H is for Hibiscus

Hello lovelies! Sorry for that break in the ABC Challenge but I'm back! :D And wahoo for some fun inspiration. ;) Today I have for you some hibiscus flower nail art for letter "H". Some gals on Instagram suggested Hawaii themed nails so I decided it was time to pull out the hibiscus. ;) Oh, and I take back my hello. I should say Aloha! :D

The Nails I DID Wear To The Wedding

This is going to be a short post because I'm exhausted. XD But I promised to show you what I did end up wearing to that wedding so here it is. ;) 
We have Glistening Snow by China Glaze topped with Santa's Magic by Finger Paints. It is a magical combination! It looks like just a crap ton of glitter but in the sun, it was like having diamonds on your fingertips! :) Santa's Magic and Glistening Snow are both holographic silver glitter polishes so I just wanted to deck out my nails! On the dance floor and in the sun they dazzled.

The Nails I Did NOT Wear To The Wedding

I know I'm taking a short break from the ABC Nail Challenge but don't worry, I have a ton of great ideas for the next few letters. ;) I've been talking a lot about the wedding and I'm sorry but I'm just so excited! I love this couple and their entire family -- we've been friends for a LONG time. :) They couple has been together for TEN years so it's about time for them to get hitched. ;) Yesterday I helped set up and I'll be helping today too we got to look good. xD I was trying to have my manicure match my outfit for today but it just wasn't working... I still LOVE this glitter gradient though! It just seemed too much like fall and I wanted something more summer-y for tonight's mani. I'll show you my outfit tomorrow and what I ended up having on my nails. But let's take a quick look at this reverse glitter gradient (or as some call it, a mermaid mani).

Bio Seaweed Gel Review

Hello, hello! Today I have for you a in depth review on Bio Seaweed Gel. I was intending to do this review next week but because of the wedding that I'm attending tomorrow (YIPEE! :D) I decided that it was time to take the gel polish off and have a clean mani (with no signs of growth haha.. it shall be explained later). So if you're interested in learning more about Bio Seaweed Gel Polish (or just about gel polish in general), this review is for you! *WARNING* This is a very extensive review -- it's made for people who are truly interested in gel polish.

I am wearing Strawberry Kiss (#117) by BSG. It's one of their UNITY All-In-One Colour Gel Polish and I'll be basing my entire review off of this.

I'm so excited. :) So for today's ABC Challenge, I am bringing you G is for Giraffe! If you're interested in seeing a before and after shot of my giraffes in December vs. now, keep reading. ;) I've grown a lot in 6 months!

Sorry... Calendar's Full by Sephora

You all should know by now that I ADORE pink polishes. And to be honest, pink isn't even my favorite color! (Orange, lime green, and turquoise are my favorite colors. ;) Just saying.) Pink just looks good on any skin tone and you can have an endless amount of pink shades. In fact, pink is the most popular polish color in my collection, standing 13 bottles strong. xD Yes. ALL are different shades. ;) I have the prettiest pale shades all the way to  the extremely bright.
 
Anyway, there is my little story about how pink takes over my life. So today I have for you one of my newest pink polishes that I bought during my adventures in Minnesota. This is Sorry... Calendar's Full by Sephora! By the way, this swatch was take about a week ago... ;) I knew that I was going to have gel polish on my nails for about 2 weeks so I prepared swatches beforehand. Basically this just means most of my nail art has actually had that pink (go figure) gel polish underneath while this swatch, I assure you, is a real swatch and NOTHING is keeping it from it's true color. "Me got no undies!" it says. ;) Keep reading for some more gorgeous pictures of this color! <3
