Shopping and a few swatches!


Top: NYC Brow/Eye Liner - Dark Brown
Bottom: NYC Ultra Stay Lip Color - 417 Flirty

Broadway Nail Dress

Yes, these are cute...in the picture.
But...I don't have anything good to say about these really.
They are crap.
They are basically nail stickers and they are hard to file off and tear at the edges.
They also don't look too hot close up.
I will not be buying these again.
If you want something of better quality go with the Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips by Sally Hansen instead.
Sorry. :[

Kiss Nails - Petites

Yeah I know I have a lot of posts on Kiss Nails.
That's because they are the best brand I've found.
These were $2.50 at Family Dollar.
They were that cheap because they didn't come with
a nail file, cuticle stick, and nail glue like the kits
normally come with. This package only included the 24 nails.
The style of these are Petites. I love these.
They just look natural and pretty.

Splatter Nails

This is my first attempt at the splatter nail.
I watched a Youtube video on this and fell in love with it.
Basically you paint your nail with a base color (white) and then
in each of the four corners (doing one color at a time) you have
a droplet of polish. Take a toothpick and drag out the color in whatever
design you want. Repeat that with the other four colors.
Last step? Apply your top coat of course!
It's okay if you accidently get too much nail polish when you drop it.
It will dry flat. ;]

Sally Hansen Real Nail Polish Strips

Sally Hansen Salon Effects
Real Nail Polish Strips
Style: 340 Girl Flower

 I love these nail strips!
There are so many designs to choose from.
The nail strips are very easy to apply.
16 strips come in the box separated into 8 and 8.
I used only 5 strips for all 10 toes.
When you trim off the edge you can use the other side for the other toe (or nails if you are doing fingernails instead) if your nail beds are short enough.
So basically that's two uses in one box.
The cheapest place to get them in my area are at Wal*Mart... $8.50.
In my area Kmart has more options though... $9.00.
*** Also don't open them until are you ready to use them because they WILL dry out.

Nailene Nails

Nailene, Size Medium
I love the design on these nails.
It was my only reason for buying them.
I do not like long nails at all.
The length was annoying me so I actually cut them down a bit w/o
cutting the design and then filed them.
They still looked nice.
If you like long nails they will not be a problem though.
The only problem I had was finding sizes for a few of my fingers.
The thumb nails were overlapping a bit b/c the size down was too small.

KISS Nails!

These are Kiss Nails in Clear Pink, Real Short.
Kiss Nails are my absolute favorite.
I got these at Family Dollar for only $2.50!
Why so cheap?
The package comes with the 24 nails only.
No glue, no file, no cuticle stick.
If you are a nail fanatic you already have these things anyways.
Great find! I love these nails!

KISS Everlasting French Nails

06/26/2011

Kiss Everlasting French Nails
Real Short, Squared, Clear
I also added Kiss Nail Art
These nails lasted a long time I was very pleased
The only con was that on some of my fingers my real 
nail was visible b/c they were clear So I didn't really like that
Other than that these are beautiful And I have since purchased another box

Kiss 100 Full Cover Nails

06/18/2011

I bought these at WalMart for $5. ;]

They are white fake nails that you can paint yourself. 
Nail glue is included but I used Nailene's Ultra Quick Nail Glue instead.

I rolled up  piece of tape and taped each nail to a sheet of paper.
I painted each nail with Sally Hansen's "The Real Teal".
I used Art Deco in black for the stripes.
I used a silver glitter polish for the glitter on the stripes.
And of course I used OPI Nail Envy for the base and Sally Hansen Strengthening Top Coat.
The result?
Here it is!

Nail Art - Zebra Print!

I Love Zebra Print!
For the base colorI used a cheap 98 cent nail polish in "French Tip White".
 For the stripes I used an Art Deco polish in "Black". ;]
Base coat was of course OPI's Nail Envy and Top Coat was Sally Hansen Strengthening Top Coat!


Sally Hansen - Crushed

This color looked okay at first. Then I realized I'm not really a fan of orange.

PS. Love TAEBO!

Bare Nails - Yikes!

06/07/2011
My nails are getting really long!


Sally Hansen - Rockstar Pink

This color looks more purple-ish sometimes but I still love it. It's FULL of glitter!

Polka Dots!

Polka Dots are the easiest nail art!
Some people use toothpicks, dotting tools, art deco polishes, etc.
I find it easier to use a french tip pen. You can get ones that have a fine point. Mine wasn't fine point. But the edge was pointed so it still worked. ;]

Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Strips

05/17/2011

I didn't do the full set b/c I had purchased these months ago and opened then just to see what they looked like. Well when I went to do the manicure last night half of them were dried out (the ones that I had opened). So I did not have enough for a full set. But I still tried out the ones that worked. They were easy to apply. I like them.


Sinful Colors - Gorgeous

05/13/2011

This color was very pretty and shimmery the first day or two and then after that it was kind of dull. :/

Avon - Nailwear Pro - Viva Pink

05/04/2011

I love this Pink color!! :]

KISS Nail Art Stickers

04/11/2011

OPI - Thrill of Brazil - KISS Nail Art Stickers
 NYC Nail Color - Greenwich Village - KISS Nail Art Stickers

The nail art stickers were really cheap at Wal*Mart and very easy to apply. Paint your nails any color. Use tweezers to grab and place the stickers wherever you'd like. Apply your top coat. ;]

OPI - Teenage Dream



02/02/2011
02/02/2011
I'm not a fan of glitter...but...I put Teenage Dream on my ring finger and fell in LOVE. It was so pretty I had to do all my fingers with it. This manicure is OPI's "Make Love" with OPI's "Teenage Dream" over top of it. Base coat is OPI's Nail Envy and Top coat is Seche Vite of course. ;)

China Glaze - Fifth Avenue

01/18/2011
My hand looks huge in this picture but I am in love with this color. It's my new favorite. I ordered it from http://www.mbeautylounge.com/ 18 days ago and I just now received it. Ugh. It was worth the wait though. :) This is a cell phone pic but it actually shows the color quite well...google "China Glaze Fifth Avenue" for more swatches.

Love My Nails - Flirty Pink

01/03/2011

My nails were really long when I done this manicure. I miss my long nails but I was just getting annoyed with them since I have to type all day. I love this Pink color.

China Glaze - Bahamian Escape

01/10/2011
This is Bahamian Escape on my toes. I tried applying it on my fingernails but it was so thick and hard to apply so I didn't bother with it. Today is 01/18/2011 and still no chipping!
