80s St. Patrick's Day Nails

Hey everyone! So.. I inadvertently created 80s-esque St. Patrick's Day nails. Now, I was going to remove them and try to make something more.. pretty.. but let's be real here: I love the 80s vibe. They get to stay!  I started by doing triangle chunks of colour - based off of a photo from IG. Then.. I was going to add a third colour of chunks, but went with glitter mini-stripes, and dots to top it all off. I just.. yup. I used: China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat Formula X White Matter China Glaze Treble Maker China Glaze Midnight Kiss Mrs. P's Potions Matcha Do About Nothing OPI Amazon...Amazoff Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat That is all for today - see you all again soon!

Illamasqua Milf

Hey everyone! Around Christmas time, I was in Winners, and found they had 2 bottles of Illamasqua polish. Wait, WHAT?! I legit did the electric slide back to the display of polish and quickly looked at the boxes. $4.99. Um, does Winners have any idea how much I paid to not only purchase an Illamasqua polish a year or two back, but to also ship it to me?! $4.99. I basically destroyed the display (very nicely, though) looking for any others, but there was just the two. One of them happened to be Milf, which is one I had wanted for a while - just didn't want to take the plunge in the purchase/wait to get it to me. The excitement was real. What is even better than that price tag, is the formulation. Dreamy. Amazing. It is real love. I know I did post these on IG, but I know I never posted about them here. So, here they are.

KL Polish Brick Sidewalk + Mrs. P's Potions Gold Never Bothered Me Anyway

Hey everyone! I am going to share a suuuuper simple mani featuring KL Polish Brick Sidewalk. I feel like I should do a full review post on KL Polish, but I feel like because they aren't "new" anymore, it would kind of be a waste? It wouldn't be a good review post, anyways. The only saving grace aka the only reason I bother using the polish at all, is that the colours are exquisite. But honestly, that is all I like about them. Huh, mini review right there. Anyways. ALSO - this mani is done using Mrs. P's Potions Gold Never Bothered Me Anyway, and that I do really, really like.  Ugh. That shade. It is so nice! Why can't you just be a nicer formula? And not smell horrible? And the brush not paint my whole finger. Guh.

Multi-coloured Gold Flake-y Goodness

Hey everyone! Ok, this will be the year of marble nails AND gold flake nails for me. I swear. I have to actually physically stop myself from doing something pertaining to either one all the time. Ooh, what if I mixed them together? YAS! All right, that is for another day. Unfortunately, I have no idea what was all used polish-wise to create these gems anymore. It's been a hot minute. I apologize. I do remember just smooshing (legitimate term) the polish with a stamper over white polish, then applying gold flakes. Cannot go wrong. Ok, that is all for today. See you all again soon!

Black Marble (sort of).

Hey everyone! -Insert gratuitous reasoning(s) of why I have been away- Ok, now that that is out of the way, hi! I just realized I still have a couple post photos stocked up. Sigh. I haven't even uploaded all that is currently living on my camera. The fear is real. That is for another day. Mayhaps this weekend. Until then. I think I said it at some point on my blog, but I feel like 2017 is going to be the year that I constantly do faux marble nails. Note: not watermarbling. I have given in to that failed activity far too many times . No, I mean the classy kind of marble. You know. This time, I did it in reverse, because, why not?  It counts, right? Ugh. I love it. I used: China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat Essie Licorice Formula X White Matter Acetone Brush Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat All right, that is all for today. See you all again soon (I promise).
