Oh Bunny, you're darn adorable♥

Today, I PRESENT TO YOU A NAIL ART POST! YAY! I know you all have been craving for nail art and I finally got inspired to do something after looking over my folder of nail art. I had tons of fun with this too.

First my mani was OPI Dating a Royal. I used 2 coats of DAR. You can see my nail broke on the side of my ring finger <:( boo. The formula was a bit water-y in my opinion for a creme, which surprised me but I totally dig the color! (excuse my lingo :P)



Next, for my other fingers (excluding ring) I used China Glaze Dorothy Who (1 coat) over it and then 1 coat of Seche top coat. For my ring finger I made a BUNNY! :) Isn't it adorable? This was my first attempt at a bunny and trust me, it came out the best the FIRST time and not the second or third time, odd.. But anyways I used OPI Alpine Snow for the white bunny, Wet N Wild Tickled Pink for the bunny's ears and nose and LA Colors Black Nail Art for the eyes. Then you wait a while for it to try because trust me you don't want to put top a few seconds later or else you'll smear your nail art. This happened to me a lot so wait a "considerable" amount of time before you apply so it doesn't smear and you have pretty darn cute nail art! =)

Tomorrow is the last day to enter my giveaway, which ends at 11:59 EST (NYC). So hurry and enter in! :)

hope you enjoyed,

PS: I've got it on slow picture tutorial (I'm not good with speaking on video) for those who want to try this! :)

20 Candles On My Cake

Today's another swatch day from the vault. Sorry don't kill me for not posting up nail art. I've been meaning to but I have no sparks of creativity and it's been like this x____x;


OPI 20 Candles On My Cake (black label)
it's like a light reddish pink mahogany creme, kind of hard for me to explain x_X but the picture explains it all! The swatch is 2 coats and 1 coat of top coat. I got this from a blog sale and I wanted to try an OPI black label. I love this color and teh application was easy peasy! :) The swatches were taken with indirect sunlight.

What's your favorite OPI label? Or what have you tried or what do you want to try?
My giveaway ends in 3 more days! Hurry and enter in!!!

Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous

Hello :) Today's a picture of my current manicure. Sorry this mani is 2 days old though. I haven't thought of any nail design to do on it since it's so shiny and shimmery. But I will definitely come up with something!

OPI Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous
a shimmery charcoal and silver foil. From the Swiss Collection. The mani is 2 coats of LLM and 1 coat of Seche top coat. Only a small slight sign of fading at the nail ends but not very noticeable. :) I love this color and it's so shimmer and eye catching ;).

Don't forget to:
1. Enter into my giveaway, 4 more days!!
2. I'm still taking Ruffian manicures pictures for a Ruffian mani post featuring different bloggers. Just write me an email with your blog url, what polishes you used & attach pics of your Ruffian mani! :)

Midnight Blues

Hello everyone! :) I hope you all had a great day today and sorry for posting so late! ><

Today is a recent swatch picture I did to show my secondary color of my Ruffian manicure better.

Duri Midnight Ride
sapphire blue with silver and orange/pink glitter. The swatch is 2 coats and 1 coat of Seche top coat. It applied nicely and it was only a little bumpy from the glitter but the top coat evens it out. :) The color is freaking amazing!!!!♥
