Kawaii Star and Moon Nails

I am in love with these kawaii star and moon nails. You could say I'm over the moon actually (pun intended). ;) They were 100% inspired by the lovely Mina over at Cubbiful. You can check out her original star and moons nails here. :) Please keep reading to view more of these super cute guys!

Okay? Okay.

"Maybe 'okay' will be ours always." 

- The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

It's official you guys -- I have cried with one of my best girl friends in a movie theater for the first time and you can probably guess what we watched. </3 After several requests on Instagram and also having my friend make me go to this movie with her, I decided it was time to do The Fault in Our Stars (FIOS) inspired nails. Don't worry you guys, I won't be spoiling anything in this post so feel free to keep reading!

The Fault in Our Stars Inspired Nails

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! ;)

Classic Chevron Nails (+ Tutorial)

Hey everyone! It's my first time ever using tape to create chevron nails. :D This chevron pattern is one of the most popular patterns going around these days and it's personally one of my favorites. ;) I'm sure most have you have seen this design float around Instagram and on Pinterest but I wanted to try it out for myself. :) Keep reading to view more photos plus watch a video tutorial that I created!

I 'Lime' Tribal

Yippee for green nail polish! <3 As a blogger, holidays can be really stressful because people are always asking for 'holiday themed' posts! But once the holiday is over *cough cough.. we just had Valentine's Day cough*, you feel free again! ;) I'm tired of using girly pinks so you may notice that I am on a green binge --  I hardly ever get to use my green nail polishes so it's time to pull them out. :) (And as I'm writing this, I literally just realized that St.Patrick's Day is coming up... shoot. I thought I was being original..)

 

If you're loving my green tribal nails, keep reading to view more photos! ;D And take a small note of that sad thumb nail; you aren't going to see it again. I didn't like how it turned out and was too lazy to redo it hahaha!

My Nails Match My Case!

Wooooah! Sorry guys for the short break in blogging but life got so busy! Basically, in the last week I went shopping with my family before classes start again, wrote a ton of essays for scholarships, and finally got registered for this semester. Stressed doesn't even begin to describe my state right now. >.< But I finally had time to do my nails, so take a look below! :) This manicure was inspired by my new iPod 5 case that I made using a kit sent to me by Neneyuyulexiesupplie. Keep reading to see the entire case and more photos of my girly nails. ;) I love the case and my nails. xD 

 

Disturbia By Wet n Wild

Okay guys. I know that I promised that I get back to swatching the polishes I was supposed to swatch but for me, I take some huge consideration in the colors that I use as undies... Sooo, while I was beginning to swatch some vraiment jolie Jolie Polishes, I tried out this new polish that I've had since my 16th birthday and I'm kind of in love. (By the way, that was 'only' a year ago but when I say it like THAT, it makes it sound a lot older than it really is. xD) Say hello to Wet n Wild Disturbia!

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 :)

Wet n' Wild Pop Art Collection Swatches

Hellooooo! I did not forget my promise to swatch the entire new, limited edition, Wet n' Wild Pop Art Craze Collection for you today on Swatch Sunday. :) Like I said before, I bought this entire collection at Shopko a few days ago because my Walgreens didn't have it. :/ That's okay though! I bought mine for the same price that Walgreens was having their Wet n' Wild polishes. ;) So if you're interested in learning more about this new summer collection, then keep reading!

Flowers & Stripes

Tehehe.. I love it when you have those days when your nail art not only turns out, but also turns out better than expected! <3 So today I'd like to show you my flower and stripe nails I did last night. :) I was super excited to get photos this morning! I was inspired by @selenadee_nails on Instagram who was inspired by Mod Nails. ;) I definitely changed up the original look but I love they way they did flowers with black and white stripes. :D Keep reading for more photo spam and figure out what polishes I used!

 

Penguin Mini Tutorial

It's crazy having so much free time! Actually, it's not even free time... I am busy, busy, BUSY with getting my senior project done along with getting caught up again with my online PE class. (Haha, yeah, let's not question about the online PE. I need to start writing my papers because they're due next week! XD) But for the first time since who knows when (okay, probably like December), I am finally practically stress free! :D It's crazy insane, I know, but seriously. I am as chill as a cucumber now and I'm excited to show you all how to create your own penguin manicure!

