Bright Nails for the summer:D

Hiiiii!! :D

The past few weeks I have been sporting some  bright nails, and I have to say I love it! Many people may not necessarily like these statement nails, but personally, I think they are so fun especially with the weather just starting to get nice!

The four I have used this past month are the Quo by Orly nail polishes in Femme Fatale  and Jawbreaker (my absolute favourites), Essie's Cute as a button, and Revlons' wild card.

The two Quo nail polishes are beautiful neon shades and I think they are just so amazing!! First of all they last a long time, which I think is important in a bright nail polish since chips are much more noticable. The formula of these nail polishes is phenomenal! They are such pretty summery shades and they do make you look more tanned than you are. I also think they look awesome with the revlon matte topcoat.

Cute as a button is a gorgeous pinky colour and it was one of my favourites last summer as well. It's not as BAM in your face as the Quo polishes , and it doesn't last as long , but it's beautiful nonetheless.

Excuse the horrible picture and the one white nail, But this is a photo from a previous blog post showing cute as a button:)


And finally, Revlon's colourstay gel envy polish in wild card is a gorgeous royal blue. Again , it's not as bright and neon as the quo polishes , but it is the perfect blue for summer in my opinion. It's not too dark , and it is beautiful. This also lasts a long time on the nails. Now sadly I did not take a picture of this on my nails, so I apologize for that. But you'll just have to take my word for it! It's amazing!

Let me know what bright nail colours you've been loving! I hope you all have a wonderful day, wherever you are, an are enjoying the lovely weather!

Hot pink!

Hiiiii! :)
Sorry I haven't really blogged recently but I went away with my family for a week to a cottage. It was a lovely vacation, and I'm sad it had to end. Although it is nice getting to sleep in my own bed.
Anyways,  I have FINALLY painted my nails again. I actually have had nothing on my nails for like two weeks so I decided I should put something on. I chose a really bright pink colour. It's Zoya's Lola, and it is just such a gorgeous colour!

Plus I got a new ring today as well which I am quite pleased with:P
Well that is all for now, I hope you all have a fantastic day!

Cool Stripes

Hiiii! :)
I was a little bored this afternoon so I decided to do my nails again, but instead of just painting them normally I wanted to try something different. About a year ago I bought a cheap pack of paint brushes to use on my nails. Normally I just used the thinner ones to make simple designs, but I recently came across a nail design that uses a fan brush. One of those brushes came in the pack I bought but I didn't know what to use it for so I just ignored it. When I finally found something I could use it for I was very excited.
Fan Brush
Pacific Blue, Mint Sorbet and Pink Lingerie
First, I did the base coat in Sally Hansen's Mint Sorbet, and then the horizontal stripes were done in Sally Hansen's Pacific Blue and Revlon's Pink Lingerie. I simply dipped the fan brush into the pink first and swiped across horizontally from the left and right side of the nail. I then did this with the blue polish.
 The good thing about this is that it's so easy to do and it looks sick! I'm glad that I gave it a go and I will definitely be trying this design with different colours.
 Feel free to leave any thoughts below  and I hope you all have a fantastic day! :)

Manicure Monday

Hiiii :)

     Since today is Monday, I think it is only fitting that I show you my newly painted nails. Once again it is nothing special, I just think they are pretty and want to share them with you! I actually painted them last night, but let's just pretend I did them this morning ;)

     Before I did my nails this time I used a sugar hand scrub from Bath and Body Works that I haven't had a chance to use yet. It smells so wonderful! I am awful at describing scents but here goes.... it was very sweet and I believe it is like a grapefruit scent. It's just s delicious, plus it made my hands feel very soft! I like it a lot and will definitely use it a lot!
 I love watching movies when I do my nails, so my sister and I watched Enchanted. I hadn't seen it in a while and  I forgot how cute it is! I felt inclined while watching this film to paint my nails like a princess. This means sparkles and pretty colours.  I decided to paint my nails a shimmery gold colour with a thin sparkly pink layer on top. These two polishes combined create a rose gold colour that is really lovely. It looks very pretty in the sun as the light captures the shimmer and sparkles. I used Sally Hansen's "Golden-I" with OPI's "Teenage Dream" (Katy Perry).
     

     I was pleased with the final result, and it was nice to finally paint my nails since it had been a while! Of course after I took this picture I ruined some of the nails not long after but what can you do!! :)
I hope you all have a lovely day wherever you may be!

Cute As A Button

Hiii:)
I have this little obsession with nail polish that usually begins every spring and lasts until school begins again. I absolutely love buying all the different colours and painting my nails. I think my nail painting skills have definitely improved with the amount that I paint them :) I tend not to do my nails as often in the winter months because school, hockey and other activities keep me busy and there is simply not enough time. Although I love doing my nails it is a tedious task as I hate waiting for them to dry. I always seem to chip them not long after as well which is kind of my own fault!

Anyways, today I did my nails and I wanted to share it with you as the colour I used is one of my favourites at the moment.
 There are two colours on my nails at the moment but the pinky coral one is my favourite. I hadn't had a chance to try the white one and I figured these colours went nicely together. I wouldn't really call the white nail polish "sparkly" but there is a definite shimmer in it. It didn't really turn up great in the picture although the second picture captures it a bit. I do really like this one as well but the coral is just amazing! Every time I wear it someone compliments me on it. It lasts for a good amount of time and I think it is perfect for this season. I just got it about a month or two ago and I have already worn it three times. I just think it is soooo pretty:)
     The pink-coral colour is called "cute as a button" (essie) and the shimmery white is "It's All About the Glam"(Nicole by OPI). These nail polishes can be expensive sometimes but I was able to get both of these on sale at a very good price. I am very happy with both of these polishes. 
Feel free to leave any thoughts below, and I hope you all have a wonderful day! :)
