Spring Blossoms

Hello!

First off I want to say "Hi!" to all of my new friends! I hope you all have been enjoying my blog, and I'm so glad you were excited about my giveaway! For those of you who were super excited about a little monster from Little Lazies being included in my giveaway, keep an eye out on my Facebook page for a picture of my Little Lazies collection! Thank you for supporting my blog <3

I have a super random floral nail art to show you all tonight. I started out with just a plain mani using Love & Beauty- Babyface from Forever 21. On the label this polish is called Baby Blue/ Hot Pink, but that's another story. It's a really precious, blue-gray crelly with teeny tiny black glitters, and holographic and pink hexes. I thought it needed a little something, so I got out a flat nail art brush and painted on some flower type things. I'm not entirely sure if they are flowers, but that's what I'm going with! The flowers are done with Zoya- Reagan with a bit of silver doted in the middle.

I hope you all have a great weekend! Is there anything special you would like to see on my blog? Let me know!

Spring Has Sprung!

Hello!!

I hope everyone has had a great week! I was feeling springy today, and decided to try my hand at some floral nail art. I really had no idea where I was going with this, but I think it turned out kinda cute!

For this mani I used Zoya- Coraline as my base. Coraline is a bright jelly orange. I used three coats, and it still showed my tips a bit. Then I used Zoya- Lara (medium pink) and Shelby (light pink) to create my flower. I used a tiny nail art brush, and just painted lines in a semi circle half way up my nail. To create a bit more dimension, I added a bit of Zoya- Belle for some sparkle. Then I poped on an orange rhinestone to make it a bit more flower-esque. It kinda looks a bit like daises, and I love that it's so bright!

I've really been into simple nail art lately. If you have any suggestions I should try, let me know!

Hoppy Easter!

Happy Easter!

I hope everyone is having a great day so far! I have a super fun Easter mani to show you all. Spring has officially sprung, and I'm so excited for wear bright colors and not look crazy! I knew I wanted to do a gradient, and a little baby bunny, so this is what I ended up with!

The polishes I used were Zoya- Shelby (pink), OPI- Rumple's Wiggin' (purple), OPI- No Room For The Blues (blue), Essie- Mojito Madness (green), and China Glaze- Lemon Fizz (yellow). I was in a bit of a rush, so some nails didn't get as even of a gradient as I would have liked, but I love the final result! I'm so ready for warm weather, and these colors make me so happy! For my little bunny I used white acrylic paint. The glare makes his ear look a bit funny, but I promise he isn't so deformed in real life LOL.

So now I have some life things to talk about... I recently started Esthetician school, and there are a few things that might effect my blog. I had to cut my nails super short, I can only wear neutral polish, and if I have any polish on I have to wear gloves. Rarely do I not have a glitter polish on, and the only neutral polishes I own are pinks and grays. I'm hoping I will be able to post on Friday nights. I was curious if you all would be open to me posting about my experiences and such, or just strictly doing nail posts when time allows?

Let me know!

A Simple Zoya Combo

Happy Friday!

Oh man, have I been lazy. I'm not gonna lie, it's been hard for me to get back into the swing of things since I got back from vacation. I seriously haven't had anything on my nails but OPI Nail Envy for probably the past week and a half. On the bright side, I'm really liking Nail Envy! My nails have been growing SUPER fast! Can't tell yet if it's strengthening them, as my nails like to break left and right. So far so good!

I have a Zoya combo to show you guys today. A little while back, Zoya did a BOGO, or something like that. I picked up two of the Pixie Dusts, and a few other polishes from the newer collections. I decided I wanted to do a simple design with Vespa, which is part of the Pixie Dust collection, and Neely, part of the Lovely collection. I wasn't quite sure how I would feel about the Pixie Dust polishes. I like my polish smooth and glossy. I'll tell you my decision on them at the end! I did three coats of Vespa, and added two coats of Neely on my ring finger. Then I did what I'm calling "gradient dots" with Vespa on top of Neely. Pretty simple, but I'm enjoying it!

