Rain Rain GO AWAY


this was inspired by the fact that it is raining today. of course i left my umbrella at my grandma's house. boo.

i really need to work on clean up BEFORE i take my pictures :/


glitters from different angles oooohhhhh



i think  this one is the most color accurate. although you can see that much glitter irl... :)


This is the first jelly sandwich nail that i tried and i actually like it! this is Color Mates Blue Thunder and love & beauty disco ball for the glitter. and i used savina base and top coat for the top coat :) also i put the glitter on the outside of my ring finger instead of doing the last layer of blue for an accent nail. its more obvious in real life, my camera picked up a lot of the glitters that you cant really see! haha :)

elegant nails


hats the only name i can think of to call these nails. the pictures aren’t very good, they look wayyy better in person. the color is a peachy gold but it turns more pearly when you turn it different ways…kind of hard to explain i guess:) but it still turned out pretty cool!

cheetah




on christmas i did my cousins nails. she wanted cheetah print :) i used essie jazz, wet n wild i need a refresh-mint, and a brandless black.

christmas light nails






my cute little christmas lights! :) i like these a lot, and they all connect to each other, how fun is that?? :)  i ended up taking lots of pictures, some with flash and some without. i really need to get a lightbox! i used essie jazz, color club cadillac red, nameless black, wet n wild caribbean frost and wet n wild saved by the blue.

i tried houndstooth....




i tried to do a houndstooth design. it came out okay i guess, meh. the black is confetti lucky licorice and the minty color (it looks blue here but its really tealy mint) is wet n wild i need a refresh-mint. :)

Stripes




These stripes were fun! the black is shiny and the blue is matte. the black was some black brandless striper i have and the blue was illamasqua serenity. the white dots were from a white striper that came with the black :)

Tea Time




I called these tea time because they reminded me of tea for some reason :P the blotches were supposed to be flowers but they kind of turned into a watercolor mess! im pretty sure the blue i used is opi for sephora slushied, and the pinks are wet n wild boken hearted and heart's desire. i think i used color mates florida sunset too? i dont remember! and the white is diamond cosmetics white. :P 

Blue Homecoming Nails




 These are the nails i had at high school homecoming this year. i am a freshman in college but my boyfriend is a senior in high school (i know, call me a cougar, but hes my best friend so i dont even care) :) my nails matched his tie and even though you cant really tell in this picture, they were half matte and half shiny. :) i used NYC's cashmere cream, wet n wild saved by the blue, confetti lucky licorice, and savina base and top coat for the shiny and opi for sephoras matte top coat for the matte :) 

This is a test....this is only a test
