Black Glittery French, Winter Ball Mani

Hi everyone! Last night was Winter Ball, a Moonlit Masquerade. I went with my date, my bubu bear :3 I've had my nails bare for almost a week already because I didn't know what dress I'm doing to wear. So I bought a black and gold dress, I'll probably have some pictures if you guys want haha :P
SO ANYWAAAYYY, my nails. I decided to go with a black french, so I can match my dress. I do believe I've seen something similar and that was probably what inspired me but I honestly can't remember where I've seen it, so sorry!




Do you like the holo? :D


I used 2 different lightings for these pics, tell me if you like the lighting on the first and second picture, or the other ones!

Here's what I used:
Nameless Shimmery Onyx Love and Beauty color, Claire's Glitter Topcoat, Icing's Frost Yourself, Essie's My Private Cabana


And then I just stamped on some flowers and added rhinestones :3 Hope you guys like this mani, because I LOOOVE IT. What a way to remember Winter Ball (:

Impress: Halloween Hot Headed?

Hi my cutie pies! :3
So todayyyy, I have some stick ons to show you! They're from Broadway's false nail line: imPRESS, and from the new Halloween Collection! :D I picked these up last week at Walgreens for 8.99, not too bad. This one is called Hot Blooded. I have quite a bit to say about these, but I'll save that for later. Pics first :3

Excuse the tips on the middle finger, I had to file them down for them to  not be so obviously fake...


So, these come in 4 different designs:  One: Spiderweb and Skull, like on my Thumb. Two: Half Spider web, index and ring, three, full spiderweb, middle finger, four skull, pinky.


And they have glitter :D
 These also have numbers behind each nail as sizes, and I picked a size 1 for my thumb because that's the only size that has the skull design and semi-fits my thumb... Still a bit big though, so I had to file it down.


A complaint though.... ugh. These are so flat... And my nails are very curved so they don't lay flat against my nail bed and things can get in between there ): Despite that, I still like the shape it gives my nails, almost a fuller shape. Do you get what I mean? Hahaha, my natural nails aren't this wide, and I actually like it wider! Just very inconvenient with these fakes ):




Blurred this a bit, hoping it would capture the glitter better... apparently not ):
 Likes:
Sooo smooth and shiny :D
Looks very cool, and I get complimented EVERY SINGLE SECOND.
Color combo looks very nice together.
Decent thickness
Makes my nails look wider :3
Comes in a pack of 24 LASTS LONGGGGGG.

Dislikes:
Very heavy on your nails
Not curved enough for curvy nails. More malleable would be nice.
Certain designs come in certain sizes, can't guarantee which design would fit. If you like a certain design, then you either cross your fingers that it will fit, or just file it.


All in all, I actually like these :3 Probably just because of the constant compliments though haha, because wearing it does cause a bit of pain on my nails... ): I love this design and I'm hoping to pick up some more from the Halloween line! :D

That's it for today my sweethearts, see you next time :***

Ants in my Pants

Hi everyone! Hope you guys had a wonderful Labor Day :3 I sure did! Full day of doing nothing hahahah. Anyway, I was flipping through my closet the other day, and I spotted these pair of shorts I made in... 8th grade? Sewing class hahaha. And the print was really inspiring so I did a mani on it!

 



Kind of a fail though, I made most of them too fat, like snowmen shaped, hahah. And I crammed too many of them onto my index finger ); But nonetheless, I love them!
Here are the polishes used:
Sally Hansen White on, nameless dark pink, Sinful Colors Ruby Ruby, LA Girls Fairytale, Sinful Colors Black
Would you like a simple pictorial perhaps?

Hehehhe, hope you guy like this! Because I LOOOVE IT <3 p="p">

Vamp

Haiii :3
So yea, another design I had in my folder that I never posted. Again, these were taken with my phone... so apologies for the quality! This was waayyyy back when I had sharp nails hahaha, good times! Might go back to that, what do you guys think?


Look at how long my fingers look :P That's one thing I like about having claw nails!

For this mani, I used 2 coats of Sinful Colors Ruby Ruby as a base. This stuff is really pigmented, yet thin. I'm not sure how to describe it, like it's pigmented but not opaque as in it cannot block out the colors underneath. Okay I have no idea what I'm saying. Just that I love this red! And China Glaze Liquid Leather for details with a striping brush. Added Magenta, red, and black rhinestones.

Hope you guys like~
