Purple Gradient

Hi guys!

Today I did a purple gradient then topped it with my fave..animal print! Gradients have been so tough for me to learn. I don't know what it is with them but I have so much trouble getting something I like. Today the gradient Gods were with me because it turned out pretty good. Heres what I did!

and here are the colors I used..

Kleancolor White, China Glaze Spontaneous, Essie Lilacism, and Out The Door for my Top Coat.


Not to shabby huh! I just might get this gradient thing down after all!

Have a great day!

Glitzology Teal-Licious

Hi guys! Today I have an amazing glitter bomb from Glitzology to show you. I recieved this polish in a swap and immediately fell in love with it. Check it out!

Isn't it beautiful!? Have a wonderful day!

How I love leopard print!

Hi guys!

I did this mani quite some time ago for a guest post then realized I never linked it here! I love this mani so much it is definitely one of my favorites I've ever done. I got the inspiration from this phone case.

Side note. I'm very angry at this case. LOL I dropped my phone and the case totally shattered. Sad day! At least I have this picture and the one of my nails to remind me how awesome it was! ;)

Anyways. Here are my nails!

Pretty close huh? My favorite part about this manicure is the fact that I did it on my nubbins! I have never been confident about doing my nails when they are short this was my first design and I have to say it was a success!








I used Essie Marshmallow as a basecoat. The print was done with Kleancolor-Neon Yellow, Barielle- Central Park (green) Zoya Coco (redish color), and China Glaze Grape Pop (purple). The black was done using a nail art pen made by Cina.

I hope you guys enjoyed this post! Until next time.... Ciao!

Giving Flowers a try!

Hi guys! I'm pretty proud of this manicure. I have always wanted to try out flowers. But I have been to scared to try. I'll let you guys in on a secret. I STINK at art. I can't even draw a straight line. LOL! So when I see anything that isn't zebra, leopard or polka dot print, I immediately get discouraged. I was apart of this weekly challenge; It's sort of like the 30 days challenge but revamped and the topic was flowers. Now I could have taken the easy way out and threw some flower rhinestones on and called it a day but I decided to watch some YouTube videos and try my hand at them. Imagine my surprise when I discovered how easy flowers can be!! Here is what I did.

All it took was a base coat of OPI Jade Is The New Black, Kleancolor Neon Yellow, Kleancolor Black and a dotting tool. How awesome do they look!? To be my first time I was pretty happy with what I did. This will probably go on the favorites list. What do you guys think?

Have a wonderful day! Ciao!

Zoya Pixi Dust Liberty

Hi guys! Todays post might be a little picture heavy because I just couldn't stop taking pictures of this polish!!!! If you haven't seen Zoyas Pixi Dust collection.. you simply MUST!!! It is beyond amazing. It is a textured polish that leaves sort of a grainy feel to your nails and it is all the rage right now. Pretty much everyone has a collection. China Glaze, Orly, Milani..just to name a few.  At first I was a little hesitant to try these textured polishes but Zoya has made me a believer! These polishes are meant to be used without a top coat but if you aren't into the texture you can add one and it becomes smooth and looks just as gorgeous!!! Ok on to Liberty!

Without Top Coat

Now with a coat of Out The Door

Sooooooooo pretty right!?

And because I couldn't leave it alone I decided to add a couple of stripes using China Glaze Liquid Leather.

I LOVE it with the black stripes!

What do you think? Which do you prefer? Let me know in the comments!

Have a beautiful day! 

Happy 4th Of July!!!

I just wanted to take a moment to wish you all a happy and SAFE 4th!! Enjoy your time with your families and light a sparkler for me! :)

Influesnster Spring Fever VoxBox Review

 Hi there!

I am so excited! I was picked by Influenster to review one of their Spring Fever Voxboxes. Whooo! Heres what I got.

My favorite thing in the box had to be the Tastykake Kandy bar Kakes. It was light and fluffy and so delicious! I got the S'mores version it also comes in Peppermint and Peanut Butter and retails for 4.49 a box. No picture I ate it to fast! ;)

Next, Secret Outlast Clear Gel Antiperspirant Deodorant. I love Secret Deodorant. It smells amazing and I never feel like I have an odor when using it. It's great especially during these hot summer months in Sacramento.

My other favorite in the box was the NYC New York Color Applelicious Glossy Lip Balm. It was a light pink shade, perfect for my skin tone! It was also very moisturizing. According to the card included in the influenster box it is full of shea butter, Jojoba Oil, Vitamin E and Avocado Oil. It was great. And I loved that it was a bit sheer. Perfect for going to work or just out to the store.

Now for the things I wasn't quite thrilled with.

Osis Dust It. It's a mattifying powder that is supposed to texturize and give light control to your hair. I am bald so I had my girlfriend try it and it didn't really do much for her hair. Maybe it would work for someone who doesn't have such curly hair I'm not sure but it didn't help her much.

Broadway Nails imPRESS Press-on Manicure. I was not thrilled with these at all. They stayed on for a couple of hours then they were popping off right and left. Eventually I gave up and peeled them all off! I did like the color of them I just wish they stayed on longer. They are very easy to apply just peel off the backing and stick em on! No glue is needed. Though I seriously doubt they would stay on long without it.

 My Influenster box was for the most part pretty awesome. Excuse the weirdly rotated pics they look normal on my computer but for some reason when I upload them to blogger they rotate. Blah technology!
