Quick Update

Update: Life's still a little hectic for me and I'm trying to take my blog into a new direction, especially with a lot of the suggestions. Thank you to those who have gave me in their input and opinion which I'm definitely taking into consideration. I use a Sony Cyber Shot camera, not that good but I've had it for more than 2 years, on Saturday it will mark 3 years for my camera. I want to get a better camera, but I simply don't have the money but I'm definitely going to try saving, which is a hard thing for me to do. :\ School's crazy even though I only go to school 3 days a week (2 full days really and 1 class on Friday). I have an exam tomorrow so I'm just going to cram this post in.

I haven't gotten to use the suggestions but here is a swatch for you ~ I know you're probably tired of swatches, but I feel like I'm slacking off considering the past 3 posts are not really nail related except for the giveaway.

Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear Purple Fiesta.

It's a limited edition polish that I picked up at Duane Reade. It's a burgundy shimmer with glitters. The swatch is 2 coats and no top coat. I really like this one because the color is different. It's like a light red/purple brown. :P

I hope to post more often as soon as I'm used to my newish schedule.

hope you enjoyed and don't forget to enter into my giveaway!

Featured Nails

Today I will post about nails, obviously, but not mine! :P My cousin Pauline came in last week for a few days to celebrate with the rest of my family for my grandmother's birthday. And of course, knowing I love nail polish and seeing my personal Facebook nail album, she wanted me to do them. So today's nails and toes will be called "featured nails" where sometimes/rarely I will post nails not of my own nails but what I did for my family. I've only done nails for my family; my two cousins and my mom (but I only do her toes).

Pauline wanted rainbow toes ;P However, this process took very long to decide which colors! And luckily my mom helped her out. I added glitter stars on her big toes but some of them came off during the night. Can you guess which colors they are? (answers are at the bottom of this post if you give up!)

For Pauline's nails, she picked out Wet N Wild's Tickled Pink (2 coats) and then I used some nail stickers on her ring and thumb nails which has a bow, one rhinestone and one pearl. I also lined the ends of her nails with silver glitter for the other nails.

- Essie Dramatic Drachmas (2 coats)
- Wet N Wild Dream Poppy (2 coats)

- Wet N Wild Blazed (2 coats)

- Wet N Wild Sunny Side (2 coats)

- OPI Banana Bandanna (3 coats)

- Essie Pretty Edgy (2 coats)

- Brucci Gianna's Rockin Blue (2 coats)
- Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Calypso Blue (2 coats)

- China Glaze Flying Dragon (2 coats)
- Confetti Belle of the Ball (2 coats)

Purrrrple Round 2

This is the last purple, I swear! I'll post up a comparison of the purples to see which ones are similar because after I bought them and was reorganizing my nail polishes, I was surprised because I kept forgetting that I bought a dark purple polish already! :(

Sephora by OPI Just A Little Dangerous. dark purple with purple shimmer. 2 coats and no top coat.

Sephora by OPI It's Bouquet With Me over Sephora by OPI Just A Little Dangerous. clear based purple and silver round glitters. 1 coat over Just A Little Dangerous & no top coat

which purple did you like more?

Purrrrple

Today's a swatch + nails day. :) I've thought about my collection and I realized that I didn't have any dark purples (excluding Catrice Poison Me, Poison You because this was before I got it). And so I found myself picking up a bottle of this Essie (below) at the nail supply store.

Essie Sexy Divide

deep purple shimmer. The swatch is 2 coats and no top coat. Very beautiful and easy to apply. LOVE IT!

This is Essie Sexy Divide and Revlon Glitters Star. Star is a clear base with purple and silver glitters. This definitely reminds me of stars and the night sky! :P

My Favorite: Dots

I did these when my nails were long, which was a while ago. I haven't gotten around to posting these and other swatches because there are more important updates haha. :)

Again, design credits to Pan; I think I really like doing this when I don't feel creative. :P

The base for my ring finger is Essie Playa Del Platinum (2 coats), which I finally got my hands on and I love it. The dots are Essie Splash of Grenadine, OPI Alpine Snow and OPI You're Such A Kabuki Queen. I used a dotting tool to make the dots :)

The other nails are Essie Splash of Grenadine (2 coats).

we can do this! 5 more followers ;) until giveaway♥

hope you enjoyed,
