NOTD - Phoebe, Swedish nude & Pearl Harbor

Hey Lovelies,
How is everyone doing this Glorious Thursday ??
It's been a while since I posted anything new to my blog, I am such a terrible blogger... I've been crazy busy lately but everything seems to be back to normal so I should be back to blogging on a regular basist soon just like old days, hahahah.
I am moving this summer, my bf is being transfered for work, and I think we may have found our "dream" house, HOW exciting!!!
I will try to blog as much as I possibly can but next week I might not do much blogging.. my mother is coming over for the week ( Yayyy, last time I saw my mom was at christmas ) and I am going to visite my "possible" futur beach front house. =)
Anyways, I am here today with a NOTD post inspired by the snow.... ( even if theres barely any here at the moment )
I call this manicure, melting snow.


Pretty neat eh?? I love how it turned out it really reminds me of melting snow :)
If you are interested in a step by step tutorial I would be more than happy to show you gals how I create this manicure. :)
For this mani I used the following polishes:

Zoya - Phoebe,
O.P.I - Swedish nude,
Sinful Colors - Pearl Harbor.


I hope you enjoyed my "melting snow" manicure,
Until next time,
Kisses and fireworks,

Tape manicure tutorial - Lumin-icecent & custom kicks

Hey lovelies

How is everyone doing this glorious Thursday?? Great I hope!
I am here today with a simple tape tutorial.   At the end of yesterday's post I asked you my lovely readers if you would be interested in a tutorial on how I create my manicure, I got some great feedback and lots of you said yes, so here it is. :)

Today, I will show you how to create this manicure using tape: ( note that the colors are different then yesterday but I REALLY wanted to try this manicure with a colorclub foiled polish, I hope that's ok )

For this mani you will need:
-2 nail polishes of your choice. ( for tape manicure I recommend a very opaque polish that requires one  coat )
-scissors.
-Tape \  I used a very thin tape ( about .1cm wide ) that can be purchased at BORNPRETTYSTORE
 but you can always use masking tape or scotch tape and cut out thin stripes.


The first thing you will want to do is paint your nails whatever color you want your stripes to be.
I used: Color Club - lumin-icecent.


Wait til your nails are completely dry ( you can add a top coat like seche vite to speed up the process ) and add your tape. ( refer to the photos below )


Now that your tape is in place you can add your second color on top. ( Tip: Press down on the tape before applying polish over to make sure they are nicely in place )
I used: Custom kicks from China glaze.


Now that you painted your nail, wait about 30 seconds and remove your tape.


Add top coat to smooth out the lines and voila!!! Adorable manicure with the magic of tape. :)

Hey lovelies,

I am here tonight with a NOTD. I was planning on doing a Valentines day inspired tutorial but I suffer from a major headache :( the tutorial will have to wait to tomorrow.

We'll keep this post short and sweet because I am in desperate need of rest.
Here it goes:


For this manicure I used Lucky duck from Orly and two nail art pens.


Well that is all for tonight, of to bed I go.
Thanks for stopping by and come back tomorrow for a Valentine's day special tutorial.:)

NOTD - In the trance, Awakening & Mango Madness!

Hey lovelies,

I am here today with a NOTD post. I did this manicure last night but it was late so I decided to wait til morning to post it. For this Manicure I used two of Cult nails polishes and one elf.
So here it is:
 I am a little disappointed in the photos, they didn't come out as good as I had hoped. :(
For this manicure I used:
Cult nails - in the trance,
Cult nails - Awakening,
Elf - Mango madness.

Some of you probably heard about the cult nails art contest. I am still debating whether or not I should participate.. -_- What are your thoughts?? Do you think this manicure is "art contest material" ??
I find it to be on the not very original side. :(
If I do participate, which photo should I use??
I could really use your help!!!! your feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Oh and if you would be interested in a tutorial please let me know in the comment box below, it probably has been done before but I would be more than happy to show you guys how I did it and how simple it was to pull off. :)

Thanks for stopping by,
Kisses and fireworks,
