31 Week Challenge: Week 3 (Yellow Nails)

Hello again! So I know that these posts are not exactly happening every week as I had originally planned... We are coming up on finals and things have just gotten way too crazy! This week is yellow nails which usually presents a bit of a challenge for me. I really don't like using yellow as a base color for my manicures, but this one turned out alright. enjoy :)


I am so sorry for the messy clean up job!! I watched The Lion King today and was inspired. I started with ULTA Sun-Sational for the base, then I sponged on Essie Braziliant and ULTA Red Carpet Red. I added some freehand painting...yes that is supposed to be a giraffe lol...freehand painting is not my forte. That black polish is Revlon Black Satin. Anyway, that's all for today folks! Thanks for stopping by! Don't forget to comment, check the reaction boxes, and share with your friends!!

31 Week Challenge: Week 2 (Orange Nails)

Hello everyone!! It's so good to be back!! I broke a couple of my nails a while back, so I have been waiting for them to grow back enough to where I could create this next post for you guys! enjoy :)



I used Essie Braziliant for my featured orange color, and OPI Alpine Snow for the white. I then used that same orange with the BM308 stamping plate to add some orange slices to my orange themed manicure!

31 Week Challenge: Week 1 (Red Nails)

Hello everybody!! I have decided to start the 31 Day Challenge over again! I took this challenge on last January, and did every day in the order that they were originally posted. This time around, I don't have the time it takes to change my manicure every day. So what I've decided to do is do the manicures in order, but I'm going to do one each week. So without further ado, this week is Red Nails! enjoy :)


So I started with the star of our show A-England Perceval. This is my favorite red in my collection! I love the intensity and the shimmer. Then I stamped on China Glaze Passion on the BM-314 plate. Then I added some dots of Orly Au Champagne to finish it up! I hope you like it!

NOTD: Birds Of A Feather

Oh my goodness it has been so very long since my last post, life has just been way too crazy!! I hope this new post finds you all in good health and spirits! Today I have my first ever feathers manicure for you to check out, enjoy :)

I started with two coats of Orly Au Champagne for my base. I have been wanting this color for such a long time, and I am IN LOVE! It is this really cool pearly white color with a matte finish. I took a picture with an iPhone and I'll post it below, but I will probably do a full swatting post of this color at some point in the near future. (I'm really going to try to start cranking out blog posts more often again).


After that dried, I applied one top coat and stuck the feathers on while it was still wet. Then I added another top coat and cut/filed off the excess feathers. Lastly, I added one more top coat to give it a smooth and glossy finish, and voila! I'm really happy with the way this manicure turned out. 



Thanks so much to those of you who stopped by to check out this post even though this blog has been pretty inactive lately! I hope you liked this manicure please leave me some feedback (good or bad) or check one of the boxes below so I can see what you think!! I love you guys! Have a fantastic weekend!

NOTD: Purple Fire

Hey everyone! So I finished up this manicure today--which was inspired by one that I had done for my friend Danielle a couple of days ago--and I showed it to my other friend Lauren who said, "Whoa, it looks like purple fire!" Hence the title of this blog post. So without further ado, here come the pictures! enjoy :)



Ok, so I started with my favorite plum color China Glaze Urban-Night. Then I added OPI Alpine Snow and Essie Watermelon using the dry water marbling technique.



Thanks for stopping by, come back again soon! Love, passionnforpolishh <3

NOTD: I Want Candy

Hello again everybody!!! I am so sorry I have been way too busy enjoying my first month here at Cal State Northridge to get a blog post up for you guys! But I have not forgotten about you, and I hope you haven't forgotten about me! Today's post is girly and fun and I hope you enjoy it :)


Ok, so this manicure started with OPI Alpine Snow! Then on my ring fingers and thumbs, I added a candy pattern with plate BM306 using Essie Watermelon (pink), China Glaze Urban Night (purple), and ULTA Blue Streak (blue). Then I added some China Glaze Fairy Dust to top it off! I also added pink, purple, and blue heart-shaped rhinestones on the rest of my nails to match the gradient of the stamp.



Let me know what you think!! Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a fantastic day!! <3
