Swatch & NOTD Featuring "Break A Leg-Warmer!"

Hey lovelies! :)

So today I have a quick little swatch and Nail Of The Day for you! :) 

First up is swatches! 

This is Sephora by OPI - Break A Leg-Warmer


Break A Leg-Warmer is a super pretty blue-gray creme. It's opaque in two coats, dries quickly, and has a great formula! 

You may remember that I swatched this before when I swatched the whole Tinseltown Collection, but since that was back before I got my camera,(boooo, blurry iPod pictures!)  I figured I'd do a little re-swatch with a better picture. :) 

So now for our Nail Of The Day! 
For today's NOTD I added a coat of Sephora by OPI - Justa' Pinch Of Glitter to my ring and thumb for glitter accent nails! :) 


I hope you all had a great weekend! Have a happy Monday! :)

NOTD: Fun with Zoya Happi!

Hello there my lovelies! 
For today's Nails of the Day, I'm re-swatching Zoya - Happi, and also having a little French Mani fun with it! :) 

I got Happi back in January during the Try 3 Free promotion, and it's definitely become one of my top favorite polishes in my collection now! :) 



Happi is a pretty, summery, pink with coral shimmer, and in in the right lighting you can even see a hint of green shimmer! :) 
It's perfect for Spring and Summer, and now that warm weather is finally here in PA, I'm super-duper loving this one! :) 


I tried to capture the green shimmer, but it's tough to see on camera. You can see it in person though, especially in the sunlight! You can definitely see the gorgeous coral shimmer though! :)


Now, time for a little mini French Mani Fun! 


For this one I used a base of the nude color from the Mark. Mode & Trend Collection, which is a light nude with pink shimmer. Then I added on Happi for French Tips, and sealed with a coat of Seche Vite! 


I think the shimmer of the nude really complemented the shimmer of Happi, and the result was a nice Springy, shimmery French! :) 

I hope you're all enjoying nice weather like we're having! Spring coming around always puts me in a happy mood! :) 

BONUS! Check out this gorgeous rainbow! This came out over my neighborhood the other day after it had been storming all day long. It was so bright and beautiful, and it was perfectly arched all the way around! I haven't seen one as bright as this in a long time. :)

Flip/Flip February Day 9: Abstract/Plastic Wrap!

Hello once again, lovies! It's Flip/Flop February Day 9!

Today's Flip/Flop is Abstract/Plastic Wrap, and I chose the flop today!
I was going to try and be creative and do abstract, but I really wanted to try plastic wrap since I've never done it before! :)

It was actually super quick and easy, an I think it came out pretty neat!

For those who don't know, the plastic wrap technique is when you take a small piece of plastic/saran/cling wrap, and dab it on your nail to get a cool effect. You paint one color and let it dry completely, then put one coat of your second color, then dab the plastic wrap, and it comes out awesome looking! It's really easy and quick too, (not counting the time it took for my first color to dry) it actually took me under 5 minutes! I will for sure be doing this again! :)

The colors I used were:
Essie - Smokin' Hot
Essie - Lapiz of Luxury

P.S., please excuse my nubby little ring finger. As I wrote yesterday, I had a terrible break and broke waay far down. I refuse to cut the rest down until this challenge is finished though LOL.

As always, please make sure to go check out all the other bloggers manis!! :)

Butterfly Nail Art!

So last night I decided to do some fun nail art, and I decided to go with something I've been wanting to try for a long time - butterfly nails! :)

Of course I've seen this beautiful trend all over the nail art community, it's so pretty and actually more simple than it seems!
I sat down thinking it might be pretty difficult, but it was actually simple and easy!

These were soo fun to do, and came out kinda pretty if I do say so myself! :P

I decided rather than just doing plain orange, to use an orange shimmer and a purple shimmer accent nail, just for fun! :)

The polishes I used were:
Orange: Sepora by OPI - I Think I Cayenne
Purple: Sephora by OPI - I Don't Bite
Black: Ulta - Little Black Dress
White: Sinful Colors - Snow Me White
