NOTD: Super Pink Wow Wow

I didn't know what else to call this.... Hahaha!!! I saw it come across my Facebook page and had to try it out! I haven't used my large rhinestones in a while so I was happy to do so here. I also got to use some striping tape! I need to do more with that. I have several colors.
This took me a while to do, but it was so worth it.

For some reason I didn't take a picture of the polish....

Two Years of Blogging!

Today is my two year blogoversary!!!! I remember when I hit one year and couldn't believe it.
Well, my second year I sure fell through on these last few months. I promise not to do that again. That is a goal I am going to keep myself to!
Thank you all who have followed me so far, I have lots of things planned this year! I think I may try and do a giveaway, I have always thought about doing one. It's about time!!

Here are some cute nails in celebration of this anniversary.

Testing out some more Nicole colors!! I love this beautiful pink. It reminds me of sunsets and watermelons. It will be my go to for such designs.

Collection: I won more Nicole!

I entered in a Nicole by OPI contest before Christmas and was a runner-up!! My prize came in the mail last week and here is what I won.

They sent me 28 randomly selected nail polishes. 

I won a contest with them last year, you can see the post about it here and swatches here. 

The ones that they selected for me are from the Selena Gomez and Modern Family collections. That caused some overlap with what I got last time. I will be giving those away to my friends. I didn't take pictures of them because I thought that would be redundant. 

Thank you Nicole!

Scarlett, A Like-Haley Story..., Spring Break, Naturally, I do de-Claire!

Selena, Hit the Lights, Alex by the Books, What's the Mitch-uation?

Love Song, Back in my Gloria Days..., Am I Making Myself Claire?*,  My Jay or the Highway, A Phil's Paradise

Playing Catch Up: Purchases in Louisville

In Louisville, KY for the National FFA Convention, I decided to do some shopping. We stopped at a Walgreens and I found these two things.

Sinful Colors "Unwrap Me"

Nabi dark nude crackle

The crackle polish was on sale and I looked at it and thought to myself, "what a strange color to be a crackle, I must get it." It dries into a matte and is an ok crackle. I don't know what I am going to use it over though... I've never heard of this brand and will probably never see it again. 

I tested out "Unwrap Me" over Nicole "You Can!" 

Playing Catch Up: New Years Eve

Here are my New Years Eve nails! They are super simple, just black and gold. I hope you have a great new year!!

Nail Polish Used:
NYC "Black Lace"
Revlon "Gold Coin"
Nicole "Kissed at Midnight" <--- how fitting...

4th of July Nail Art Challenge: July 1st

For Patriotic Glitter I used several different types of glitters and designs! These mix and match nails look like a bursts of fun and would look very pretty with any other color combo! I have been waiting for a good time to use my chunky red glitter and I was happy I created a look that made it work.

NOTD: Peacocks

I was again inspired by my friend for this one! I did a peacock look a while ago but it didn't turn out so well. Here is my redemption! On my right hand, I have your normal peacock and on my left, and albino inspired peacock!! I really like how my normal peacock turned out. I think the albino needs a few changes but I am still happy,

NOTD: Kansas FFA Convention Cow Nails!

Tomorrow starts the 85th Kansas FFA State Convention! Of course, I had to do some more FFA nails!

Our current state officers! Shout out to Kayla,  my nail polish friend!

Here are my links to my other FFA nail art ideas: National FFA Week

                                                                                My FFA Officer Team

I call these cows with a twist! It is adorable cow print with FFA colors as the accent nail. I would like to thank my friend Sarah who gave me the idea!! On my other hand I wrote out KS FFA, not much going on with it, it is just a feat to write the letters! My yellow nail polish crapped out so I had to use acrylic paint.

Wet n Wild "Ebony Hates Chris"
                   "The Wonder Yellows"

NOTD: Memorial Day Patriotic

It's Memorial Day weekend! I did two designs for the weekend. This is inspired by the American Flag, it would work for the 4th of July as well! It is super simple and very cute. I didn't notice until I was editing my pictures that the star on my ring finger came off......... haha. I just added it again to make it look right.

NOTD: Blue with Mod Dots

This is a very modern and fun design. The dots are supposed to look like a kind of gradient. I thought these were some interesting colors to use, but all together they look cool! The look a bit like fish scales.
I have three blues that look like this Sally Hansen blue, one I bought and the other two were gifts from friends. I am thinking about doing a comparison post to show how similar they are and show which one is the better deal!

Nail Polish Used:
Sally Hansen "Blue Me Away!"
Nicole "A Lit-Teal Bit of Love"
Wet n Wild "Ebony Hates Chris"
E.L.F medium nude
Pure Ice "Twinkle"
Sinful Colors "Snow Me White"

my pinky got smudged so I just cut it out, haha

Day 7: Glitter Tips

Prom is happening all around! That was my inspiration for this!! It is so simple and elegant, I think it would go great with almost all dress colors. It is not overpowering and very beautiful. I may come back to this look some day!

Nail Polish Used:
Nicole "You Can!"
Pure Ice "Play Time"

Day 6: Ombre

I went with happy spring colors from pink to green. I had a friend tell me today it kinda looked like a watermelon! Once she said that, it made perfect sense! I subconsciously made a watermelon..... I also just really like the combination of pink and green. I tried to rush through this, I should have just taken my time but nooo, I had to get it done. The results are bubbles and some strange ripples. I'll say it gives an interesting watermelon like texture!! I used my fan brush to do this. The dark green stained my brush. Dang it!

Nail Polish Used:
Avon "Blushing Star"
         "Olive Green"
Pure Ice "Platinum"
              "First Love"
Nicole "Make Mine Lime"
