Valentine's Inspiration (in April)

While I DID paint these nails around Valentine's Day 2 months ago, I'm posting it now. No one cares.

I had fun with heart rhinestones. Polish info below.

Base Coat: Orly Rubberized Basecoat

Nail Color: Zoya "Leslie"

Top Coat: Orly Polishield All-In-One Ultimate Topcoat

Zoya "Leslie" is a light pink shimmer that goes on very smoothly. I highly recommend it. And the name Leslie reminds me of Parks and Recreation. So it's good all-around.

I advise putting top coat over the rhinestones. Otherwise they'll all fall off in one day. Which happened to me. You live and learn.

Sincerely,

Lindsay

I'm back. With some glitter. Enjoy.

The title says it all.

I painted my nails with some gold glitter tips and an accent nail. Keeping it old-school. Info on the polishes used is below.

Base Coat: Orly Bonder Rubberized Basecoat

Nail Color: OPI "Ate Berries in the Canaries"

Glitter Color: Sephora by OPI "Only Gold For Me Topcoat"

Top Coat: Orly Polishield All-In-One Ultimate Topcoat

More pictures! Because why not.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

P.S. I also updated my header.

Sincerely,

Lindsay

Random Nail Art (just for fun)

So, what have I been up to since one year ago when I last posted a picture of my nails?  Well, unfortunately I haven't taken any photos of my nails except for a few recent ones!  So I'll show you the few that I have.
And eventually each design will get its own special, individual post.

It's Time To Revamp This Blog!

Now that I'm back in the blogosphere, I want to revamp this entire blog.

The plan is to update the entire look.  Modern new banner, new consistent layout, possibly a slightly different name.  And I'm thinking about expanding to other social media like Twitter and Instagram.  I want to be as interactive as possible.

So please be patient as the changes are made.  Thank you!

Oscars Nails and Julep Campaign

Cutting through the chase of "it's been a while" or "long time, no post", I would love to start blogging again.  I became lazy and then kept forgetting, and finally I stopped for a very long time.  

But today I received an email from Julep's Community Outreach Coordinator, Abbey. In a nutshell, she was telling me about getting a bunch of bloggers to share their thoughts about the manicures seen at the Oscars this Sunday. And this was the much needed catalyst to get me to make a post!

Big thanks to Abbey!

I'll be back with actual posts soon, and I want to get this blog up and running and even better than before.

Thank you so much to my followers who have stayed with me! I have some major catching up to do as far as getting back into the nail world, which includes reading other blogs! Leave me a link of your blog or a cool blog post in the comments and I'll definitely check it out!

GUESS WHO'S BACK!!

ME.

But in all seriousness.  For realsies.  I've been away from the nail world for about 6 months.  I haven't touched my blog or looked at other people's nail blogs at all.  And I've barely purchased any nail polish.     I don't know the current collections that are out or the popular colors.  I've been DEAD to the nail blogosphere.  But I've found inspiration.  And I'm BACK.

So.  I plan on changing the layout, playing around with colors, etc etc etc.  I did my nails for New Years Eve today so I'll post that tomorrow hopefully.  Maybe tonight if I feel ambitious.  :D

For Christmas I received some Ciaté and Butter London nail polish, which I've never had before and I'm in love!  So expect stuff, guys!

Green and Orange Tips!

Hello, Everyone!  I did these nails in February... I think?  Orange and Green are my school colors!  Woohoo for school spirit!  And woohoo for the semester almost being over.  

I used China Glaze "Life Preserver" for the orange and Essie "Going Incognito" for the green.

I got the straight, clean lines by using tape.  Simple. :)  And in case you didn't already know, Zoya is doing their Earth Day Promo again.  New to the nail world and don't know what that is?  Check out my post from yesterday. :)
