Graduation Nail Art

Hi everyone! I have an announcement to make, I have now officially graduated from high school! It's so great(although a little strange) being done, and now I finally have more time to blog, which you all probably know I needed..
Anyway, today i'm going to show you the nail art I did for the occasion.

My school colors are navy, white, and gold, so I chose to do simple white tips using Sinful Colors Snow Me White over Crayola Blueberry on my index, middle, and pinky finger, and Zoya Ziv over OPI Love.Angel.Music.Baby. on my thumb.

On my accent nail I made a graduation cap design using Nuance Black Dahlia for the cap and Zoya Ziv for the tassel. I think it's cute, and it was a fairly simple, fun design to make.

So, what do you think? Let me know in the comments! I'd love to hear from you! Also, if you graduated this year(or last year), and made nail art for the occasion, feel free to give me the link to the post! I want to see grad spirit! :)

Valentines Day..late again.

Hi everyone! Wow, valentines day really came and went quick this year! I spent the day with my family and..*ahem*..maybe waiting for a call from a certain someone. By the time I realized "Oh no! I haven't done a valentines day post!" It was over. Woops. Another ADHD moment on my part. So..I hope you'll accept it late!
Heres what I came up with :)

I used my new favorite polish, My Cherry Amour by Nicole by Opi. It's from the gumdrops collection, and I figured whats more perfect for valentines day then polish that looks like candy? I did a review on it recently. You should maybe check it out ;)
After that dried, I used a Nail Ritz shimmer nail art pen in pearlized white to make the x's and o's and used the orchid pen from the same set for the heart on my accent nail. I just want to say that these pens are the best things ever. Since i'm not very skilled with a nail art brush, these make it a lot easier for me to do nail art!
So anyway, so sorry for the late post. What was your valentines day like? :)

Happy Holidays!

Merry belated Christmas everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in a bit, been super busy with the holidays and all. Im currently at the hotel where my cousins wedding is going to be held, and I thought i'd post while I have a little bit of down time. I thought I'd take the opportunity to show you my christmas mani! I was going to something like that cute santa hat manicure ive seen a few times around the internet, but I was a bit short on time so I went with something simpler..

I used two coats of E.l.f Red-y or Not and added Sagreena the teenage witch across the tips. The red polish is extremely shiny and was just perfect for christmas! Also, you might notice a big change in photo quality, because I recieved a new camera for christmas! Yes, its good bye to crappy iphone pictures and hello to clear DSLR made pictures!
By the way, I thought i'd say that I took the pictures a whole week after I painted my nails and as you can see they still look great! I'm in love with the top coat I use! Ive gotten two weeks wear out of some manicures before while using it! It's Sally Hansen Insta Dry! You can easily spot the red bottle it comes in if anyone wants to go pick it up!
So anyway, ive got a TON of swatch pictures that i'll be posting soon, so stay tuned! In the meantime, tell me what you think! I'd love to hear anyones thoughts, ideas, or suggestions about what polishes youve liked, disliked, or what you want to see in the future! And as always, happy painting!
