TWO YEAR BLOGIVERSARY plus Barbie Bows

Whelp, it's my 2 year blogiversary and I've been so busy working and saving up for beauty school that I dont have anything interesting to post. I did, however jazz up my boring everyday pink and whites by adding Sally Hansen HD polish in LCD to the pink parts for a lil sparkle and blue shimmer. I painted on tiny lil now shapes in Zoya's Barbie and added a lil half pearl in matching pink to the center. All topped with INM's Out The Door topcoat (I'm out of Seche Vite).

Furthermore for my blogiversary, I would like to thank my hand models and very good friends (in alphabetical order so there's not confusion about hierarchy): Audrey and Chrissy. You are my muses. Without you my blog is a shameless, boring, self centered catalog of animal prints and boring funky French's. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for inspiring me and pushing me to try so many new things I dare not try on myself. Thank you for all the love and support and natural nails to play with. May there be many more nail designs to come.

Last but of course not least, thank you to all my followers and fellow bloggers! Your creativity and support had first inspired me to start my blog two years ago and keep going strong until now. Thanks!

Bye, Bye, Birdie

My hand model, Oddrey came over with an idea for these swallow or birds flying silhouettes. I looked up a couple pictures of bird silhouettes and decided on this design. Just two coats of a white creme, and painted these on with this dark teal color my gf Megan brought me from China. It doesn't have a name but I will swatch and post a picture of the bottle in another post! Enjoi.

I love Zoya's Barbie

I'm officially in love with Barbie by Zoya. A light creamy pink with blue undertones, this polish is a dream. The consistency came out streaky but smoothed put by the second coat, and perfectly opaque by the third. My only qualm with Zoya is that sometimes I feel the dry time is too long for me. But it is sped up with a coat of Seche Vite .
I bought this polish strictly on its name alone and was happy that it is as Barbie as I wanted it to be! Thanks Zoya.

Americana Nails <3

Ya, I know I'm a lil early, but the 4th of July is my favorite holiday do I'm going to start doing my red, white, and blues now!

Just a simple stars and striped funky French. Blue tips with white stars stamped from the 1st Konad plate on the thumb and index; white tips with shakily painted red stripes on the pinky, ring and middle. All detailed with a delicate outline of silver glitter to hide the imperfect smile lines. More USA nails to come!

Kawaii Nails for Fanime

Fanime is today and tomorrow in San Jose and my gf/hand model Chrissy asked me to do light purple rounded kawaii nails to match her Espeon costume! I did clear acrylics and just painted on French tips in a light lavender color, added some purple 3D acrylic bows, glitter, rhinestones and some metallic pearls. Ohhh la la.

Marvels The Avengers

Oh yeah. I did some Avengers logos for ya. Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widow, and Thor. And that's that.

Would you trust this bottle of Seche Vite?

I was at Sally Beauty Supply and they were completely sold out of Seche Vite dry fast top coat but I found this weird bottle that didn't have writing on the glass. The cap had the logo on it and the sticker on the bottom was there. But I'm confused how this unmarked bottle made it to the store. I tried it out and waited a minute to test if the inside was legit and it passed my test. I know it wasn't a mismatched base coat bc their base cost is not dry fast. It was glossy and dried fairly fast so I bought it. The girl was really confused while ringing me up too.

Would you trust this? Would you still buy it if you saw this was the only one left?
