Happy New Years Eve Lovelies!! Hope you are having a wonderful day, and hope you all stay awake late enough to see the ball drop!! Plus the line up for Rockin New Years Eve looks pretty amazing! So today I actually have gotten some of my IG friends together and we have done black & gold themed Manis! Thought it would fun to get people together, plus working with this bunch is so fun! Literally I have the best IG nail Friends!! First up Solo Pics!


For this look I used Zoya Willa, my favorite standby black. :) The golden glitter is Serendipity Nail Polish Star Fish Tree Topper. I actually reviewed it a few weeks ago. You can check that out here!! The Dotticure part was done with 2 sizes of dotters, then the stars were done with a Star Vinyl from Twinkled T which y'all can check out their vinyls here. 


I freehanded (obviously) the 2016 with acrylic paint. It didn't turn out so well and with top coat it looks a bit funny sue to shiny glare. 


Over all I am really happy with how these turned out. Plus they were fun to do as well which is always a good thing!! 


Guess what?! I also made a tutorial!! Surprised myself on that one!! So check it out below!




The IG version is going to feature one of my favorite songs of 2015! ;) I love music, picking favorites is hard tho especially when you like so much!!

Next up is the collab Photo!



Everyones nails turned out great! Plus I just love this group, I have some of the best Nail Friends for sure!! :) Be sure to check all of them out here...

Hello there everyone! So today for you I have a pretty quick post I think plus it's to help you get ready for tomorrow! NYE, wow that came quick! I mean a week ago that was Christmas Eve!! 


I did some fun firework art and topped it with 2016! Is jut me or is it weird to say 2016! Lol!! :D Seems odd, and futuristic! Haha!! So for these I started out with a shimmery black base.


This is 2 coats of Zoya Anais. It's from a mini trio they had out last January. 
 

After that I used metallic acrylic paint and painted on the fireworks and then I added sparkles on top. Those sparkles were both by Pretty Woman Nail Polish. One is called Pink Splatter, and the other Royal Blue Splatter. Both of which are a bit on the thick side. I applied them on to the fireworks with a tiny nail dotter. Below you can check out the tutorial!



I don't film the 2016 part of it that was just a bit to challenging! Well I hope y'all like these! Let me know what you guys think!

Happy Painting!

Hey there everyone! So I know this is a bit out of routine posting time! Yet I did have a Top 12 Blog Posts of 2015 up earlier! That was super fun to go see which ones were the top ones by the month! I plan on doing a similar one for top Instagram Posts! So that will be fun as well! Today I have another China Glaze from the Cheers line!


This is 2 coats of Mix & Mingle and I am just loving the creamy purpleness! It's so fun! The formula is a bit watery but it self levels and evens out nicely! 2 coats worked great and I think it's just such a fun color! I am curious to see what it looks like compared to Creative Fantasy! It's been awhile since I have used that one but I think it may be similar! I guess I will just have to see and let y'all know!


It dries really nice and shiny too! I always wear top coat either way but still it's nice to know sometimes! ;) This photo actually has not top yet because as you will see soon there is more to this look!


Ok now we can move on to the art part! First up here is what it looks like and then I will share the tutorial!


All I did for this is use a sponge and add Brand Sparkin New Year to the tips of my nails! It was super easy and looks nice on! With glitters on the edge tho it can hang off and snag. My suggestion to help that is just to run your finger along the edge of your nail while wet so any odd glitters won't stick off your nail! :)



This could be done in SO many color combos too!! I even feel like this would be a great NYE mani, I feel like really any glitter is great for it!:)


Well that is all for this post! Hope you all enjoyed it and I hope you all liked the tutorial as well! Let me know what you all thought below! :)

Happy Painting!

Wow! So this is the last week of 2015, where did the year go!? This year blogging wise has been amazing. I opened my blog Janurary 21st, and I am soo happy I did. I absolutely LOVE running this blog and its really just made me so happy! So today I thought I would share the top post by month which means the Top 12. I went back and found out which ones had the most views and came up with this so lets get to it! :)

So yesterday I shared China Glaze Ugly Sweater Party, and now I have for you China Glaze Brand Sparkin New Year and it's perfect for a New Years mani!


