Summer Flower Nail Design

Hi guys! Summer vacation is finally here for me! Yay! Today I have a super easy and cute flower nail design.

First off I painted my nails with two coats of Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet.

Once that was dry I took a small dotting tool and made five petal flowers all over each of my nails. I used OPI Alpine Snow for the white flowers.

After that I took a toothpick and black polish and placed two to three dots inside the white flower. I used Rimmel London Hot Black to Go. 

 And there you have it! So simple but so cute! I really love this nail design. 

~Have a fabulous day!~

Disney Inspired Nail Design

Hi guys! I can not believe that it is already June! Anyways I am here to show you how I created my Disney Inspired Nails! One of my friend's recommended that I do this design after she found it on Pinterest. 

Products Used:

• CND Stickey Base Coat
• Pure Ice Studette
• Essie Jump in my Jumpsuit
• Rimmel London Hot Black To Go
• Revlon Black Star
• OPI Alpine Snow 
• Konad Stamping Plate in M3
• Konad Special Nail Polish in White
• Konad Top Coat
• Large and small dotting tools
• HK Girl Top Coat

I started off by painting my nails with two coats of each polish. 

On the gold glitter nails I made a little Mickey face. I used a black polish and and the large dotting tool first to make Mickey's face. Then I used the small dotting tool and made two little dots of each side of the big one for his ears. 

On my ring finger I first off painted it with two coats of black polish. After that was dry, I made a line across a little below the middle of the nail with red polish. Then I filled that in. If your line is not as crisp as mine is I would recommend using a black striper brush and just go along the top edge of your red and make a line. 

Once the red polish is dry I took my white polish on a large dotting tool and made two big dots.

On the pointer finger I just created some simple polka dots with my white polish and the large dotting tool. 

On my pinky nail I wanted some stars but I knew that I couldn't draw them myself so I took out my Konad Nail Art Stamping Plates. You can find these on eBay, Amazon or the Konad website. For the stars I used image plate M3. These are a really great tool for nail art beginners because all you have to do is pick out an image plate and stamp it onto your nail. It takes a little practice but once you have it down, they are extremely simple and easy.

Glisten and Glow HK Girl Top Coat Review

Hello guys! I hope your day has been fabulous so far! I have a review on the Glisten and Glow HK Girl Top Coat. Sorry it has taken me so long to do this but better late than never right? 

Okay let us jump straight into this review with the price and where to buy it. You can only buy it online from Glisten & Glow and for the 4 oz refill bottle and the 0.5 oz bottle it costs $55.95. That for me is less than buying each top coat separately at the drugstore. So more me, this is a really reasonable price.   

PROS: 

• Dries very quickly
• Super shiny 
• Doesn't smear nail art 
• Good price

CONS:

• Strong toxic smell
• Terrible for toes - Stains your nail polish color with a black film that doesn't come off unless you use polish remover

*What is on my nails in the picture? ......... It's the limited edition Nails Inc Victoria Beckham polish in Bamboo White. I have a review on that polish if you would like to check it out!*

~Hope this was helpful for you!~

Nails Inc Victoria Beckham Bamboo White Nail Polish Review

Hey guys! I have a review for you today on the Nails Inc Victoria Beckham Bamboo White Nail Polish. This is one of the most hyped up products out there right now so if you want to hear my thoughts on this nail polish, keep on reading! 

First off let's begin with the price. I never thought that I would spend $25 on a nail polish but it ended up happening! I am really excited that I now have this beauty in my possession. Also it was the last one left in my Sephora.  

Personally I think that the packaging is absolutely ridiculous and unnecessary! A single nail polish does not need such a huge box. I am 100% sure that I will find a great use for this box though.  

The packaging on the nail polish itself is very sleek and luxurious. The part of the bottle with the logo is nice and matte as for the top has more of a luster finish. The cap that you remove is weighted. Overall, I love the way that the bottle looks! 

This just is a shot of the nail polish and the front of the box. 

This is just a side view of the polish so you are able to see the stunning color. 

Here is a closer shot of the front of the bottle.

Here is a shot of the back side of the bottle. It is 0.47 fl. oz. 

I adore this brush so much! It makes the application process for this nail polish to be so easy and quick. The brush is very flat but wide which is exactly what I love. 

