Hello all! Everything has been very busy recently, and I'm actually currently wearing my "Day 2" polish right now, because I hadn't gotten around to posting my red yet. So here it is! Del Sol - Heartbreaker. A very nice glittery red polish that turns a bit purple in the sun, though not as purple as that bottle would suggest.
This is three coats of Heartbreaker, a red jelly base with red glitter, that turns into a purple jelly with red glitter in the sun.
Please excuse the tipwear. I believe this was after about three days of wearing the polish, and after helping my mom pack and move a bunch of boxes into a storage unit. She's moving to Texas for a while to be with my grandmother.
Here's a good comparison of the color change in the sun. Very pretty!
And here is another sun comparison, although the ring/pinky fingers had been in the sun for a couple seconds, so they were a little darker than the normal red.
I really love my Del Sol polishes. They are so much fun to watch change color! Also a good indicator as to whether or not your windows in your car are UV-protectant. Hehe. (Mine change color a tiny bit in my car - for shame!) I hope you enjoyed this color as much as I did! As always, happy painting!
With a few different things! I graduated from college at the end of April and have been preparing for the MCAT since. I've done a couple of manis, but haven't had a whole lot of time, especially when a little surprise fell in my lap! You'll see more about that in a minute... First, my nails! Here is two coats of Sinful Colors - Fig with a coat of Wet n' Wild - Kaliedoscope over top. I am such a glitter maniac! I should probably start waiting a day or so before I coat my manis with glitter just because I think they look boring at first. I've already started a no-buy, maybe I need a no-glitter for a while too!
Fig is a nice plum purple with a bit of shimmer in it, and Kaliedoscope is a scattered holo glitter.
Look at all that color and shine!
So sparkly!
But now, on to the little guy that's taken my heart and attention for the last week and a half! This is little Icarus, a former stray that my mom found after he fell through the roof to her basement! Poor little guy, huh? We thought that Icarus was a cute and suitable name for him, as he "fell from the sky" and loves to sit up on people's shoulders as high as he can get, and I mean anyone.
I can't tell if he likes my mani or not!
Waiting to go in the MINI!
He's so precious! He's had a bit of gunk in his eyes and has developed a little sickness since my mom got him when he was about five weeks old, so we have him some eyedrops and antibiotics from the vet, not his favorite thing, especially considering the vet had to use a thermometer on him! Yikes! But he's doing a lot better since we got him, and he's plumped up quite a bit and finally eating dry food. He's about six weeks old now, so we just have to pick out a birthday for him so we can spoil him on his first!
This video is one of him before he started on dry food, and would go straight to the fridge when he was hungry and start meowing for a syringe of the formula we'd gotten for him! So cute! And no, he was not starving when the video was taken, he just myows like that all the time. :D
As you can see, I left on my toenail polish forever, don't judge!
I hope you enjoyed the mani and seeing little Icarus! Happy painting!
I got back from my first ever cruise this weekend and I had a blast! It was my spring break, so Will thought it would be a good idea to take me for my first cruise on the Monarch of the Seas. It was so much fun!
In the spirit of it being all bright and sunny in the Bahamas, I used color-changing Del Sol Electrick! with Milani Blue Flash for the freehanded tips. Electrick! is a nice light blue frost that turns to a light green frost in the sunlight, but unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of it in the sun because I was so busy with all the cruise activities! Blue Flash is one of Milani's one coat glitters, and I'm telling you, it was packed with blue and some silver glitter!
The mani shots make Elecktrick! look more silver than it is... The bottle pics are more color accurate.
I hope you enjoyed this mani as much as I did! I got so many compliments with it from friends. Till next time... Happy painting!
Wow, sorry about all the long-time-no-see business; school has been stressful! Senior year in biology isn't a walk in the park, although I do try to take some time to myself to paint my nails and do other girlie things like shopping!!! It's been a bit extra stressful because I haven't had a car to drive myself around in until yesterday. It had been out of commission since September 2nd, our second day of school. I finally got everything fixed up with it and now it's all back in working order, thankfully! Anyways, on with the nails!
These super-bright nails are from last month, brought to you by Sinful Colors and Walgreen's! I love the Sinful Colors nail polishes I've gotten so far, and hopefully I'll continue this affair with them forever. So good!
Here is Sinful Colors - Love Nails at two coats. I would've used three if I weren't planning on layering it with glitter, which has become my weakness. I almost can't stop myself from layering everything with glitter.
And now, topped with a coat of Sinful Colors - Frenzy.
Hello, hello! This is another manicure from the vault that I did in June for my early birthday/going away dinner with relatives before I went to Cornell for the summer. It was an early celebration for my 21st birthday (my birthday is on July 2nd), so I had to use Ruby Pumps! It's so pretty and glamorous; I absolutely love this polish! On with the pictures!
China Glaze - Ruby Pumps
For a little extra flair, I decided to do a colored mani with black freehand tips using Pure Ice Black Rage.

I also did a pedicure like this as well, but I didn't get any photos of my toes. I'm not sure if I'd want to post them anyways!
I hope you enjoyed these as much as I enjoyed sharing them! See you nail enthusiasts next time!
