Pink Easter Skittle

Hey hey and happy Easter everyone! I just got back from spring break in California/Oregon...it was *awesooome!* I don't think I'm ready to start school again tomorrow :((
I have a quick post today with a skittle mani I did for Easter.
 On my pinky is Francesca's-Bridesmaid with a coat of China Glaze-Fairy Dust on top. The ring finger is Zoya-Lux, the middle and index fingers have OPI-Chic From Ears To Toe with OPI-Solitaire for the dots, and the thumb is OPI-Solitaire on its own.   
There I said it would be quick right? Thanks all of you for reading and have a wonderful Easter Sunday!

Cartoon Flower Nail Art

Hey guys how have your weekends been? It's been kinda rainy and dreary hear in NJ...I love it! I mean, you can tell by the name of this blog. I love the rain, and I love the spring weather. It literally started pouring outside as I write this...awesome.
Today's nails are a contrast to the rain, cute cartoon flowers! I've mentioned how much I love floral nail art right? All sorts of floral print, and I've never done cartoon flowers like these before. See below for more!

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!

My Birthday Balloon Mani!

Hey guys! Exciting post for you today! So I know I'm a couple days late with this post, but my SIXTEENTH birthday was on Monday! It was a pretty awesome day, starting with my counting down the minutes to Monday morning on a marching band bus coming back from Annapolis. But that's besides the point. And what would my birthday be without a manicure to go along with it?!
So I did these cute balloon nails!
Yay balloons! Is there any better way to celebrate your birthday than with balloons? I think not.
Except for cake.
And presents.
:P
I used a sponge to dab on a slight white "french" tip. After that I used a dotting tool to make the balloon shape. The colors, from pinky to thumb, are Zoya-Arizona, Essie-Playdate, Sally Hansen-Mellow Yellow, Essie-Turqoise & Caicos, and Francesca's-Bridesmaid.
I used a striping brush and black to roughly outline the balloons and add the string. These were meant to look a little cartoon-y and child-like. I also used Wet N' Wild-Kaleidoscope to add some glittery sparkle!
So yay that was my birthday manicure! 
Also, got myself some early birthday presents, the first of many to come I'm sure :P
The left is Sephora Formula X-Light Me Up Edison and the right is Sephora Formula X-Nova! Yay another polish named Nova! Be ready to see swatches of those coming up!
That's all for today guys thanks for reading!

Nail Art-Dot Circles

Yay I'm back! I'm posting omg I'm not dead and I'm here again! Yayayay!
Ok so this post might get weird seeing as I didn't get back from my marching band competition till 1 am, and then i was so hyper and I couldn't fall asleep until like 2 and then I got up at like 7 and I'm going a little sleep deprivation crazy and I've been listening to epic metal lord of the rings all day...but it's good, it's all good. We got first place so it's tooootally worth it
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
And I actually did nail art for you guys! How great is that?!?!
So these are my nails today...aren't they purdy? They're like little circles made of dots, like circles made of circles! 
And OMG I used PINK! I, like, never use pink polish, like, ever! 
But then the other day I bought 3 new pink polishes and I have NO IDEA WHY!! I was in like this really girly mood. So i was like yay pink I'm gonna use all my pretty new pink polishes today!
The pink on my pinky is OPI-Chic From Ears to Tail, and it's the nice pink with a little shimmer in it, but you can't see it. And the formula sucks. Like it was so thin and watery and streaky, but top coat makes everything better and now it looks perfect so WHATEVER!!!!! 
HA
The sparkly turquoise on my index finger is this random polish i picked up in China, but gosh isn't it awesome! The white base is OPI-My Boyfriend Scales Walls. For the pink circlies, the large dots in the middle are Essie-Fiesta, and the other two are Francesca brand polishes, the light is Bridesmaid, and the dark is Stuck at Sea. God both those colors are like so illuminatingly bright i swear they glow in the dark. 
THAT'S AWESOME
For the blue nails the large dots are the random chinese nail polish, then the light blue is Zoya-Wednesday and the dark blue is Julep-Eloise.
Then I used a dotting tool to make the design, I mean, duh.
Sorry was that obnoxious?
Whatever I'm so hyper right now like I don't even care
My dotting tool got away from my in a couple places so some dots are just bigger than the others
:-/
AND LOOK HOW SPARKLY MY INDEX FINGER IS!!  And it even has pink shimmer in it so it like matches the whole blue/pink thing and I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE THAT! Isn't that GREAT?!
So I finished with 2 coats of topcoat, yada yada yada. 
So there are awesome! Yay I'm sooooo happy that I actually got to paint my nails with something fancy for the first time in like 2 weeks!! And I love this design and I'm gonna be so distracted by my nails during class and stuff (oh please don't pretend that's never happened to you) but like WHATEVER
WOOO I'm in such a lord of the rings mood I hafta go watch the entire trilogy in a row right now. 
RIGHT NOW
Damn it I have school tomorrow.
And I have to make a cake.
LORD OF THE RINGS PICUTURE MARATHON
