FML.

Hey everyone. I hope you guys are enjoying your weekend. I'm feeling a little better today and was planning to start catching up on the blog, I was so excited that I was finally going to write and *poof* my laptop goes black and now the hard drive might be fried. I am going to take it to the shop tomorrow after work and hopefully we can get it back on track :) o am going to be receiving my hospital bill for these past days, so I'm really upset that on top of that ill have to pay to fix my laptop. UGH. Well rent over
Hope you guys keep being so understanding. Love the fact that I haven't lost one follower since I got sick. I truly appreciate that.

alright, good night my polish junkies. Xo.

:(

Guys! I know you all must think I'm the biggest liar for saying that I'd have all my posts by yesterday.. Well it sucks to say that I got worse. This morning I went to the hospital and the doctor said I have gastroenteritis so lots of rest is required I barely have any energy to leave my bed.

Hope you all understand, it sucks because there's nothing I can do about it but rest and take meds:/
Ill come back with new and better posts though! Love you so much!

Sorry everyone..

Hi guys.. I'm typing this from my phone really quick to let my beautiful readers know that I will be catching up on the daily challenge posts & a swatch of a beautiful indie I received in the mail today. The reason for my lack of posts is a terrible flu I'm getting on top the 11 hour shifts I've been working. My head has been hurting terribly and nail polish smell doesn't really help.
My bones are in so much pain even my fingers hurt. I don't even feel like leaving my bed. I hope you guys can comprehend and continue to follow my blog. I promise ill catch up with everything and will have some great surprises to compensate my time gone! Love you all and will talk to you all tomorrow!


Thanks again for your support

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!

Best Blog Award!!

Hi everyone!!

Today i'd like to thank the girl at http://nailsnoob.blogspot.com/ For nominating me to such great award!

Thank you so much lovely!! It means a lot to me to be nominated!

RULES: 

- Answer the 11 questions asked you by the blog who nominated you

- Nominate up to 20 other bloggers with less then 200 followers

- Ask them your 11 questions

Nailsnoob Questions:

 

1. Which are the comments and compliments that you usually get for your nail art? Or which was the weirdest one? Well I get a few comments on my Instagram mostly, I've never had any weird comments, expect for this one time a girl suggested I should start watermaking my pictures because somebody had stolen one of them. Yes, I know picture theft is a HUGE problem in the nail community specially on instagram, but I never thought somebody would actually take one of MY pictures since I don't consider myself good enough lol.

2. What's the best that your nail art blogging experience has brought to you? Honestly, the best has been the very reason why I started this, doing my nails and writing helped me a lot to get through quitting cigarettes, painting my nails is a great way for me to relax and not get anxious about them.

 

3. Can you name your absolute favorite nail art guru and your absolute favorite nail art blogger?

My favorite guru has to be Kayla at http://nailpolishgalore.com/ and my favorite blogger is http://www.the-crumpet.com/

4. How did nail art and lacquer mania doing and blogging change your habits, perceptions, behaviours, relations with the ones around you, point of view, in your real life? haha you really thought these through huh?, Doing nail art has first of all removed my habit of biting my nails and cuticles, I still feel like doing it sometimes, but then I just tell myself that if I do, I'll just cut my nails off, then i'll have to wait for them to be long and beautiful again. lol.  It's helped me be a little better at saving money, ( it all goes on nail polish at the end but hey!)

 

5. Has nail art laquer mania given to you some brand new bonding time with someone you knew before, or some new real life firendships? No, not really.

6. Do you happen to approach or have you ever met someone just for a polish related reason in your real life? Tell an acdote if you have one.. haha not really either.

7. What's the nail art design or lacquer that represents you better as a person, and why? (please link it or make one) Oh I have a perfect one for this!! The polish goes by the name "Balck Tie Parade" and it's made by my #1 favorite indie polish maker, Polish Addict! I think this polish represents a lot who I am because it's dark yet colorful. I've gone through some hard stuff through life so far, yet I still keep that *shine* to put it that way in my life. I get sad a lot, but I can also be really fun and easy to be around.

 

8. Do you have some other interests, hobbies, passions and blog about them? I don't blog about anything asides nail polish but I like doing other stuff like walks/jogs/runs with my puppy, going to the dog park, reading, and play some video games :}

9. What kind of nail art or laquer lover do you think you are? and what kind of blogger? aka what's your nail art and blogging style? I think I'd classify myself as a compulsive lacquer lover! and my blog is pretty new, but it's all going to be basically swatches,reviews and tutorials. You guys should tell me what kind of blogger you think I classify as and post it on the comment box below!

10. Why did you start your nail blog and what are your hopes for it's future? I started a nail blog because I wanted to share a full length review on polishes, I wanted to share tutorials with more people without worrying about annoying my IG followers with HUGE captions. I also really want my writing skills to be at it's best for my college experience, and I'm sure while I attend school again my writing will start progressing more and more with time.

I hope to have people that actually sit there and read my posts not caring if it's short or huge, lol. People that appreciate nail art as much as I do, and appreciate artist that don't really get to be discovered.

11. What makes you like/love someone else's nail blog? bigger and glamour-perfect, or smaller and heartfel playful? And what instead you don't like in a nail blog? It doesn't really matter to me how "pimped out" your blog is, or how colorful, all I care about is the content of your posts, if you are a fun writer and keep me entertained then I'm going to like you. I also take into consideration bloggers that actually take the time to write back to their followers, answer their questions, etc.

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. ♥
