ILNP Flakie Gradient

I'm in love. I made my first ever I Love Nail Polish purchase the other day and, when my package came in the mail, I couldn't have been happier. Of course, if I was going to buy something from ILNP, I had to get at least one of the Ultra Chrome Flakies. So, I got two. Man, oh, man! I'm in girls-who-love-sparkle-and-shine heaven!

I Love Textured Gradients

I don't know exactly what it is but I am a sucker for textured nail polish. Maybe it's the visual interest. I usually spend most of the day staring at my nails when I wear them. Maybe it's the feel of them. I also spend a lot of time running my fingers over my nails. Maybe it's the versatility of them. You can wear them rough or add a topcoat for a whole new look! Regardless, I don't think I'll ever get tired of them.

I picked up another one of L'Oreal's textured polishes the other day and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it first!

Late New Year's Nails

I don't know how exactly I forgot to post these nails, but I did them on New Year's Eve. Obviously, I meant to get them up before the first but that didn't happen. Well, I figured that it wouldn't hurt to share them anyway.

I did two designs because I wasn't happy with the first one. Well, looking back at the photos, I love them both now, so I'm sharing both designs with you!

Matte Gradient with Flakies!

I was organizing my polishes a bit today (I have them sorted by brand, usually, but they always get disorganized over time.) and I came across Sally Hansen Slick Slate. I haven't used it in ages but I don't know why because I love it so much! It was just sitting there next to Sally Hansen Pat on the Black and I thought, "Wouldn't those just make a lovely gradient?"

Blingy Christmas Present Nails

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

It's Christmas morning and I'm hanging out at the in-laws' and I thought I would do a quick post with some amazingly sparkly Christmas nails. I did this and couldn't stop staring at my hands because the shine and sparkle was so hypnotizing! The best part was, it was super simple and it only took a few minutes!

Christmas Water Marble

I love doing a water marble design around Christmas time because it always reminds me of Christmas candies. Instead of doing a red and white "candy cane" water marble, I used green and white!
