NOTD: Pink Sparkle Sparkle

As you can guess, I am still excited about the nail polish I won from Nicole so, I tried some more out! I couldn't decided which glitter to use so I said to myself, "I have two hands and I can do what ever I want!'. HAHA!! That's what I did! On my left hand I used the multicolored flaky glitter, and on my right I made a gradient of the pink and silver glitter. Both of them look great over the pink!

Nail Polish Used:

Nicole "City-Pretty Rose"
           " Heavenly Angel" -- left hand
           " Inner Sparkle" -- right hand

NOTD: 4-H and FFA nails

I said I was going to do more FFA nails, so here they are! I also did some 4-H colored nails on my other hand. You can count on me to be doing more of both!! I got rhinestone happy again... they are so much fun to apply. I had a problem with dang bubbles in all of the nail polishes. I am not sure why they were so angry! :P  Must be the weather.

NOTD: Egg Shell Nails + 100th Blog Post!

This is my 100th blog post!!!! Awesome!! I think it so much fun to blog about nail polish and I look forward for the next 100 after this and after that! Thank you for coming back to my blog, it means a lot to me! :DD

Now on to..... Egg shell nails. Yup, egg shells. Kinda weird isn't it!?! My fuzzy nails were weird but egg shells are pretty interesting!

I asked my dad to save the egg shells when he made his breakfast. After washing them, I proceeded to dye them. I put water and food coloring in plastic cups then put a teaspoon of vinegar in so it would help color the egg shells. I mixed colors to get the purple and orange shells. I let them be for an hour then checked them. They weren't ready yet so I left them for another half an hour. I took them out and let them air dry for a while.

I painted all of my nails white then broke up an egg shell. I crunched it up with the bottom of a nail polish bottle and then sprinkled it onto my nail that had wet top coat on. I put more top coat on top of the egg shells. This actually took me a while, crunching them up then making sure I liked it on my nails.

My nails sounded cool when I hit them together, hehe.

The white I used was just NYC's "French Tip White".

This is the only Nicole polish I had before I got all of these. It stains my nails so badly, even with base coat. I have no idea why it does but every time I use it my nails turn yellow. So, I don't use it very often!! I still like to use it is small amounts in nail art because I love this color green so much.

Make Mine Lime

I won 18 bottles of nail polish!

Before Christmas, I entered in this contest on Facebook through Nicole by OPI. The contest was to take a picture of your holiday manicure with your favorite accessory. At the time I had on my Christmas tree nails so, I took a picture of myself with a sequence Santa hat and my Christmas tree vest on. I was in the top twenty for votes and of those twenty, they picked eight! I was one of those eight, the prize was 18 bottles of Nicole nail polish of my choice from their classic shades, the Selena Gomez collection, and the Modern Family collection. I sent in my colors and it took exactly three weeks for them to get here, they came just a few days ago!

What a colorful animal print!! I tried this two in one look and spiced it up even more with some rhinestones. I loved doing the tiger stripes, they just look so cool!
