Nail Design: Gold & Orange Blend

If you don't like toes or seeing nail designs on toes, then turn away now! I do most of my designs on my toe nails, rather than my finger nails. Not only is it a lot more simple, but it always last longer than it would on my nails. I hate nothing more than taking the time to do a design, then watch it chip away within a few days.

Unfortunately, I cannot give credit to anyone for this design. However, I certainly did not come up with it on my own. I first saw it on Pinterest, but it didn't have a watermark and the post didn't lead to anyone's blog.

For both the dots and stripes, I used a tooth pick.

Swatch & Review: Julep Nail Color

I recently signed up to be a Julep Maven and received my first box about a week ago. I'm signed up for the It-Girl Maven box simply because you get three polishes, unlike the other boxes. I used a coupon which allowed me to received my first box for only $4, rather than the usual $20.

The first color I tried out was "Oscar"

Swatch & Review: Essie "Mint Candy Apple"

I've been on the search for a perfect mint green and decided to give this a try. It appears more blue than green, which is a shame. However, I absolutely fell in love with the color once I applied it. It compliments my skin tone perfectly, which is a sure way to my heart. Out of all the polishes I've worn, I've gotten more compliments on this one by far. I mean just look at it, it's perfect!

While my search for the perfect mint green continues, I'm quite happy with this turnout.

Nail Design: Pink & Purple Hearts

I'm a little late on posting this... Okay, maybe more than a little! This is the design I did about a month ago for Valentine's Day. This is the first successful manicure I've done using stamping plates.

I used the BM-202 plate for the hearts. You'll also notice I had freshly trimmed nubbins when I did this.

Nail Design: Neutral Polka-Dot

My first nail post!

This is a simple nail design I did not too long ago. I don't currently own any nail dotting tools so I simply used a tooth pick for the dots.
