Mani Monday

Hey guys! Its mani monday!! Today I made an attempted to do those cute little roses. It looked easy enough you just need a dotting tool, or a small brush and nail polish. So I tried my hand at it. Using my small brush I made a couple small and somewhat circular blobs on my ring fingers let those two dry I cleaned off my brush got another color and started making those little tiny half circles...it was not what I was expecting haha so in attempt to save it I swirled the colors together and it lifted my base color. I wasn't able to save it so I tried something else a fishtail :) and I'm so much more happier with out my fishtail came out. It still needs work but I'm satisfied with my free hand. I'll be working on my roses and fishtails now.

Hi everyone its mani monday :) I rushed to try and finish this before Monday ended over on my end of the spectrum. So for this look I used NYC "Boat Basin" Sally Hansen extreme wear in "Celeb City" and Nicole by OPI in"Razzle Dazzler". This was a tape mani, one of my favorite things to use for nail art is tape. It's versatile and it gives me that nice clean edge. Just remember to let your nails dry completely or use a fast drying top coat like Flash Forward by China Glaze or Seche Viete. I recently purchased Boat Basin along with eight other polishes. I'll have to make some time and swatch all nine and post them up for you guys to see. I wore Boat Basin alone for a day and it held with nicely since I do a lot of typing and hand washing.

My cuticles have been very dry lately, mostly because I wash my hands constantly and never have any lotion around. I need to go out and buy some travel size lotions and have them everywhere. It was somewhat tricky shooting outside, because Celeb City would reflect from the sun and cause my camera to blur. This was the best picture out of all that I took.

Drugstore Haul

Hey everyone. I have a haul for you today. I bought all nine of these polishes for $5!!! I got this deal at Rite Aid with the help of coupons and sales. All of these polishes should be less than two dollars, if its any higher go somewhere else. I've been a sucker for darker shades lately even though we are approaching summer fast. I love pastels as much as the next girl, but I still haven't fallen into pastels yet I think its because I was wearing lighter shades all winter haha. Maybe I should be on a different continent when Summer and Winter and Fall is Spring.
