It's so hot today I think I'm probably gonna die . Oh well I guess it's summer right . Well I hope you all are having a wonderful day . Now whenever I learn to do something new on my nails , my mom decided she wants it on her nails too . So she prepped her nails herself and came to me with her colors , lol . We used China Glaze White On White , NYC Purple Rain , and China Glaze Purple Panic . I got the mesh fabrics and proceeded to get the snakeskin art done . I personally don't like the colors she chose , but she loves them ! She asked for a green rhinestone so that's what I gave her . She's been looking at her nails every since . Well enjoy !
ps ; The tutorial for this is coming soon ! (:

Happy Monday ! (: I just woke up & I'm loving it ! Either way I have an exciting post for you . I finally tried the snake print that I learned watching
LOVE4NAILS on youtube . This was really easy and I all need was 4 colors and two sizes of mesh fabrics . I'm not really going to explain how to do it right now because it's so easy or you can just watch the video . But if you want a tutorial then please let me know . I used OPI San Tan Tonio , OPI Samoan Sand , Brown acrylic paint , and Black acrylic paint to achieve this design. This was one of my favorite designs so far because it's so easy but looks so hard . I haven't been able to stop looking at my hands . Well enjoy !

It's a beautiful Saturday where I am . What about you ladies ? (: I just have quick haul for you here . While I was in Jersey I found these polishes and Ross for only $2.99. There were only 4 colors in this INTENSE package . All the colors are very pigmented and have some kind of shimmer in them . They don't have any names but I guess the colors would be self explanatory . They're put in these cute little bottles and they're quite discreet . Want to see any swatches ? Just let me know . The lighting in these pictures are sort of odd because I'm in a hotel with very little light . Welll with out further ado here they are . Enjoy !

I can't believe it's Thursday already . I've just been laying around doing nothing all week . I like the feeling of just wasting days away ! (: I should probably start doing more manis since I'm doing nothing . But either way I hope you ladies are having a great Thursday too ! First off my nails have officially grown out all the ridges from the acrylics I got about a year ago . YAY ! They're all the same size now , healthy , and hard . But today's design is kind of but easy , I don't know how to describe it but if you do want a tutorial just let me know . It's just a little abstract design using blues , lines and dots . Nothing big. I used China Glaze for Audrey , OPI Suzi Says Feng Shui , and just some no name glitter blue for the background. Next I did some lines and then dots in Black and White acrylic paints . After doing so I just dabbed a bit of Wet 'N Wild Hallucination in random places on the nail to just give a little shine in the light. Each nail is sort of different but they all work together. I hope you Enjoy !

I can't believe that I just woke up a 1:54PM on a week day . Welcome to summer life me , lol . Anyway hope all my love followers or anyone stopping by is having a beautiful day . This is going to be a relatively short post because this one is just that simple . My eldest cousin has such nice nails . I just wish I had them . A nice long nail bed and a long free edge . It's perfect ! (: When she saw my other cousins nails she's decided she wanted some sort of zebra print . Well that's easy enough so all I did was paint her nail is in two coats of China Glaze Dorothy Who ? Except I only did this to 3/4 of the nail leaving out where her lunula would be. Then I used black acrylic paint with a thin brush to underline the space that I left open . Then for the rest of the fingers I just added zebra stripes & voila ! All done . I hope you enjoy !

Happy Sunday ladies . I hope your day is going well as always . So long story short I was running out of posts to do because I haven't been doing my nails and I just showed you a big haul so I didn't want to bore you . So on Wednesday we spent a little time over at my aunts play games on the Wii and what not , just having fun you know . I decided to propose to both of my older cousins that I do their nails . They both said yes , thank gosh because I really needed some manis until I started back doing my nails . So today's mani is on the youngest of my two older cousins . On Tuesday will be the other eldest cousin's mani . Anyway today's cousin's favorite color is purple . Instead of just picking only purple she ended up picking China Glaze Coconut Kiss , China Glaze Purple Panic In Neon , and just a miscellaneous glitter blue . All I did was paint her nails in one coat of China Glaze White On White then just blended all of the colors on the nails . Then I painted one layer of Wet 'N Wild Hallucination to give it a little bling . Next I used one of my smaller dotting tools to do a cheetah design on all of the fingers but the ring fingers . On the ring fingers I just painted zebra stripes . To do both of these designs I just used Black acrylic paint . Well that's all . Enjoy !
PS : I don't have as many polishes as most of you ladies but I'm reaching 50 polishes . Anyone wanna see a stash post ?

TGIF ! My first full week out of school ! YES ! It feels so good to be out & free for a little while . Anyway I wanna start this post off by saying thank you all for following me & thank you for all your nice comments . I never figured anyone would take my blog seriously because I'm only 16 & there are so many other experienced bloggers out there . But I was wrong & I really appreciate you all .I've officially reached 50 followers ! (: I really wish that I could have giveaway but I don't currently have a job or any extra polishes to giveaway . So hopefully by 75 or 100 I will be able to at least hold a giveaway for all my US followers . So basically this is just a quick thank you to you all (:
On to the mani and pedi .I was in Jersey on Monday & then in Connecticut/Massachusetts on Tuesday for a little vacation from a vacation .I went shopping for school clothes on Monday & 6Flags on Tuesday with one of my best friends . When I went to 6Flags I was wearing an orange romper so I figured why not do my toes & nails to match. So that's what I did ! For the pedi all I did was paint my nails in Color Club Lava Lamp & just layered OPI Black Shatter & Voila ! The mani was also very simple. All I did was a french tip in Color Club Lava Lamp , then layered OPI Black Shatter & underlined it all with a silver striper . Mani & Pedi done ! I actually still have on the pedi but it's time for a new mani . Enjoy !
