Holographic Candy Canes!

Hey guys :) Back again ;) Today's post is going to be rather quick, because like I said yesterday I hadn't been taking pictures other than with my cell phone. So that's what today is :P

I started with two coats of Glitter Gal Red 3D Holo, then I used a small thin nail art brush to make the pink lines, which are OPI DS Elegance, and the white which is Sinful Colors Snow Me White.

I used the  Glitter Gal last year to do candy canes as well, so I wanted to switch it up a little this year. I figured these could be cherry candy canes ;)

Top pic was just inside with natural light at my nail table, and bottom outside in the sun :)

What do you guys think?

Until next time! Happy painting! And Happy Holidays!

Starry Spring Night

Hey guys! Here today with something a bit different! Last night it was beautiful out, in the 60s a few whispy clouds here and there and lots and lots of stars! For those of you that don't know, I'm a little bit obsessed with stars, and they have a lot of meaning to me, I even have 4 star tattoos :) So last night's sky was my inspiration!

I started with two coats of Zoya indigo, made a big full moon with a dotting tool in white, sponged on some white clouds, sponged a little bit of grey over the white moon, using a dotting tool I used white and silver to make some small dots randomly to represent stars, then finally I sponged on a little bit of OPI DS shimmer in a few small spots to give just a little bit of bling.

It was super easy, and fun, something for me that means spring yet it's not in the normal pastel colors. Yay for being different!

What do you guys think?

Until next time! Happy painting!

Super Girly Hello Kitty Nails!

Hey guys! Here today with something a little special. Rebecca over at Rebecca Likes Nails is doing a nail art contest for her favorite nail art things, which are gradients, animal prints, dots, Hello Kitty and bows. Knowing her a bit I also know she is obsessed with cupcakes just like myself, so I wanted to add that in as well!

I started with one coat of OPI DS reserve, sponged on OPI DS signature in the middle, and on the tips I sponged on OPI DS reflection. This on it's own was beautiful! But I wanted to go all out for this one! I started my nail art with the little Hello Kitty face on my middle finger, it's my first time trying to draw/do nail art of her at all so I think I did a pretty good job! Then I did a Hello Kitty bow on my thumb with OPI flower to flower (it's also the pink in the cupcake and the Hello Kitty) and then a cupcake on my pinky finger. I finished off with a leopard stamp on my pointer finger, and zebra stamping on my ring finger. My right hand I just alternated the two stamps.

Oh there are also little pink rhinestones in the middle of both bows :)

It's beautiful outside again today, so I took pictures in my front yard :)

So what do you think? I'm kind of in love with it!

Until next time! Happy painting!

New blog look, and more Valentines nails!

Hey guys! First things first, how do you like the new look of the blog? The lovely Sarah at Chalkboard Nails customized it for me :D She has recently done Chelsea's page over at Pretty and Polished as well!

So for today super simple Valentine's Day mani I used the same SH Coral Reef from yesterday's mani for my base color, I added OPI DS shimmer over it and then on my ring finger used nail art brushes and dotting tools to spell "love" in Kleancolor metallic pink, and added bling into the hearts of course ;)

I was trying to get all fancy and write "love" the way I do when I sign cards with the big pretty L and all...but uh, evidently cursive doesn't translate well to nail art for me! So just ignore that, k? ;)

Oh and for you cupcake lovers out there, I made homemade chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes last night too ;) So here's a pic for you to drool with ;)

Until next time, happy painting!

Super cute Valentine's Day nail art!

Hey guys, back today for another Valentines Day mani! This one took me foreverrrrr so I really hope you guys like it!

I started with a base of OPI DS Reflection (2 coats) then using nail art brushes and dotting tools I made Xs Os hearts and kisses with white, Sally Hansen Xtreme wear Coral Reef, and Essence Nail Art Twins Gabriella. I'm not even kidding when I said it took forever either, ha. Good thing my kiddo was asleep!









I am super happy with it!! I love it :D I'm excited to go out and show it off ;) What do you guys think about it?

Until next time, happy painting!

Nail mail, my first Deborah Lippmanns!

