Red And Silver Nail Art

HEEEY I'M BACK FROM CHINA!! I finally got back a week ago, but then was busy during the week that I didn't have time to post anything. I finally have some free time, so I have these fun nails to post for all of you! They're just a simple flashy design that I did quickly. I LOVEE red and silver combinations, if you use dark red they can be subtle with just a hint of sparkly sass, and if you use a bright red, like here, they can be flashy and bright! Keep keep keep reading!

Cherry Blossoms With Revlon-Whimsical

Hey hey everyone! So this is very last post before China, as I'm leaving tomorrow morning and can't post while I'm there. But at least for today I have these nice simple cherry blossom nails! I used Revlon-Whimsical  as the base here. It's a really old polish that I got for Christmas a couple years ago. I've always been too lazy to use it really, until today! My friend saw it in the bottle and told me it looked ugly like garbage, so I told her I could turn it into something beautiful. This is what happened! Keep reading to see more!

Geometric Triangles With Pops Of Color

Hey all, sorry I've been bad blogger lately. I've been busy all last week, one of my friends visited from California and we went on college tours for several days. So yeah I've been away, and unable to blog. I'm not sure how much time I'm gonna have in the coming weeks, I'm not really going to be home much and I'm leaving for China on Friday. But I've got some nail art for today!

FIFA World Cup Final-Germany Nails

Yes I finally did them...My WORLD CUP NAILS!! If any of you lovely readers have been on the blog the past couple weeks, you've probably heard me mention the World Cup more than a few times. Well I've been holding out, and the final match if finally coming up on SUNDAY! As I predicted, Germany is competing in the final, and I've been rooting for the German team since day 1. I love the German team, even when they beat the US (what feels like a long time ago in the group stages), I didn't feel badly about it, because the German team is just so superb! So I've decided to show my support on my nails.

India Inspired Nails

Hey guys! Today the Lacquer Legion's prompt was due, and it was On Holiday. For summer yaknow? This kinda stumped me for a while, because the only nail art I could picture was palm trees on a sunset gradient, or a beach or something, and that just seemed sooo boring. Nothing personal against palm trees, but you guys know I just crave to be unique. Then I remembered that ever since I was little, I've wanted to go to India. I did a quick Google search of India patterns and colors, and found some beautiful elephant images with gorgeous designs. So I used those to inspire each of my nails here. And look, I'm actually posting this one on time!

Orange Bows

Hey hey everyone! So YAYYY for the US for surviving that group of death right?! No one thought we could do it, but the American team performed excellently and we were determined, and we made it through! AND over Portugal and Ghana! You can't blame me for being so happy about this. 
I don't have any nail art that's at all related, but I DO have these orange bows! 

Flower Frame Nails

Hey hey happy Tuesday! How are we all feeling about US and Portugal :((( That last 30 seconds goal totally bummed me out, but I'm looking forward to a really exciting game against Germany on Thursday! 

My nail art today are these cute blue and pink flower frame nails. These were inspired by the talented nailsbydaniellet on instagram. She's amazing! Keep on reading for more!

China Glaze Prismatic Collection Swatches

Hello hello hello everybody! Who's pumped for the US and Portugal today?!?! So excited! 
Today I've got 5 of the 6 China Glaze Prismatic collection polishes for you guys. I've been trying to collect this entire collection for a while now (you guys know I LOVE full coverage glitters!) and these polishes are REALLY cool. A few weeks ago my friend gifted me a couple as a late birthday gift, so I finally decided to publish my swatches! 

Neon Moons & Tips On Nude

Hi guys. I know I'm supposed to be excited and all. About it being almost the last day of sophomore year. But I'm like kinda bummed about Spain and everything. It's not like I was rooting for them or anything, I just wanted Spain to win something. It was a sad ending:( But hooray for Chile I guess! 

So this post is gonna be a quick one. I did a simple half moon and tips mani, with some neons on nude. 

Daisy Nail On Mint

I have a really old post today that I just totally forgot about posting...oops. Sorry guys. Stuff just sometimes gets lost in my drafts. 
Also German vs Portugal? Anyone? INTENSE STUFF MAN! I mean that red card?? Damn dude! I'm writing this during halftime, so it'll be quick before the game starts again.
Keep on reading guys!

Glitter Nails With OPI- Suzi's Hungry Again

Hey hey happy Sunday afternoon i hope you're all doing well. My VERY LAST EXAM is tomorrow morning (math) and I haven't been as busy so I've been able to get some nail-ing done. But the next month's nail art schedule will have to work around the World Cup. I'm kind of watching France vs Honduras right now. Instead of studying. 

I did these pink and glittery nails yesterday. Keep reading to see more!

