QuickPic - Mint Candy Apple

SO i attempted a quick zebra design with essie's mint candy apple. I didnt have time to take and official photo of the nails so i just to a quickpic from my Blackberry of the design I did. This color was given to me from a coworker in who i did a nail polish christmas trade with and one other person (whose color i will show tomorrow). Well i told her i would wear it today so i whipped up a quick design to do. At first i thought this color was a little to light for my skin to, but it turns out i really like this color. So here ya go - a quickpic design and a recommendation for you to buy essies- mint candy apple!

Sidenote: I completely dont like this design and i probably wore it just for my work shift and thats it! But i just really wanted to show the color even though their just quick blackberry pics...

Fireworks-esk Nails!

Okay so this is my attempt at a firework look, i thought i acheived it until my coworker told me it didnt look a thing like fireworks lol. So we are going to call it Firework-esk! But this was my first real nail art in a while so excuse it if it looks a little funky :)... but i didnt use any fancy polish so no need to list them, i just used a bunch of Kiss Art polishes to make wavy lines. As always click on the pictures for better views..

What i used for the look:

Updation Celebration lol (I'm cheesy)

Hello all my pretty people and happy new years to all.. let me start by saying a simple two week hiatus turned into like three months, so i am sorry about that! A lot has been going on mostly good and some bad, but busyness and unmotivated has definitely played a role in my lack of posting. Just some quick updates:

• I got a new job! so no longer i have been making skinny vanilla lattes and caramel machiattos, i work in a office setting which is right up my alley and has been a savior to my nails!..I currently work at capital one and have been since the end of october so yay for that...
• I meant to update my layout, but Laziness played a huge role in that lol, so your stuck with this one for a little while longer...
• my nails are much shorter now because they all broke like 3 weeks ago and they are growing back pretty fast so hopefully they will be at my normal length at the end of this month. (that reminds me to do a post on how i get my nails to grow)
• Lastly, i will be answering emails back tonight, so sorry about the delay.. usually im really quick at responding but the holiday season has been hectic! I haven't even read anyone else's blog since the beginning of november, so Danielle, Kai, Princess, and everyone else im so excited to see what i have missed! And also thanks everyone again for being patient with me and sending me emails concerning if im okay, I really appreciated it!

So i have been doing my nails all throughout my hiatus but i haven't really taken pictures of what i have designed. I did however get a couple of quick pics from my phone so here they are, a real post should be coming super SOON!

Random Designs: The Turquoise Tales

So today i was in a random state of mood, and usually when im feeling random i decide to do random designs... well this time i used Acrylic Paint brand Craft Smart Turquoise, Ocean Breeze and lime green. Usually when i do these types of design random people i see are like this look so hard, and im seriously like its knowing where to put random lines and accents like dots and glitter., oh and it takes patience also! Anywho, i was too lazy to do designs all all the fingers, so i just did them on two and the rest i did french tips with silver glitter and turquoise lines. So as always click on the pictures for a better and bigger view and hopefully you like..

Sidenote: Thanks so much for following me, i reached my 50th visitor yesterday, and i know thats not much compared to other peoples blog, but to me 50 is an AMAZING number of people who somewhat care about what i post and have to say and do. So thanks and honestly i appreciate everyone of you and keep on following yall! The more the merrier

NOTD: Pinstripes with a twist..

So my nail of the day is completely inspired by cynthia @ cynfulnails, except hers is absolutely amazing and mine is a under par rendition of her amazing work. Anywho this look was harder than i thought it was, because its hard to make multiple straight lines. Nonetheless i was okay with the look and left it on for a day, mostly because i chewed the polish of during my crazy hard calculus exam lol.. but i used China Glaze Pink Underground for the pink and art club black for the black lines and of course i used Kiss Arts silver glitter to give it a glitz look. So here is what resulted of my attempt at a pinstripe-esk look.

Sidenote: That starbucks cup had some good ole sweetness in it, Caramel White Mocha mmmmmm yummy! oh and as always click on the picture for a better look at the nails..

Tagged: 7 things Red

So the nicest nail blogger i know... Danielle at The Divas Polish tagged me to list 7 things in the color Red.... Im usually skeptic to do these type of things but i had a ball of fun doing this so here we go...

So from left to right i have:

• My favorite Coach messenger bag, that i use when im mostly on vacation
• Dark Red Mac Lipglass which is sooooo amazing
• Patent Leather Red Charlotte Ruesse pumps that hurts my feet so bad
• Red Sunglasses that i got at a Vintage Store
• My Aerosmith guitar hero guitar for the Wii
• China Glaze Ruby Pumps which is one of my favorite polishes ever
• Red/White scarf that i got on vacation while in Honduras..

I actually thought it would be hard to find red since i like more girly colors but it was quite easy. So now i want to see if these bloggers found it as easy as I did, your color is Hot Pink! so good luck and i cant wait to see what you find..

NOTD: Lines and Rhinestones of 3

So today i needed to do something real quick because i chipped my nail polish prior to this one. I decided to do a basic french tip with three basic black and hot pink lines, with three rhinestones on the three middle fingers, on october the 3rd. lol do you notice i was going for a theme! Theres no point of going into detail about this because i used no fancy brands or no fancy colors. but if you would like to know

• Seche Top and Base Coat (the base coat is ESSENTIAL for a good white tip
• Nail Basix - White Fever (its only a dollar and the best white by far for me, yeah better the OPI, China Glaze, Essie.. seriously dont waste your money, buy the cheap WHITE!)
• LA Color - Hot Pink (i bought it from forever 21, random i know)
• Art Club - Black
• Silver Rhinestone's from my trusty Rhinestone wheel

Sidenote: This look was only on for a day because i glopped the seche top coat on too thick so the polished peeled off. So FYI put the seche on in THIN LAYERS! lol...

and: Ive been getting some really sweet emails lately, and i responded to them but publicly i just really want to say thank you because it really does make my DAY! :)
