Happy Fourth of July!

I just realized I've had my blog for a year now! I guess it would be more of an accomplishment if I posted more often! Anyways, here's a quick post on my 4th of July mani.

I attempted my very first gradient with red, white and blue. Then I added Red, Blue, Silver and Pink glitter on top.

For my first gradient I'm really happy about how it turned out. My right hand didn't get so lucky, but that's ok! For those of you wondering, I used a makeup sponge with the three colors to dab it onto my nails. If you really want an in depth tutorial I can create one, or lead you to the one that taught me! 

The colors used:
China Glaze First Mate

China Glaze Phat Santa

Sinful Colors Snow Me White

LA Girl Glitter Celebrate

Happy Fourth of July! Stay safe.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Don't get too crazy tonight! And be safe in this rainy weather. I celebrated last night with a shot of Nyquil and going to bed before midnight. So crazy. Anyways, just a quick post on my St. Patty's Day mani. I did 2 coats of Zoya Shawn with ring and thumb accents of Sinful Colors Green Ocean. I'm still sick so there was no motivation to do this mani, but I still like it. But while taking pictures I smudged my ring finger...which you'll see. Oh well, this'll probably come off tomorrow!

Really dark photo, but it showed Green Ocean the best.

Shawn is a grassy green creme polish, the formula was great. Green Ocean is a mixture of blue/green flakies in a slightly tinted green jelly base. It was a gloopy mess and is taking forever to dry, even with my quick dry top coat. That's why it's smudged in the photos. But I still love it...it's my love for anything flakie. Anyways, enjoy and be safe!
