Spring Nails

The other day I was looking at the trees and commented on the little buds appearing. The next morning, I looked out my window to find the trees were covered in flowers. Such a dramatic difference, overnight! Spring is here!

In the spirit of the season, I would like to show you some nail polish I have been playing with, that goes well with spring.

Pink and red!

When my mom and sister came to visit me, I decided to make them do their nails, seeing as how they NEVER do! Of course I had to do mine as well. I had some glitter polish that I hadn't tried yet, so I decided to try it out. The glitter polish is "Bejeweled" by KBShimmer. I paired it with Sinful Colors "Dream On." The result was really pretty. The camera was unable to capture the brilliance of the polish, but it was very bright!

winey nails

My nail polish addiction continues. I've been on a purpley kick all of a sudden. I guess it's a nice change from my normal red and, pink right? 

While perusing etsy, like I do, I stumbled across Shimmer Polish, more specifically, her Taylor polish. I about died of excitement (well, not literally, but you know.) It is a jelly wine-purple, with many colors of glitter in it. It is a very dense glitter polish, but that nice added touch of jelly purple makes it AMAZING. I instantly ordered it, and I'm on love.

"No Whine Left", by KBShimmer is what started my glitter polish addiction. I had NEVER seen glitter polish with large glitter pieces in it. I freaked with excitement over this concept, and instantly placed an order. "No Whine Left" is a cream jelly, or "crelly" polish, so it is opaque, but semi transparent at the same time. I now, it sounds weird, but it's beautiful! It contains large hexagonal blue glitter, medium iridescent hexagonal green glitter, and medium/small magenta hexagonal glitter. This polish triggered my massive glitter polish collection, and I couldn't be happier. I got so many compliments on this polish, with reason! It's so gorgeous.

Pink and Purple!

Glitter polish has become an addiction. There are so many options out there! So, while I was exploring etsy, I happened across LushLaquer, in particular Pink Panther. Its a clear polish with various sizes of pink, white, and black glitter. The pink glitters actually have subtle white spots on them. So far I have tried this polish with a light pink and a darker pink. Both look amazing, but have very different effects.

Holiday nails!

In the spirit of the holidays I thought I'd post my favorite holiday nail polishes for everyone!

I recently bought a few polishes from KBShimmer. As always the polishes are amazing! I get so many compliments on my nails when I wear her polishes (even from men!)

The first one is Candy Cane Crush. This polish is part of the Christmas collection, but it would also be good for Valentines Day and the Fourth of July (if you put it on top of blue polish.) Not only is the polish itself cute, but it is scented! Every time I wear it I just randomly start smelling my nails. I started doing it involuntarily. They smell like mint chip ice cream (mmmmm.) My friends were in awe of the smell! It's a clear polish with different sized hexagonal glitters in red and white. The polish part is a tad yellow due to the scented oils in it, so it might not work as well on white, but it works beautifully on other colors. I only had to use 1 layer of the polish followed by 1 or 2 layers of Sally Hansen's Insta Dry top coat to finish it off.