Not the best picture of how my penguins turned out but let's just say I hated them so much that I took them off right after I finished them... ;) They looked good in real life! I was just stupid and gave them neon bowties so when I actually took photos of them, the bowties don't really show up that well. So sorry! :/

Happy Valentine's Day! (& large heart tutorial)

<3 Happy Valentine's Day Ladies! :D

I just want to show you guys my simple Valentine's Day nails that I settled for! ;) (I mean I've done at least 5 different type. xD ;)) Hehe, here are mine for today! Just a simple "LOVE" with a heart replacing the "O". Tee-hehe! Aren't I clever? ;) <3
Well, if you'd like to learn how to make your own heart nails with NO TOOLS (besides the brush already in your nail polish bottle), then continue reading!

Faces in Cool Places

That's right. Faces in some pretty cool places. ;) (aka my nails hahaha). My mom actually has been giving me a lot of recommendations on what to put on my nails. xD Silly, I know, but a lot of her ideas are actually pretty cute. ;) She told me one day that she'd like to see text faces on my nails. Lol.. what? Texting faces? Yup, those smiley faces that you make while you text (or blog). So, that's what I have for you today! Take a look at these super adorable nails. :)

 

Hahaha see?! They're literally texting faces on my nails! Gee Mom, you come up with some great ideas I do have to say... And take a look at my awesome (yet lame) phone. ;) It's just a Pantech Pursuit II but I love the keyboard and the colors, green and black, so it works. :) Anyway! Back to the nails. Continue reading for more pictures! :)

I Love Moo!

Hehe.. I love moo! Oh how cheesy but perfect for this upcoming holiday. ;) And what animal says "moo"? That's right, a cow! So today I have for you this cow manicure I made. I've wanted to do cow spots for FOREVER, especially since my last Giraffe Nails (a month ago today actually when I was wigging out and couldn't decide whether to do black or white backgrounds haha.. I think you've probably figured out that I decided on black ;)). I even have for you a tutorial on how to make yourself a little cow on your nail, so keep reading! :)

I'm sorry I couldn't find the exact source from where I got the inspiration for doing the "Moo" on my thumb.. I saw it on Pinterest but because it didn't have a watermark (or link to original artist), it's safer just to not credit anyone for the inspiration. :/ Sorry original maker! I tried to google it too but it just was stolen so much that I couldn't find you.. :O Anyway. Keep reading for a cow nail art tutorial lol!

Sending Some Love!

Moohahaha.. weekend here I come! Boy, life is getting busy! Oh well, only like 5 more weeks until Spring Break and end of college quarter NUMBER TWO! Yahoo! ;) Summer.. June 27th, can you be any further away? Hmm... something much close though is Valentine's Day! <3 I may not have that "special someone" on February 14th, but I certainly can get in the "festive mood" with some pink hearts! ;) So go ahead and take a look at one of my Valentine's Day themed nail art!

 

I was inspired by Lucy Ridley whose blog is 100daysofmakeup.blogspot.com :) Click HERE to see the original manicure that Lucy created! It is beautiful! I wish I had longer nails to make them look more like hers, but I'm still really happy with these. :) Continue reading just to see a few more pictures of these. ;)

In the Stars

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Let me lose into the stars, please! Actually, please don't... I don't have my space suit or rocket ship ready! But if I did... I probably would LOVE to go into space. It would be the coolest thing to go OUTSIDE our own atmosphere into the galaxies in my opinion! But because I don't have millions of dollars or plan to go into astronomy, I'll have to settle with some galaxy nails. :) I actually already have a tutorial for Galaxy Nail Art Tutorial so you can find that in the tutorial tab OR just click HERE. :) I haven't done these since July! I probably should have tried a different color combo but I love the purple, blue, and pink! (Not brave enough to try yellow and green yet!!) So go ahead and look below for picture spam!!

 

Curvy Candy Canes!

 That realization when Christmas is ONLY two days away! AHHHH! Oh well, I got the holiday shopping done early so no worries. ;) (Errr... perhaps I did leave out the grandparents' presents a little too late.. which resulted in a "quick" trip to the mall... which then led to buying some impulse last minute gifts...) But ANYWAY! Moving on -- How about some quick candy cane nails to spice to get us in the season! No tutorial for these babies because I just free handed them with some white acrylic paint, but want to look at my wacky candy cane stripes, by all means, continue reading! :)