Only 2 coats and just look at this lovely deep purple! I am loving it! It's like the ultimate purple glitter at that.


I love how it just picks up so many colors!  There is one more similar to this in the collection that I may just have to use next. New Years Eve to me means sparkles so I may just keep this sparkly these going all week! ;) How does that sound?!


The thing with polishes like this is that they are just too pretty to do art on top of them right? I mean I think I may try and add something to this. Not sure tho! Any suggestions?!



Well I hope y'all are enjoying this color as much as I am! If you are wanting to get this polish the best place to order them is definitely HB Beauty Bar! I am eyeing one from the Star Hopping Collection and I think I may just have to get it when I order my base coat! ;)

Happy Painting!

Morning everyone! I'm so excited about today's post! There is nothing "Ugly" about Ugly Sweater Party by China Glaze. It is stunning!



This was just 2 coats! It's a pink tinted base filled with gorgeous pink glitter along with purple and hint of other rainbow glitter variations and well I just love it!


Here I feel like you can see more of the variation! I am also going to post one of those fun blurry videos on Instagram so y'all can see all the glitters! Blurry glitter videos are always fun right! ;) I mean I know how weird that sounds but really they are great! So check that out later today!


China Glaze is really impressing me with this line! I haven't been this excited for a line of theirs in awhile, and I really feel like this is one of their best ones, yet I feel like  their Holiday Collections are always on point!


I literally can't stop looking at my nails! They are just that fun!



This is what I am having on for he #themedthursdayDec Sunday edition Sparkle these!! It's sparkly enough right? Or is there such a thing! Also if you want this in your collection but can't find it IN stores, I suggest getting it on HB Beauty Bar.

***UPDATE***

Decided to add some art AND I made a tutorial as well! I am trying to get back into making tutorials so lets start with that here..



Hope you all enjoyed the tutorial and now here is a full look at the final look. :)


Hope you all like it! Any requests for new videos let me know below and also be sure to go and subscribe to my channel to see when they come out before they are even posted here! :)

Happy Painting!

Hey y'all! I hope you all had an amazing Christmas yesterday. I had a lovely time! All went by too fast! Today I will be sharing the actual look I had on yesterday! 


It actually ended up matching my Christmas PJs which I had no clue what they looked like when I did my nails! So that is neat. For this look I used China Glaze Better Not Pout and China Glaze Bring on the Bubbly. 


This is just one coat of Better Not Pout, and it's beautiful! I am amazed it only needed one coat too! Super impressive because with most colors like this you need at least two! So a very good surprise. :)


Really I am just obsessed with this color! It's not like anything I have at all so it's nice to see something new. Plus I don't feel like this is one you would expect in a holiday line. Which makes me excited, you?


I took a lot of photos of it too! It just looks so nice on! 


Now on to more photos of it with the golden glitter which is Bring on the Bubbly. It's such a lovely mix of glitters! It would be PERFECT for a New Years look which makes me happy because glitter is fun and apparently I have a thing for golden glitters!


The base to glitter ratio is nice too. It is a bit runny so for doing this gradation I used a dotting tool and filled it in! 


All of these polishes are from HB Beauty Bar so if you are interested in grabbing some of these you can here. Also if you use Seche Vite Base/Top HB Beauty Bar  is my favorite place to get it! Plus there is typically a 15% off and so it's all just great! ;) Well I hope y'all like these nails! I have really been enjoying wearing them! They just look so classy on! 

Happy Painting!

Merry Christmas lovelies!!! Hope you are having are WONDERFUL day thus far, and continue too!! Today I have a Christmas look that I did for a fun collaboration that will be up on Instagram later today!


This is not actually what I am wearing today but you will see those soon! Yet I just love how festive these are! I used new polishes from the China Glaze Cheers line!


