<br />
<br />
Colors I Used <br />
"Water Fall" From Revlon, Acrylic White Paint, "Whimsical" From Revlon and a mixture of blue and white paint. <br />

<br />
<br />
<strong>How I did it!!</strong> <br />
First, I painted all my nail "Water Fall" for the base coat. For my Index finger I added two coats of "Whimsical" making this nail my accent nail. For my other nails mix together some bright blue and white acrylic paint. Then, I took my dotting tool and made larger dots of the medium blue paint. I think i paint about 3 for each nail. Once, all the dot had dried I used a fine tip paint brush to create large snowflakes in each of the dots. I also, took my dotting tool and place smaller white dots just to jazz it up a bit. After all the nails had dried completely I added a thick top coat and ta-da a super cute winter manicure!!!<br />

Birthday Manicure!!! For my birthday/Christmas manicure I decided I wanted something neat, whimsical and cute. <br />
I did a lot of thinking, and looking for designs and I found this one!!!<br />
This is definitely on my favorites manicure list!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/t504/paintedtipzntoez/dsc_0123_zps88d8cf4c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/t504/paintedtipzntoez/dsc_0123_zps88d8cf4c.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">How I did it:</span></strong><br />
For the tree nails I started with a white base coat. Then using acrylic paint I placed red, lime green and dark green dots in a tree shape. Once the dots dried, I placed white dots in the middle of some of the color dots. This step is up to you I just thought it made the design a little cooler. Lastly I added a small tree truck and clear coat. <br />
For the Snow Flake Nails, I started with a red base coat. Then using a dotting tool I made three large circles. When the circles dried completely I used my fine tip paint brush to paint random snowflakes over the circles. When all of the polish was completely dried I painted a think clear coat to insure none of the acrylic paint flaked off. I absolutely loved this manicure, it was cute, fun and exactly what I wanted for my birthday mani<br />

Love, Nail Polish and Christmas Time,<br />

For Halloween I wanted something super fun! Last year I did candy corns, but this year I wanted something a little different. I saw last Halloween SimpleLittlePleasers did a mummy inspired look, so I decided to give that a whirl. However, I did not want to do just mummies so I decided to add some candy corns in my manicure also! And, this was the product!!!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/t504/paintedtipzntoez/dsc_0092.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/t504/paintedtipzntoez/dsc_0092.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Colors I Used:</span></strong> <br />
<strong>Mummy Nails:</strong> one coat of "Sunset Sail" from China Glaze under "Copper Glazed Platuim" from Revlon "French White Tip" from NYC "Liquid Leather" from Sally Hansen<br />
<strong>Candy Corns:</strong> "Big Spender" from Pro, "French White Tip" from NYC, "Yellow" and "Bright Orange" from L.A Colors Striper<br />
<br />
What more fun then candy corns and googly eyes!!!<br />

<br />
Okay, So I had to try the layering technique again! But this time I used black and vibrant colors. I did this design the exact same way as the one using fall colors. I'm not sure if I like this color combination better than the design with fall colors. <em>What do you think? </em>I think they are both different in their own way. <br />
I did learn one thing from trying this technique another time. When picking the order to paint your polishes, make sure the colors do not look similar. I paired them going yellow, blue, orange, pink, green, purple and black. If I had painted yellow and orange or pink and purple close together the colors would have not popped as much. Of course you can pair them however, you want but this is how I think it looks best. <br />

<strong>Colors I Used:</strong><br />
<strong><em>All Nails in order:</em></strong> "Fierce N' Tangy" from Maybelline, "Blue Collar" from ORLY, "Sun Worshiper" from China Glaze, "Flirt Alert" from Pure Ice, "Neon Green" from Kleancolor, "Dream" from Sinful Colors and "Black Leather" from Sally Hansen<br />

