Good morning polished world!  Welcome to the beginning of a new week!  April 11th, and I woke up to snow.  The poor daffodils are still blooming but they are the most pathetic looking flowers you will ever see.  It's kind of sad.  It was also reported on the news that the fruit crop this year might be a tad crappy due to this weather.  I guess we will have to wait and see.

Since Spring seems to be absent outside, I'm making sure my nails are as Spring-like as possible.  Today I am bringing you a bright, yellow, daisy manicure inspired by BadGirlNails.  I fell in love with this bright manicure as soon as I saw it on Pinterest and knew I had to re-create it.  Especially since I had recently purchased a perfect yellow.

Let's take a look!

• OPI - My Twin Mimmy
• Orly - Liquid Vinyl
• Orly - White Tips
• Zoya - Tomoko

Look at this manicure.  How gorgeous is it?!  I love the color combination so much.  I never would have thought of adding Tomoko.  I probably would have done two white nails with dots and not liked the manicure as much.  Or I would have done Tomoko and then made my pointer yellow as well.  Or done a yellow pointer and done a white middle finger with black polka dots.  I could switch it up a zillion ways, but I probably wouldn't have come up with this.

What do you think?  Fan of the look?  Something you'd try?  Lover of My Twin Mimmy?

Until next time, <3.

Good morning polished world! Hope you are all doing fabulously.  I just woke up, looked outside, and there is snow on the ground....again.  Right after it was all melted and it seemed to be getting warmer, we get snow.  Oh well, it could be worse.

Since I'm not feeling too Springy, I'm sharing a not so Spring like manicure I did a few weeks ago.  I recently purchased the Color Club Neon Pastel Poptastic Polishes from HB Beauty Bar because they've been on my wish list forever.  They had a great price and a coupon, so how could I say no?  Anyways, I was dying to try a gradient with them because I've seen so many bloggers create subtle beautiful gradients.  Of course though that gradient needed something over it, so I went with a dream catcher since I've never done that type of nail art.

Let's take a look.

• Orly - Liquid Vinyl
• Orly - Mirrorball
• Color Club - Meet Me at the Rink
• Color Club - Under the Black Light
• Color Club - Hot Hot Hot Pants

This post reminds me I need to grab a back up bottle of Orly Liquid Vinyl.  The two I've had for over a year now both are deciding they don't want to be nail polishes anymore.  Which is alright with me since I'm close to the end of the bottle.  By far my favorite black polish out there.

Let's also talk about how my beloved Mirrorball was added to the permanent collection at Sally Beauty Supply which thrilled me because I could get a bottle whenever I wanted.  Only to have my dreams shattered a few weeks ago when I walked in the store and noticed they did a reset to bring in a line of Seche Vite polishes and they discontinued Gumdrop and Mirrorball.  Lucky for me I was able to buy 4 back ups at $2.99.  Still though, kind of hate not having my back up in the store available just in case something happens to mine.  If you don't have this polish, I highly suggest you go find it because it's wonderful.


The Color Club polishes are just fabulous.  Would I use them for a gradient again?  Probably not.  They took awhile to become opaque over the white base.  I think I had to paint the sponge four times to get what I did for this design.  I swatched them on a nail art wheel and they have beautiful application, which negates a lot of reviews I read online.  Maybe they reformulated them?  Who knows.

Regardless, I think my dream catcher is on point.  I'm so proud of it.

What do you think?  Fan of this design?  Do you like the Color Club polishes?

Until next time, <3.

Good morning polished world!  How are you all doing today?  It's April 5th, and well it snowed here.  We went from 60 degree weather to 20s and snow.  The poor daffodils didn't stand a chance.  Hopefully they perk back up when this melts.  That is if we get warmer weather in the near future.

Despite it being cold out, my nails are very Springy!  Today I am bringing you a negative space daisy manicure inspired by BadGirlNails.  I know that negative space manicures are all the rage, but I've never really gotten into them.  I think the only manicures I can even consider to be negative space that I have done are my gradient dot manicures on top of a naked nail.

These daisies though are beyond out of my comfort zone though.  You can see my nail line....soooo not used to that!  I may or may not like it.....

Let's take a look!

• Sally Hansen - Pink Cadillaquer
• Sally Hansen - Lemon Heaven
• Sally Hansen - InstaDri White

Lemon Heaven is such a pretty yellow polish.  Three coats, but that's normal for most pastel yellows that I've used.  If you guys find a pastel yellow with complete coverage in two coats, let me know!  Pink Cadillaquer is a gorgeous pink shade.  Two coats for this beauty.

What do you think?  Are you a fan of the Miracle Gel polishes?  Fan of the negative space look??

Hmmm I wonder if I could do a Miracle Gel water marble and if it would last for four days.  I might have to try!

Until next time, <3.


Oh, P.S.  I might be hosting a giveaway coming soon!!!! :)

Good morning polished world!  How are you all doing on this fine Saturday?  We just had 60 degree temperatures, and now it's dropping into the 30s and we are supposed to get 3 to 6 inches of snow.  Only in my town this would happen, but oh well.  I kind of think it's pretty when it snows and the daffodils are peaking out bloomed. I'll try to snap some pictures and share on Instagram if it really does happen, because let's face it, 9 times out of 10 the meteorologists are wrong.  Maybe it's some awful April Fools joke.

Today I am sharing with you a recreation of this manicure by 25 SweetPeas.  I love lavender so so much.  It's one of my all time favorite colors and unfortunately my nail polish collection is severely lacking this color.  Every time a lavender is released in a collection, I run to the store for it and it's the first that is sold out.  It must be everyone's favorite.

So when I received a bottle of Lavender Love by FingerPaints from the new Ashley Tipton Collection, I nearly jumped for joy.  I need to go by Sally Beauty and buy out their stock because this polish is perfect.  I'll talk about it more after we take a look at the manicure!

• FingerPaints - Lavender Love
• NYC New York Color - NY Princess

I also love NYC New York Color in NY Princess which is on my ring finger.  These polishes were released last year as part of the Fashion Queen Collection.  All the polishes in this collection where glitter packed jelly polishes.  Also known as, jelly sandwich in a bottle.  Three coats for my manicure but you surely could get away with two coats!

What do you think?  Do you love lavender as much as I do?

Kind of loving the flowers on this one now that I look at it more as I type this.  They are supposed to be roses, but kind of look almost like carnations.  Maybe?  I don't know.  Regardless, I love it.

Until next time, <3.
