I had to add something to Hard Candy 'Beetle'. I decided to do a simple tape mani. 

For this I used two colors from the Color Club In True Fashion collection. The Dark Purple is  Color Club 'By Desgn' and the blue-ish purple is Color Club 'In The Limelight'. 

I really love this color combination! I will definitely be trying it a different design with these same colors. (:

Hard Candy

Recently I purchased a set of 8 brand new Hard Candy polishes for $11 on eBay. What a deal!! I got them all in the mail a couple days ago.

So far i have swatched two of the eight, including 'The End' and 'Beetle'.

The End:

This is a gorgeous black! It did take three coats, but it is naturally shiny, so it did not require a topcoat. It also has smooth application.

Beetle:

An absolutely stunning purple-green polish that "changes" color depending on how the light hits in. It's so distracting to look at! This is a mere one coat over "The End'.

What do you guys think? (:

Sunflowers

Lately I've been seeing lots of spring-y nails around, so i wanted to join the club. I decided to do sunflower nails. As a base i used Julep - Susie, which is a beautiful light blue. i used a few different yellows to give the petals depth.

Here's the turn-out:

Over-all I was very happy with them, and I'm sure I'll end up doing sunflower nails again soon.

Twin Nails with @kats_kreations

If you are on Instagram you may have heard of "twin nails", which is when two people agree on a theme and do their nails accordingly. IG user @kats_kreations_ and i collaborated with this tag. We decided on gradient and cheetah print. We also chose the colors pink and purple. 

This is my mani:

and here they are side by side:

 This tag is so much fun! Not only does it give you a chance to talk to new people, but sometimes you get to try new things. I can't wait until I do more twin nails.

Nail Twins with @andreitus_nails

Julep Mystery Box

My Julep Springtime Mystery Box came in the mail yesterday! Look at all the pretty polishes!

L-R: Jennifer, Claire, Parker, Robin, Portia, Camille, Gloria, and Volumizing Mascara

I can't wait to try these all out! I already own Gloria, so I shall have to give this one away.

Hello lovelies.

A few days ago I revieved a little package from the owner of UNeek Polishes and got these two gorgeous polishes!

I couldn't wait to try them on! First I did a swatch of Dark Angel, a dark grey holo base that is opaque in just one coat. I wore two coats just to add a bit more holo. I really need to make or buy a lightbox, because this lighting does not show the sheer beauty this polish is, especially in the sunlight! Where you see little shimmers, it becomes rainbows!

To try out Carpe Diem, I did some simple French tips using striping tape. This is a nice bright blue base with a heck load of holo! It is also opaque in just one coat (even over Dark Angel!)

These are just two polishes (that I helped name! Yay!) out of 5 from her new collection.

Her polishes can be bought on www.etsy.com/shop/uneekpolish

One Love Lacquer

So a few weeks ago I won a giveaway on Instragram that was being held my the owner of One Love Lacquers and got these three beautiful polishes:

 

Left to Right: Lost Boys, Captain Hook, and Mermaid Lagoon

I finally had a chance to swatch all three!

First off is Lost Boys. This is a clear base with black, gold, and silver glitters. This is one coat over Sinful Colors- Arduoise. 

One Love Lacquer - Lost Boys

Next was Captain Hook. This is also a clear base with red and purple hex glitters. I swatched it over Wet n Wild - Tickled Pink.

One Love Lacquer - Captain Hook

 And finally, here is Mermaid Lagoon. I think that without a doubt, this was my favorite of the three! I'm a sucker for blue and purple glitters. Mermaid Lagoon has tiny little teal glitters, as well as normal dark blue and purple glitters. This is a single coat, over Color Club Blue-Ming.

Squat Routine

Hey everyone! So a couple days ago I posted a picture on Instagram stating that for every like, I would do a squat.... Well the result was over 100 likes.. 114 to be exact! YIKES!! But in an effort to live a healthier lifestyle, I said why not?

Day 1: my routine was as follows: 100 squats (sorry I could do more), yard work for an hour and a half, movie (yay a break!) then 3 fun packed hours of Just Dance 3 on the XBOX Kinect. The result? I can barely walk today! It doesn't help that my school has tons of stairs!! But I roughed it out and I feel good about myself and my effort!

Day 2: (today) my legs are still completely sore (not to mention backache from so tough yard work) but I didn't let myself quit. I couldn't do squats but instead I did 115 (yes I added one!) leg lifts, and 30 crunches. Once I rested a bit, I took my dogs out for a nice, relaxing 30 minute walk.


So in summary, I'm pretty sure I went too hard the first day, but I guess you have to live and learn. I am glad I'm exercising though, because although I'm exhausted right now, I know I will feel livelier after a little nap!

Hey guys. i decided to finally make a blog! Yay! and what better way to  tart it off than with my February Monthly Mani favorites!

This month I did quite a few designs I absolutely loved, including quite a few superhero nails (of course) .

I also did some Ed, Edd, and Eddy nails for a 90s cartoon theme nail art contest on Instagram.
