China Crackle

Hello! Two late post but shockingly these two post are the colors i had on all Wednesday. I had a lot of naps throughout the day and i couldn't sleep so i did one of my ideas i was going nuts over. So i recently go this crackle and i knew i can do some crazy color combos. But when i was txting my boyfriend he was asking what colors? Lakers colors?! so i said no because i didn't have either but it inspired this Mani. so dedicated to my love.......Lakers Colors just beacause he is a Lakers freak:)

*China Glaze crackle "Fault Line" and Avon's "Sunshine"

You may notice i don't have my acrylics on well one chipped at work (DARN IT!!!) and one was loose because of too much water exposer so i decided to take them off and also because i wanted to try a different tip that will make them less wide. But hope you like the Mani!

Punch!

So i haven't really been in a creative mood. well i have but have you ever had soooo many ideas in your head on what to do with your nails that you just don't want to because you cant decide? maybe its just me. There are so many things i want to do that its causing me to block. So today i was going to do a cute mani for pink Wednesday but that just ended in plain pink nails but i found it to be a pro because i get to show you more of my polishes so here it is....

*Outside (because my dog Roxi had to pee:))

*inside with flash

*inside no flash just lamp

So here it is this is my Avon polish collection this one is titled "Punch" its one i used when i did the water marble. So hope you like the color:)

Super/ Mini Hauls

Ok i failed! normally after i come home from any kinda haul and id be so excited id want to share with you guys. but the last three i haven't. Its probably just because its been busy. With boyfriend coming home and the holidays and picking up more shifts at work, its been crazy but i have a little time to breathe before i get up and get ready for work on the 4th of July :(.

So here is two pictures of the three separates hauls i did. Now you may have seen them used in some of my manis earlier but i never properly introduced them to you:)
*just another angle to see some shine:)
*Left to Right: Sally Hansens's "Posh Plum" & "Rockstar Pink", Sinful Colors's "Rise and Shine" & "Hottie", and NYC "Starry Silver Glitter".

This is the third to the last haul i did. If you read back i was upset because i was waiting and waiting for my stuff i ordered online to come in and then i epically failed my marble polish. That day i had to get some stuff from Target and i went by the nail polish area and picked up some stuff to make my day:). It did too:) here is my Target haul!

*Left to Right: Sally Hansen's Crackle "Fractured Foil", Seche Vite Top Coat, OPI's Suede "OPI Ink"

This was the second to last haul and i went specifically for the Seche Vite Top coat and came out with two extra. I stopped by the clearance at Ulta because i really wanted the OPI i originally wanted when i got the china glaze polish i grabbed by accident a couple weeks back and BANG! it was there the last bottle!! so i grabbed it. and then i seen the Crackle and i didn't have one at this point, any crackle at all, so i got the silver.

*China Glaze's Crackle "fault Line"

This was my last Mini haul. I was at work and one of my wonderful Nail critics that feeds my nail obsession gave me a coupon i couldn't resist to Ulta. A 20% off coupon already printed off. Since it was going to expire on the 3rd of July i had to go in and find something, of course there was going to be something:). So i got this crackle i have yet to try. I needed crackle in my stash pile so now i have two and i have some crazy plans for this one:).

So ya this was the last three hauls in one post. I'm excited to start using them! i have a lot of polish i have yet to try still...i know i'm crazy. From a lot of the hauls i have done i have about 20 i haven't even opened yet and i'm going to soon. So Hope you enjoyed this:)

Thanks for reading friends:)

OMG!! so i couldn't wait to get home to do my nails for fourth or July. I told you guys earlier im going to have to wear them like this til the 4th of July but as cute as they came out im soooo ok with that:). so i ordered dotting sticks but i am still waiting for them and i was impatient because i wanted them done for tmr so i figure id try a pen so you will see in the white nails a pen marks but its because i used a pen:). And it worked perfectly. I love them!! i hope you all too.

And on a sidenote: normally i clean up my nails, sometimes i dont, but i was in a rush because in one of the pictures you can see what time it is ha ha and i work tmr and i sooo wanted to share this with you guys because tmr ill be lucky to be able to get one. So here it is:).

*Left to Right: Sally Hansen "Red(the label rubbed off...very old polish)", Wet n' Wild "French White Creme" "Bijou Blue", Sinful Colors "This is It" "Out of This World", and of course Seche Vite"). the pen in this picture was not the pen i used but i couldnt find it when it came to picture time so i just grabbed one haha.

To my Followers

So today i fail to bring a mani post. I did do my nails but i just put a acrylic on them because lately my nails have been thin and when i go to work i happen to break them so i am forced to put acrylic false nails on them to let them grow more while i try to restore them...BUT NO FEAR!!! when i get home from work im going to paint them:). I have to get ready for 4th of JULY!. and sadly i have to wear the same mani til then:( or maybe ill switch it up >:D!

