First Vday mani

I've been totally neglecting my blog these past couple months, I really do need to keep up I'm still keeping up  with my nails and taking pictures most of the time. Just when it comes down to it to actually edit my pics and post them I have been majorly slacking. Anyway enough about that, here is my first Valentine's mani of the year.

Used: 

Zoya- Storm (black)

Zoya- Renee (pinkish red) Also on a side note I only bought for the name since thats my middle name but really love the color. 

Urban Outfitters- Pink Holo 

All topped with Seche Vite 

Stamping colors are the same as the base colors with the exception of the lips I used Sally Hansen Chrome nail Makeup in Tourmaline Chrome, omg I love these ones I have like 4 of these Chrome nail makeups, I've had them for like 8 or 10 years, something crazy like that and they are just so awesome at stamping I'm going to seriously cry when they are empty. Oh well for now I have them and will continue to love them. 

This is just a design I came up with after failed half moon using Chine Glaze Grape Juice, so pretty but not the best formula. 

Birthday Nails!

So yesterday was my birthday, Yay. I am now 23, I still can't believe it. Just crazy, but I love birthdays and this one was very fun. And onto my nails for my day, I had originally planned on some type of skittles with glitter and balloons and something else. I didn't have a full plan yet, then well I just didn't have it in me to do any of that and changed even my colors. I have been fighting a cold for the past 5 days and yesterday was the first day I was feeling better so on sat when I did my nails I changed almost everything about the plan.

The only thing I kept was the cupcake. I knew I wanted a cupcake for my birthday! Yay and my boyfriend made my cupcakes so I had too... Here's a pic of them...
He made them all by himself, and so yummy

And onto the nails...

Even though it's not quite what I had imaged I am very happy with what I came up with. 

White Roses...

Here is a mani I wore about a week ago, I really loved it. This was my first try to free- hand roses they came out really well, yay... lol yes I get excited when I try something new and it actually works, what can I say?
Anyway on to the pretty-ness

Roses: Grey: Zoya- Dove

White: Spoiled by Wet N Wild- Correction Tape

Green: Milani green striper (sorry don't remember the name at the moment) 

all topped with Seche Vite 

So what do you think? Let me know I love all the comments I get. Makes me happy to see people actually read what I write, Even if I am sporadic at posting. 

 Don't mind the tip- wear this was after wearing for a couple of days, I actually wore this for four days when it chipped and I just can't stand a chipped mani. So off it came...

Double Zebra w/ a little sparkle

Just a quick post today, but with a ton of pictures. When I started this mani I originally wanted to use do a black and white zebra simple right? Well I picked a frosty white to use so I started with my base of Orly Nail Armor and went to work with Orly Au Champagne, Well after the first coat on both hands I waited a few mintutes to let dry... Normal right? Well a few more minutes go by and it just wasn't drying. It was still tacky even on nails that I did a super thin coat, So I scrapped that idea maybe I will try Au Champagne again but I was kind of in a hurry so plan b it was. Which was Zoya Dove with black and pink zebra and holo glitter on top. Turned out pretty good so I was happy... And here are my pictures...

Used: Base coat of Orly Nail Armor

2 coats Zoya- Dove

Stamped w/ Mash # 57

Using Wet N Wild Megalast- Tronicalia

then Wet N Wild- Black Creme on top. 

1 coat FC Savvy- Touch of Glitter

And finally topped with Seche Vite

And these pics below are before cleanup so don't mind them.  I really like the Mash plates my only problem is that the full nail images are just barely wide enough for my thumb nail. On my right hand I placed it good but on my left hand I placed it just slightly too far over ugh it's annoying but not too bad. Most of the time I can get it just right just not that day.
