A Day Organizing Polish


Organizing Nail Polish! That is what I do in my free time!! Well when I have free time!!! Obviously I hardly have time to blog, so organizing nail polish doesn't get done often! haha
However, I did get around to organizing a few days ago! And of course when I organize I have to do it the right way! I started by getting all my nail boxes out, my computer and a movie.
Since, I had never had watched the Bourne movies and my boyfriend wanted to see the new one, I decided to watch the "The Bourne Supremacy" After, playing my movie, I began to re-order my nail polish. I am awful for being in a hurry and just placing polish in a convenient spot. So, they were quite out of order. Next, I re-ordered my nail-tool box, placing everything its correct bag and spot, making it much easier to get to all my many, many tools. After that was all orderly, I pulled out my nail wheels and looked for all my new polish that I had yet to swatch. This ended up being like 10 or more polish, because yet again, it seems like I never have time to do anything haha. Once, that was done I again made sure everything was it its correct spot and finished watching my movie! I actually really enjoyed my afternoon or organization! The payoff was quite nice! I need to get better at doing this haha

Neon Drag Marble!

BEHIND, BEHIND, BEHIND!!! That has been my feeling lately!! Since school started back, it seems like all I do is go and go and go!!!!! I've not made or thought of making ANY vlogs! Nor, have I been posting lately!!!! You should see how many drafts I have, that progress right? haha. I'm going to try to get better at this!!!! I have some new polishes and design I will try my best to get up soon! But until then this mani will have to hold you!

 
 

I tried the Drag Marble for maybe the second time, and I love the way it turned out!! To start, I painted my nails two coats of the base color. Then, I painted the nail a third time with the same base coat color, but before it dried I added two dots of another polish. Then, I took a toothpick and dragged the polish out to create a star-burst/splatter effect. This design was super simple and very easy! The only hard part of this design is making sure you do not place to much presser on the tooth-pick. If you do you will scrape the bottom layers of polish, leaving an awful looking scrape. However, this is very easy to fix and you will usually know when you are messing up before it looks too bad. Other than that this was super easy and fairly quick manicure. I received tons of compliments on this design and I really like the way it turned out!

Blue Sponge Effect

 
This mani was a slight fail! When I started painting I had intended on making the a deep sea inspired manicure. However, when I went to add the sea horses and sea weed.....Well lets just say it didn't work out and I didn't have enough time to come up with a plan B. So this is the mani I went with! I actually really liked it, despite the slight fail.



Colors I Used:
Base: "Splash" from Pure Ice,
Bottom Layer: "Skin Tight Denim" from NYC, and "Sturdy Sapphire" from Sally Hansen,
Middle Layer: "To-Teally Chic" from Finger Paints
Top Layer: "Waterfall" from Revlon "French White Tip" from NYC, "Once Again" and "Mint Dream" from Pure Ice
Bubbles: "Waterfall" from Revlon "French White Tip" from NYC, and "Mint Dream" from Pure Ice
Top Coat: "Oh Baby" from Pure Ice

Sun Worshiper: China Glaze



This week I went to Sally's to "just look" haha. But of course I ended up coming home with polish. I came home with "Sun Worshiper" from China Glaze. "Sun Worshiper" is an amazing orange polish. The color reminds me of a sea horse orange, now sure why, but it does. The polish is not very opaque, but I think it just needs two coat and it with be prefect.  "Sun Worshiper" is definitely one of my new favorites, the color is beautiful, it applies easy, the brush is great and I just really like this polish! I can't wait to use this polish in a full mani!