ANYWAYS!! that was part of the reason i wanted to post. if you look up you will see this is to my followers:) Well it is! i want to say thank you so much! I was seriously starting to loose faith in blogger and i was thinking of cutting the cord because i have two other pages but i figured why not just do this for fun and stick with it. Then i read a blog post from a blog i follow called "thenailaholic

". She really gave me hope and i was more excited to post more post:) she is new to blogger just like me and she has more followers but im just happy that she gave me home and more reason to stay on blogger.

So i get on my blogger today after doing my nails and BOOM!!! i have 3 followers!!! You have no idea how excited and happy i am to have you here:). I thank you so much as well because you like what im doing here and it makes me happy.

Now i know ill probably get a couple more when others read this and if some were to be like "heeeeey im a member too n she has __ (more than 3)__ members" lol this goes for you too:). lol sorry i like to think of every possibility:).

So ya thank you guys! you all made my day and now im going to have a big smile all day:)

Crackle on a Matte?!

Hello! So this post ended up being posted too late than what i really wanted. Even though im still rocking these nails but its a day old:(. i know right who does that. I been pretty busy so i do apologize but here it is! I went to Ulta (my favorite place) and originally went to get the Seche Vite top coat because well duh! its the best. and of course i walked out with more than i should have. So i dont know if you remember me talking about the china Glaze's "First Class Ticket"? if not look at it its one of my old post

Anyways i had gotten it by accident because i originally wanted the color here on this post:) and im so happy they had it..the last bottle!! O_o. So i got it and as well as the silver sally handsen crackle.

Lets see the color first:)

This is the OPI's Suede "OPI INK". I realized i really love the matte finishes. And i was soo happy i still got the chance to get this bottle its like it was meant to be ^_^.

So then since i bought the crackle Sally Hansen's "Fractured Foil" i was curious if it would work on this type polish so i tried. The thumbs came out better than the rest other than that it doesn't crack as much so ill be sticking to the glossy polishes :). Lesson learned.

Then i topped it with the Seche Vite.....love this stuff:). Hope you enjoyed:)

Comment:)

Fourth of July!!

So as i sit here trying to make my blogs look better im thinking of what im going to do today for my mani, then i think "OMG!!! FOURTH OF JULY IS COMING!!! WHAT SHOULD I DO!!!?!?!?". Then my boyfriend looks at me like im crazy and laughs. So my question is how excited are you about doing your Fourth of July Mani?! i dont know this was just something i thought to share:).

-Liz

P.S. on the fourth expect cuteness:)

Polish rack i built very proud of myself if i may say:) i ended up throwing some away because some were too old to save:( i guess that means i can buy more >:D

Pink Marble

Hello Kitty

So CLOSE!

So i went to the Post office today and to my surprise i had sooo many packages!! It was seriously like Christmas:).

See how many!! it was funny walking out with it:)

Mind you only 5 were actual nail stuff:) one was my android tablet cover:)

And the products:). I got acrylic color powder and rhinestones, glitter powder, French white nail tips, and nails clipper:)

Im so Excited to use them. Im seriously almost done i need two things left from the orders i did from this shipping then 4 more from the most recent order.

I do need to repaint nails now but tmr:) after work i plan to make a visit to target;). I need shampoo n conditioner so maybe ill grab some things;)

-Liz

Sad Face:(

So i been pretty sad today because i'm still waiting on all my acrylic stuff to come in which is why all my pics are with my natural nails. normally i let them grow out but last time i cut myself with my nails because they are thin. This is why i love acrylic and since i learned how to do acrylic on my nails i been very excited about it. So i bout a lot of acrylic supplies online because #1-its wayyyy cheaper than going to Sally's (even though i ADORE sallys), #2 i dont have to worry about them running out of supply. For some reason the Sally's here runs out of something when i go and when i go shopping i want to get everything right then in there to save a trip:).

I haven't checked the mail box today because its too early too so i sit here with anxiety as i wait. Longer nails means more possibilities for nail designs.......:(

So now i just checkout websites of my favorite people til i have to go.....acrylic nails:( i miss you.

-Liz :(

A Green leopard?

So i finally got my stamper so today was all about having fun with my plates. One thing i couldn't wait to play with was my leopard plate:) So i had to try. not the pics will show messiness but hey practice makes perfect so im sure after months of playing with it ill get better:). Hope you enjoy.

This is the supplies i used:). My MASH plate, my stamper and scrapper, and my sinful colors "Out of this World".

The pink circle shows you the Design i chose, the leopard.

Remeber: not all plates have visible seals on them. Some may be clear. Just remember to take them off before use.

