeny tiny black and
silver (they look white because they're in a pigmented base) hex
glitters. When I first opened the bottle I really thought this was going
to be a nightmare to apply, much to my surprise the formula was good! I
only had to use two coats for complete opacity, this went on smooth and I only needed one coat of top coat!<br />

Hey guys! Here is are some gradient nails that I did that I think look really pretty for spring!<br />
<br />
I used two Essie colors, but I don't know the name of them because the labels are missing. I do think that the pink/coral one close to my cuticles is California Coral, though. I did this gradient starting with two coats of the color that I think is called California Coral and then I used a damp makeup sponge to dab the other color about halfway down each nail.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
And I don't know if you can tell, but I changed my lighting set up around a little bit before I took these pictures and they came out looking really good besides the fact that the light made my hands look so white! haha <br />

<br />
Here are the nails that I'll probably still have on for Easter, Pastel Plaid! Yep, I took the easy way out and just did some stripes, but it still really like these.<br />
<br />
For these nails I started with a base of <b>Shallow from Colour Gossip</b>. I used the longest striper that I have for these. I started with the yellow, <b>Sinful Colors Unicorn</b>. The pink stripes are <b>OPI Pink Friday</b>, the purple stripes are <b>Sinful Colors Candy Coated</b>. Last but not least, the blue stripes are <b>Sinful Colors Sugar Rush</b>. I used two coats of top coat on these so they wouldn't feel lumpy.<br />
<br />
I hope you guys have a happy Easter!<br />

<br />
Hey guys! Here is a nail polish that has been in my untried for a while now, <b>Zoya Pippa</b>. I got this one when Zoya had one of those deals going on on their website, I think it was the BOGO one.<br />
<br />
This is the perfect taxi cab yellow, and although this color is really beautiful it was extremely hard to work with. This was really thick and goopy and somehow managed to be really patchy. I even tried thinning this out and that didn't even help! To add to that, I used 4 coats of this and, after applying top coat, this wouldn't even out on some of my fingers.<br />
<br />
Here's the best part, this started chipping THE VERY NEXT DAY! Yeah, I was disappointed with this. I seem to have really bad luck with Zoya. I have a couple colors from them that I love (Avery, Aurora) and a couple that I really hate (this one, Frida) It's like they can't get a good formula on some of their colors. *sigh*<br />

So, I was honestly debating whether or not I should post these because a couple of these fingers got ruined by my top coat and my camera decided it wanted to be a jerk and not take pictures correctly. Obviously I decided to post them because I still think they were really pretty.<br />
<br />
I used <a href="http://chelseasgetnailed.com/tutorial-doc-martens-floral-inspired/" target="_blank">this tutorial from Chelsea's Get Nailed</a> to do these roses. It was pretty easy, and I think my roses came out good. These ones on my thumb came out the best of all of them.<br />

I started with a base of two coats of Butter London Bossy Boots, I freaking love this pistachio green. The roses were Lime Crime Parfait Day, Crema De Limon, Essie Fiesta and white. The leaves were done with Essie Sew Psyched and mixed with some white. Then, I ruined this with one coat of Seche Vite...Zoe - zoendouthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11322694045004357341noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3121806587801476740.post-49116980779835403162013-03-13T14:49:00.000-07:002013-03-13T14:49:13.382-07:00Candy Drips<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hey guys! Here I am using these Sinful Colors nail polishes again! I can't stop using them, they're so perfect for spring.<br />
<br />
For these drippy nails I used the colors <b>Sugar Rush</b> and <b>Candy Coated</b>. I started with two coats of Sugar Rush and then I used a detail brush to paint on some drips with Candy Coated. I let that dry and then I used some white acrylic paint to add some little accents on the drips, I think it makes them look really cute and cartooney. <br />
<br />
I finished this off with a coat of Seche Vite, it messed up a couple of these nails with its shrinkage. I have a love/hate relationship with that stupid top coat.

<br />
Look! Another super colorful post! This one is more fun than the one I posted earlier this week because this one has cute little balloons and clouds. These nails were inspired by a couple of Little Twin Stars wallpapers I saw while I was browsing for some nail inspiration.<br />
<br />
I used a ton of colors for these, I'll start with the base colors I used. The light pink on all of my fingers, except my ring finger, is <b>Ciaté Cutie Pie</b>. The base color on my ring finger is <b>Lime Crime Milky Ways.</b> The colors that were used for the rainbow are <b>Sinful Colors Sugar Rush, Unicorn, and Sugar N Spice</b>. Those same three colors and <b>Sinful Colors Candy Coated </b>were used for the tiny stars and for the little balloons.<br />

<b>Brown</b> and <b>white acrylic paint</b> were used for the clouds and the tiny details on and around the balloons. The little balloons were a pain in the butt to paint because they are so tiny, but I'm really happy with the heart one. The yellow balloon was supposed to be a moon, but it got messed up when I put Seche Vite on.<br />
<br />
In the end, I love these and I'm really happy with how they turned out! <br />