The way you do this technique is to layer the nail polish in thick coats. You can layer them dark to light or light to dark that choice is up to you. Once the polish is completely dry, you take a paint brush socked in acetone and slowly remove some of the layers of nail polish reveling the different layers. Just make sure you don't go all the way to your natural nail because then you will have to fix it. Over all this is a super easy design. The technique I saw on pinterest used black and vibrant color polishes, but I'm still addicted to all fall colors. So of course I went with oranges, reds, yellows and browns. Over all I thought this technique was really neat. I think it would look better with bright colors and black but I still like the fall colors. <br />

<br />
This week I was up for a more challenging nail design. I debated on a few different techniques and finally decided to try out color blocking for the first time. When I started painting I was originally going to paint each nail the same color. But after looking at all my colors I decided to paint each nail a different color. I decided I would use my fine tip white polish to line the design. For this mani, I used a total of 20 different colors and it took me about three or four hours to finish. I'm guessing on the time because I worked on and off on this mani all day (I tend to take random breaks on and off while I paint my nails. I was also reading a book while I painted)<br />
<br />
I started this technique by painting each nail a base coat. To do the color blocking I simply painted the other colors in a random patterns on each nail. Then, I added the white lines in between each color. <br />
<br />

<br />
A few days after I painted the mani I was kinda bored with it. But I didn't have enough time to change the design so I added a matte top coat. I was concerned at first that matte coat would take away from the design but I actually really liked it. <br />
<em>Would you try this technique?</em><br />

We had a BLAST!!! I think we dance over half the time we were there ha-ha. Well
as for what I wore and my nails everything it below! Keep reading!!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I have recently become
slight obsessive with 50's hair, makeup, dresses, etc. So this was a perfect
time to break out all my love for the 50's!!!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
I ended up finding my dress on e-bay for only 40.00$. I purchased
a medium, and I ended up having to take it to a tailor and have it taken in.
When I purchased my dress, it came with the red sash but not with the red petticoat.
My grandmother ended up finding my red petticoat at a little dress store in South
Carolina for 20.00$. I paired my dress with some red stilettos that I purchased
from JCPenny for 40.00$. These were the same shoes I wore to prom at the first
of this year. For jewelry I added a small pearl necklace and earrings. I did my
hair in a 50's style I found on the Internet, and then pulled it back with a
red ribbon and added curls to the ponytail. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><o:p> </o:p>I completed my 50's look, with so 50's makeup. I did a dark
brown/black eye with winged eyeliner and red lips. I COULD NOT go without red
lips. (I was in a huge rush on the night of the dance and didn't get any close
up pictures of my hair and makeup sorry!!)</span></div>

<br />
This week I knew I wanted something bright, fun and quick. So I decided to do a simple green mani. But, of course I couldn't go just green so I added glitter polish to 3 of my nails. Then, I decided that still wasn't enough so I got my pink polish and dotting tool and started making lines a dots and TA-Da! This is what happened! I thought this mani was super cute and I really liked the design I painted on my middle nail. I definitely might uses this design again!<br />

