NOTD: Nail of the Day

Hi Guys, here's today's nail of the day! Excuse the extra short length of my nails...I've been breaking them left and right, down to the nub, so I decided to just cut all of them down to the same length, and grow them back out together.  I'm also thinking about changing my natural nail shape from round to square.  I'm starting to like the way it looks, so my nails also have an awkward shape right now.  Anywho, for the colors I used China Glaze's Electric Beat (the blue) and the glitter is OPI's Polka.Com (polka dot com).  

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!

NOTD: Nail of the Day.

For today's nail I used Orly's Kiss the Bride. It's a super pretty muted pinky white color. Hence the name, it's perfect for a new bride's wedding day. Depending on the light it looks more white than pink, but in natural light it's definitely a super soft baby pink. This is one of my favorite colors that I wish I could wear more often, but I hate the application. It's super streaky and uneven and to get a true nail I find myself having to use a lot of polish, which of course causes bubbles and all type of nicks. Maybe it's not the polish and just me lol. In fact that's probably the case. But most light polishes, like white, I find myself having the same problem with application. I'm going to have to google some tricks to help me out with this. If I find some good ones ill let you guys know! 

NOTD: Revlon's Red Carpet

I thought I posted this the other day, but here was my red nail for the holiday.  I was so busy this year I'm disappointed I couldn't do my rhinestone flag, lol.  Which is so cute and done with clear, red, and blue rhinestones.  Anywho, here is Revlon's ColorStay Nail Polish in Red Carpet.  A nice clean bright red, not too shiny.  Excuse the messy nail, I was sleepy when I painted this the other day.  I must say its a pretty good formula because two entire days later and there is minimal chipping.  I'm impressed.  Not sure where this red came from, I was at my cousin's house when I painted them.  I also (sidenote) gave her a fake toe nail extension.  I'm going to detail that in a separate post later on.  I know it sounds weird but it's a great idea, especially for summer, if you have a broken toe nail.

For today's nail I used Sally Hensen's Hard as Nails Xtreme Nail Polish in Mellow Yellow. It's a bright, true to color lemony yellow.  It retails at Ulta for 2.99, super affordable.  It's a cute color, it has grown on me in the past hour since I've had it on.  The formula is just okay, maybe even subpar.  The formula applies unevenly, which means you generally need to apply an extra couple coats, or your second coat has to be super thick.

Today I went to one of my staples: a nice deep pink by Orly called Elsbeth's Rose. It is a beautiful color, and I like Orly's formula...this bottle is older, and its not thick or clumpy like my China Glaze polishes.  Its still new, and applies without super heavy streaking.  I know it's boring, but I was super tired tonight and True Blood premiered tonight.  MY LIFE IS NOW COMPLETE!!!!

Nail of the day! Used China Glaze's Peachy Keen with a couple of rhinestones.  I love this color! It's a nice bright peach, that will compliment all skin tones!

I used China Glaze's 'For Audrey' today. It's a really pretty blue...some would say it is sort of a Tiffany blue. Get it? For Audrey is the name of the color...Audrey...Audrey Hepburn...Breakfast at Tiffany's. Lol...it took me a while to catch that.  Don't judge my nail design lol. I know it's basic but I've got to get back in the swing of things. My designs will (hopefully) get better with practice.

I painted my nails using China Glaze's Dance Baby polish. It's a niec bright light pink.  I like China Glaze's polish formula, but I've noticed over time that once the polish isn't brand new and has sat for a couple months, it becomes super thick, clumpy, and stringy.  It gives me a total case of the sads considering the fact that China Glaze has a great range of colors, from neutrals to brights.  Anywho, China Glaze is available at Sally's, and it's super affordable, especially if you catch one of the buy one get one free sales or other sales that Sally often has.  I know this post isn't super interesting...but I realized I had 66 posts and I hate the number 66 so I had to hurry and do a 67 lol.  Here's a picture below (ignore the fact that I turned the bottle in the wrong direction lol...it was super late).  I promise I'll do a better nail tomorrow and post new pics.