Hey guys! Sorry it's been a few days since I've posted. We have some bad stuff going on with the old mans family, so if you pray please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

So enough of the depressing stuff. Some of you know and some of you don't, but DL was featured on Good Morning America, and that day the three polishes I'll be showing you were half off, and free shipping! So I got three DL polishes for $28!! You cannot beat that, I'm too cheap otherwise haha. I guess they ended up getting slammed with orders and it took foreverrrrr for the polishes to get to me. So when they did, freaking FedEx has bad timing. I was napping and that's when they showed up, of course right? ;) Anyway I found it amusing how big the box was for these three polishes :P

So here they are!! We have Happy Birthday, Across The Universe, and Today Was A Fairytale. Okay and let me tell you, TWAF (that looks bad) says "virgin diamond glitter" was in it...what the crap is that you ask? Yea no idea! Anyone else know?




Then I also got a little bit of mail from the bestie too, she sent me OPI DS Saphire, a Milky Way (shame on me!! I'm dieting, haha so much for that!) and a chocolate masque, which I've never tried so I was excited!



Soooo did I use the chocolate masque you say? Why yes, yes I did. And there was enough left over to put it on my old man too...will I show those pictures to you you say? Yes I will! Will he hate me you ask? Yep...probably haha, but oh well ;)




Until next time, happy painting!

Silver Holo comparison

Hey guys! Today I've got all 5 of the past days silver holo polishes together side by side. :)

From thumb to pinky we have Nfu-Oh 61, OPI DS Shimmer, OPI DS Coronation, Rivka Miranda, and China Glaze OMG.







Which one is your favorite of these? I know I'm missing quite a few silver holo polishes, but which others are must haves?

Until next time, happy painting!

OPI DS Coronation, silver holo day 3

Hey guys! Day three here :) This is DS Coronation, not really HTF but as far as I know it's not one of the current DS polishes.

This is more of a scattered holo, took two coats for full coverage. I think it's really pretty but it's not something that would turn my head from across the room, but would I give it up? Probably not ;)






What do you think?

Until next time, happy painting!

OPI DS Shimmer, silver holo day 2

Hey guys! Day 2 of silver holo week :) Today is OPI DS shimmer. As far as I know this beauty is HTF, but I have an amazing bestie who is also polish obsessed and she sent this to me :)

This is more of a top coat kind of holo, too thin on it's own. This is three coats on my naked nails. It makes my nails look a bit more yellow than they are but eh, I'll get over it ;)






What do you think? I've used this two other times, over a neon yellow, it was amazing! And as part of my galaxy nails which turned out 100% better than I had imagined!

Until next time, happy painting!

OPI DS Signature

Hey guys! Here today with yet another holographic polish. Who doesn't love a good holo?? I know I can't get enough! This beauty is OPI DS Signature, it's a pinkish purple and to just die for!

I used two coats, and topped it with a coat of SV, the edges of my nails might look a little weird, I forgot to wrap my tips until the end :P whoops ;)

Anyway enough rambling, onto the pictures!






What do you think? Do you have a favorite OPI DS?

Until next time, happy painting!

Holographic Christmas Presents

Hey guys!!! I know I have been gone wayyy too long! BUT on a good note, I am DONE with my AA, and have school off until Jan 17th! :D :D :D

I've been doing my nails plenty just haven't posted any blogs, as I've been getting online from my phone mainly.

So I'll start off with the Christmas themed nails I've done before the season is over ;)

So for today we have Holographic Christmas Presents! I wanted to do presents, but didn't want to use all red and green, so what a great time to try out 5 untired colors!!

I only had one picture from before putting the nail art on, and it's from my phone so forgive me for the quality!






So from my thumb nail to the pinky nail I used Hits No Olimpo Hera, Hits No Olimpo Ares, OPI DS Original, Hits No Olimpo Poseidon, and Hits No Olimpo Atena. I then used a thin nail art brush to make the bows, added a silver rhinestone in the middle of each, topped it with SV, and tada!!!

I loved this, and wore it for three days :D

What do you guys think?

Until next time! Happy painting!
