Girly Nails (NOTD)

A few days ago I was at CVS looking at their nail polishes and I instantly fell in love with this amazing polish by Revlon. It is as it name says, "Girly". In fact it reminds me of Katy Perry every time I look at them. I am pretty sure that if Katy Perry had a nail polish this would be the one. I am very obsessed and will use it a lot during this year. It has a light pink base and blue, purple and pink glitter all over. 
If you haven't tried it please go ahead and do so, you will fall in love too.






Happy Thursday!

Galaxy Nails

This is one of those manicures that I just can't stop staring at. As you may know already these 2 nail polishes are part of my favorites. I decided to combine both together and the result was amazing. For me, they look like galaxy and out of this world nails. 
Hopefully you get to try this same manicure and share it with me!


Nail polishes: Revlon (Vixen) & Confetti (Tazmanian Devil)

Spooky Nails

After searching on Pinterest for hours for cool nail Halloween ideas, I found a few. I decided to do a mixture of different designs and spice up my hand a little bit more. I went for the Frankenstein, candy corn and pumpkin designs. 




Are you painting your nails with any specific design for Halloween?

Awareness Nails

I decided to create this manicure in support for the breast cancer awareness month. I just want to show my support for all the girls that have been through a tough time or who have or had a family member or friend that suffered or is suffering from it. I used Wet N Wild Tickled Pink polish + Love & Beauty silver glitter polish. I love the finished result! 





I hope you like it and do it yourself too!

Dark Wine

After a long walk back and forth through the aisles of my drugstore, I finally found what I was looking for. I wanted the perfect dark nail polish for the Fall season. Luckily after searching for some hours minutes, I spotted it. It is a very dark wine color, under the sun it looks very purple. From far away you can think it is black or dark brown. It just screams Fall and I love that. It is from Revlon and the color name is Vixen
The quality is really nice. With 1 coat you get the exact same color from the bottle and if you want it a little bit darker, you can always apply another coat. I will definitely wear this nail polish a lot during this season.






Happy Weekend!

An ocean & a peacock

The newest addition to my nail polish collection is this beautiful one. Isn't it the most amazing color you have seen lately? It is from the brand Sinful Colors and the name of the color is Gorgeous (804). Seriously the name makes it justice, because it is definitely gorgeous! It reminds me so much of a peacock and a mermaid. It looks lovely on the nails and I will use it a lot during Fall. I also love how it changes the color a little bit under different lightings. 
You just need 1 coat to apply the exact same color from the bottle. The price is really accessible too, for just $1.99 you can have it.

Biting the grapes

After looking for a while for a pretty purple nail polish, I finally found it! I really like the way it looks on my nails. It is the perfect purple/grape shade. I also think it is a lovely nail polish that will be very useful during the fall season. 
It is the Wet n Wild mega last in color 208A Through the grapevines. Consistency is really nice and with just one coat you get the exact same color from the bottle. I've been wearing it for a few days now and it hasn't chipped. Im pretty happy with this nail polish, I completely recommend it.

A bright confidence

Happy August, July brought many positive and happy moments to my life. I wish that August is filled with good moments and experiences. For this weeks manicure I decided to go for bright colors. It is summer and you have to show it, because once its over we will want to bring it back. Lets take advantage of the last days of summer and enjoy them. 
In my opinion yellow is the brightest and most vivid color of all. I did the accent nail with my favorite glitter nail polish, previously seen here. I just cannot stop looking at my nails, I love the way they turned out!

Red and Metallic

Since my last manicure got so many compliments, I decided to do a very similar one. This time I went for the red and the silver, I wanted a touch of metallic polish on my nails and I really liked the way they turned out. I went for vertical and horizontal lines, switching from one finger to the other. 





Red color from: Sinful Colors, Metallic polish from: Wet n Wild, Top coat from: OPI


Happy Monday!

Tip of the day 1

I know that biting your nails is a very bad habit and looks bad. It makes your hands look ugly and with an unattended appearance. My tip for stopping this habit is to have a good manicure. You may think this sounds weird, but the truth is that whenever I have my nails done, either by me or a professional it really prevents me from biting them. They look so pretty and perfect, that just knowing that biting them will ruin their look, prevents me from biting them. 
I hope this tip was helpful and that you take it into consideration.

Pretty Stripes

This nail design just came all of a sudden, it just popped into my mind when I saw the two colors together. I wanted to do something different, so I decided to attempt some pretty stripes on my nails. I think the combination of the light green and the mint colors go perfect together. I think I also did a great job with the stripes, because they look pretty straight, well at least according to me. 
I started by applying 2 coats of light green nail polish.




I used two nail polishes from Forever 21 and their line Love & Beauty

Faded glitter

I just can't get enough of glitter nail polish, to me it is the perfect nail look for this season. It is very on trend, but at the same time it looks very girly and pretty. I decided to try a new glittery look with faded glitter throughout my nails. I concentrated more the glitter on the tip and worked it downwards. I tried not to cover the whole nail so that the effect could shine and distinguish. I used a beautiful silver glitter polish from Forever 21 and a base and top coat from OPI.

Pink Paradise

On my most recent purchase in JCPenney I got this mini OPI nail polish to try it on. I must say I instantly fell in love with the color in the bottle. 



So today I decided to try it and I love it! The color is very pretty and I just cannot stop staring at my nails. This is the second OPI nail polish I own because as you may already know, Im not a big fan of spending a lot of money in nail polish. Im glad I got this mini gift and now I can enjoy it in my nails!





Happy Tuesday!

Bright Confetti

Here is the final result of the incredible Nail polish I got a few days ago. I decided to apply a coat of white nail polish first so that the sparkles will stand out better. I used a white polish from N.Y.C.




Then I applied 2 coats of the Confetti, Tazmanian Devil polish. I loved the final result, I think they look amazing and like a true party in my hands. I don't want to take it off because it definitely lives up to its expectations. It is a good quality nail polish, and its consistency is actually pretty good. 





Any thoughts?

All that glitters

I am not a very frequent shopper at CVS, but yesterday I went in to look for some medicines and I spotted the most beautiful nail polish my eyes have ever seen. It is this beautiful glitter and sparkly nail polish. It is from a brand called, Confetti. It has every single bright color in it, and to me it looks like a very festive party and a pinata in a bottle. I have never heard of that brand before and for $1.99 I decided to give it a try. The color is Tazmanian Devil and Im pretty sure everyone should have this nail polish in their collections. 
A following post will be showing the final result in my nails!







Happy Saturday!
