Mermaid Lagoon from Funky Fingers

  
     I'm not sure how many of you guys live near a FiveBelow but, if you do, you need to get there right now and check to see if they have any bottles of this magical nail polish left. If you've never heard of it before, FiveBelow is kind of like a dollar store, but everything is priced at $5 or lower.

    The ones near my house always have Funky Fingers brand nail polish (I think this brand is only sold at FiveBelow) and they are always $2 each of 3 for $5 and if you've seen them, you know why I always buy 3.
 
     This one is called Mermaid Lagoon and it had to be mine. It's a glitter nail polish that consists of teal colored micro glitter, along with purple medium sized circles, and large silver hexes. It's super sparkly and it reminds me of the illustrations in the book "The Rainbow Fish"

A+    This nail polish is a new favorite for me, I did use about three coats in these pictures but I probably needed four.

If you do go to Fivebelow and they have this, do yourself a favor and buy Sand and Stilettos too. It's an amazing glitter that is a really close dupe to Color Club Sugar Plum Fairy.
    
   

Birthday Disco

      Oh My Gosh. It feels like I haven't updated in months, when in reality it's only been about a week! Anyway, Here is my birthday mani! My birthday is actually tomorrow, the 8th, but I thought I'd go ahead and post this today. Candles and glitter, such a good combination.

    This has a total of 18 candles because tomorrow I'll be 18!

    Get ready for a long list of colors

The glitter is Color Club Sugar Plum Fairy

The black and white I used are generic ebay stripers

The blue and purple are from a Color Club set that I got at Ross, the set was called All About Color but I think it was labeled wrong and unfortunately the colors don't have names

The yellow is Zoya Pippa

The pink is Kleancolor Barbie Pink

The green is Kleancolor Bikini Green

Annnnnd I think that covers all of the colors I used. Whew...

Sugar Plum Fairy

      Hey guys! I'm really sorry for the lack of updates recently. I've had nail block, like writers block, I keep doing my nails and then hating how the come out and I end up taking them off an hour later. 

     Since I've been getting so frustrated, I decided I'd just use my favorite glitter, Color Club Sugar Plum Fairy. It's a multicolored holo glitter. It's pretty amazing looking. That's why I included a ton of pictures with different angles to show the amazingness.

     This was about 2.5 coats. I say 2.5 because I did two coats and then fixed parts that looked like they had nail showing.

My First Post!

     Hey everyone! Wow my first post on my new blog! So I've decided that I'm going to start posting all of my nail art here and I'll start with this one I did about a month ago. This is a gradient I did using Essence A Lovely Secret and Essence You Belong To Me with MAC 3D silver on my ring finger.

     I did this by using one of the triangle makeup sponges that you can buy almost anywhere. I always wet the sponge first and then squeeze out most of the water, leaving it slightly damp. Then I put the color that I want closer to my cuticle on just like I normally would do my nails but I stop in the middle and finish with the blue on my tips. they after I've done that to all of my fingers, I paint some of the blue onto the sponge and try to dab the colors together. If I need more purple, I dab more purple. Then I finish with a top coat and let it dry. :)
