Birthday Nails for the Birthday Queen

Good morning my loves! My birthday was actually yesterday, but I was too caught up enjoying the day off with my husband that I forgot to post my birthday manicure. I didn't have time to do a proper birthday manicure last year, so I wanted these to have a very obvious birthday design.

For my index finger I used OPI Hey Baby and stamped using MoYou London Pro 08 XL in Color Club Harp On It for the holo diamond background. Then I stamped using MoYou London Happy Birthday 01 for the word "birthday" and MoYou London Pro 08 XL for the word "queen" in Mundo de Unas 2. I did the same background for my middle finger and the crown image is from Red Angel RA-119. My ring finger has China Glaze Liquid Leather stamped using MoYou London Pro 08 XL in Color Club Harp On It. The glitter on my pinky is from OPI I Snow You Love Me.

These were so fun to wear this week and people really noticed them. I had a great birthday weekend. My husband got my name tattooed on him, he got me a Louis Vuitton purse, and an iPhone 6 plus! I'm a happy wife!

China Glaze First Mate & Red Angel RA-110

Hi my polished pretties! Short post today. For this half-moonicure I used China Glaze First Mate and stamped using RA-110 in Essie Penny Talk. This is a really random mani for me because I'm doing this January nail art thing on Instagram and today's theme is navy blue. It's a color I have rarely wear and I had to think hard to come up with this one!

Peppermint Candy French Tips

Merry Xmas Eve everyone! Short post today because I have 3 family parties to go to today. For this mani I used Zoya Purity and stamped using Red Angel RA 110 in Konad Red. Hope everyone has a lovely day with their family and friends!

Cinderella Inspired Nails

Good afternoon lacquerheads! I didn't want to take my rasta stripe mani off yet, but I don't have anything in the vault to post. When I took it off, I had no inspiration LOL. I decided to do something from my "to try list". One of them was a Cinderella inspired mani by The Nail Network. At least I got to use one of my manyyy untrieds for today. I used Sinful Colors Cinderella and stamped using BM 213 and RA 119 in Konad White.

31 Day Nail Challenge--Day 22: Inspired by a Song

Happy Friday! Today's theme is inspired by a song. I had to look up a couple videos and lyrics to start getting some inspiration, but I found it! I chose to do my nails inspired by Katy Perry's "California Gurls." I mostly got my inspiration from stuff in the music video. You can watch it here. I used a bunch of stuff. I think the most I've ever used in one mani so I'll just tell you that I stamped using Konad Q1 (cupcakes and icecream), Konad M17 (letters), and Red Angel RA 110 (heart and half moon swirl).

China Glaze Stone Cold and Red Angel 121

Hi lovelies! As of today I'm officially on Spring Break. Yay, I get to play with nail polish all week! Lol. Anyways, here's the first polish used from the Hunger Games Collection. I bought the whole collection so it was hard for me to decide which one to use first. I used China Glaze Stone Cold as a base and stamped using Red Angel 121 in Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Silver Sweep. I added some dots using Silver Sweep.

Valentine's Day Hearts

Ok so this one is a day late. I didn't know how many Vday nails I was doing and I guess I should've started posting them a day earlier. Oh well. For this I used O.P.I. Strawberry Margarita as a base and then added other pinks using a dotting tool. I added China Glaze Dance Baby, China Glaze Sugar High, China Glaze Fuchsia Fanatic, and Essie Tour De Finance. I stamped using Red Angel plate RA-114 in Konad White.

OPI Mod About You and RA 119

Happy Friday the 13th everyone! I did these nails today and honestly, so many things went wrong! I'm not very superstitious, but I kinda feel like it was bad luck =[ I smudged my nails countless times and I totally spilled a bottle of polish all over the floor--first time that's ever happened! I almost gave up on these, but decided to power through it and finish. I used O.P.I. Mod About You for the base color. I stamped using RA 119 in Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Presto Pink and Konad Princess Apple Green. I added some yellow to the flowers with China Glaze Lemon Fizz. Lastly, I added orange dots using Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Sun Kissed. Hope it turned out okay despite the mishaps!

Victoria's Secret PINK Inspired Nails

Hello everyone! Hope you all are having a good weekend. I received a lot of Victoria's Secret items this week in the mail and one of the things I ordered inspired me! Haha like I said before, it's rare that I do a mani that is inspired by something (sounds lame huh? lol), but anyways here it is! I used a base color of China Glaze Flyin' High. Thumb and ring finger are stamped using RA 110 in Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Presto Pink. Index is stamped using Konad M72. Middle is stamped using Konad M17 and M18. Pinky is stamped using RA 114. I used Konad White for all the other stamping. This would've been perfect for "nails inspired by a color" on the 31 day nail challenge. Guess I will have to come up with something else for that day. I will save the 31 day nail challenge for this summer so I won't rush, but I'm dying to do it!

OPI Black Onyx, China Glaze White Out, and RA 114

Hi everyone! Today I have another design to show you. I did this really quick. I just wanted to test out another Red Angel nail art plate. I'll be testing them a lot these next couple of weeks so stay tuned for more. On my pinky, middle, and thumb I used OPI Black Onyx and stamped using RA 114 in Konad White. Then on my ring and index finger I used China Glaze White Out and stamped using RA 114 in Konad Black. I wanted to see what color combination would look best. After trying it out, I like the white base with black stamp better. It might be hard to tell, but something I noticed so far using the Red Angel plates is that the image has tiny little parts that showed up bald when I stamped, which is something that never happens to me using Konad. It's no biggie, but I'm really anal sometimes and it bothers me just a bit haha.

QUESTION: I need some help from everyone. On my Facebook I like to use only one photo of each manicure, but I'm having a hard time picking a 'pose' lol. Do you prefer A, B, or C? Please help! =]

Nicole by OPI Pink Seriously and RA 102

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't made a post since last year! Haha that seems so long ago. Anyways, I have FINALLY received my Red Angel nail plates I purchased off of Amazon. I ordered them on December 8th and received them on December 27, way past the expected delivery date AND I live in the same state they shipped out from. Pretty ridiculous right?! Anyways, if you're interested in purchasing them they come in a set of 21 nail plates and I believe including shipping, it came out to about $17.

For this mani I used a base of Nicole by OPI Pink Seriously. It is my very first polish from that brand and it has this weird 'Perfect Stroke' brush. It will take me a bit of getting used to, but I think it worked pretty well. I stamped using Red Angel plate 102 in Konad Black.

Review:
As far as the Red Angel nail plates go, I have only used this design so far, but it came out better than I expected it to. I have pretty long nails and as you can see, the design covered my whole nail! I only had to stamp a little extra on my thumb, but I have to do that with Konad as well. The shipping time is the only thing that killed the purchase for me. I have read that other people received it in a few days, so maybe it was because I made a purchase around the holidays. Other than that, I would recommend these plates, it's a great deal. I find it hard to see all the designs of nail plate sets online, so I took pics of the nail plates so anyone who is interested can get a closer look! (Click to enlarge)
