swatching

 Just trying out some new polishes. 

The chrome is new polish. It is called push and shove. It came with a special base coast that is needed to apply before the polish to make it chrome. It didn't last that long on my nail tho since a top coat couldnt be used. 

Testing out the purple. The purple on all my fingers is the same color. I put purple-ish blue glitter on the nails along with stars. 

The grocery store I go to has a make-up buy out and it was all $1! So I picked up 4 new colors. The orange is gel like and has a matte finish. It chipped A LOT in the time of 1 day so needless to say, I took it off any probably won't be using it very much. 

abstract flowers

this design has been all over my instagram and so, i wanted to give a go at it. i REALLY liked this design. it was fun and sparkly and i got the change to use colors i would never regularly use (green, blue, yellow).

sharpie snowflakes

so i tried the sharpie mani that was going all around pinterest. my verdict: STICK WITH PAINT. it smeared when i put clear coat on it, even after following the tips online (waiting a while for the marker to dry, spraying it with hairspray to set it ((whick idk why i thought that would work considering there is alcohol in hair spray...))) but hey, i tried!

missing halloween :(

everyone that reads/follows knows i love halloween so there is no explanation as to why i did a "halloweenish" design in spring. i did this mani a couple days ago...

anyways, i painted my nails purple but the purple i had was too dark and the black didnt show up so i had to sponge a light purple on after painting them the darker purple. its a purple i got from hot topic awhile ago and never used and it surprisingly is wearing well (4 days so far). 

i also stumbled across this facebook page if you are into nail stamping. she has some cool plates and ships to the US! 5 plates is $7usd, for 10 is $10 and for 20 plates is $15 <~ i asked her how much to ship. maybe i will invest in some of her plates. i think i need the hello kitty ones.....
