Zoya Layla and Orly Flash Glam FX Sashay My Way

Happy Tuesday! Short post today. It's my first day back to nursing school today and I have to leave soon. I'm super bummed I won't be able to do my nails as often especially because we're not allowed to wear nail polish to clinicals. Here's a palette cleanser for me, it's still very bright, but there's no nail art. Very weird for me! Here's Zoya Layla and Orly Flash Glam FX Sashay My Way. I put used China Glaze GR8 as a base for the gold in case I had any bald spots. Glad I used it because I do if you look closely =P

Zoya Purity and FUN2

Hey loves! I'm so bummed this is my very last weekend before school starts again next week. I won't be able to post that often because the nursing program I'm in keeps me super busy, but I promise I will post as often as physically and mentally possible. I think I may actually ask some people to do guest posts, something I have never done before! Anyways, to end my summer right, I wanted to do an awesome mani for you all so I did one I've been putting off--a Louis Vuitton inspired mani! I've used this image before, but with different colors. I used Zoya Purity and stamped using FUN2 in Konad: Yellow, Sky Pearl, Princess Apple Green, Psyche Pink, and Sally Hansen Insta-Dri: Orange Impulse, Lively Lilac, and Presto Pink. If you're interested in purchasing the plate, you can buy it from Ninja Polish or FAB UR NAILS.

Nude, Gold, and Black Clouds

Hey lacquerheads! Today I have some cloud nails I did a couple weeks back to go with a LBD I wore to my very first club... and I'm 23 lol!! It was fun and my nails went well with my outfit. I was going to do chevrons at first, but as others have said before, the formula of Essie's Mirror Metallics are a little difficult to work with so I had to start over and I did clouds instead. I used OPI Don't Pretzel My Buttons, Essie Good as Gold, and OPI Black Onyx for this. It's the second cloud mani I've ever done and it's still the quickest and easiest nail art I know how to do!

**Edit: A few of you have asked how to create this design, so here is the link to Nailside's tutorial that I used.

China Glaze Summer Neons and BM 319

Good morning! Today I have something very bright to show you, so get out your sunglasses! I was playing around with my China Glaze Summer Neons and I came up with this. I used a base of Zoya Purity and then randomly sponged on China Glaze Orange You Hot?, Pink Plumeria, I'm with the Lifeguard, and Sun-Kissed and then stamped using BM 319 in Konad Black. Kind of funky, but I love these kinds of colorful manis =]
