Hello Kitty Nails

Good afternoon beauties! After my nail fail yesterday, I just wanted to do some simple stamping because it never gives me any trouble. I used China Glaze Sugar High and stamped using FUN2 in Konad Black. I purchased my FUN2 plate here. I was  kind of torn whether to stamp in black or white, but I think the image is so cute it would've turned out nicely either way. 

Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July! I had a huge nail fail today =[ My "nail time" was kind of cut short today so I don't know if it was because my polish wasn't completely dry, but I experienced topcoat shrinkage for the first time ever. I was pretty bummed out and I decided not to take pics with my DSLR. I'll post my iPhone pic I took because it's more forgiving than an SLR pic. The blue is China Glaze Man Hunt, the white is Zoya Purity, and the red is China Glaze Adventure Red-y. If I didn't have shrinkage, I think it actually would've turned out pretty cool.

OPI The Amazing Spider-Man Collection Swatches

Hi loves! Today I have OPI The Amazing Spider-Man Collection to show you. I did these swatches back in May, but decided I would save them until the day the movie is released. I'm going to be watching it in IMAX 3D today. Yay! After editing my photos, I kind of wanted to re-do my swatches, but I just don't have that kind of time so I'll be posting them anyways. There's 6 colors and 1 shatter. I wish I could get my hands on OPI Spotted, but it's only available in France. Oh well, I'm pretty sure I'll get over it.

I really enjoyed all of the colors in this collection except for Number One Nemesis. It is very pretty and there's a lot of depth to it, but it's just not my style. Like most people, I expected a red in this collection. I really wish there was one in it because it doesn't seem very Spider-Man without it. I didn't really care much for Shatter the Scales. I know the crackle trend is pretty much over, but sometimes a new one will come out that I really enjoy. This one just didn't seem to go well with any of the colors except for Just Spotted the Lizard, the gold-green duochrome. The colors aren't unique, but of course I'm happy to have added them to my collection!

31 Day Nail Challenge--Day 31: Re-create Your Favorite Challenge

The day has finally came--the last day of the challenge! I loved being able to try out so many different styles throughout the past 31 days that I would normally avoid or be to scared to try. Today's theme is pretty open ended: re-create your favorite challenge. I wanted to do a watermarble or do another one inspired by a tutorial, but being the super honest person I am, I wanted to actually do my personal favorite. I always love to stamp flowers and I enjoy how stamps look over gradients, so I just did both (gradient and flowers). I did a gradient using Essie Orange It's Obvious, Essie Ole Caliente, and China Glaze Fuchsia Fanatic. I stamped using BM 318 in Konad Yellow. I hope everyone enjoyed my nail art for this challenge and thanks for all of the lovely comments!