Hey guys! I have been seeing so many people I follow on instagram posting pictures of the spring collection that <b>Sinful Colors</b> recently released, and I just had to go and get all of them. Pastels are perfect for spring and I'm sure I'll be using these a lot, plus I only paid $1 for each of these because there was a coupon in the Walgreens ad last week (I think this coupon expired, sorry guys.) There are eight colors in this collection and here I'm using five, one for each finger!<br />
<br />
Starting with the thumb, <b>Cotton Candy, Orange Cream, Unicorn, Sugar Rush, and Candy Coated</b>. I did three coats of each of these for them to be fully opaque. Cotton Candy, Orange Cream, and Candy Coated have a slight shimmer to them that is barely noticeable and it hardly showed up in the pictures. <br />
<br />

I know many people probably wouldn't wear rainbow fingers because it
seems slightly childish, but I think it's a great way to do something
fun to your nails without an artistic aspect that people often have
trouble with. All you really have to know how to do is apply polish! Go crazy with colors!<br />

If you're ever in doubt about what to do to your nails, do a glitter gradient. They're really hard to mess up and they look awesome about 95% of the time.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfmFSlCqFE53gMr6hhJVYx1LhQzfN3ZSngqbQ5FCrvDFIsZRJ9lwg4Os8IAfbPPFnHZSAqy4c0WzqH7fdXACDL6tXlPcJZLmtCWh3NVV8aqVTAgcmFlJb_2rWtJdJpTWI81BiGesVxfTI/s1600/glowstargradient2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="590" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfmFSlCqFE53gMr6hhJVYx1LhQzfN3ZSngqbQ5FCrvDFIsZRJ9lwg4Os8IAfbPPFnHZSAqy4c0WzqH7fdXACDL6tXlPcJZLmtCWh3NVV8aqVTAgcmFlJb_2rWtJdJpTWI81BiGesVxfTI/s640/glowstargradient2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Here I'm using Floss Gloss Glowstar and the glitter is a Color Club, I think this one is called Beyond The Mistletoe. I got this from Ross and it doesn't have a name on it, so I'm not sure if that's what it's called.<br />
<br />
I started this out with two coats of Glowstar. This color is a very bright pastel green color. At a quick glace this color could look white, but I can assure you it's not. This was completely opaque in two coats and it dried really fast. I'm really loving this color and it's perfect for spring, so you'll be seeing more from me using this color.<br />
<br />
Then, I did a thin coat of the glitter about halfway down each nail and let that dry slightly. When I went back around for the second coat of glitter, I concentrated the glitter more at the tips. I finished this off with, not one, but two coats of top coat to smooth this one out.<br />

Hey guys! Here's another one of the Zoya nail colors that I got with my 3 free. This one is Storm and this came out with the Ornate Collection. This color is a black with tiny holo glitter specks throughout it. This one has less holo than Aurora, and I was slightly disappointed about that, but it's still really pretty.<br />
<br />
I also added some Kleancolor Silver Star on my accent nail. I fished the stars out and placed them with an orange wood stick. Then, I finished this with one coat of Seche Vite. <br />

Happy Valentines Day everyone! I did this heart look using <b>Essie Leading Lady</b> and <b>Essie Beyond Cozy</b>. I started with two coats of Leading Lady and then I used a detail brush to add a cute silver heart with Beyond Cozy.<br />
<br />
I love these colors a lot and I really was just looking for an excuse to use them again, but Leading Lady is so freaking hard to photograph. This second picture shows the color better, but you have to see this color in real life to see just how beautiful is really is.<br />

<br />
So I know I've posted a look with this Nails Inc Leather effect polish and studs recently, but I really love it and I had to use it again. I know that textures are really big this spring and I can totally see why. They dry fast and give you and awesome edgy look with no need for any top coat. That was actually why I used this again, I was feeling lazy and this nail polish gives an awesome effect with minimal effort.<br />
<br />
I did change the studs up from last time. The arrangement this time was just copied off of one of the fingers on the box. I also think the pictures I took look better than last time. It's really hard to take a decent picture of this nail polish.<br />

Hey guys! I'm sure you noticed the two pictures in this post an how different they look. Both of these pictures were taken using the same camera (hard to believe, I know) but the top was taken with a daylight bulb in a regular desk lamp and the bottom with flash from my camera. I'm still trying out different angles, so the picture I'm using now might not be the best, but I still think it looks much better than with the flash setting.<br />
<br />
Onto the nails, I really wanted to do a Valentines Day themed gradient to start off February. I originally was going to add hearts to this, but I really liked how the gradient looked by itself so I left it alone. The colors I used for this were Essie Blanc and Lime Crime Parfait Day. Parfait Day is a beautiful pastel pink with a slightly blue undertone. The formula on this polish is awesome and great was great for use in this gradient.<br />
<br />
