Abstract Cookie Monster Nails?

Hi there!
I've been doing some "lazy manicures" lately. Meaning, I don't really do any nailart that much anymore as to when I started painting my nails. Guess I don't have that much time due to school :(
However, on this day, as I was finishing up painting my nails, I was shocked when it turned out to look like these!
Googly eyes! (witness some chipping :/ )

It was so weird when the white glitters positioned on the opposite direction of each other with a black smaller glitter on top of both! They then resembles some eyes of cookie monster!
Plus, I randomly chose that base polish from china glaze, and now I LOVE IT! I now have a design that was completely unplanned.
So I guess, there's always some surprises when painting your nails!

Polishes that I used:
China Glaze Towel Boy Toy
China Glaze Whirled Away

Mac Mehr Swatch

Hi there!
So today I want to share with you what I got from Mac.
Mehr is a matte neutral blue pink which I feel complements on every complexions!
                     
      



                I love the color that it gives out when swatched. It just looks very wearable and perfect for everyday color. But on your lips, it becomes lighter and leans a bit pale. I have no idea why though. So, just a quick heads up there. I'll even show you how it looks like on my lips.

         

               
           Overall, I really enjoy this lipstick! Although I was a bit disappointed on how it didn't show up the way I wanted it to be on my lips, I still like how it looks on my skin tone. I feel like this is the most suitable pink for me and possibly the "pinkest" I can wear since I'm not really into pale or barbie pinks.

A random nail polish design that I found!

Hello there! 
So today as i was browsing my memory card, I found this nail polish look that I made but never made into this blog.
Well, I finally am able to post this!



As you can see, this one is glittery!
I used color club's Evolution and Nicole by Opi's Inner Sparkle on top.
Also, on my middle finger I had NYC's Lincoln Square Lavender and Revlon's Girly on top!
I really like this look even though it's time consuming to take the glitters off. (Though you can use the foil removing technique!)

Comment down below if you would want to try this mani!

My Minions!

Hi Guys!
I finally did it!
I was able to create my own minions!!


I was inspired by the movie Despicable Me 2 and the fact that it is that easy to recreate! To do the minion, paint your nail with a yellow polish then grab your black nail art striper and make a thin rectangle across your upper center nail. Using a dotting tool, dot a grey shade on the upper center of your nail. Let them dry then on top of the grey dot, dot a white polish and then a black polish to make the minon's eye. Below the eye, use the black striper to make the smile and for its bottom/pants, use a navy blue polish and make sort of a thick french tip on the end of your nail.

Have you tried it?

China Glaze Bump and Grind


Hi There!
Today I bring you the texture polish of China Glaze in the shade Bump and Grind!

I just wanted to show this new "trend" that is for summer.The finish is very interesting since it feels sandy and rough.This particular shade is so pretty! It is a bright red which is great for all skin tones and I think this is great for summer especially when you're out to the beach or if you want to venture out more to the nail polish world and try out some unusual finishes then go for it! Now because of the texture that it has, it can be hard to take off. I don't know if it's just me or what. However, I'm not really into it that much. I mean I like it when I just applied it on my nails but I get bothered by it later on. I don't know maybe I'm picky or something?

Have you tried it?

Flip Flop Fantasy Accent Nail Design

Hi ladies! 
Here I have some looks using Flip Flop Fantasy as the base color and I thought why not share these with you all :) This is sooo dang easy! Anyway, Flip flop fantasy is such a famous shade from China Glaze. It is so neon and the camera cannot even capture the reality of this shade. It's phenomenal! All you need is another China Glaze glitter polish  or another nail polish shade and you are ready to go out the door. Now, I know many people don't really like or are disappointed with Whirled Away because you really have to work hard to get the glitter out of the bottle and such. Nevertheless, I don't really mind it. I actually take a small dotting tool to manually place them on my nail and in that way, I control where I want to place the "matte" glitters. As you can see, the black glitters on top of the larger white glitters look like eyes! It's so interesting! Love it!



FIRST:
Here I used China Glaze's Whirled Away as accents.
