Disneyland Nails

Hello all!  I had a wonderful 2 days at Disneyland this past weekend.  My friends and I visited both parks and I drank alcoholic beverages for the first time in a Disney park.  This is what it feels like to be an adult.

Anyways, I had these super amazing nails, but alas only one cast member complimented my nails.  And also this mom and her teenage daughter.  But that's it.  In a park full of thousands of people and millions of diseases, only 3 people noticed.  I'm okay.  I'm not bitter at all.  I painted my nails for me, not for others.


For this manicure:
  • Base Coat - Base Coat by Finger Paints
  • Thumb - Mellow Yellow by Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear, Mickey Mouse head made with Black Out by Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear and a dotting tool
  • Pointer & Ring - Molly by Julep, white dots made with Snow Me White by Sinful Colors and a dotting tool
  • Middle - Molly by Julep, Black Out by Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear, & Snow Me White by Sinful Colors
  • Pinky - Mellow Yellow by Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear, stamped with noir black by b.m.c. and SH 214
  • Top Coat - Top Coat by Out the Door
Approximate Completion Time: 2 hours


Sorry for that blurry pic.  One day I will take good photos again, but I took this while extremely tired.  Also nail polish clean up takes a long time sometimes.  Some people hate the smell of nail polish and acetone - I think I'm addicted to it now.  It makes me feel comfortable.  Maybe this is shortening my life span.

Anyways, that's all for now.  Disneyland was fun.  I got pink eye from it but it's mostly gone now.  Yay!

Birthday Nails

So my birthday was a few days ago, and I treated myself by painting both of my hands! :) It's the little things that get me through life.

I turned 22.  I'm not sure what birthday to look forward to after turning 21.  Maybe immediate death?  Not sure.

Anyways, here are what my nails look like:



For this manicure:
  • Base Coat - Base Coat by Finger Paints
  • Thumb, Ring, & Pinky - Shrimply Devine by Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure, neon blue square studs from BornPrettyStore
  • Pointer & Middle - Char by Julep, stamped with iced silver by b.m.c using BM-023
  • Top Coat - Top Coat by Out the Door

These nails are coming off soon since I'm going to Disneyland soon, so my nails shall have to match the occasion! :)

Loosely Inspired by: Taylor Swift's Outfit at the Grammy Awards 2015

I'm not her biggest fan, but she had such a great outfit.  Plus her personality is becoming more amicable and less relationship-dependent, which is nice, because I was really getting tired of listening to her dish out on why she hates men for leaving her in her songs.  Like one song is okay but more than 5 is too many.

Anyways, here are my nails!


For this manicure:
  • Base Coat - Base Coat by Finger Paints
  • Thumb & Pinky - Dream On by Sinful Colors
  • Pointer & Middle - Bunny by Julep, gradient was sponged with Gorgeous by Sinful Colors & Angela by Julep
  • Ring - Nadia by Julep, My Vampire is Buff by OPI, Myrtle by Julep in combination with a small striping brush
  • Top Coat - Top Coat by Out the Door

Approximate Completion Time: 1.5 hours


The ring finger is supposed to be a very abstract version of her head/face.  She didn't sport red lips that particular day, but she's often depicted wearing red lipstick, so thus the red lips.  Yeah.

My birthday's in a week, so my next manicure will be something fun for me!  I'm gonna treat myself by painting both of my hands!
