NOTD: Black yellow and pink edition!

Okay so this week i decided to go with my black tips again, but there is a disclaimer about these designs, well technically 2 disclaimers

• I can not find my flat head brush for french tips, so im stuck free handing it until i can either find it, or find one thats comparable to it because michaels doe not sell it anymore (i think?) so this is why my french tips look so crooked lol
• I took these pictures 3 days after i did the design so one of the rhinestones fell off and the polish is a little chipped, sorry Peeps!

Anyways im out of my black polish im in love with (Walmarts Pure Ice) s i had to use this crappy one i have shown below, which takes like multiple coats. Then i used this Art Deco nail art brush i got from forever 21, and lastly I used yellow craft paint for the dots, UGHHH i love me so craft paint lol! Its cheaper than nail polish and you can mix them easier than nail polish to find the perfect color...

Sidenote: Im a victim of seche vite, when it gets to low its useless.. But i found a way around it and i will do a quick blog soon to show you had to add some uses out of that Seche bottle the becomes worthless!! And as always click the picture to see a better photo of the nails

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..

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! :)

Watermelon-esk Mani!

Well hello Ladies and Gents, i have been so busy working before school starts, so i can have enough money to shop and live comfortably. But in between work days i managed to whip up a quick nail design for a day because as you know i could never wear this to work.. WHICH let me go on a tangent real quick..

So i go to work with my clear top coat/nail hardener because we cant wear nail polish or acrylics... and i am looking around and there is 3 other employees wear acrylic french tips (which may i add, one of the girls needed a serious fill-in) anywho, im like WTF? so tonight i slapped on white tips because thats not fair to me! And if someone says something to me im going KAH-RAY-ZEE because one of the acrylic tips belong to a manager. .. O well that was my tyrate for the week lol...

Okay back to the nails, well i have seen many versions of the "watermelon" nails, and here is my interpretation of it. I wanted to do something a little less obvious of it being a watermelon, just something you can be like "oh those kind look like little watermelons"...Anywho here are my watermelon-esk nails...

Sidenote: I have no idea the name of the colors but i will post an update with them when I get a chance. As always click on the picture to get a better look at the nails.

Recycle Nails and a Crappy Job

Okay, sorry for the long time no post but I got a job and have been in orientation all freaking week. So im back now and I have quite a few things to catch you up on, such as the fact that I finally found a job. Its definately not glamorous and its definately not the hilton, but i need some type of income until I can find a better job. Well this job came with the biggest flaw ever that I almost quit on the spot about and the only way I can tell you what it is, is to tell you the way i was told...

So it goes

Boss: Wow your nails are really cute!

Me: Thanks I do them my self and they are all my real nails

Boss: Oh okay good because I would have felt bad if you just paid t get them done..

Me: Why?

Boss: Because you are not to allowed to wear nail polish on duty!

Me: Picking my jaw off the floor :(

Can you believe that, Im like its Starbucks not the Army.. SO i attend to find a new job real soon, one that lets me express myself in the form of my polish. But anyways if anyone flies into Tampa Airport come visit me and my boring nails lol..

SO part two of my news, Im officialy cutting my nails, I never wear my nails long and now that they are, it is so acquired. I mean I cant hold a pen right, i cant type right, its just a mess! So i think im going to go to a nail salon and have them cut and square them because im too nervous to do it.

So before I show the nails i wore that dreadful day, i want to explain the color. I wanted to use a polish I havent used before so i closed my eyes and stuck my hand into the box and picked out China Glaze's Recycle. I personally think it is a hideous color but to each its own, so I knew it would make a ugly tip color so i painted the whole nail this chalky gray. In order to distract from the color i did designs on every other nail. Anyways here was my nail for the day:

Sidenote: Sorry for the rambling post, forgive me its late and i had a loooooong day. I will be back sunday back and better than ever lol. Once again forgive my poor exhausted post and click on the pictures to get a better view.

Rainbow-ish Weekend Nails

Okay sorry for the delay in posting but this weekend has been hectic, any who I decided to do something a little more daring for my nails for the weekend. I have seen many rainbow tips being done but i decided to do an all opi rainbow-ish look, or what my cousin calls them gay pride nails. For the rainbow-ish effect I used OPI's That's Berry Daring, Atomic Orange, Need Sunglasses?, Gargantuan Green Grape, and Purple With A Purpose. So quick notes about these polishes: Need Sunglasses? and Purple With A Purpose definitely needs two to three coats to get to bottle color.

But anywho here is my nails for the weekend...

Pink Patchwork NOTD

So today I was in a "artsy" type mood and decided to do a patchwork type nail. I apologize ahead of time that is a little sloppy, but i am in a rush this morning to head to my little cousins basketball game all the way cross town. In this look i used OPI's That's Berry Daring, Pure Ice's Love, and Sally Hansen's White On, and for the gold line I used Kiss's Glitter Gold. This polish will probably be on just for today because tomorrow I plan to be a polish swatching fool. But anywho I have to go so here is the NOTD!

What I Used To Complete The Look:

Side Note: Clicking on the pictures to enlarge them gives you better details on how the nail looks, and i find out officially on monday if i got the job so remember Red I didnt, and Green I did lol

Interview Nails

So today I had an interview at the hilton (which went REALLY great) and I thought it would be inappropriate to show up with purple polka dot nails. So I had to change my nails to white french tip in which i am still just cringing thinking about it. White tips are probably my least favorite thing to do because they are just BLAH boring, but to spice it up a bit i put a gold line under it. But even though i hate white tips I actually loved how these turned out and will probably rock them for another day. Anywho here are two quick snippets of the nails before my interview, ill let you know if I got the job tomorrow. Red nails will mean no, and green nails will mean yes! lol

Im feeling SPONTANEOUS...

For my nail of the Nail of the Day, i chose to use China Glaze's Spontaneous. Its a cream nail polish which i found a little difficult to use, but if you have a good top coat it will help smooth out any little ridges. So onto the design... I did all the fingers except for the two middle ones with a french tip and use Kiss's Silver Glitter as a accent line. In the middle i "attempted" to do a flower and a half, which i am really RUSTY on working with flowers. I put a lime green rhinestone in the middle of the flowers for a little pizzaz!

What I used to complete the look:

P.s. I am oddly obsessed with rhinestone wheels