The whole application process was smooth and easy. But make sure to keep in mind that the first coat might be streaky, don't freak out! Once you apply the second coat everything smooths itself out leaving you with this beautiful, pinky natural nude color. 

RECOMMEND? Absolutely recommend! If you have been on the hunt for the perfect nude pink polish like I was, this is the color for you. I think that this color will look good on any skin tone; lightest to darkest. I think that $25 is a lot for just a single bottle of polish but for me it's totally worth it. Like I said before, I did get the last one at my Sephora and there are not any around me within an 100 mile radius, so if you do find it pick it up! I have a feeling that if you don't get it now people are going to sell it on eBay for a lot more money since it is limited edition! 

*UPDATE* Unfortunately my positive thoughts have changed about this nail polish. I do enjoy the color but the lasting power is horrible. My nails chipped the day after I painted them. It is no longer worth the $25 price tag.

Rose Nails Tutorial

Hey guys! I'm here today to show you how I did my rose nails using acrylic paint. 

Products Used:

• CND Stickey Base Coat
• Essie In the Cabanna 
• Essie After School Boy Blazer
• Craft Smart Acrylic Paints in Pink Chiffon, Bright Magenta, and Apple Tart
• Medium and Small Dotting Tools
• HK Girl Top Coat

First off, paint your nails two coats of a light turquoise blue on your pinky, middle finger and thumb. Then paint two coats of a dark navy blue on your ring and pointer fingers.  

Then take your medium dotting tool and a light pink acrylic paint and make 4-6 blobs/circle shapes on the navy nails. The base for the roses depends on how large your nail bed is. Don't put too many on, otherwise the roses are going to be very compact. 

Now take your darker pink color and your small dotting tool and outline the light pink bases using a "C" shape. Taking the small color and dotting tool, make little lines or "C" shapes inside the light pink. 

Using your green paint and small dotting tool, draw the leaves to your roses using a triangle shape. 

On the blue nails you are going to make one rose on the bottom edge of your nail. Once again like the other roses you will start with your medium dotting tool and the light pink paint and make a blob. 

Next outline the flower and add little lines or "C" shapes in the middle of the flower with the magenta and small dotting tool. Then to finish it off make two leaves with your green paint and small dotting tool. 

Super cute and perfect for this time of year! :)

Fox and Flowers Nail Design

Hello, hello! How are we all doing today? Happy April! 

This has to be one of my absolute favorite nail designs ever! It is just super girly and fun! Just for a heads up, it is extremely time consuming but it is just so worth it in the end! 

Products Used

• CND Stickey Base Coat
• Zoya Stephanie 
• Sally Hansen Coral Reef
• Sally Hansen Lacey Lilac
• OPI Alpine Snow
• Milani Green Striper
• Revlon Gold Coin
• Rimmel London Hot Black To Go
• Sally Hansen Diamond Shine Top Coat
• Extra Small, Small and Large Dotting Tool

Let's get started on this design! (Might be a little longer). 

1. Start by painting all ten of your nails a nice nude pink polish. I do not recommend using Zoya's Stephanie because it is quite hard to work with and it takes about 3-4 coats to build up. I am looking for a better polish to replace my Zoya one. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated in the comments below! 
2. Alright, then you will take your white, lilac, and coral and make a simple five petal flower with the small doting tool on all of your nails except for the ring finger. I recommend doing the same/similar number of each color. Personally I feel that it looks better. 
3. After that, place a gold dot with the extra small dotting tool in the center of all the flowers that you just created.
4. Now it is time for the fox. This can be a little tricky, I also had some trouble while created the fox. However, it stilled looked cute in the end. Take your coral polish on your large dotting tool and start about the middle of your nail. Make a "U" shape down to the middle and then keep dragging the polish down until you almost reach the end of your nail. then push the polish back up to the other side and create the other side of the "U" shape. 
5. Use the same coral polish and fill the top of the fox's face in.
6. Then you want to make two little triangles near your cuticle as ears.    
7. Take your black polish and the large dotting tool and make two eyes and a nose.  
8. Lastly for the fox, give her a little flower as a cute accent near one of the ears. 
9. That is now complete! 
10. Take your fast drying top coat and paint it on all of your nails to seal in all of that hard work! 

XOXO