Three coats of Zoya- Vespa

Two coats of Zoya- Neely

Here's the mani with one coat of Gelous and one coat of Poshe. I couldn't help it. 

Now the texture of the Pixie Dusts was not as bad as I expected. It really was weird though. I don't hate the way it looks without a top coat, but I LOVE it with one. It sparkles regardless! I found one coat of Gelous and one coat of Poshe plenty sufficient to cover the texture. Who knows, I might pick up the rest of the collection just because I love Vespa with a top coat!

Tough Love

Hello Everyone!

Sorry for the lack of post last week. I had a some what horrible cold/flu/bug that had me doing nothing but laying in bed pretty much all week. But I'm back with another Valentine's Day mani! I wanted to do something a bit darker, and I wanted to use some studs. I ended up with a mani that I'm totally loving!

For my Tough Love mani I used two coat of OPI- Black Onxy on all but my ring finger. On my ring finger I have two coat of Zoya- Delilah, which is one of my all time favorite reds. I added studs to all the Black Onyx nails. The studs are from Born Pretty, and I'm pretty sure they are 2mm. Now for the lovey dovey part! I practiced drawing hearts with a dotting tool until I was happy with how they turned out. All you really have to do is place two dots fairly close together, and sort of drag polish to connect them in a point at the bottom. Then I drew a few on top of Delilah, and added a few dots in the empty spaces. I like how it's a Valentine's Day mani, but with an edge!

I hope you like it! I sure do! I also have a Born Pretty coupon code in the side bar for you all to use if your interested!

Valentine Hearts

Hello, Hello!

I have a Valentine's Day mani to show you all today! I wasn't quite sure where I was going with this, or how it was going to turn out, but I'm pretty happy with it! I'm sure I will have a few more lovey dovey manis before Valentine's Day, so be on the look out!

For this mani I started out wanting to do a skittle mani. I think I ended up about half way there. I used Zoya- Purity, a basic white, and Julep- Penelope, a light baby pink with a jellyish finish. Purity is on my middle and ring fingers, while Penelope is on my pointer and pinky. Three coats of each. I wanted to add a bit of sparkle so I used a JessiGeeWhiz glitter in Gift Wrap, which is from her Holiday 2012 Collection. Jessi makes loose, solvent resistant, nail art glitters that are so darn gorgeous. I find it's easiest to apply them if you just use a basic clear polish, and dip the brush right into the glitter. I cut out hearts from painters tape, applied it to the dry nail, then just applied the glitter and pulled it off. The other nails each have one coat of glitter. The sparkle doesn't show up as good as it does it real life. I really like how this turned out!

Christmas Party Nails!

Hi Everyone!

I have some super fun Christmas nails to show you today! These are actually the first Christmas nails I've done all season. I work in retail and holiday hours are consuming my life at the moment. I haven't had much time to do anything to my nails but slap some polish on! I'm showing you the first of three JessiGeeWhiz glitters that I purchased a little while ago. The one I have for you today is called Christmas PJ's!

All of the JessiGeeWhiz glitters come in a little jar that contains 3.5g of glitter for $2.95. They are all solvent resistent, and are so absolutely gorgeous! There are a few different ways you can apply the loose glitter. I prefer to take a cheap, clear polish, I used Color Club, and just dap the brush into the glitter. Then apply it to the nail adding more clear polish as you go along to smooth it out. For me, it's the easiest, and least messy way to apply it. When I'm all done, I just wipe the brush off. Any glitter that got into the bottle just sinks, so it's easy to use the same clear polish over and over again! It also makes clean up WAY easier because you don't have glitter all over the place.

Christmas PJ's is made up of just red and green glitter. For such a simple combo, it sure it gorgeous! I used Zoya- Shawn as a base, and did two coats of Christmas PJ's. It seriously has amazing coverage for a loose glitter, and I think that also has to do with how I apply it. I don't find it to be any thicker then a regular glitter polish. On my ring finger I taped off a little tree and added a silver star. I'm excited to have such festive nails!