I haven't bought this much polish in a while! But there were deals EVERYWHERE!! And I just couldn't pass them by. What can I say nail polish is my guilty pleasure....sigh! Oh-well! I don't have a problem with this haha </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/t504/paintedtipzntoez/dsc_0324.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/t504/paintedtipzntoez/dsc_0324.jpg" width="400" /></a><strong><span style="font-size: large;">"Neon Green," Grand Finale," "Black Out" From Kleancolor Nail Lacquer and "Cosmetic" Not Sure What brand it is-</span></strong></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Before I begin with the polish review, let me say I got all of these polishes for 1.00$ that's right ONE DOLLAR a piece!! I went with to a flea market near Gatlinburg and ran across two or three nail polish stands. Now I know what you're thinking used nail Polish? Not the smartest idea! Well I checked the polish has not been used plus the sellers were selling in bulk with a Kleancolor stand. So, after checking the polish over and finding out they were only a dollar I knew I had to buy some, and I was very pleased with the colors I chose.</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>"Neon Green," Grand Finale," "Black Out" From Kleancolor Nail Lacquer:</strong></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First off, I had never tried this brand before. When I picked up the first bottle I thought the brand sounded familiar but I wasn't sure. So, when I got home I googled the name! Turned out Kleancolor is over 3.00$ a bottle. So I defiantly got these polish for a deal!</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>"Neon Green," </strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Is
a BRIGHT green polish! It is fairly opaque. It takes about 2 coats to get the
thickness I like. But that is how it is with most polishes! I am currently
wearing this polish right now and I really like how it looks!</span></span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>"Grand Finale"- </strong>is a clear nail polish, pack slam full of thin pieces of glitter. This polish is a little thick, but, not overly thick. The glitter is sliver but, depending on how the light hits it, the polish also has a blue/green tint to it. I tried using this in my current mani, however, I didn't like the way it turned out. So, I took the polish over. </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>"Black Out"</strong>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Is a black polish that is loaded with silver glitter. The black
isn’t very opaque so it takes a few coats but the finished look is amazing!! This
polish reminded me of OPI “Metallic for Life” from the Nicki Minaj collection
released earlier this year. To me this looks like almost an exact dupe. What do
you think?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">"85 Minted" Revlon</span></strong></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have yet to try out this polish! But, I had been looking for a light minty green, for a few weeks. So when I saw this polish I knew I had to buy it! I think I bought it for about 4:00 at wal-mart! I will try to get a review on it as so as I use it in a manicure <br />
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>"Cracked Medallion" China Glaze-Crackle Glaze</strong></span><br />
This is another polish I have yet to try or swatch. I picked it up near the end of august, for only 1.50$ at sally's. Major deal I know. I love the copper shade and I have a feeling this will look great for fall manicures!!! <br />

<br /></div>
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 <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
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. </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
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</div>

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! <br />

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! <br />

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.<br />

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" <span style="font-family: inherit;">is definitely </span>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! </div>

This week I wanted a mani that would incorporate "Sturdy Sapphire" my new blue polish. After, some thinking I decided to do some French tips with an accent nail.

So I finally bought new polishes!! I was in walmart this week and found a yellow I had been looking for and a blue! The yellow was "Fierce N' Tangy" from Maybelline's new collection, it was about 1.99. The blue was "Sturdy Sapphire" from Sally Hansen and it cost around 1.50$
When I used them in my current mani. I was a little unpleased with the yellow! The polish was super thin, this wouldn't have been a problem accept the brush left streak marks. I used 3 coats and it still was a little streaky. However, the color was gorgeous, I liked the bright yellow shade and it dried with a gloss finish.
"Sturdy Sapphire" from Sally Hansen was really pretty! It wasn't as opaque as I like but I think a few coats of polish will fix that. Since I used it as details in my current manicure, I didn't get a great feel for the polish. But so far I like the way the polish applied, was pleased with the brush and liked the color. I am planning on pairing it with a darker, glitter blue for a mani in the near future.
Over all I liked both polishes. As I said above Maybelline's polish was a tad disappointing, but hopefully they will fix that in their next collection.
XOXO's,

<br />
<br />
I bought "In the Lime Light (Neon)" from Sally's, for about 4.00$ This polish is an nice vibrant bight green. I really liked the brightness of the polish. However, The polish also had a matte finish,I'm not a huge fan of matte polishes but that was easily fixed with a top coat. "In the Lime Light" was fairly opaque and the brush was great. I added a Essie Luxeffects as my top coat and some pink, just because I can't stand a plain mani haha. I loved the color and can't wait to use it again.

After, a few days I was ready for somewhat of a change. I decided to change only my thumb and middle finger nails.
To change them I painted my nails two coats of "Black Heart" from Sally Hansen. Next, I added a coat of "Mattly in Love" this gave my nails a matte finish. For the design I used my dotting tool and "Black Heart" to create a cheetah print design. This was quite a different look from my bright pink and green mani a few days ago. But I thought it was quite cute.
