Crackled Anchors

Hey everyone! I've been a little busy with school work and I'm still trying to enter in all the entries because there's a lot more entries than I expected :P Currently, my nails are nubbins because I've been having a lot of breaks a lot so I cut them short. But in the meanwhile, I have a lot of nail pictures backed up so I'll be posting them in the meanwhile. :) Although you've probably seen them before, I hope you'll still enjoy :)

First is China Glaze Anchors Away Collection, I only got some of the collection, not all :P
* I believe everything was two coats, but maybe 3 for white cap. :)
1. Ahoy!
2. First Mate
3. Pelican Gray
4. Seafoam Spray
5. Starboard
6. White Cap

Then I added China Glaze Crackle Collection over them
7. Ahoy! + Lightning Bolt
8. First Mate + Crushed Candy
9. Pelican Gray + Fault Line
10. Seafoam Spray + Broken Hearted
11. Starboard + Cracked Concrete
12. White Cap + Black Mesh

Then I did another Anchors Away + Crackle combinations
13. Ahoy + Black Mesh
14. First Mate + Fault Line
15. Pelican Gray + Cracked Concrete
16. Seafoam Spray + Crushed Teal
17. Starboard + Lightning Bolt
18. White Cap + Broken Hearted


Hope you enjoyed & happy polishing :)

Catching Up

This is the last post before my giveaway ends in a little over 1 hour and a half. This is from a while back which I haven't been able to post and a lot of stuff is backed up but I'm trying! I'll probably show them off later since my nails are short again... wah! stupid work! >:(

Anyways, this is 1 coat of China Glaze White Cap over 2 coats of Seafoam Spray then 1 layer of top coat. WHAT A BEAUTY AM I RIGHT?! And I just had to show off my rings that day :) My 'love' and cheetah rings are one of my favorite rings!

Nautical

Using my nails from the previous post, I decided to do a nautical theme mani. but this is my first time doing it and I haven't practiced really so don't hate on my nails! ^______^;



So all I did was add stripes to my nails & added an anchor on my middle finger (which looks crappy) with Kiss Nail Art Paint in White

Current Nails + Picture

Today's finally a nail post! This is my current nails right now (I just took a picture with my phone). I hope you enjoy but I'm also planning on doing some nail art, which I haven't thought of anything yet but hopefully it will come to me!


This is 2 coats of China Glaze First Mate and 1 layer of top coat. My accent (ring) nail is OPI Simmer & Shimmer, displayed is 2 coats and 2 layer of top coat. =) 

And here's a picture of my baby cousin. After I took a picture of her she kept saying "mile. mile" (her way of saying smile - to take a picture, because she can't say smile lol). The stuffed animal is called Piyo Piyo and I gave that to her since I had too many stuffed animals from when I was younger.


Hope you enjoyed & don't forget to enter into my giveaway!

From the Vault

Today's post is a favorite from the vault, at first I thought the pictures I took were crappy, which some were.. since they were a bit blurry. But I found 1 good picture and it makes me reminisce about my long nails. I'm getting there! Unfortunately as I was running today to catch the train to work, my favorite ring fingernail on my left hand broke on the side! I had to shave it down a bit. But I definitely didn't want to chop all my nails, or I'd get sad again lol. I think long nails makes me happy :)

China Glaze Rainstorm
It's a cornflower blue type (similar to Essie Lapis of Luxury) with blue microglitters. You can't see the microglitters clearly but it's kind of subtle rather than the "in your face" glitters. :P I believe this was either 2-3 coats and 1 layer of top coat.

Hope you enjoyed & happy polishing!~
