Nail Art Ideas & Decals

(Images from Lockerz.com)

I love nail art! Not that I can accomplish it but I think it looks super cool. These are some looks that I would definitely love on my nails! I'm always keeping my eyes out for nail decals, below are some that I've found.

1. An Etsy store called Made By Munchie's Mama they have neat decals for a really good price.

2. Another Etsy store called Inspired Nails.

3. Sally Hansen's nail strips which have a wide variety.

Pastel Marble Nail Tutorial

This is my tutorial on how achieve marble nails. 

This time around it didn't work but I did the same thing when I tried it before and got great results.

I Finally Did Nail Art!

(Try to ignore the weird discolouration on my thumb.)

I finally did it, I accomplished nail art! I'm aware it looks really simple but it was quite complicated. So I based it off this nail tutorial on YouTube (click here if you want to watch). I first applied Sally Hansen's Lacey Lilac then with a Q-Tip I applied Nicole by O.P.I's Positive Energy. To finish it off I applied a top coat by Sula. I also came to a conclusion that before you start doing nail art make sure you can open the nail polish bottle you want to use next because I couldn't get some open so I had to change which colour I was going to use. Then again, maybe that's just my weak self.

Spring Nail Polish

These are some nail polishes that I plan to wear a lot this spring. Here are their names from left to right; Sally Hansen's Lacey Lilac, Revlon's Jaded, Essie's Guchi Muchi Puchi, Nicole by O.P.I.'s Rich In Spirit, and L'oreal's Party Hop. I love the pastel tones excluding the blue one of course. The thing they all have in common is the bright fun effect the spring gives off.

Sorting Through

Isn't it weird how you sometimes buy a $10 bottle of nail polish but only wear it twice. I was sorting through my small collection and realized I have a lot of random colours from a long time ago. They're all Sally Hansen 'cause thats what I bought when I first started using nail polish. 

The yellow one goes on really well, the rich purple and sparkley orange apply alright, but the black takes a few coats. For the most part I like Sally Hansen, it's just that they chip and they're hard to take off with nail polish remover. Because they are hard to take off I haven't worn them in awhile, I should really sort through my things more often!

Patriotic Polish

It's Canada day! I know I should be wearing red to be patriotic and all that but I don't like wearing it because the colour is too bold. Instead of wearing a piece of clothing that is red you could opt for a red nail polish. I really like Sally Hansen's Insta-Dri in the colour "Sonic Bloom". The colour in this line go on beautifully but they don't last very long so they're perfect for a one day wear. This is actually one of my only red nail polishes because I'm not that fond of them but I like this one because it's sorta a pinky red. 

Hope everyone had a great Canada Day!

Lilac Lover

 I love spring colours like baby blues and light pinks but my favourite is light purple. So when I was given this lilac coloured nail polish for my birthday I was thrilled. It's called "Lacey Lilac" and it's made by Sally Hansen. Normally I don't like Sally Hansen's polishes because they don't go on smooth and they always chip but this polish went on really smooth it also hasn't chipped yet. I find that the colour of this polish is also very Eastery.

You know what's also Eastery, is flowers and as a birthday card I got this plant me card which I think is a really cute idea. You can get them in tons of different styles too! 

Hope you like this post whether you're one of those people who likes to do their nails or if you're the kind of person who likes to be outside in the garden. 

P.S Just to let you know, I'm going to put Wednesday's Words on pause for a while because I've realized that there aren't that many songs about lip gloss and lip stick but I'm planning on adding something else so stay tuned.

Cute Things Happen In 3's

So, today is Blue Monday the most depressing day of the year, and being the coldest day of the year doesn't make it any better. To make myself feel better I was going to do my nails and while looking through my nail polish collection I realised I had 3 of the same colour, courtesy of the holidays. People say bad things come in 3's but when it comes to nail polish, that is SO not bad!

The O.P.I. one is named Teal The Cows Come Home, ( I really question that ) the 60 Seconds one is called Green With Envy, and the Sally Hansen one doesn't seem to have a name. Hopefully this cute colour will lighten up the day and add a sparkle to it.