Stained Glass Nails

So like one of my favorite nail designs ever is probably stained glass. You can always make it as colorful as you want, or you can pick any color scheme you like. They're a great way to express yourself, and you can also make them as detailed or as basic as you want. The lines can be straight, jagged, bent, anything! Ok so I love stained glass nails.

Colorful Watercolor Nails

Hello hello I found time in my busy weekend to do this post for you all! I have like a 20 minute window here so this is gonna be a quickie. This is a pretty old mani that just got lost in my other posts, but I actually really like these so I can't believe I never posted them until now! 

Colorful Concentric Circles

Hey hey hey and sorry for the long time no post everyone! It's the last couple of weeks of school for me (then so long sophomore year!) and it's been SO crammed and busy. I've got tons of projects, reports, papers, but mostly projects :( I did have some nail art last week that i'll be sharing today! They're fun and colorful, and the color scheme was inspired by the lovely bracelet I'm holding!

Glam Nails Inspired By Meryl Davis

So I've been totally into these Lacquer Legion prompts recently, in case you don't know what they are it's basically this thing where every month a group of bloggers creates a theme, and everyone can post nails according to that theme. I really love them, and I'm always doing them! Anyway I'm super late with this post, but April's theme was Glam, and that was sooo fun to do cuz you guys all know how much I love glitter and all things that sparkle! So here's what I came up with!

Splatter Nail Art With Zoya Tomoko & Stevie

Hi guys how's everyone's Tuesday? I had some free time over the weekend and was messing around with my header and format, what do you guys think? 
I have some nail art today using a couple Zoya pixiedust polishes, you guys heard me raving about them last week! I took my 2 favorites, Tomoko and Stevie, and decided to do some splatter nail art! It's not something I do often, because it's so abstract and I have so little control over the design, I don't really like doing splatter nails. The past couple times I've tried it my nails have just come out awful lol. Please keep reading to see more!

Zoya Pixiedust Polishes

Hey hey hey! What's up everybody? Weekend plans anyone? I have absolutely NOTHING it's gonna be great! Just a couple days for some physics work, some quality bonding time with Netflix, and of course nail polish! 
I have an awesome post for today. Zoya had their awesome Earth day exchange a couple weeks ago and my 6 new Zoya polishes finally showed up! I took the chance and bought 6 of their pixiedust polishes. I've heard great things about them, and they have fantastic colors, they're so great! I've been a little slow to the texture trend, I'm only really just getting into them now. I think these pixiedusts are really going to help!
I have all 6 Zoya's swatched today, keep reading!

Black & Silver Glitter Nails w/ Matte Black (Lincoln Center)

Hey guys! Happy Saturday to you all, how've your weekends been so far? My weekend is HUGE! My high school wind ensemble is performing at Lincoln Center tomorrow, and so I figured a proper manicure was in order. I made these nails to match my dress, which is absolutely hideous. But the nails are fun!

Neon Color Block

Hey all woah it's been a while! I totally told myself I would blog more, and then the past week just totally, flew over the head if you know what I mean. I've been busy, with band mostly. Which i guess sounds weird, but we've got some pretty important performances (Lincoln Center anyone?) coming up this week. So it's been like a ton of preparation. Plus youknow school and tests and stuff. I've been so busy I haven't touched a bottle of nail polish in, like, a week. A WHOLE WEEK! Ugh. I needed a fun manicure FAST to get me out of my slump. So 3 words, NEON COLOR BLOCK!

Circles Mani With Ombre Background

Hi everyone happy Monday! Did everyone have a nice weekend? Mine was quite nice, I did LOT'S of cleaning! Little early for spring cleaning I guess, but I just sorta "got in the mood" if you know what I mean. I managed to totally rearrange my room, and I also got rid of a huge box that's been taking up room in the basement for AGES. Mission accomplished haha!
So today's nail art for you all today is this nice concentric circle design. Take a look!

Feather Nail Art

Hi everyone happy Friday! I hope you've all had a great week, mine was pretty great. My school had standardized testing for 3 days, which means I got to get up late and take some really easy tests, then only have 3 periods of the day after. Pretty chill. I got lot's of nail painting done in the afternoon, because I had no homework to do! Today's mani is a cute feather nail look. I've never really done feather nail art, but I really like it!

Colorful Flowers With Sinful Colors-Hottie

Baroque Pattern Nail Art

Hi guys! I hope you all had a nice weekend, mine was quite relaxing I didn't do much of anything haha!

This was what I came up with!

Model's Own Spam

Hello everybody! SNOW DAY #5 today whoo! New Jersey has been CRAZY these past few days! I have some Model's Own polishes to share today that I picked up when I was in London last spring. I have 1 creme and 4 glitters, 3 of which are from the mirrorball collection. These are all kinda old, I never really got a chance to wear them though. I had to change the light setup for these pics to get the glitters to show up better, so please don't mind the messed up pics :/
