Gangnam Style Nails

Hey everyone! Before I start this post I just want to let everyone know that I am posting this from my iPhone, so the pictures will probably be all wrong, so don't mind that!
I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've just been very busy! But today I have a VERY cute manicure to show you. I bet most of you have seen the viral video Gangnam Style (If you haven't, look it up on YouTube. You will laugh so hard!) and today CutePolish on YouTube posted a tutorial for her take on Gangnam Style nails, and I simply had to try it! (Pardon the run on sentence..) I think they are cute and very random. These took me around an hour to do.
I have a whole pile of mani's to post, so keep an eye out for those! Hopefully soon ;)
Also, my friend Maya just started a nail blog, and I'd appreciate it if you go check it out! It's www.imapolishedgirl.blogspot.ca :)

Paint Splatter Nails

Hey everyone! As promised, I have another new post for you! This one is a manicure that I did only last night, so it's only been on my computer for a few hours! I found a tutorial for this on @lovemanicure's page on Instagram, and I just fell in love! This is using Essie "Mezmerise" and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "Mellow Yellow" Before you look at the picture, I just want to warn you that these pictures were taken before I cleaned up my nails, please do not pay attention to the messy areas!

I think they're cute, don't you! In the first picture, it almost looks matte! I also really like the contrast of these colours, this manicure makes me happy for some odd reason :)

5 Things You Didn't Know About Me!

Hello, blog readers! How are you? I'm sorry I haven't posted anything in a while, please don't think I've forgotten you! I've just been busy, starting high school, getting back into a schedule. Sometimes it's very hard for me to find a time to do my nails! So today, I have a little something special. You are going to learn 5 things that you most likely didn't know about me! Alright, here we go!
1. I am a competitive dancer, going into my 5th year of competitive dance. Dance is really my life, and I don't know what I would do without it!

2. I have a strange obsession with necklaces. I don't know what it is about them, but they are so pretty and unique, not to mention a perfect fashion accessory. I usually wear a different one each day, but the one I wear the most is my little rustic cross necklace, along with my cross bracelet that I wear with EVERYTHING.

3. I have a rather large obsession with three things; Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, and Team Starkid. Assuming that you all know what Harry Potter and The Hunger Games is (if you don't, leave a comment!) I am going to tell you what Team Starkid is. Starkid is a group of people from the University Of Michigan's theater group who perform original plays and musicals. They were the creators of A Very Potter Musical, the web series Little White Lie, A very Potter Sequel, Starship, and many others. Search them on YouTube, they are fantastic! (Also, for anyone who knows what Starkid is, my favorite Starkid is Lauren Lopez. I love her, she is a fantastic singer and actress. I want to be her when I grow up!)

4. I only started really "doing" my nails in May of last year! I fell in love with the colours, all the different things you
can do, and, believe it or not, the smell! So I'm fairly new at the whole "nail art" game!

5. I love mint. Mints, gum, anything. It's just so good.

So that is all! I hope you enjoyed my little post today, and I promise I will post more nail posts soon! <3

Dots, Sure Shot, and Whimsical

Today I have three old nail designs to show you. These have been stored in the vault that is my nail folder on my computer for months, so I thought it was time to show them!
First off, we have Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "Blue Me Away" with dots in Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "White On" This was my first time doing dots, so yes, they are messy and uneven. But how about we call them abstract?

This was also before I discovered the art of macro photographing....just bear that in mind.
This blue is a very pretty, bright blue, great for summer (even though it's September) and the white is a very good white, a two coater, which you can't find very often.

On to the next mani! This one is Essie "Sure Shot" with Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "Strobe Light" on the accent nail. Sure Shot is this almost metallic-y magenta, and Strobe Light is a sparkle polish, with silver, pink, green, and many other colour sparkles in it.

Ugh. I look at these pictures and cringe. Well, that was in the past. My photography skills are better now (I hope).

Last but defiantly not least is Essie "Mesmerized" with two coats of Revlon "Whimsical" on top. I LOVED this, and I've done it again several times since the picture was taken.

 I absolutely adore Whimsical. It's a jelly polish with a light blue base, with big silver and blue glitters (I really don't know how to describe them...help!) and small silver glitters. SO pretty.

I was at the PNE in my city yesterday, and I got my hands on my first Orly polishes! I'm so excited! Expect swatches of them very soon!
