Halloween Spider Web Nails!

Hello, Everyone! FINALLY I have some Halloween nail art for you.  Even though Halloween is in 3 days... :D  I saw this nail art on another blog and I knew I had to recreate it.

 Products Used:

• Seche Vite Base Coat
• China Glaze Life Preserver
• L.A. Colors Art Deco in Black
• Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat

And then after a few days wear, I didn't want to remove it, but I wanted to change it up a bit.  So in comes China Glaze Fairy Dust.

The sparkle factor looked awesome.  The pictures don't look that great.  But you'll have to take my word for it. :)

So, what are YOU dressing up for Halloween? And if so, what/who are dressing as?

NBCAM (National Breast Cancer Awareness Month) #8

Hello, Everyone!  It comes to an end with this post.  This is the last Breast Cancer Awareness manicure.  I used OPI The One That Got Away.  The color is more "pink" (berry pink) in person.  The pictures make it look red.

Products Used:

• Seche Vite Base Coat
• OPI The One That Got Away
• L.A. Colors Art Deco in White
• Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat

SO that's IT.  Even though October is almost over, I'll have for sure one Halloween manicure.  Which will probably be tomorrow's post. :)  And I'll probably have a post with a collection of all the NBCAM manicures.

Until then, make it a great day!

NBCAM (National Breast Cancer Awareness Month) #7

Hello, Everyone!  I'm getting toward the end of my NBCAM manicures.  This is the second to last post.  After these posts, I'm doing HALLOWEEN nails for the rest of October!  It has been a very themed month.  And then in November I'll be diving into the 30 Day Nail Art Challenge. :D

 Products Used:

• Seche Vite Base Coat
• OPI Sparrow Me the Drama (pink)
• China Glaze Concrete Catwalk (gray) 
• L.A. Colors Art Deco in White
• Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat

Even thought Concrete Catwalk looks brown in the pictures, it's a dark gray in real life.  It's an awesome color, from the pretty amazing China Glaze Metro Collection.  HIGHLY recommend the entire collection.  It's a total WIN in my book.

NBCAM (National Breast Cancer Awareness Month) #6

Hello, Everyone!  Here's the next installment of my Breast Cancer Awareness manicures.  Today you all get to see one of OPI's designer series nail polishes!  But the pictures are horrible becuase they
re taken under a lamp.  The sun decided to leave me for a few days. :( But nonetheless, here is OPI DS Extravagance.  

Products Used:

• Seche Vite Base Coat
• OPI DS Extravagance
• L.A. Colors Art Deco in White

NO TOP COAT USED.  

Yes, the polish is that shiny naturally!  I've noticed that all the OPI DS colors dry naturally REALLY shiny without a top coat.

The wear for this color is always great, even without a top coat.  And it stays super shiny for its entire wear.  The extra money is definitely worth it with this color.
Unfortunately NO SUN = NO HOLO.  So I couldn't get any good pictures.  But believe me when I say this color is gorgeous in the sun.

Products Used:

I... am tired.  And very busy.  Anyone else feel this way? Haha.

After my October Breast Cancer Awareness posts, when November starts I want to join in on the ever so popular 30 Day Nail Polish Challenge.

NBCAM (National Breast Cancer Awareness Month) #3

Hello, Everyone!  Here's the third installment of my NBCAM series!  This time I used Orly Purple Crush, which is actually a hot pink.  Go figure.

NBCAM (National Breast Cancer Awareness Month) #2

Hello, Everyone!  Here is another installment of my many pink manicures for October, which is National Breast Cancer Awareness month.  You are welcome to join me and wear pink polish (even if most bloggers, myself included, don't usually like to wear pink).

Products Used:

• Seche Vite Base Coat
• Zoya Addison
• OPI Teenage Dream
• L.A. Colors Art Deco: White
• Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat

I am in love with the Addison/Teenage Dream combination!  I would only wear Teenage Dream by itself, which required 3 coats for opacity, but with Addison underneath as a base, I only need one coat, and it looks great!

So I'm very happy about that. :D

I hope everyone enjoys their Wednesday.  Wow, is it Wednesday already?  Ok, well I have a Calculus exam to study for.  Ciao.

NBCAM (National Breast Cancer Awareness Month) #1

Hello, Everyone!  Now that I've started blogging again, I'm in the mood to blog more.  SO!  Here's is my first NBCAM (National Breast Cancer Awareness Month) manicure!

Products Used:

• Seche Vite Base Coat
• Zoya: Addison
• L.A. Colors Nail Art Deco: White
• Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat

A simple, yet elegant manicure.  I'm not the kind of person to wear colors like "Addison", but now that I've tried it, I really like it!  It's work-friendly, makes your nails looks clean, and it just looks pretty.  The phrase "Pretty in pink" keeps popping up in my head.

This week is insanely busy, but 2 of my classes have been cancelled.  So I guess it evens out. :D

Breast Cancer Awareness Month! Grab Your Pinks!

If you didn't know already, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! 

So!  I've decided to wear only pink polish for October!  Which meant I had to go through all my polish and scrounge out the "true pinks" I own, which isn't many.  So then I had to expand my definition of "pink".  I included a lot of fuchsias and magenta-pinks.  But I managed to get 15 different colors!  So I have lots of choices!  Which I will list below.  The picture above shows most of my pinks.

China Glaze:

Ahoy!

Awakening

Fifth Avenue

Strawberry Fields

OPI:

Ate Berries in the Canaries

DS Extravagance

Heart Throb

Sparrow Me the Drama

Teenage Dream

The One That Got Away

Orly:

Purple Crush

Zoya:

Addison
Harlow
Lindsay
Moxie

I'm still not sure what color I want to chose today.  But I'm about to remove my current nail polish (Zoya Yasmeen, an amazing purple).

Side Note: I know the last time I posted was over a month ago.  College is busy.  I know, no excuses! But I will for sure be consistent this month with all my pinks. :D
