NOTD: Chevron Nails

I'm a huge fan of the chevron print that everyone's been obsessing over this year. However, I rarely wear prints when it comes to clothing, so I opted for these fun chevron nails today! The idea came directly from a video by sarahbelle93x. To get the chevron nail decals, check out this etsy shop. The yellow nail polish is from Butter London and it's in the shade Cheeky Chops. The other polish is Nicole by OPI in the shade My Lifesaver, from the Justin Bieber collection. The best thing about the decals is that they were super easy to use. However, make sure that your nail polish is at least semi-dry, because I've found that they go on smoother, the drier my polish is.


What do you think of the chevron accent nail? How about the color combination?

Nail Polish Collection!

I'm a huge nail polish junkie. Though my collection is definitely not the largest (and certainly not the smallest), it's filled with colors I love. As far as minty hues go, I've got a t least a dozen. When it comes to oranges, reds, and yellows... there are about 5 in total. I'm very picky about my nail polishes, but when I see one I like, I have to have it. As far as consistency goes, OPI is at the top of the pack, but for some reason, I have nearly four times as many China Glaze polishes as I do OPI. Whatever the brand, I have my nails painted at all times (this can be a good and bad thing). Do you have any of the same polishes as me? What are some of your favorites from my collection?

NOTD: Black & White Polka Dots!

I first tried out the Sally Hansen nail polish strips back in December. I've worn several different designs of them a few times now and I love that I always get compliments when I wear them! They're really easy to put on, albeit a little time consuming. If you're in the mood for some fun nails (or even just an accent nail), I'd defintiely recommend nail polish strips.


Have you all tried any of these nails trips? If so, what patterns have you loved?

NOTD: Nails of the Day!


























I am in love with the pairing of these two polishes! The teal and navy glitter in the Wet'n Wild's Color Icon polish 'Cost Is No Issue' perfectly compliments Orly's metallic, teal polish 'Bailamos'.

A match made in heaven! The consistency of this Orly polish is stellar: not too thick, not too thin, and pretty quick-drying. As always, these Wet 'N Wild (limited edition, from the Ice Baby collection)) glitters dry super quickly, aren't too chunky, and just look phenomenal!

What are some of your favorite nail polish combinations?

Cotton Candy Crackle Nails!

I know I'm late jumping on the crackle and shatter bandwagon, but I had honestly never been interested in the stuff until just recently. My favorite nail polishes to wear are cream formula pastels with the occasionally glitter tossed in. However, I decided to finally give crackles a shot.

They're a little messy. (I was in a rush and terribly tired, okay?) But I actually quite like this color combination. It doesn't beat out solid, cream pastels for me, but the combination kind of reminds me of sweet, innocent cotton candy (Can cotton candy be described as innocent?).


I used Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear nail polish in Bubblegum Pink (what a mouthful!) and one of China Glaze's Crackle Glaze nail polishes in Crushed Candy. I can't help but look at my nails and have my mouth watering for some Cotton Candy


Do you guys have a favorite crackle color and base polish combination? Let me know! Crackles and shatters may have finally found a tiny place in my nail polish collection.

Anyway, I decided to share some of my favorite nail polishes for spring with you all!

Nail Polish Haul!

I picked up some gorgeous new nail polishes recently and hauled them all on my beauty channel.
This time I went for some Orly, China Glaze, and Essie. I'm thinking next time I'll pick up a few OPIs, a Butter London or two, and maybe a couole Deborah Lippmans!


Have you all purchased any new polishes lately? Any polishes you think I should check out? (p.s. I'm a sucker for anything pastel!)
