My Florida NOTD! :)

Hello ladies! Today, I will be showing you the NOTD that I wore while on my Florida trip! I meant to post this while I was on my vacation, but as I said yesterday, my iPad wouldn't let me attach pictures. So, I'm posting it today!


^My Right Hand^


^My Left Hand^

Products I Used:
  • Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Base Coat
  • 2 coats of China Glaze Electric Beat (light blue)
  • 2 coats of Wet n Wild I Red a Good Book (red)
  • BM-205 and Wet n Wild Black Creme for stamping
  • Seche Vite Top Coat

I know the stamping is not very good, but I'm pretty new to stamping, and I want to improve my skills! And they only way that I can improve is to practice, right?

What do you think? Do you like the manicure? Are you new to stamping? Do you like the accent nail trend? Leave a comment and let me know! Thanks for reading!

Pink Glittery Zebras....?

Yes, you read the title right... Pink glittery zebras... I think yes!!! I really love this manicure! It was so much fun to create! :)

Oh, and I recently hit 9 followers! Yay! :) *happy dances*


You may recognize the pointer and middle finger nails... That's because they were popularized by Sarah of Chalkboard Nails! I really like this trend!

Here's what I used on each nail, all of then are with base/top coat just to get that out of the way.

Pointer and Middle: 2 coats of OPI Sparrow Me the Drama stamped with Wet n Wild Black Creme and BM-223.
Thumb, Ring, and Pinky: 1 coat of OPI Sparrow Me the Drama followed by 3 coats of Wet n Wild Sparked (a pink and silver glitter).

I really like this manicure, a lot! Now that we got the nail stuff out of the way, we have some stuff to talk about... I'm going to Oklahoma City for the next week.... So I don't know if I will be able to post or not. I'm really sorry if I don't post (please don't unfollow me). But I will try my best to post!

Anyway, I better be going! Thanks for reading!

My First Skittles Manicure!

EDIT: This is my 50th post! Happy day! I feel so accomplished! :)


Hello everyone! I now have 8 followers! Yay! :)

Today, I have an awesome manicure to show you! This is probably the best manicure that I have ever done, so I'm really proud of it! I can't wait to show you! Here are the polishes I used...


Nails Inc Highgate, Nails Inc The Southbank, OPI Planks A Lot, Wet n Wild Black Creme, Spoiled (by Wet n Wild) Jewelry Heist

And here's the SKITTLES!


This is what I did on each finger.... Each finger has base coat and top coat on it. Just to get that out of the way.
  • Thumb: 2 coats of OPI Planks a Lot and 2 coats of Spoiled Jewelry Heist
  • Pointer: 2 coats of Nails Inc The Southbank, stamped with Wet n Wild Black Creme and BM-205.
  • Middle: 2 coats of Nails Inc Highgate, dotted with Wet n Wild Black Creme and a bobby pin
  • Ring: 2 coats of OPI Planks a Lot and 2 coats of Spoiled Jewelry Heist
  • Pinky: 2 coats of Nails Inc The Southbank, dotted with Wet n Wild Black Creme and a bobby pin

Don't you like this nail design? I'm in love with it! I actually wore it for 3 days, which was awesome! I have a funny story to go along with this manicure... I was at Walgreens picking up a few nail essentials and the lady and the beauty counter checked me out and then we got to talking about eyeshadow. What beauty blogger doesn't want to talk about makeup? Then she asked about my nails and how I did all of it! I swear we talked for like 15 minutes! It was really cool, and she was really sweet! :)

So that's my first "skittles" manicure, I hope you liked it! I know that I sure did!

Thanks for reading!
