NotD: Easy Nail Art

Happy Monday Afternoon! Hope everyone's week started off well. Today, I have some easy but cute nail art. I used Urban Outfitters Slime and Sinful Colors Cream Pink. It's called cream, but it has a pretty little shimmer. As for Slime, I'm pretty sure I mentioned it in a previous post, but the formula sucks. Streaky on the first coat, pulls on the second, and chips so easily. As a matter of fact, you'll see in my pictures that I have a chip on the index finger. How? Well, I painted them late Saturday night so I thought I'd wait until morning for pics in the sunlight. A simple shower (meaning no hair washing) and BOOM! Chip. Yeah. Anywho! On to the pics! ^_^

So, indirect, direct, and alternate view with a guest appearance by my dog. Haha. I really do love the color of slime. It's a shame that I dread ever using it.

I free-handed the half moon and used a dotting tool for the dots. I dipped once for each nail so the dots got slightly smaller from base to tip. And that's it! I hope you like. Have a fabulous week!

NotD & Reminder

Hey, loves! I just wanted to remind everyone that Google Reader is shutting down tomorrow. Please make sure to follow via Bloglovin'. There is a button to the right >> so it's just an easy click.

Also, here are a couple manis that I never got around to posting. The first is L.A. Colors - Wired. Love this dark blue shimmer and great quality for only $1! Went on smooth and covered in 2 coats.

 The second is Urban Outfitters - Slime with Lacquerhead Polish - In the Moonlight. Slime is patchy, streaky and pulls with second coats. But the glitter topper from Lacquerhead is so pretty with blue hexes,  blue holo squares, blue moons & more. It had to be dabbed to get the glitter where you want it, but that's no biggie.

Well, that's all. I hope you'll continue to follow. I have the Mary Kay VoxBox from Influenster coming up. So, stay tuned!

NotD and Swatch

Well hello there! I know my posts have been scarce, but work has been crazy and I just don't have energy for anything by the time I've taken care of dinner and such. I do apologize though. I really miss you all! I will say, it's easier for me to post a quick pic on Instagram. This is not just for nails, but feel free to follow me.

Now, on to the polish! You all might remember my Urban Outfitters haul. Well, there's a reason I don't buy polish that's "displayed" in bins (basically). One was crusted shut and that's when I noticed it wasn't quite full. They have tester bottles, so this kind of peeved me. But not a biggie.

The colors were pretty, and they had a nice variety of glitters that were comparable to indies. Application, however, was streaky and overall disappointing. I would not pay $5 for these on the norm.

Ok, so here's Cherry Tomato. This red is super bright and almost leans toward red-orange in real life. Not my color at all, but my intent was for nail art anyway.

Next is Slime, which looks much more chartreuse in the bottle, and an accent nail of Mystic layered over Blue Jeans. Sorry, I didn't swatch Blue Jeans, but I'm sure I'll be using it a lot. Beautiful color but more purple than anything.

That's all for now. I hope this helped if any of you are picky about how much you spend on polish.
