Thanksgiving 2016: Thanksgiving Disney nails!

Image
Hey guys! Today I decided to do a little throwback to one of my most popular mani's. No, definitely my most popular and most reposted/pinned I've ever done!  Almost 3 years ago I did some Disney-themed nails with out character's actual faces, which I prefer so  far because I have zero drawing skills! I had no idea it would take off like it did. They were actually the first mani I did to kick off the relaunch of my blog!! You can see that post HERE  :) I thought about how I could take the same design and make it Thanksgiving themed! I wish I would have thought to do that with Halloween! I'm going to try to do it for each major holiday now. It is fun! This would be a great look to rock if you will be at the Parks or on a Cruise for Thanksgiving! I wish we were!!!!  Here are my original nails! So much has changed since then!  I have a lot of pictures of this mani so prepare for some spam ;)  The method could not be more simple: I started with a ...

Pipe Dream Polish Mellowed Out Cremes collection: swatches and review

Image
Hey guys! Today I have the Mellowed Out Cremes from Pipe Dream Polish. I bought these several months ago and I'm pretty sure they're not available anymore, so sorry about that! I've worn a few already and have posted them but they still deserve their own post, now that I have time! :) The colors are unique in my collection-they are pastel cremes but some of them almost seem neon-pastel....who knew that could be a thing?! Each of these swatches is 2 coats plus topcoat. I'm enjoying taking pictures outside again while we still have sunny days here...but sometimes it doesn't quite make colors as accurate as they look in real life so in those cases I've included pictures under my lights or in the shade. Take it easy is  raspberry creme-we all know that's my favorite shade of pink!    take it easy Unwind is a nice neural nude with yellow undertones, which pair nicely with my skin tone. I've already worn this one!   unwind Keep calm...

What I wore March 2016

Hey guys! Here's a round up of the manis I wore in March! I'm a day late posting these :/ I have been setting blogging goals for myself and I'm doing  a really good job at meeting them until now! I can only manage 2 blogs a week so  I put them on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and I was doing great until now! My neck has been bothering me this week and I've been super busy with life stuff so this last post took a backseat. But the weeks not over yet so I'm just going to pretend like it's still Thursday. ;) My computer keyboard is being really slow (anyone else ever have that issue) and my neck is bothering me so this won't be as wordy as usual! My changes didn't save either so I'm feeling particularly postal! grr! I had to redo this post like 3 times! This is I Scream Nails Liquorice Twist (black) with dry brush of Grasshopper Pie  (green) and Soft Serve (white). I loved this mani! I blogged all my I Scream Nails polishes HERE.  This is s...

What I wore January & February 2016 (swatches and nail art spam!)

Image
Hey guys! Here's the latest installment of my mani-round up blogs. I started this at the end of the year last year as a way to move away from blogging every.single.mani I wear ( who has time for that?) especially when for the time being I am focusing on swatching and cataloging my collection. Sometimes I will be combing months like this one if I don't get around to wearing a lot of manicures for myself! This is mostly just for my own records, haha. I'm also trying to keep them concise because a) I can get wordy and b) these aren't really review posts! For past posts click the "what I wore" tag at the end of this post! Only mani I wore in January! Thanks pneumonia! OPI Taupeless Beach. Perfection as always.  Taupe-less Beach Zoya Lake with OPI 50 years of Style (gold), Honey Rider (gold texture) and matte topcoat. Watermarble  with Pipe Dream Polish Clearwater.  Loaded Lacquer Clark, Glitter's Full! (and un...

What I wore November/December 2015 (nail art and swatch spam!)

Image
Hey guys! This is a long over due post since I stopped posting a blog for every mani, only swatches for the most part. I keep procrastinating this one for some reason! I will be posting these every few months to document my real-life manis and continue marking my untried polishes as "blogged"! It helps me when I want to thin the herd, haha. So these are the polishes I wore in November and December of 2015.     Loaded Lacquer Tiki Torched (untried). I can't remember if this was 2 or 3 coats, but I loved it!  Add caption Tiki Torched with Love Angeline A Twinkle in my Eye (untried)- after a day or so I broke out my vinyls and added a little accent of this rose gold glitter. I loved it! In November my town got our very own Ulta! Yippee! Before I was having to drive 25 whole minutes, and before those opened (all in the same year!) I had to go 45 min. I never wear orange but I had to to celebrate! I wore OPI Where Did Suzi's Man-go? and All ...
