NOTD: A Day at the Zoo

Hello everybody! I know it's been a while since my last manicure, but I am happy to tell you that I am back with a fun manicure that was inspired by my trip to the San Francisco Zoo with my mom, sister, grandma, aunt, and cousins this past Saturday. We had an awesome time, and I decided to use some of my stamping plates to make an animal print manicure! Today's post will feature this mani, but I have also included some pictures from our day at the zoo. enjoy :)

This is me and my sister riding a lion haha :)

Anyway, down to my nails!! The giraffe print nails started with a color that I mixed together. I mixed A-England Holy Grail and Essie Action. Then I used Sally Hansen Forbidden Fudge to stamp on the prints from BM313. The Cheetah print nail started with A-England Holy Grail as a base, and I used Revlon Black Satin with stamping plate m57.

I started the tiger nail with Essie Brazilliant, and used Revlon Black Satin on plate BM16. And last, but not least, the Zebra nail started with OPI Alpine Snow, and I used Revlon Black Satin on plate m57 for the print.

I hope you guys enjoyed this manicure and let me know what you think in the reactions boxes below!! Here are some of my favorite pictures from our zoo adventure.

NOTD: A Day for Daisies

Hello everyone! I am sorry for the long break, but I went to Disneyland last week which was AWESOME! :) And recently we've been watching a lot of old home movies from when my sister and I were just babies, and today we were at the county fair! I hope all of you are immensely enjoying your summers as well! Today I have a fun, girly manicure for you. enjoy :)

So I started with a base coat of OPI Pink Friday (which you can't really see anymore because the other two colors sort of sponged right over it on my short nails). Then I spoged with ULTA Flamingo and ULTA Coral Chic. Then I stamped on this cute daisy pattern from plate BM16 using Sally Hansen Celeb City. I hope you all have a marvelous evening, and I will be back tomorrow with a Fourth of July post for you to check out! Thanks for stopping by, and don't forget to check the box for your reaction to this manicure at the bottom of this post, or even leave me a comment (questions are good too)! I really appreciate all of my readers, any and all of your feedback! <3

31 Day Nail Challenge: Day 14 (Flowers)

Hello again! Day 14 was Flowers. Something went wrong with the size of the pictures, so I had to take a screen capture of them to upload them so they are poor quality and have little arrows in the bottom right hand corner :( I apologize, and I hope I can fix this for today's challenge photos. I have fixed my photo issues!! enjoy the real pictures :D

I used NOX Citrus, OPI Alpine Snow, and Essie Braziliant. I stamped flowers from plate BM16. 

31 Day Nail Challenge: Day 10 (Gradient Nails)

So I am already a third of the way through this 31 Day Nail Challenge. I can't believe it!! I had a lot of fun with this one :) Here are the colors I used:


From left to right: Zoya Trixie, Essie Watermelon, ULTA Celebutant and ULTA Blue Streak 

So for my pointer finger, middle finger, and pinkie I started with Essie Watermelon. Then I sponged ULTA Celebutant and then ULTA Blue Streak. Then I stamped some tiger print from stamping plate BM16 with Zoya Trixie.

I reversed this technique on my thumb and ring finger by starting with Zoya Trixie for the base, and using all three of the other colors on the stamping plate so that this time the stamp was a gradient instead of a solid stamp on top of a gradient nail. It's kind of hard to tell the difference, except for the fact that the blue looks lighter when it's stamped over the silver than when it's sponged over the purple. Here are some more pictures! enjoy :)

NOTD: Plum out of Sunshine

So the rain finally took over the sky today where I live, but fortunately I had a new, plum nail color to play with from China Glaze to occupy my rainy day! enjoy :)

I started this rainy day project with China Glaze Urban-Night. Then I taped off the sides to make the middle of my nails white using OPI Alpine Snow. After that dried, I lined up the tape with the white sections and stamped on these flowers from stamping plate BM16 with Sephora Perfectly Plum. Then, to finish it up I added the lighter plum outlines with Wet n' Wild Through the Grape Vine! :)

NOTD: Party Rockin'

I'm in the partying mood tonight, so I came up with this snazzy manicure! enjoy :)

This manicure started with NOX Twilight Sugar Plum. Then I sponged Essie Aruba Blue in the middle of the nails, and China Glaze Turn up the Turquoise (Neon) to the tips. After that dried, I stamped the tiger print--in Sinful Colors Black on Black--from stamping disc BM16!