I'm hoping to have a few more Holiday manicures up soon! 

Zoya- Aurora

Whoa! Long time, no post! I'm sorry everyone! With my powered being out and then all the school work I had to do, I lost track of time. To be honest, I think this is my first time painting my nails this week! Man, do I have a stunning polish for you today. When I first saw the press release for the Zoya Ornate collection, I wasn't quite sure how I felt about them. I was afraid the holographic polishes would be dupes for ones I already had. I was so, so wrong. I have Aurora to show you today, and it's a definite stand out in this collection!

Zoya calls Aurora "a sugarplum purple" which I think is pretty spot on for the color. I find it to be a bit more pink on the nail then in the bottle. The neatest thing with the Zoya holographics is that they have micro holo glitter not holo shimmer. I think that is what really makes them stand out. It really sparkles on the nail and is totally noticeable in indoor lighting. I was expecting Aurora to be three coats but it only needed two. It is seriously a beautiful polish. Aurora has definitely been added to my top Zoya picks!

Have you picked up any of the Zoya Ornate polishes? I picked up Blaze as well and I'm so excited to wear it!

Lattice Nail Art

Welcome and thank you to all my new readers! I hope you all are enjoying my blog and are excited for my giveaway! <3

I have a simple yet fun nail art for you guys today! I am way to excited for this post! Seriously, I'm in love with the way this mani turned out. It's so elegant but still packs a punch. I decided I would call this a "lattice" design. It is super easy because all you need is striping tape. Oh, and polish of course. The layout is fairly simple. It's three pieces of striping tape diagonally placed with three more placed in the opposite direction. I really love the color combo I chose!

For the base of my lattice design I used Zoya- Natty which is a dusty navy from their Fall 2012 collection. This is such a pretty color and of course has amazing formula like most Zoya's. I used two coats. The polish that really makes this design pop is Catherine Arley- 667. I applied 667 after I laid down my striping tape. It's a gorgeous smoky gray holographic polish. 667 looks awesome against Natty. It's just so, so pretty!

Two coats of Zoya- Natty

Aren't Catherine Arley polishes so stunning!? I can see myself doing this mani in a bunch of different color combos. Not to mention it's probably the easiest nail art I have ever done. Hope you guys like it!

Also, you guys might have noticed that I have a Born Pretty Store code listed on the side of my blog. I was contacted by them and I have agreed to review some of their products. I am in no way affiliated with the company and I will not be paid for the reviews I do or be compensated from you using my discount code. Any reviews I do for them will be my honest opinion! It was very nice of them to offer me a 10% off code for my readers to use! If you are interested, my 10% off code is JEL91. I'm pretty excited and I hope you guys are to!

Zoya Splatter Mani!

Hi everyone! I tried the splatter technique finally! I always look at how pretty splatter manis are but I was always a bit intimidated by them! They looked so messy and to be honest, they really are. I learned some things along the way that will make the process a bit earlier from now on. I'm really excited to try my hand at it again soon!

For today's splatter I used two Zoya colors, Kristen and Feifei. I'm seriously obsessed with how pretty this is! For a basic splatter mani you sill need your polishes, a straw (I cut mine in half) and either tape or Vaseline to protect around you nails. Protecting around my nails is where I really messed up! It slipped my mind and man did I regret it! I had to basically scrub FeiFei off my hands for about ten minutes. For my right hand I applied Vaseline all around my nails and that helped a bunch because I could just wipe everything right off. Manicurator has an awesome post on how to use a spray bottle instead of a straw so I think I might try that next time!

For this mani, I started with two coats of Zoya- Kristen which is a soft, greyish blue. It definitely leans more blue on me. I love this polish because it's opaque in two coats. For the splatter I used Zoya- Feifei which is a very hard color to describe. It's sort of a metallic blue base with flashes of green, gold, blue and pink sparkle. It's super gorgeous and flashy! I love the parts of the splatter where it's like a little blob of polish because you can really see the complexity of Feifei. I included an extra photo so you can see the all the crazy shimmer!

