Day 23- Caviar nails.

Hi!!

Today's theme for the daily change is caviar nails, and these were HUGE a couple of months back, I haven't really seen much caviar nail art lately, but maybe it's just me. Anyway, I'm glad the challenge is bringing these back because I don't want to be stuck with the set of caviar beads I purchased.

Here's what I created.

The color I used is Can't find my czechbook from the Euro Centrale collection by OPI.

The caviar beads I used were from a set I purchased at Michael's.  It comes with 12 colors and I purchased little bottles were I can mix the caviar beads in.

I used striping tape to create the triangle on my middle finger.
I really like using these caviar beads, hopefully they start trending again, because I got some pretty cool ideas after doing this mani lol.

Okay guys, it's time for me to go. I am suuuuper tired, and have terrible knots on my shoulders due to stress. SO i'm going to try to go to bed and relax a little.
Thank you all for reading my posts, and don't forget to comment any suggestions or polishes you want to see on my blog!

Day 22-Neon nails!♥

Hi guys!!

Today I'm bringing you day 22nd of the Short and Sweet in texas daily challenge. Today's theme is Neon.
I don't really have any full size neon polishes, I plan on definitely stocking on lots of them during the summer.
For this manicure I used minis from a L.A color's set sold at forever 21, my mom got me it for Christmas and I haven't touched so I decided to pull them out.

This design was really easy to achieve. I started by putting two coats of Orly's Ridge Filler, this dries a pearl color which is a great base for neon polishes.
When the base is completely dry I make different colored and sized tiles on my nails. (Don't worry about making them straight, the black lines will make them appear straight.)

 When the "tiles" were dry I used black acrylic paint with a little bit of water to create the lines. I used a very thin and long nail art brush to make it very easy.
When the paint is dry I applied a coat of seche vite.
The formula of these polishes was incredibly good, since these are pretty cheap ones I thought it was going to be crappy but it wasn't! At all! They probably don't last long which I'm okay with because I take my nail polish off way too quickly anyways

If any of you guys has any reviews or has heard of any about Orly's Ridge filler I'd love to see your comments in the box! Don't forget to follow, and request any wanted manicures or polishes to be reviewed.

If there's an specific polish you want to see on Nail Polish Heaven comment below and i'll make sure to add the name of the polish on my wish list.

Goodnight everyone, kisses. ♥

~Late~ Day 20-Border Nails.

Hi guys!

Sorry, I couldn't post this on time, and I will have yesterdays and today's post later on tonight.

Day 20 was a border manicure and here is what I did:

This was quite hard to achieve for me, I got it a few times but it wasn't perfect so I kept re doing my nails, until this.
 I think I did pretty good this one time!

 The polish I used for this was Lapix Of Luxury by Essie.
The outline was done using blue acrylic paint.

 It helps a little when you place tape around your cuticles so you don't have to worry about getting messy.
I like painting my finger and barely get any on my nail so I can achieve a thin outline like this one.
To clean up I just removed the tape and used a tiny brush to clean up close to my cuticle.

I hope you guys liked this and stay tuned for today's posts that i'll have for you later!

Love you all♥

Day 18-Sugar Spun

Day 14-French with a Twist.

Hi Everyone!

Today's nail challenge was french with a twist, I had a couple ideas for this mani but this morning I was inspired by one of the girls I follow on Instagram.

Amy from Gotham Polish (@gothampolish on Instagram) had a picture of this mani using different colors. She used Zoya Blair and wet n wild Black creme. It was completely gorgeous and I instantly fell in love with the color combo. I'll make sure to add a picture of hers at the bottom.

The colors I used for the recreation of this mani were:

♥ OPI-Honk if you love OPI.
♥ Wet n Wild-Ebony hates Chris.

The matte top coat I use is Essie's Matte about you.

I hope you guys liked this mani & make sure to check out Amy's blog & Instagram, she has great stuff!

Here's the picture of her mani that I decided to recreate!

As always thank you so much for reading hope you enjoyed!

Day 13-Ruffian Mani

Hey guys!!

Today is my day off! so i'll be paiting my nails all day and getting the pictures ready for this week's challenges', that way I can just get home and the only thing left will be the writing which is pretty easy for me.

Okay, lets get to todays mani! The challenge for the day was Ruffian Nails (which I adore)
I've posted a Ruffian Mani post before and you can check that out here.

 The colors I used for this mani were:
 ♥ Zoya-Ziv.
 ♥ Wet n wild-Ebony hates Chris.

I honestly hated this polish lol, I ran out of my other black so I had to pull this out of my stash.
The brush was totally messed up and had the worst shape.
Aside from that everything was fine and it did dry really quickly.


Thank you all for reading! I appreciate each one of my readers!♥

Day 12-Fishtail Braid

Hi guys I'm back!

I've been once again not posting due to my job, closing all the time does drain my energy a lot.

Oh well, as you guys know, I'm doing my best to follow Short and Sweet in Texas' month challenge, and today's challenge was fishtail braid nails. Here's what I did

I really like how this mani looks and how easy it is, even though I could really use some practice, I want my lines to be a little more straight  :)

The colors I used for this were:
♥ China Glaze-For Audrey.
♥ China Glaze-Turned up Turquoise.
♥ China Glaze-First Mate.  

Hope you guys liked this and next on I'll have a review of a beautiful Hare polish!
Thanks for reading ♥♥.

