C is for Cookie! And It's Good Enough For Me!

"Oh Cookie, Cookie, Cookie starts with C!" says one of our favorite monsters ever. :) When I was younger, I loved watching Sesame Street on PBS -- I have to admit though that Elmo's World was my favorite part. ;)

With all this Jolie Polish swatching, I needed to take a break and so some nail art so I begged friends on Instagram to do a nail collab with me. xD Luckily, Jennifer from LacqueredMama stepped up and we settled on a #maniswap! ;)

Cookie Monster Nails

I'm Fine With Fall!

Jenna finally has some time for some nail art! <3 Yippeeee! ;D I literally haven't done nail art since my birthday which was 2 weeks ago.. I'm a little out of practice.. But I still wanted to start to celebrate the autumn months with you all. :) So I created some leaf nails!

P is for Paint Drip

P is for Paint Drip.

 

Mooohahahaha! It's the sliiiiiiime! ;) Hey guys! I'm proud to show you all my first successful paint drip mani. This whole drip nail thing was a big fad in 2012 but I finally took the time to try it for myself and I'm looooving the results. :)

 

O is for Orange

O is for Orange Nails.

 

That's right. ;) I'm FINALLY continuing my ABC Nail Art Challenge! I am so sorry for the long break but school has been crazy and my inspiration has been low. :( I have found my inspiration for O nails though! And as you can probably guess, they are orange but they're not your typical "orange nails". xD

 

And taaa-daaah! I wasn't kidding! They are orange nails! Of course I have to credit my inspiration to this adorable little pumpkin charm that one of my friends', Grace, made me! Check out her website tiniestworksofart.storenvy.com for more cute creations or her Instagram @tiny_works_of_art :)

Chevron it Out

I have this newfound thing for chevrons! Well.. actually I've had it for a while but haven't had the guts to try it on my nails yet. So I decided it was about time to try it out and this is what I ended up with. :) I don't know about you but I am actually loving this design on short nails! <3

 

N is for Newspaper Nails

N is for Newspaper Nails! This is going to be a super short post but keep reading if you're interested in learning how to make your own newspaper nails. ;)

L is for Leopard

Wooooooah.... One of the busiest weeks of the year is now done! ;) Sorry about being absent for a while! I haven't done my nails for FIVE days bahaha. I wore my favorite pink OPI Bubble Bath the entire time. :) But now it's time to continue my alphabet nail art challenge!

 

Today I have for you Leopard Nails (& a leopard nail tutorial). I wanted to do something more fun but I'm a little out of practice so I decided to stick with something easy. :)

 

I'm With The Lifeguard by China Glaze

I did NOT want to skip out on my swatch for Sunday's Swatch but I still haven't taken off my neon tribal nails that I did yesterday. ;) I didn't have enough time to ask in a guest blogger (shame on me) but I decided to just use the next best thing -- pictures of a swatch that I never had time to post. Perfect! Haha, so say hello to I'm With The Lifeguard (IMTL) by China Glaze. This is an AMAZING green neon polish that you all need in your lives. ;) I have NO undies underneath (like no white), this is just 4 plain coats of IMTL with Seche Vite on top. Many neon polishes tend to dry matte and need several THIN coats. :)

 

Neon Zebra Nails

I am so bad.. I studied, studied, and studied today for that pesky SAT but I rewarded myself with doing my nails since I did finish my Senior Project Proposal! Whooo hooo! :D I have 1 major thing done, only 3 more to go. >.< But hey guys! Happy Memorial Day! Take a look on my super quick mani I have for you today -- NEON ZEBRA NAILS!!!

 

Classic Chevron

Hey, hey! No tutorial today but I just wanted to show you how adorable my chevron nails came out ;) Or should I say chevron accent nail? Anyway, I'm not sure who "created" the look, but it's very popular out there in the nail world! xD I mean take a loo at these, aren't they super classy?! I do have to give credit to Selenadee_Nails for first inspiring me to try the pink and glitter combo out. Do continue reading for more picture spam and info on how I did this mani! <3

 

One of my favorte manicures. :)

Say hello to Yellow Polka Dot Bikini by China Glaze. :) Take a look at this beauty! Keep on reading for some more picture spam. (Oh.. and also picture spam of my tennis balls. ;))

 

Flower Power!

Ahem... before we even begin... I HAVE HAD THESE NAILS ON FOR FIVE DAYS!!! Yeah, 5 whole days. I swear... this is a record for me. I haven't kept any nail polish or art on for more than 3 days generally. But anyho, I just got so busy this week that I couldn't take these nails off. Wait. You ask what do they look like? Bahahahaha. Look below. ;)

 

Dawwwwwww! Aren't these flower nails so pretty?!?! Okay. Maybe since I did them, that's the only reason why I think they are. :/ I don't know, I really, REALLY loved them though!

 

Keep on reading for just a couple more pictures. :)

Present Nails Tutorial

 AHHHHH! I finally finished a tutorial for these gift wrapped nails! A lot of ladies on Instagram  asked me how I did the last present nails I did, but they were more Chrismas themed. :) I decided this time to make a tutorial, but to use different colors to show that these nails are adorable for ANY time of the year! So go ahead and take a look below at these adorable gift wrapped nails and if you're interested, keep reading for the tutorial! :D
