Hey guys! It's been a really busy few weeks for me, so to get back to posting, I wanted a dark and rich color that is really beautiful when caught in the light. For these nails, I started off with two coats of a beige nail polish. Then I tape off the base of my nail at an angle to leave the tip revealed and painted it with a wine/maroon color. I then added three black jewels along the color divide for an accent finger. Polishes Used; Butter London in Moss (wine/marron). OPI in My Vampire is Buff (beige).  Hope you have a good week!

hallo. Sometimes you see someone with really pretty nails and then begin to suddenly want them and your mind refuses to paint your nails any other color. That is what happened this week, but I added some jewels and did my take on the design. The other day, I noticed a girl's nails that were nude and light purple and I just kept wanting to do my nails with the same light purple. So I went for a half-n-half mani and added a jewel for style. I started off with two coats of a nude (for my skin tone) polish. Then I taped off the bottom half of my nail leaving the tip exposed. I then painted the tip with a lavender purple polish. As an accent I added a few jewels to finish off the look. Polishes Used; OPI in Bubble Bath . Butter London in Hydrangea .  See you next week.

Daydream

Hello!  As some of you may know, I love BTS. And on March 2nd one of the members, J-Hope, released his mixtape entitled Hope World . All of the songs on it are amazing and you can tell he put a lot of effort into them. Along with the mixtape, he released a music video for "Daydream." The cinematography and ideas presented in the video completely encompass the song and himself perfectly. I highly recommend you give it a watch here. These nails took me a week to plan and paint. Shout out to my sister who helped give me ideas and helped pick out all the colors. Polishes Used; OPI in The Art to Warm Your Heart (deep blue), Rich Girls and Po-boys (lighter blue/ mix w/essie to make color),  and Sun, Sea and Sand in my pants (yellow). Essie in mod square (pink), chillato (green/mix w/OPI to make color), blanc (white), and licorice (black). I am very happy with how these came out. Hope you all have a good week!

Hey guys! For my birthday a few weeks ago, my amazing mom got me a ton of Zoya Pixie Dust polishes and I just love this deep and rich purple one. It reminds me of dark storm clouds and rain, which I love.  Its so pretty and sparkles even in the rain. What is great about the Zoya Pixie Dust polishes is that you can wear them two ways. You can keep leave them with the matte texture or you can add a top coat and get a richer/darker color, which is what I went for today. Polishe Used; Zoya Pixie Dust in Thea . See you next week.

Pyeongchang Olympics 2018

Hello everyone! The Pyeongchang Olympics happened these last two weeks. The Winter Olympics are my favorite Olympics, so how could I resist NOT doing nail art for these Olympics in such a beautiful country? For these nails, I took a lot of inspiration from watching all the ice skating (my favorite sport) and the logo that was under the ice. I used white for the base color of my nails because of the symbolism white created in the opening ceremony. Polishes Used; Essie in blanc (white), licorice (black), and mojito madness (green). OPI in The "It" Color (yellow) and Rich Girls and Po-Boys (blue). Butter London in Come to Bed Red (red). Hope all of you have a good week!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone ! Hope everyone is enjoying their day surrounded by the people you love and remembering to love yourself because self love is the most important love of all. For today's nails, I wanted to do a twist on the original french tips. I started with two coats of a nude tone polish that matches my skin. The I used a dotter tool and made two large dot at the tip of the nail and made them connect in the middle to look like the top half of a heart. Is any good valentine's nail complete without a coat of glitter ? Polishes Used; OPI in Bubble Bath (nude for my skin tone). Morgan Taylor in All White Now . China Glaze in Fairy Dust .  See you 💋

Hearts

hallo! There is nothing like hearts everywhere to make you feel the love that surrounds you. For today's nails. I wanted to do something that accented the heart. I really like the idea of doing the inverse colors with the same idea on two nails. I started with two coats of red nail polish on all of the fingers but the ring and the index which I instead painted with a nude polish. On the index, I took a toothpick and painted the outline of a heart and then filled around the outside of it. I did the same on the ring except I filled in the heart instead of around it.  These are probably some of my favorite nails that I have done in a while and I'm overjoyed with how they came out. Polish Used; Butter London in Saucy Jack (red). OPI in Bubble Bath (nude).  See ya!
