Half Moon Manicure

Hey guys! This is a half moon manicure I did from a while back. I used french manicure guides which is why my 'half moons' are so large. Next time I'm using whole punch reinforcers! I used two coats of China Glaze White Cap for the base and one coat of China Glaze Ruby Slippers for the red. I really like the shimmer these two give off together!

'Til next time!

China Glaze Hey Sailor

Ahoy! This is a really, really pretty one-coater red. If you buy any red, I would buy this one! it's sooo easy to apply and it's very pigmented. This was one coat of awesomeness.

Thanks for looking!

China Glaze Pelican Grey and Revlon Colada Fizz

Hey everyone! Quick update on the franken situation - I haven't made all of them yet because I've had so much work and because I've been sick. I think I'll only have 7 of each in this batch, and I'll make more of whichever people request the most. Just wanted to clue you guys in.

This is China Glaze Pelican Grey, two coats, on its own.

Then I topped it with Revlon Colada Fizz. I really like this combo - it reminds me of Illamasqua Raindrops! That's one of my major lemmings, and I'm glad that I didn't have to pay UK shipping to get something similar.

I hope everyone has a good day today!

China Glaze Ahoy!

Long time no see! Sorry about that! I've been really sleepy lately and I have a lot of schoolwork to catch up on. This is two coat of China Glaze Ahoy, but I could have gotten away with one. It's basically a one-coater!

Here's a comparison of Ahoy and China Glaze Strawberry Fields. Ahoy is on my pointer and middle fingers and Strawberry Fields is on my ring and pinkie fingers. Ahoy doesn't have the same shimmer as Strawberry Fields, as you can tell, and Strawberry Fields is much lighter.

China Glaze First Mate and White Cap

School has started, and it's actually not as bad as I remember it being! Things haven't started to pick up yet, so I may still be able to post regularly. Right now I have a ton of pictures but no time to write a little blurb about them like I am right now... that will be the only thing holding me back :) I finished most of my frankens over the long weekend, so those will probably be ready by this weekend! Exciting stuff!

This is one coat of China Glaze First Mate. It's a little darker than how it showed on camera, for some reason my camera lightens things up quite a bit. It's a very pretty one coater :)

Then things got crazy and I put China Glaze White Cap over it. I'm not sure how I feel about this, honestly!

China Glaze Zombie Zest

So I know it's summer, and I know that this is technically a Halloween color, but I finally found this in person so I had to wear it! :) This was two coats over Sally Hansen Grey Area. I also have a quick question for you guys- I am on vacation and I don't have my computer with me so I can't upload photos from my camera. Would you rather I upload photos from my phone and continue posting as usual, or wait until I get home and upload my pictures from my camera?I'll do either really- I was going to wait until i got home to put up proper pictures but I will only have time to do that Saturday. Thanks for letting me know! :)

China Glaze DV8

It's been really sunny the past couple days, so I put on a holo! This is a lot less holographic than the other China Glazes, but I love teal so I still like it a lot!

China Glaze Grape Pop

Here's another China Glaze for you guys! I didn't take very many pictures of this because I painted my nails in the dark... so whoops! I don't really like the color as it is, so it's not that big of a deal for me.

China Glaze Ruby Pumps

Ruby Pumps is one of my go-to polishes when I don't know what to wear. It's a jelly red with red glitter in it. It reminds me of OPI Smitten With Mittens, but thankfully it isn't hard to find because it's core! 

China Glaze Strawberry Fields

Here's a polish I haven't worn in a while! I actually didn't really like this that much when I initially bought it, but now I love it! This was two coats. The gold shimmer's really yummy.

Water Marbling Tutorial

Wow, I can't believe I've hit 100 followers! I guess another giveaway should be in order, but I don't really want to hold one when my other giveaway isn't even over! I think I'm going to hold tight until that one ends, but no promises! Thank you so so so much everyone! :)

Now here's the tutorial I promised you! Below is what my water marbled manicure looks like. I used China Glaze OMG, Wet n Wild French White Creme and China Glaze 2NIGHT.

The tutorial is long, so please view it after the jump!

China Glaze FYI

Happy Mother's Day, everyone! Today was sunny (well, on and off... it also hailed) so I wore a holo! This is China Glaze FYI. Found it at a dusty, like all my other hard to find polishes! It's a bit too yellow for my taste, but it looks awesome outside. This was two coats, but some fingers had three because of dragging.

Pretty rainbow!

China Glaze Seceret Periwinkle

Hey guys! Here is my manicure for today. This is my favorite go-to color. I love the application on this, it dries super quickly and the color looks great on my skin tone. This was three coats topped with one coat of Seche Vite.
