Snowflakes!

Hey guys! Yep I'm alive! I've been doing my nails but not blogging about them, since I can't seem to get Blogger to work well from my phone :P But if you're on my FB page you've probably seen what I've been doing :)

Finals are done and I have a few weeks off for the semester *woohoo!!* I actually did these nails before finals, but never uploaded the pics until today *whoops*, I got a ton of compliments at school, random places, and even Bundle Monster commented on them from Twitter :D

The base is two coats of Ludurana Azul Ceu, it really could have used 3 but who has time for that? ;) I then used Bundle Monster plates BM-323 and BM-319 for the stamps. What I did was pick and choose snowflakes from the full stamp on BM-323 to make each nail different, and used the single snowflake from BM-319 to add to that as well. I started with just using Snow Me White from Sinful Colors, then after I was done with the white I did a few snowflakes in Julep Jessica to try and create a little depth. I wrapped it all up with one coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust and tada!!

Seriously, even guys complimented these lol!!

What do you guys think?

Until next time! Happy painting! And happy holidays!

I feel naked!!!! Do you like these better?

Hey guys! Today I feel completely naked for the first time in about 2 months now I guess. Last night I took off my acrylics (shock! Awe!), yep I did it myself and it took about and hour because of how long I soaked them in acetone, but I didn't want my nails as torn up as they would have been had I gone to the salon to have them removed.

They were annoying me, so I just decided the hell with it! Because my nails curl in so much when they start to actually grow, the acrylic didn't want to stick around the edges and it was driving me nuts. Better for my nails to be naked anyway!

So after getting them back to what I feel is acceptable, I used the first of many polishes I got in a recent Brazilian swap. I received about 40 or more in the swap, so I doubt I'll get to all of them right off the bat, but she sent some amazing things!

Today's polish is Ludurana Magnifica which I used two coats of. No correct me if I'm wrong but to anyone that owns this, or this brand, do they smell like polish to you? I couldn't place the smell but it's not what I'm used to at all!

I'm blabbing now, this polish is a gorgeous light blue holographic, and my pictures do not do it justice as I needed to take pics outside in the sunlight but it was night when I took them :P But yea, I can't wait to drive and be completely and utterly distracted ;)

So guys, what do you think? Do you like my short natural nails, or acrylic nails better?

Until next time! Happy painting!