Isn't Feifei a beauty?!?! How do you think my first splatter mani turned out? I think it's pretty good!

Glitter Gradient Featuring Zoya And Girly Bits

Hi guys! I hope your week is well so far! I actually have my first glitter gradient mani for you today! I've done the spong gradient, which you all have seen, but I have never done one with a glitter. For this mani I used Zoya- Paloma, a gorgeous jelly, and Girly Bits- Razzle Dazzle, a crazy holographic pink glitter. I will tell you right off the bat, these pictures do not properly capture how gorgeous this mani is in real life. You can find Girly Bits from the Big Cartel shop and from Llarowe.

Zoya- Paloma is a bright, berry colored jelly. Paloma is opaque in three coats and is super glossy when dry. As soon as I got Paloma I knew I had to pair it with Girly Bits- Razzle Dazzle. Razzle Dazzle is amazing! It's pretty opaque for a fine glitter. I would imagine three coats would be prefect for a full mani. This is my first time wearing both polishes and I know I will be wearing them again. They are just gorgeous together! I really wish this would have photographed better because it's stunning and I can't stop staring at my nails.  I hope you can get the idea of how pretty this is!

So I have developed a major Halloween polish obsession and I want almost every one I see. Be prepared for a lot of Halloween posts in the next month LOL

Zoya- Kate and F4 Polish- Coal Sea

Oh sweet Jesus! I think this might be my favorite mani I've done in awhile! I was looking through my box of untrieds, which is ridiculously overflowing btw, and I scavenged these two babies out for a mani. Man are they prefect for each other! It's probably going to take me an hour to write this post because I keep stoping to look at my nails. I'm just enamored with the F4 Polish in Coral Sea! The funny thing is that I'm not sure I would have ordered it on my own. Coral Sea was a goodie that the wonderful ladies of F4 sent me with an order. If I haven't said it a million times already, those ladies are seriously amazing and have a knack for creating some seriously gorgeous polish! Be sure to stop by their Etsy shop if you haven't already. They are on vacation till August 22nd but the shop will reopen when they return! Zoya- Kate is part of the Birchbox Blogger Trio which I'm pretty sure you can only get from Birchbox.

Zoya- Kate is a super squishy, bright pinky-orange jelly. It applies nicely and is opaque at three coats. I'm not to much of an orange girl but I do love Kate on. Zoya really knows how to do jellies! Coral Sea is a pretty simple polish but it packs a big, glittery punch! It's made up of holographic purple glitter and slightly larger pinkish-orange matte glitter. You seriously need to see this polish in person because pictures don't do it justice! It sparkles like no buddies business. The ladies of F4 sure know how to make a awesome glitter polish. I have yet to use a polish from them that I don't like, no joke.

Three coats of Zoya- Kate

Two coats of F4 Polish- Coral Sea

One coat of Gelous

One coat of Poshe

Now wipe the drool off your face and go buy you some F4 Polish! They have swatches of a few polishes they are releasing soon so be sure to like them on Facebook!

Reader's Choice Wednesday Featuring Candeo Colors

Hello everyone! I have some bad news for you... I think my camera might be dying. It's been making a super weird noise when it focuses and I can't seem to make it stop. No matter how far I zoom out or in, it doesn't focus all the way. Sorry ahead of time if my pictures are a bit wonky! Anywho, I have a RCW post for you today! Candeo Colors- Mallard was the winner! The polishes can be purchased from the Candeo Colors website. Just check the Facebook for restock info.

Mallard has some of my favorite colored glitter all in one polish! I think it predominantly has silver, green and purple hexes as well as smaller glitters. Who cares, it's just so glittery! It is a clear based polish so I chose Zoya- Caitlin as a base. I do feel that Mallard is slightly prettier in the bottle. Something just doesn't translate on the nail. It's very pretty but the colored glitter doesn't really stand out as much as I would like. Maybe I'm still to fixated on matte glitters LOL. It applies fairly smooth but does seem a smidge thick.

