NOTD: Soft and Cute Baby Blue and Pink

Hello again everyone! I hope you've all had a nice week, and are ready for the weekend. Sorry this post is going up later then usual. Today has been a bit hectic. I have another NOTD(Nails of the Day) for you today. I normally don't have trouble photographing my designs, but this one proved to be a bit difficult.  However, I think I have a couple decent enough shots to show you all my design. This is a very simple design, anyone can do it! If you have any questions feel free to ask. I'd love to hear from you. If you try this design out, share it with me on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, I'd love to see! Like me on Facebook to see more from me. I'm also on Instagram and Pinterest, and Twitter . Check out my other blog if you'd like to see non nail related blogs. 
Have a blessed day,

Want to make your tips look more professional? Try dipping a small paint brush in nail polish remover and clean up the bottom edge. Just swipe the paint brush along the bottom of the tip arching it just a little bit in the center. This gives that clean line we all strive for.

Nail Polish Review: Pure Ice Home Run!, and Bikini

Hello everyone! I hope you're having a nice Friday morning. Today I'm bringing you a review of 2 new spring polishes I picked up earlier this week. I find it hard to believe that with my rather large nail polish collection that I didn't own any colors like these. I had to pick these up when I saw them, they are perfect for spring! These are both new Pure Ice colors for 2013, and you should go pick them up while you still can. I love Pure Ice polish! It wears well, has a wonderful color selection, and it's affordable! Pure Ice is one of my favorite brands of polishes, and if you haven't tried them out yet, you should. You can find them at your local Walmart for $1.97. I will also link you below to where you can get both of the colors I'm talking about today online. If you have any questions feel free to ask. I'd love to hear from you.

Top 5 Spring Polishes

Hello again everyone! I am happy to bring a new blog post to you today. Today we're going to talk about my favorite spring polishes. I narrowed it down to 5 colors, which wasn't an easy task. Lets move onto what colors they are.

Sally Hansen, Lacey Lilac

Essie, French Affair

Rimmel, Mintilicious

Sinful Colors, Cinderella

Pure Ice, Dazzle Me

________________________________________________

Sally Hansen, Lacey Lilac

pastel purple, cream formula

Not only do I love this color, but the formula is amazing. I find it doesn't chip quickly. It only takes 2 coats, and dries quickly.  The brush is standard. I think everyone should have this color in their collection. Plus, it's very affordable at $3.

Essie, French Affair

Lavender based pastel pink, cream formula

I had found it hard to find a pastel pink that looks good with my pale skin. I'm happy to say I found it  in French Affair. This polish take 2-3 coats, and can be a little streaky. It has a standard brush. The lasting power is pretty average. Essie can be a bit pricey if you're a a penny pincher like me. Normally Essie polishes run about $8. I haven't ever paid full price for Essie though. I paid $2.75 for this polish at Ross. Don't be afraid to shop around.

Rimmel, Mintilicious

mint green/turquoise, cream formula

This was my first Rimmel 60 seconds polish, and I love the formula. It does dry quickly, and is opaque in 1 coat. The color isn't a true mint green, it leans more towards a turquoise to me. I always apply 2 coats, but it doesn't really need it. It has a larger rounded brush, I love the brush. The lasting power is pretty good. This is another affordable polish at around $2.  I got mine at Walmart.

Sinful Colors, Cinderella

baby blue with gold simmers, Sheer shimmer formula

This polish is quite sheer, it takes at least 3 coats to be opaque. I think it's worth it though. You could always apply it over another blue polish. This color is so beautiful it has fine gold shimmers, they catch the light so beautifully. I found it hard to capture the shimmer when I was taking these photos. Just trust me, it's gorgeous. These polishes are often on sale 2 for $3 at Walgreens. I picked this one up at Walmart for $1.99.

Pure Ice, Dazzle me

Clear based chunky silver glitter, glitter formula

I have a whole post on this polish already. This is my current favorite chunky glitter. This is a clear based chunky silver glitter and is one of the new colors for 2013. It's packed full of fine silver glitter pieces as well as larger holographic hexagonal glitters. It looks beautiful over almost any color, as well as on it's own. I think everyone who loves glitter should own this polish. At just $1.97 at Walmart it's very affordable. Run out and get it while you still can! 

I can't find a reasonably priced place selling this polish online, so run out to Walmart and get it before you can't find it!

Products used:

Base coat: Nail-aid, 3 Minute artificials

Baby Blue: Sinful Colors, Cinderella 

Blue glitter: Pure Ice, Strapless

White Acrylic Paint: Apple Barrel colors, white

Top coat: Sally Hansen, Insta dry

1 Detail paint brush

As always, I started with a base coat. Then I applied 3 coats of Cinderella by Sinful colors to all fingers. I let that dry for a couple minutes before moving on to the scrolls. Then, I used a detail brush and white acrylic paint to do the scrolls. While the scrolls dried I painted my ring finger with 1 coat of strapless, by Pure Ice. I let that dry for a couple minutes then applied one coat of my favorite top coat, Insta Dy by Sally Hansen. To finished up my look, I took a paint brush dipped in nail polish remover and cleaned up any polish that got on my skin. It's a super easy design, and I'll do a video on it when I have a working video camera.