Day 9-PolkaDots.

Hi guys!!

Tonight's challenge was polka dots, and I probably should've analyzed the days before, because I did polka dots for pink.. but oh well.

For polka dots I went for the classical black and white :)

For the white I used China Glaze's White on White, which is so far my favorite white polish to go to.
I use it for basically every single time I do nail art.
The black I'm using is Sally Hansen's Black out.

The polish I'm holding is an untried from the Cirque Du Soleil Collection, it's called whirled Away, and I only purchased it because they had a buy 2 China Glaze polishes for $11, and aside from It's a Trap-eeze!, I didn't know which one to get.

All the items used to create this were 2 polishes and a dotting tool.

Thanks for Reading lovelies ♥

Day 8-Zig Zag

Hello Everyone, I'm back!

Tonight I'll be posting all the swatches and nail art days I missed during the week.

So the nail challenge i'm following this month is from short and sweet in texas and it's totally amazing.
I'm so mad that I happened to find a new job right when I started doing this challenge, but oh well.
Today's challenge was zig zag and this is what I created:

The colors I used for this were:
♥Zoya-Nyx.
♥Essie-Muchi Muchi.
♥Essie-Lapiz of Luxury.

Day 6-Pink.

Hi guys!

First of all I want to start this post by apologizing for my lack of posting in the past days.
I've missed a few days of the nail art challenge, so i'm gonna explain the reasons behind it.
Like I said in my last post I just got a new job that requires lots of walking (which i'm not used to,yet),
so I've been getting home feeling way too hungry and tired to even paint my nails!
To top all of this off there's some health issues involved too. Severe migraines being one of them, the smell of the polish really makes them 100x worse and if you suffer from migraines you would probably agree.

I really want to build a good follower base and bring you guys new stuff everyday :)
So Today since I was sent home from work due to sickness I started feeling a little better and the first thing I did was paint my nails.

SO enough with that ladies, Let's talk polish!
Today's Challenge is the color Pink so I decided to go for an easy yet cute dotticure :)

The colors I used for this were Sinful Color's cotton candy and Sally Hansen's black out.

All I had to do for this mani was apply two coats of Cotton Candy and when my nails were completely dry I used a dotting tool to create the dots.

Apply top coat after and you're done!!
This is a really cute nail art idea that can be done in a short period of time.

Hope you guys like it and i'm trying my best to go back to posting daily!

Day 3-Yellow.

Hi guys!

Today I got a new job so I'll trying my best to continue doing the challenge
Today's color was a hard one, because of the same reasons as orange, I don't wear yellow polish by itself. I didn't own a yellow polish that wasn't neon until Easter when I purchased one at cvs lol.

So I decided to go for something springy and simple. This is what I ended up with :)

I did these cute little flowers only using a double ended dotting tool and three different polishes.
The blue polish used as the base is OPI's Can't find my Czechbook.

The polished used for the flower's petals is Mellow Yellow by Sally Hansen and the center of the flowers was made using Sinful Color's Let's meet.

All I did to create this design was apply a base color then dab four dots touching on the ends to create the petals, when dry I dabbed the center with a smaller dotting tool.
Dot as many flowers as you would like and combine any colors you want!!
This is a very simple and fast nail art design.
Hope you guys liked it and keep coming back for more posts :)

.xo.

Day 2-Orange.

Hi guys!
Today I;m bringing you day #2 of the 30 day challenge I'll be doing this month!

I honestly only own ONE orange polish and have NEVER used it.. haha.
I don't know why yellows and oranges are really weird colors to me when it comes to nail polish.
I've never found an orange polish i'm in love with or anything similar.

The polish I'll be using today I bought when I wasn't really into nail polish, I just liked the way the bottles looked & how this polish looked in it, so yeah.. not really a good reason to purchase a polish anymore haha.

But anyhow, Since I couldn't come up with any ideas on what to use this orange polish with I said to myself... When in doubt.. USE GLITTER! so this is what I ended up with :)

The color I used is called Orange Fix by Maybelline Color Show. This orange is not that bad I mean I love the color just not for nail polish haha, but the formula is great, the application was smooth, it did take me three coats to reach full opacity, this polish looks a little more neon IRL, and it dries matte.

The glitter i'm using you might have seen in my previous posts. Its called Dr. Franken by Polish Addict.
I love the way that polish goes perfect with every color. I'll probably wear this polish during the summer since it's a neon but I think I'll definitely wear it under some other glitters..

Hope you guys liked this & don't forget to check back tomorrow for a new post :)

30 Day Challenge: Day 1 - Red.

Hey Guys!

Like I said in my previous post I;m going to be doing my best to follow this 30 Day Challenge done by this girl, and she has a link were you can submit your posts, i'll be posting my there as well!!

Okay for today I was going to do strawberry nails but instead decided to use polishes that I don't really get to use other times so here's what i chose!

 I used OPI's The Spy who Loved me, this polish came out with the Skyfall collection.
The spy who loved me is a shimmery red crelly (creme-jelly) with some orange undertones.

To top off my nails I added two coats of the 18k real gold top coat by Sephora by OPI.

I really like the way these two colors look together and I don't really get to ever use my gold top coat so I'm glad I have a color I can just go-to whenever I want to wear this.

Here's a macro shot of the nail.. Love the way this red looks!

Hope you guys liked it and hope to have you all checking back every day for a new post :)

Godnight<3