Two coats of Zoya- Caitlin

Three coats of Candeo Colors- Mallard

What do you think? Do you own any Candeo Colors? If so, which ones?

Lazy Days of Summer- Favorite Beach Towel

Hi everyone! Sorry for posting two LDoS challenges in a row! I was just to excited for this one because I LOVE how it turned out! Todays challenge is ment to be inspired by your favorite beach towel. The towel I chose has zebra stripes accented with multicolored stripes. I was hesitant because I've never free handed stripes and at the moment my nails are quite short. I didn't want it to turn into a jumbled mess. I seriously love the way this turned out though! I didn't even want to take it off. This might be a favorite mani I've done in quite awhile.

The base color is Maybelline- Porcelain Party. Definitely not the best white. Don't wast your money on it. I think I did about four coats. I used a random black striper polish along with Essie- Van D'Go and Play Date with Zoya- Shelby and Wednesday. I just used a thin striper brush for the colors. I wish I had taken a picture with my towel but alas, I did not. Totally my favorite challenge so far! I'm very proud of myself because it turned out so pretty! This is one of those mani's where you need to let everything dry before you top coat it or it will be smudge central.

21st Birthday Mani!

Woohoo, it's my birthday! I figured I would spice my mani up a bit and do a cupcake nail. Now I'm not that great at nail art and my clean up was a bit messy because I was in a rush. I think it turned up pretty cute though! If you can't tell from the title of the post, it's my 21st birthday! So it's party time tonight! Not really, I'm just going out with to eat with friends,but regardless I think it's going to be fun! I bet you can't guess what brand I used for this mani? If you guessed Zoya, you are correct! I seriously can't get enough of the Zoya Beach & Surf collection, and I have a slight love affair with Zoya anyway. I'm pretty sure it's my favorite brand. Sorry if you guys have been Zoya-ed out! I used Zoya- Rory with just a tiny bit of Zoya- Shelby and Essie- Marshmallow on my cupcake.

Re-Swatching My Stash!

Hi everyone! I hope all of you are having an awesome week so far! I have a pretty bad cold so I've been trying to chill as much as possible. That said, I have been keeping myself VERY entertained with what I'm about to show you! I just put together my second Melmer and am in the state of organizing my stash. I was really getting fed up with my swatch wheels of all my polishes. Does anyone else get annoyed when you fill up a wheel with a brand, color coded I might add, only to buy a new polish and it not be swatched with the others? It annoys the crap out of me! So I have all these swatch wheels with who knows what colors on them because I was just tired of keeping track. In come the 250 nail swatch sticks (I have no idea if this is what the're called) that I ordered off Ebay! Oh, these babies are awesome! Especially if your like me and hate the inconsistency of swatch wheels. You can order them in batches of 50 and they come with a long double ended screw to hold them together. I opted to use binder rings for mine but more on that later. They're pretty inexpensive. I paid around $20 for all 250, including shipping.  I may be crazy for starting the project of re-swatching all my polishes, but believe it or not I quite enjoy it...yes I'm weird. I have for you a picture of my Zoya collection all nice and organized!

It pleases me to know that I can get new Zoya's and still have all of them swatched in one place! I chose to use binder rings for mine because it's easy to take the sticks off and add new sticks on. I also chose to label mine with stickers as opposed to writing on the stick. Did I have a reason for doing it that way? No, I just wanted to make it more complicated for myself :P

Here's a picture of the supplies I used.

   - Nail sticks

   - 1.5"binder rings

   - 3/4" X 1 1/2" labels (theres 504 of these so I won't need a new pack any time soon)

   - Nail polish of course!

So I think it's safe to say that I have a couple days of swatching and labeling to do! How do you guys keep your swatches, or do you swatch at all? Let me know! I'm always looking for new ways to organize!

The blog is getting super close to the 100 follower mark! I'm so excited to do my 100 follower giveaway, so if you guys could share my blog with your friends that would be amazing! Don't forget I'm also doing a giveaway when I hit 50 Facebook likes as well! 

