NOTD: Flower Power?

I'm feeling some 60's vibe coming from this mani!

 Thanks to one nail to rule them all for this awesome nail inspiration!

The play on contrast in this manicure is perfect!

Look at that cut on my thumb! It hurt for like 2 days :(

So, I'm on spring break now! The night after my last final I slept for a whole 13 hours straight! Talk about sleep deprivation, I don't think I had slept more than 9 hours all of last weekend combined! 

And now, I have plenty of time to sleep in and do my nails :)

NOTD: Deborah Lippmann Shape of my Heart

I finally added a DL polish to my collection... and it's not a glitter! 

Shape of my Heart is a sheer pink with hints of lavender that needs at least 3 coats for semi-opacity. I used 4 coats here with no drying problems  at all (I added my trusty seche vite though).

I bought this polish from hsn.com and used the code: 1NEW15 for 15% off my order. Shipping is free, so my total was $15.53. DL polishes range from $16-19 at Nordstrom and elsewhere.

NOTD: YSL #22 Beige Leger

Beige Leger is a pinkish nude with a slight mauve undertone. It's an odd color to describe since its seems to change under different lighting on my nails. 

It takes 2 coats for full opacity and has the most glossy even finish! I think that this color could easily suit all skin types!

I definitely recommend this one! It might just be your perfect nude color!

NOTD: Gold Glitter + Nude Reverse French Tip

Today's manicure is festive, but great all year round. Combining gold glitter and a pink-y nude color gives the most flattering and girly effect on any skin color!

I used hole punch protectors to create this reverse french manicure.

Mo-Mo decided to photobomb a little bit :P

This manicure could easily be made more festive by switching out the nude color for any type of red {especially deeper one's with a shimmer finish} or an emerald green!

Products Used:
Essie- Topless and Barefoot | Julep- Sienna | China Glaze- Blonde Bombshell | Avon- Sparkling Gold.

NOTD: Essie- Topless & Barefoot

I bought this polish thinking it would be the perfect opaque nude color, and it is except for the application... not the easier polish to apply.

Topless & Barfoot is a pinkish bone color that needs at least 3 careful coats to be somewhat even. It is fully opaque after 2 but looks lumpy :( 

Overall, I do like the color, but the application isn't great.

NOTD: China Glaze Sunset Sail

This is another polish I picked up this past weekend, It's a peachy nude color with the tiniest silver specs. With 2 coats it is opaque and streak-free!

• After applying 2 coats of color,
• I added a few criss-crossed lines to each nail.
• Immediately after applying a top coat, I added rhinestones.

This manicure reminds me of ballet shoes :)
