Pink Lemonade (Polka Dots + Tutorial)

Coral is a great summer color for this year. For this mani, I used  2 coats of L'Oreal #410 Mango-Get-Em as the base and let dry.

Love this color. 

Then, I took a Q-tip (people use dotting tools for dots, but you can just use the tip of a Q-tip like me), dipped it in Claire's Yellow Brick Road. I just poked some dots randomly on my nails. It doesn't have to be perfect, because it's not that noticeable. If polish get on your skin, you can just clean it up with a Q-tip and polish remover.

I just love how it came out, it looked so cute and summer-y! Thanks for looking :)

It comes in different colors-

Rainbow, Mother of Pearl, Black Pearls

When I first saw this at the Sephora in New York City, I had to get them. These caviar nails look so cute and looks like you have little sprinkles on your nails! They come in kits - one pot of caviar pearls and one pot of polish, to go with the caviar pearls.

The one I got is Rainbow -
The base is ciate Strawberry Milkshake, an opaque pale pink, of which I used 1 coat.
I painted all of my nails this pink, and let dry. Some people put the caviar on all their nails, but I only wanted it as an accent. I put another coat on my ring finger and before it dried, I poured the caviar pearls on it through the funnel that comes with the kit. Then, add a drop of top coat over it.
This is what it's supposed to look like:

So cute, right?! I love how it looks. Mine stayed on for like three days and then the caviar started chipping off.

I think that it also looks good after all the pearls fall off, too! They leave indentations and some color behind.

I like how each dent has a color from the pearl that was there. I really like this idea, and I hope you can try it out too! :)

A Basic French Manicure - with gel nail polish!

I love French manicures. They are so classy and go with
e v e r y t h i n g. If I could have a French manicure everyday, I would, but it takes a lot of concentration to make it look nice. For this, I used gel nail polish. This manicure was supposed to stay on for 2 weeks without chipping. This stayed on for 5 weeks. 5 WEEKS! Without chipping! I was soo happy with the results.

Don't mind the little scab on my index finger, I cut it when I was grooming my cuticles! :p

So good. 

I used 2 coats of Harmony gelish Gel Nail Polish #01422 Little Princess for the base. For the white tips, I used one coat of Harmony gelish Gel Nail Polish #01323 Sleek White. I just brushed it on the tips of my nails. This was a really good investment, and I was so happy with the results.

Little Princess

Sleek White

My favorite color is....PURPLE! (picture-heavy)

Okay, so, my favorite color is purple. I absolutely love the color purple and I always have (and NOT just because it's also the favorite color of Justin Bieber and Liam Payne ♥ ). Anyhow, I was at my cousin's house and we were all painting nails and I used some of her nail supplies to do this mani. I used Sally Hansen hard As Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Color #4860-08 Deep Purple, which I love. I think it was only 2 coats.

Then, I found these cute little nail stickers in my cousin's nail supply box. There were all these cute little butterflies and flowers. They are Broadway Nails Fashion Diva nail stickers.

I used a butterfly sticker to put on my ring finger as an accent. So cute!

Sorry for so many pictures! I just really couldn't get the right shot. Hope you like this one! :)

30 Day NBA Challenge Day #4-LA Clippers

For day 4 of the NBA challenge, the team is the Los Angeles Clippers.
Official team colors: Red, Royal Blue, White (I just used red and blue.)
Result:

I really, really liked this one! I don't know why, but I just really liked how it looked. For the base coat, I used two coats of Wet N Wild #414A Red Red, which, alone, looks really good.

Then, after letting that dry, I took out my stamping kit and found this linear design I liked. I used Wet N Wild #445DP Sapphire Blue to stamp the design on my ring fingers.

Thanks for stopping by! :)