Gradient String Mani

GAH, sorry for the lack of posts in the last week! I've been busy with family stuff, but I'm back with a super fun mani for you all today! I've been messing around with gradient nails for the past week, none of which I got to properly photograph. I decided it was time to do a gradient nails post when I had a hankering to try out a string mani as well. I thought to myself, why not combine the two! So I have for you my first gradient string main! I decided to make the base a gradient instead of gradienting (which is probably not a word) the string effect, and I love how it turned out! I'm not much into nail art but both of these techniques are very easy to do. I may do tutorials in the future but for now check out The Nailasaurus tutorial for the gradient effect and Manicurator for the string effect! By the way, my left hand, aka photography hand, turned out WAY better then my right hand. I suppose it will get easier to do my right hand with some practice. I should also mention that my topcoat bubbled, which has never happened before. I have a feeling it was just because of the texture of the strings so if your trying this, I suggest possibly adding two coats to finish it off :)

A few posts back I mentioned that Poshe makes my Zoya's shrink, and I have found a solution! If you use one coat of Zoya Armor topcoat then one coat of Poshe, no shrinkage!

Holy Nail Mail!

It's nail mail time!!! I have a swap and some haulage to show ya! I had set up a swap a little while ago in one of the nail polish groups I'm in on Facebook, and the wonderful Traci from The TraceFace Philes had me! Did I mention how awesome Traci is? You should really go check out her blog! Besides the swap, I did a lot of buying this month. Some of which isn't show in the pictures because it's either for swaps or presents! I managed to get quite a few polishes off my wish list. Even the super elusive Nail-Venturous- FLOAM! *coughcough giveaway coughcough*

First up is my swap with Traci! In the same order as the picture, she got me China Glaze in Raydiant, Polarized, and Full Spectrum. Venique in Top Thong (am I the only one that thinks this is a rather odd name?). Anise in Wrapped in Clouds and Exotic Choice. Depend Cracked Effect in 5006 and 5009. H&M in Pink and Metallic Blue. Thanks again Traci <3

Next is my Zoya Earth Day order! Again, same order as the picture. Wednesday, Zuza, Shelby, Rory, Lara, and Reagan. Gorgeous much?

Finally, Nail-Venturous! Now these are from two different orders. Toxic and Pinkerbell I ordered from her Etsy shop and I got Floam from Ninja Polish. If any of you tried to order from Ninja Polish when they stocked a week ago or so, you know the site crashed and wasn't working pretty much all night. I was somehow able to put an order in that included quite a few goodies ;) Might I add that the OCD in me hates that the Etsy and Ninja Polish bottles are different...

I think it may be time to put together my next Melmer...

Zoya- Zara

So, I amazingly have a non glitter polish to show you guys! I picked up Zara back during the holidays when Zoya was having all those crazy promotions. When I got my package, Zara was the first one I wanted to wear. Yet some how I'm just getting around to wearing it! Ah, I do love a good purple and with a golden shimmer none the less! The shimmer in this polish is amazing! This to me is a perfect polish. A little on the sheer side, but totally build-able. I only have one problem with Zoya's. What is it you might ask? THEY SHRINK LIKE CRAZY! Now this may just be me, but Poshe makes them shrink within an hour of application. I do have the Zoya Armor top coat, of course I forgot to apply it before Poshe... The point of this is that I had to rush to take pictures of my mani before it shrunk. Don't get me wrong, Zoya is one of my favorite brands and with all the promos they do, who wouldn't love them! Hopefully next time I apply a Zoya, which will be in the near future seeing as how I ordered six during the Earth Day Trade In, I will remember to apply Armor beforehand. I shall let you know how that goes! On to the pictures!

Three coats of Zoya- Zara

One coat of Poshe

I though I should also let everyone know that I will be having two giveaways in the future. One for when I hit 100 followers and one when I hit 50 likes on my Jessica's Nail Tales Facebook Page!

Also be warned for a major nail mail post sometime within the next two weeks. I've been a very bad girl ;)
