FingerPaints

The One With the Fingerpaints Floral Manicure

9:00:00 AM


Hello polished world and Happy Sunday to you all!!!  I've really failed at updating the blog, but I've been busy.  I know you've heard this about a million times, but I really need to pre-publish my posts.  Maybe when I do my next back of photo editing.  Ha, said that one before as well.  I also feel like I've been unmotivated when it comes to blogging because the weather was nice this week so I spent a lot of time outside and not inside.  Today though it's going to be in the 40s, so I'll work a tad on this.

Today's design is a spring floral design using one of my favorite purple polishes.  Glittery accent to cover up my middle finger nail injury.  It's growing out really nicely, but it's getting to that point where it's close to being fully grown out and I'm going to have to go to nub nails for a bit.  Ugh I hope I can still paint even when it's at that point.  We will see, I didn't think I was going to be painting this whole time and have been pleasantly surprised.

Let's take a look at today's design!


Colors Used:
  • FingerPaints - Lavender Love
  • ORLY - Mirrorball
  • ORLY - White Tips
Isn't it so Springy??  I don't know what type of flowers I'd call those...poppies...carnations?  Who knows, regardless they're cute.  I love how Mirrorball accents the whole manicure.  It's just perfect to me.

What do you think?  Fan of this look??

Until next time, <3.

Dot Mani

The One With the Sally Hansen Dot Manicure

9:00:00 AM


Good morning polished world!  How are you all doing today?  It's Wednesday and it feels like a Thursday because the week has already been so busy.  Good news though, Spring is finally here!!!  Last week it was snowing, and this week it was in the high 60s low 70s.  Monday, I got to sit outside and take a walk around the village.  It was wonderful.

Since Spring is here, I feel I should clear out the blog of the "wintery" looking manicures.  You know, those designs I did when I wasn't feeling Spring-like at all.  This manicure is just a simple dot manicure I did using some of the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri polishes.  If anyone has any details on how to properly hold one of these bottles, please share because they're so awkward!

Let's take a look!


Colors Used:
  • Sally Hansen - Blacky O
  • Sally Hansen - Silver Stallion
  • Sally Hansen - Petal to the Metal
  • Pure Ice - Spit Fire
I think I disliked this manicure just because I couldn't photograph it correctly because of that dang bottle.  Don't let the bottle sway your decision though in purchasing these Insta Dri beauties.  Silver Stallion covers in one coat and dries so fast.  I think this is my new favorite silver polish.  And you know me and how much I love silver.

What do you think? Fan of this design?  Seriously, does anyone know how to hold an Insta-Dri bottle?!

Until next time, <3.


Flowers

The One With the Zoya Floral Manicure

9:00:00 AM


Good morning polished world!  How are you all doing today?  I forgot to post yesterday despite the fact I have dozens of manicures to share.  Ugh I'm such a failure at pre-publishing posts.  It is what it is though.  Maybe tonight I'll sit down and actually do it.  Highly doubt it though seeing as I need to paint my nails.  I met up with two friends who I haven't seen in awhile last night so my nails are looking pretty messy today because last night was a nail painting night.  It's okay though because I had fun!

Today's design is a floral one.  Spring has not really shown it's face much around here, so I'm feeling floral, but not really in the Spring-y colors...yet.  I say that because when it was warm a few weeks ago I did a few bright pastel floral designs but decided on not sharing them until it got warm again.  Now today it's going to be in the 50s so I could share one of those bright ones, but I don't believe the weather is going to stick around, so here comes the darker transition floral.

Let's take a look!


Colors Used:
  • Zoya - Odette
  • ORLY - White Tips
  • Serendipity Polish - Sunshine Rainbow
I forgot how pretty Odette is by Zoya.  I've used it a few times, but it's in my neutral nude drawer so I easily forget about it.  Two coats and full coverage of this beauty.  It works so well with the gold accent nail.  I love the floral design too.  Simple and pretty.

What do you think?  Like this floral look?

Until next time, <3.


Animal Print

The One With the ORLY Leopard Print Manicure

9:00:00 AM


Good morning polished world.  How are you all doing today??  I'm sorry I meant to post yesterday but it totally slipped my mind.  I've been resting a lot trying to kick this illness and it's working.  Good news, I have a lot of posts ready to go, bad news is I'm just failing at posting them.  Maybe tomorrow I'll sit and pre-publish all of them.  My monthly mani favs at this point are going to be nothing.  I did just get an amazing PR package from Sally Hansen so I'm thrilled my nail is holding up from the injury so I can play with them!

I also just realized I wore my last manicure for four days which is abnormal for me, so that's probably why I didn't remember to post this manicure.  Just a fun leopard design I did to break up all the florals that I've been doing.  Seriously, be prepared, I feel like I've done 4 in a row.

Let's take a look!


Colors Used:
  • ORLY - Liquid Vinyl
  • ORLY - White Tips
  • ORLY - Mirrorball
  • ORLY - For the First Time
Kind of love the color combination.  It's been quite some time since I've done a leopard print.  It was really late the other night when I sat down to paint, so the easiest thing I could think of was a leopard.  For the First Time is one of my favorite ORLY polishes, so it made sense to match it with my all time favorite Mirrorball.  The black, purple, and silver holo....just a wonderful combo.

What do you think?  Fan of this look?

Until next time, <3.