Yes its messy but this is the first time i used stamping. but this was different.

After cleaning the mess. And i put on the top coat as well which it made it look nicer:)

So there it is:). Comment :)

ENVY of Colors

So I had to paint my nails again i was going to leave them naked......O_O! lol YA RIGHT!!! i'm sorry did i scared you guys? I'm so sorry never again. anyways a while back ago i like went on a nail polish buying rage. Mind you i had like two coupons to ulta and my club card and they were on sale so i got a lot of Ulta colors and Sally Hansen polish.

ANYWAYS!! today im going to show you the "Envy" Side of Ulta:). Yes, the color im showing you is "Envy" by Ulta. I really liked this color specially outside and in Arizona it shines sooo gorgeous:). so enjoy the Pictures i edited with my Photoscape:).

First Acrylic Nails

So i Learned how do do this right one day but i tried it by accident. I didnt have the right liquid but i realized that brush cleaner still works haha. But im getting the real stuff through mail so now i just have to wait. for it being my first time im very proud of myself:).

What i Got Today

So this is what i got in the mail. My Stamper, Bows and Dappen Dish:) So excited:) Wonderful things to add to my supply.

Hello Kitty

I LOOOVEE Hello Kitty! So of course i had to buy the plate that has her face on it:). I got this in the mail on friday june 17th. Later ill show some nail designs with it:).

The supply's are coming in!!

So on the 8th of June i ordered a lot of things from online. They are slowly coming in. Today i got three things in. I got my stamper kit with scrapper, dappen glass dish for my acrylic liquid, and my bows for my nail art. I still need a couple other things. Im just happy my stamper came in cuz now i can play with all my plates. I just painted my nails to a color ill reveal later. I want to add a design to it:).

Ill show a pick of the things i got today as well as the other things i got:)

Too Dark Maybe?

This is the China Glaze polish titled "First Class Ticket". I actually bought this on accident. I wanted the OPI version of it which was a little lighter and ended up buying the China Glaze when i thought it was the OPI :(. but i kept it and just like the Nicole one i bought it came out dark. But i liked that it was lighter, meaning i could seem more color than just black. I was kinda sad because the bottle has a lil blue metallic and i couldn't see that in it:( . But pretty color.

4 Things to Love

So this is my first post and like in everything, third time is a charmer so next time i hope to have pics for every step on camera. i have here some step by step to do this design on your own nails. i don’t have pictures for all of it but it comes close. If you have questions, which i hope they are covered in this Web Blog, Please ask away or message me:).

*Please note: This takes long!!! i started this at 12 and ended at like 3pmish. It really helps to have a small fan of just a fan in general near by so your polish can dry faster to make this all go by faster.

So the first step is picking the colors you desire… remember it doesn’t have to be my colors, they may be any colors you want but please beware this is a long process. I chose my Sinful Colors polish.

From Left to Right: Cream Pink(Pink-Obviously), Happy Ending(Green), Love Nails(Blue), and Let’s Talk(purple)

-Next you create a base coat. i chose the Cream Pink to be my base becase i wanted it to be my top strip.

-Now Let your base color dry. (this is where the fan comes in handy)

-Once your base is dry and get your second color which mine was Let’s Talk (purple), get a piece of tape (make sure to stick tape to you palm to take away some stickyness otherwise you will take some of your base off) remember the base is still fragile to coming off. Take that piece of tape and slant it to how you want it like i did on my picture bellow. and polish that baby!

* notice my bottom is a lil messy but it was my first time doing this but no worries it will be covered by your next color:).

-Next your going to need two strips of tape and your third color which is my Love nails (blue) color. like my pic shows ( the only helpful one i took:( sry)

*please remember to stick the tapes on your palm first to take off some stickyness. specially so you wont mess it up. the fan helps to make the polish dry faster.

they should end up looking something like this:)

*some are messy but no worries with time it gets better. once you get used to taping and all that you will be a pro:)

-Nest is you being so close to the finish line!!! use the same technique as you used for your third color (or my blue) and do it for your Fourth color which mine was the green or sinful color’s Happy ending:). and it should look a lil like this!

-THATS IT!! you made it! the easy part now is putting a top coat of a clear polish which i didn’t have a pick of but it was a wet n wild one. but once you add the top coat you have your beautiful nails that look like this…

*Some tips:

-This does Take a long time

-Its good to get crappy tap from a dollar store becuase its less sticky and it will be easier to apply but still stick it on your palm first.

-FAN FAN FAN FAN—very long process but it helps to make it go faster.

-after you shower or wash your nails the polish you got on your skin will come off when you scratch it off.

Thank you for reading i hope it helps. everyone loved my nails when they saw them so i hope everyone will love yours as well:) please message me if you have questions:)
