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.

If you want to learn in more detail how I created this triangle detail, check out my blog post on it here!

Mint and White Polka Dot Nail Tutorial

Hello again, everyone!  Sorry I didn't post anything for a couple days. Today's post is another tutorial! I was planning on doing a video for this one but my camera is still not working. I will still make a video for it later, but hope you're all happy with this for now. This design is so simple, I think anyone can do it. If you have trouble don't give up, just keep trying. So, Let's get started!


If you want to see how I created this look, just keep reading!

          Products used:
            Base coat: Nail-aid, 3 minute artificals
        Mint green: Rimmel 60 seconds, Mintilicious 
        White: Sinful Colors, Snow Me White
        Silver Glitter: Art Deco, Silver Glitter
        Top coat: Sally Hansen, Insta Dry

 Step 1: Start by applying your favorite base coat to all of your nails. Always remember to go along the free edge of your nails to help prevent chipping. The free edge is the very tip of your nails. Do this  with every coat of nail polish you apply for best results. 

Step 2: Choose which nails you want to be your accent nails, and leave them bare. Paint the tips of your non-accent nails in the color of your choice. I chose a mint green. 1-2 coats should be all you need. We're going to call this color, "color 1", later on in this tutorial.

Step 3: With the second color of your choice,(I chose white) paint 1-2 coats on your accent nails. Allow your nails to dry well before moving onto the next step. We're going to call this color, "color 2" later on in this tutorial. 

Step 4: Using a toothpick or dotting tool, dipped in color 2, place dots all over the tips of your non-accent nails.

Step 5 and 6: Using a toothpick or dotting tool dipped in color 1, start to fill in the whole accent nail with small dots. I find dotting in diagonal lines gives the best results for this. Try and keep the dots about them same size for best results.

Step 7 and 8: Just follow the last 2 steps. Using a dotting tool or toothpick dipped in color number 1, make small dots in diagonal lines. Continue until the whole nail is full of dots.

Step 9: Using a striper make a small line at the bottom of the tips. This just gives a more finished look. It also helps to hide if you didn't have perfectly straight tips. I used a silver glitter striper. You can skip this step, or use any color you want.

Step 10: After giving your dots a few minutes to dry, apply your favorite top coat to seal in your design.

If you want, use a paint brush, or cotton bud dipped in nail polish remover clean up any polish that you may have gotten on your skin. Apply your favorite cuticle oil over the whole nail and you're all done!

NOTD: Pink, and While polka dots

Hello again, everyone! I hope you're ready for a new post! Although, I guess it doesn't matter if you're ready or not. Today's post is another, Nail of the day. I'm loving these nails! They are really simple, I think anyone could do them. They look girly, and ready for spring. When I get my video camera working, I can record a video tutorial if you'd like. It's so simple, Start with your favorite base coat, paint your nails with whatever color you'd like in whatever way you'd like. When your polish has dried go in with a dotting tool, or a toothpick, and place your dots in whatever color you want. I finished my tips with a line of silver glitter again. Then add a top coat and that's it! I hope you like my nails today, and if you try the look out let me know, I'd love to see! You can share your pictures on my Facebook page!
Have a blessed day,
