Funky Flowers

Hello! I got today's manicure from some scrapbook paper. I thought it was really fun so I wanted to recreate it on my nails. It's a different sort of floral because the flowers are like spiky. I think it turned out pretty neat though.

The base is Xtreme Wear White On. The flowers are Zoya Flora, and Xtreme Wear Fuchsia Power. The leaf things are Essie Power Clutch and the polka dots are Navigate Her.

It's My Birthday!

 Hi! My last post was a bit depressing, but I'm glad to say that this one is quite the opposite. Today was my birthday!! I say "was" because it's nearly midnight. I haven't ever really done any birthday nail art, so I thought why not! I painted candles sitting on a cake! No, I'm not 12. Some of the candles are a bit wonky because I painted this really quickly, but candles can melt weird, so I can play it off. Now that the day is nearly over, I can say that it was another successful birthday!

The base is Zoya Julie. The cake is Zoya Blu. The candles are Xtreme Wear Green With Envy, Fuchsia Power, and Pacific Blue. The flames are Xtreme Wear Mellow Yellow and Sun Kissed.

My Bunny Pichu

Hi guys. So this post is bit upsetting for me. On the 7th my very first rabbit Pichu passed away. She had been sick for a couple of days before hand, but her health seemed improving the day before her passing. This was very upsetting for me, as I loved her dearly, and I had really hoped she would make it through. For my manicure today I wanted to do something in memory of her. I painted her on my two nails and on the others I did orange polka dots because she loved papaya treats. The base I used is Zoya Neely and the orange is Arizona, the rest was just a mix of colors.

                                 Rest In Peace Pichu, I love you and I'll miss you immensely.

Pinwheel

Hi! I've been meaning to do some sort of swirl design since around Christmas, when the peppermint candy swirl was going around. I finally got around to doing it, but I decided to go with more spring like colors, since it's finally getting warmer around here. I used Zoya Neely, Julie, Gie Gie, and Orly Lemonade. This manicure just made me thing of pinwheels.

China Glaze Modify Me

Hi! Today I am wearing a polish from the China Glaze Tranzitions collection. This collection includes six polishes that change from one color to another when a clear coat of nail polish is applied on top. It's a pretty neat concept. The one that I am currently wearing is called Modify Me. Modify Me starts out as a periwinkle that, when the topcoat is applied, turns into a darker royal blue. Both colors are nice, but I especially love the darker color. I got a lot of compliments on it too! With these polishes you can change the color of an entire nail, or even do some designs! It's important to apply an even amount of clear coat though, because the color change depends on how much there is. I used two coats of this polish and the formula was normal. The only bummer about these polishes is that I like the topcoat-less color, but I'm not usually thrilled with how polishes look without topcoat.

Spring Braid

Hello! Today I have a braid manicure! I was trying to think up a design I could do using these three colors and then a braid finally came to mind. These are really easy to do, I don't even use a nail art brush. I think the most difficult part about these manicures is keeping each line straight, and the sections even. It's also a bit time consuming because you have to wait for each line to dry before you can apply the next, but I usually love the end result, so it's worth it! I used only Essie, Navigate Her (green), Haute As Hello (orange), and Cute As A Button (pink).

China Glaze Whirled Away

Hello! Today's post is from early December. As the holidays approached I just ended up forgetting about this post. Theses photos feature China Glaze Whirled Away from the Cirque Du Soleil: Worlds Away collection. Whirled Away has long black bar glitter, medium black hex glitter, and large white hex glitter. The glitters are big, so you have to place them onto the nail, which is a bummer. This polish is pretty unique for China Glaze, and it looks neat if you're willing to put in the work to get the glitters on. I layered it over Zoya Shelby, Color Club Disco Dress, Zoya Arisona, and Color Club Age Of Aquarius.