2 coats of Peppermint to Be as my base color! The gold glitter is Bring on the Bubby. Both are China Glaze and from the cheers line! :) I love them!


I used a variety of others from the Cheers line for the tree decor too. I honestly don't remember which ones they were tho! Ekk! I'm terrible! So sorry! I can figure it out tho if you want to know!


I hate for this to be the last Christmas look but time has just gotten away from me and I am so sorry! Christmas manis are my favorite! So how do y'all feel about Christmas manis through out the weekend! I mean people still celebrate on the weekend if they have to visit family right? ;)

Well I hope you all enjoyed this post and hope you all have a WONDERFUL and very Merry Christmas!

Hey y'all, and Merry Christmas Eve! Wow, seriously Christmas came really quick actually! What do you all think? Did it come quick for you? Well today I have a Nutcracker on my nails! First time ever so that's always fun to try something new.


The base polish if from the new China Glaze Cheers line! I'm sure some of you know because you follow me on Instagram but I actually won the whole Cheers line from Kelli Marissa and HB Beauty Bar! So thank you both so so much! I am loving them so much. I used Son of a Nutcracker which is just really pretty!


I wasn't sure if I would like it since its a red/orange. Yet it's really nice! 2 coats and nice to use! It's been awhile since I've used any China Glazes, I had forgotten how much I liked them!


What do you all think of this different color? I am really enjoying it!


Ah, such a lovely shade! I wasn't sure what type of art to do on it, so thankfully the name of the polished helped me out. That's why I did the nutcracker! :)


That's all for today! Hope you all have a WONDERFUL Christmas Eve! 

Merry Christmas Eve!

Hey there everyone! So these past few days have been just pure crazy! I have been keeping up on here but I feel like I've been slacking everywhere else! So I'm trying to get back on my typical posting times! Hopefully today will be better than yesterday! So what do you all think of Olaf yesterday? I still really can't believe I pulled him off! Anywhooo moving on to today's post I have a swatch and some art! 

A few posts back I swatched Cherry Bean from the Pretty Woman Nude Collection and so I today have a new look with it plus more fun art. 


For this look I used Cherry Bean as the base and then the glitter is also a Pretty Woman Polish. It's just called Pink Splatter and well I am really liking it. I feel like the mix of bars and hexes is just really fun here, and surprisingly it was a great glitter to apply. Came out nice and evenly!


Now here is a new Swatch! This is a Gelogic polish from Pretty Woman it is named Deep Purple. It's a bit thicker but the pay off is just one coat! So long as you don't mind a thicker formula, you are set! It's really just a super nice purple too. 


I added a present bow and some fun glitter which I am holding here. It's called Black and Gold Splatter. It's a great fun glitter! The variation in size and all is nice and fun! I think it will be great for a New Years mani next week!


The bow was all done free handed, which was fun as always!


Well I hope y'all have a lovely day, and hope you have a wonderful Christmas Eve Eve! ;) Let me all know what y'all think of these untraditional colored Holiday Manis?

Happy Painting!

Hello there everyone! So as you can tell by the title, there is art in today's post! And I mean since it is Olaf why not just start with the art right?! ;) So let's get right into it!


I've always wanted to do Olaf but well I've never had the guts! Well actually I think about a year I attempted but failed so that really started this one out with a lot of doubt! This blue, which a swatch photo is coming;) , just seemed like the perfect Frozen Blue!


The blue is named Bliss and is by Pretty Woman Polish. It's a Gelogic one but I have to say I really like it! It's a bit on the thicker side, but a one coater so thy isn't bad long as you can work with a thicker polish. On my ring finger it did bubble a bit. However once I put on Top Coat it was perfectly fine!


So what do you guys think of Olaf?! Even though he was super stressful to paint he was so much fun to paint. Especially since I feel like he came out pretty well. He's far from perfect but I am pretty proud of him!


Well that is all for this post!! I am trying to get in so so much before Christmas I just don't know how I am going to do it all!! On to work on more nails! Make sure and let me know what you all think of these! I can't wait to hear!!

Happy Painting
