NOTD: Pokemon Nails
Hey guys! Okay so I did my friends nails the other day and I thought they were just so cute! Since we both loved Pokemon as kids I thought it'd be cute to do each of her nails a different type of pokeball. It was definitely harder to do clean up on her nails than my own, and way harder to take pictures! I hope you like them!

NOTD: Watercolor Flowers
Hey everyone! So I saw this great mani and decided to try it out for myself! I think it really turned out great and even though there is a little chipping on my tips this lasted almost two weeks!
For the base I used Essie Limo-Scene, for the sponged colors I used Sally Hansen Blue Me Away, and Green With Envy, China Glaze Four Leaf Clover, and Ulta Eye Popping Poppy, and lastly for the flowers I used just the white sinful colors striper. I got a bunch of compliments and I've already done this mani for one of my friends!

NOTD: Captain America Nails
Hey guys! So this was my mani for the Avengers, I'm a huge super hero nerd and I lovedddddddd the movie. Cap is my fav so I thought I would do some nail art. This is not my best work becasue I did it the night before at like 1 am so cut me some slack! haha.
Anyways I still loved this Captain America mani and a lot of my friends did too! I loved how the red stripes looked kind of like tye-dye in person, but anyways hope you enjoy!
If you havent already go enter my contest ending this month!

Swatch: China Glaze Luna
Anywho, thanks for sticking with me. Today I have China Glaze Luna. This is a gorgeous blue/gray silver metallic with large hex holo glitter. In person this color is so pretty, it was a very unique color and there were very few brush strokes. this was two coats and in the pictures there is VNL but in real life you couldn't see anything. This pretty color is from Head2Toe Beauty so if you're looking I'd check there first!

Swatch: China Glaze Tantalize Me
hello guys! again sorry for the lack of posts I've been super busy but school is coming to an end!
Today I have China Glaze Tantalize Me, a great purple with blue shimmer. This is three coats, and I just loved this color on me. The blue isn't too over powering and the light purple is a great color for spring and summer. It is pretty sheer, with three coats I could still see VNL in person and a little in the pictures.

LoLuFullyLoaded Inspired Purchases
Hey guys! so sorry for the lack of posts lately, I've been so busy with the end of the year within two weeks! Today I have a great post dedicated to one of my friends and great beauty guru! Some of you might know about Lauren from LoLuFullyLoaded if you don't click the link to her site!
Lauren is my favorite beauty guru, not only because I know her, but because she's truly great at what she does! So below I have some of the great polishes that Lo has talked about in her videos and her blog and I thought it'd be great to share them with you!
This is China Glaze Lemon Fizz, a great unique yellow that I've been wearing all spring. Yellows in general look good on my skin tone, but this was the perfect color for spring! However, this was tricky to apply. Here was three coats for an even finish but I remember my first time using this color it took 4 on some fingers.
I've already posted about this color, but China Glaze For Audrey was one of my first posts and I thought I could better capture the color now that I have a little more experience. This is a great Tiffanies blue/green. Three coats for full coverage.
Another great spring and summer polish this China Glaze Peachy Keen. I didn't think that I'd like this color but once I got it on it was really pretty! It looks like those circus peanut candies too! Three coats for full coverage.
One of the more recent polishes Lo has talked about is Essie's Ole Caliente. I just happened to have picked it up a few days before her haul video, but this picture does not do the polish justice! This is a bright neon-y red that is perfect for summer. Two Coats for full coverage.
Then I have two colors that I picked up in the fall/winter. Essie Bobbing For Baubles is a great dusty navy blue. I love blues so I knew that I had to pick this color up. The formula was great with this color, a jelly cream that you could definitely get away with one coat of. I used two coats for this, force of habit.
Last but not least, is Essie Bordeaux. A really nice deep bloody/berry red. This color just screams winter to me, and I wore this for new years eve! I love the watery look that this polish has, ans this was two coats for full coverage.
So I hope you enjoyed this spam post! I love all of these colors and you should definitely go take at look at Lo's website or YouTube channel which I'll link to.

April Haul
Hello everyone! Well, once Wednesday of next week is over, all my AP test are over and the research paper is in so no more worries for the rest of the year! Hurray!! Okay so April was a HUGE haul month for me so I'm trying to restrain myself this month! On to the polish...
The wonderful Jo from Glitter, Glam, Sparkle, Shine did a swap with me for these 5 wonderful colors. The coveted Max Factor Fantasy Fire, Odyssey Blue, Graffiti, Hot Looks Bongo Beat, and Models Own Disco Mix.
The OPI's I picked up mostly from Ulta, Russian Navy, Stranger Tides, Skull & Glossbones, Don't Mess With OPI, and My Private Jet.
Then I looked at my collection and realized I had barely any pinky-peachy colors and not that many Essie polishes which are my favorite! And then I got two polishes straight from the company to review, so this was a big Essie month! A Crewd Interest, Action, and Tart Deco
Camera, Ole Caliente, Peach Daiquiri
Interesting I picked up 2 Neo Whimsicals and they're totally different! And then I picked up Fiji.
Playdate, Navigate Her
I really wanted to try a matte but didn't want to spend on Essie's matte so I got NYC Matte Me Crazy, I won Isadora Amethyst, and China Glaze Near Dark.Since Walgreens was having their sale on Wet n' Wild I got 7! Caribbean Frost, Black Creme, Eggplant Frost, Blue Wants to be a Billionaire
French White Creme, Kaleidoscope, and Tickled Pink
I got these two NOPI for $2 at Ulta, Not a Gold Bigger, and Hello World, and Essence White Secret.
I picked up my first Revlon Polishes this month, Impulsive, Flirt, Popular
Royal, Dreamer, and Whimsical
And last but not least my Sally Hansen Polishes, Blue Me Away, Green With Envy, and Gunmetal.Okay well that is all! It's a lot hahah but tomorrow and Saturday I'm going to be doing a bunch of my friends's nails for prom so I'll probably have a post about it coming up, plus a post dedicated to a great blogger and friend of mine that is in the Beauty and Fashion blogging world so I've got some great ideas coming as soon as all my tests are done!
