Week 22: Glamouflage


So just four and a half short hours ago I graduated from High school! To my graduation I wore a military inspired dress that my mom made, and thought my nails ought to complement that, enter... Glamouflage!

To create it I used four different colors: a metalic green, a metalic bronze, and a tan covered in shimmery gold (and of course a top and base coat.) Earth colors + Metalics = Glam Camouflage aka. Glamouflage. What do you think? Does it even resemble camouflage? Let me know!

Week 21: EYES!

Sorry in advance for all the corny eye vs. I jokes.
Eye See You! I origonally planned on doing butterflies this week but I thought eyes would be less time consuming, boy was I wrong! It took at least three different polishes for each eye color. I did Blue, Brown, and Hazel eyes. I actually really love how they turned out.


It's amazing how just adding a few lines of different colors can add so much depth to solid colored circles. So how could I improve them, any feedback? Eye'll see you next week!

Week 20: Birthday!

So I have a very good reason for posting late; at exactly 12:30 this morning I turned 18! That's right I am now a legal adult, I can vote, I can buy loterry tickets, I can do whatever I want. And since I'm an adult I can cover my nails in glitter! They kinda remind me of those Miu Miu sparkle pumps (God those are soo cute, I think I found my birthday wish!) Glitter nails are totally fun and seem to hold up better than my studs and sequins did although my nails do have a couple bald spots now.  So does glitter just scream birthday or what? If you have any ideas for birthday nails let me know!

Week 19: Studs


This week I opted for some badass metal on a sleek black background. I decided to place the studs in a line down the middle (an attempt at stud mohawks.) It really didn't work, especially because my pointer and pinkie nails weren't long enough for lines, but I think they look cool in a cyborg manicure type way. I just hope they last. Last weeks sequins made it only 2 days however, this week I smartly used a top coat. I'll let you know how it holds up.

Week 18: Sequins

This week I did sequins. I used a metalic copper base-coat and then stuck orange sequins on top. I actually really love the color scheme I think it looks rather sophisticated for a manicure that involves glueing sequins to my nails (it also looks great with my skin tone.)

 Maybe if I did it again I would try to place the sequins in some sort of pattern, but I kind of like the hodge podge look. I think the sequins add some fun sparkle and texture. I'm just waiting to see how long they last.
















Let me know what you think sophisticated lady or shimmery tramp?

Week 15,16, and 17: Bedroom Nails




I'm Sorry I know, I've missed three weeks but I was visiting colleges and was stranded without nailpolish or computer access (I really do need a laptop.) So to remedy my mistake I have come up with a way to do three manicures in one!

I started with lace on my thumbs and index fingers to do this I actually painted the lace and then pressed it onto my nails.

Second I did small black and red corsets on my pointer and pinky nails I wish I had found small enough ribbon for bows but alas I did not.

Then I painted my middle fingers in what I like to call "starry night" however it is less Van Goh inspired and more "dot dot" surrot in that it is basically small white dots on top of black polish covered in silver polish with gemstones mixed in for some bling.




When you add it all up (corsets, lace, ambiance inducing stars) you end up with what I like to call bedreoom nails.

Anyway I hope my sneaky plan is enough to appease y'all.

See ya next week.
