Speed of Life - Misa

I haven't posted in forever, but I'm still around. I unfortunately just haven't had the chance to take pictures of my nail art that I have been doing for the past while. That being said, I managed to take a picture this time. For this nail art I was inspired by bindis. If you aren't aware of what that is, it's a decorative piece that Indian's wear on their forehead. They range from being a representation of your status (ex married) to what sometimes I use to wear to weddings as an added "jewelry". If you look up decorative bindi on Google you will see how detailed some can be! I didn't go quite as beautiful as they get but I managed to get the idea:

Overall this took about 3 careful coats! Although, this did work better than my other orange I have by OPI which took up to 4 coats.

MIA moment again

Alright usually I title things according to the nail polish I used, but ha funny story actually (not at all) I did these in November and I'm posting them now they could possibly be the China Glaze - For Audrey because I got my hands on those around the time I did these. Not 100% sure on that though! Onto the picture that I took:

 I actually did these for a fashion show that my sisters program was doing! I'll probably upload those photos on my other blog.

Alright so onto the next one I did for New Years! I'll have to go back to get the names of these colours I used for this:

CG Fuchsia

I did this one a while ago but seeing as it has been a month of not posting, it was time..

These were all taken with flash indoors: 

I used China Glaze Fuchsia & Fairy Dust. As well as Color Club Worth the Risque I believe.

Vampire Lips

Last post for today I promise!
With Halloween down the corner, I had to some sort of nail art. Keep in mind my time was limited (aka I was doing this at 11pm when I should have been sleeping for early classes the next day), so I had to come up with a design that was simple & fast.. results?

Floral & Turquoise

In this nail art I used China Glaze's For Audrey, which I finally (& sadly) just got! It was hiding in the store and it looked like someone had tried it (unfortunately very messily :@), but I was desperate for this colour. Not only is it by China Glaze, it's the best turquoise out of all I've tried. It was also fun to add some fun floral style to it. I always see people with floral patterns on their nails & I had been meaning to try it out myself!

Westside Warrior & CC HOLO

I had done this look a while back & I completely forgot to upload it for you guys!
I am using Westside Warrior in the Metro collection by China Glaze. I'm pretty sure this is Revvvolution by Color Club. I ordered other "Holo's" by them & overall they were quite pretty but I don't think they are as Holo as they could be! To the pics?

 No Flash:

Westside Warrior can be done in one coat, but only if you are careful (my index finger...not so careful).

Electric Pineapple Print

 It feels like forever since I lasted officially did some sort of nail art. I have yet to try out my Misa - Heaven White polish. I must say, I am not at all use to a full white polish nail without adding some sort of art to it. I also really wanted to try out my "Electric Pineapple" by China Glaze, but I was a little unsure of how it would look on my nails by itself. So, I decided to do an Electric Pineapple Leopard Print. Results:

 

 

 

 

 

Heaven White can take one coat, if done properly, but you get the best results with two coats.

Mail UNO!

Alright so I actually got this like a month ago, but have yet to make a post since forever. Sorry I haven't been around. I'm struggling with a few of my classes so time to get on websites for my enjoyment are super limited! Nonetheless, I will do my best to keep this blog updated! So onto the nail mail/lipstick mail. I ordered this from Beauty Joint. As you can see it was nicely packaged and the prices were cheap! They labeled it as a gift so I didn't get taxed on it when it arrived either! NICE!

I'll be swiping these guys later as I did buy Nail Wheel from Trans Design(which was packaged very well if you are worried about nail polishes breaking over shipping).

Mermaid Tears - Strips

I was getting bored of my stash of polishes and I'm still waiting on my nail mails :D!! So.. I do what every desperate girl in need of a new polish colour does... borrows from her sister..

My sister manage to get her hands on some of the Pirates of The Caribbean collection; mermaid tears being one of them. This polishes if done properly only needs one coat! But that's because I've been using a lot more on brush. It would be opaque with 2 coats. I decided to add a label "Opaque" so it makes it easier. I tend to like when I see that people put the amount of coats when they review nail polishes. It's a huge money saver because I only like nailpolish with complete opaqueness...:\. ONTO THE PICS!

 No Flash & Compared to Mint Candy Apple

 I'm excited for my nail wheels to come in the mail. You will no longer have to suffer looking at my short nails for polish swipes. Plus it would be way easier to compare polishes :)

First Fraken

Sorry for the lack of posting!The other day I got a chance to do my first franken. Not sure what I will name it, right now, maybe something with starfish related stuff? Hmm... 

 

I also used Insta-Dri Fast Dry Nail Polish in I believe is "Mint Sprint"

The "It" Color failure/unfailure.

Today my nails started as a fail but I think in the end it worked out (a little messy, but still acceptable to wear out). I tried doing a miss match combo.. hugeee fail. So I decided to go back to doing something I did months ago. Unfortunately the yellow (aka The "It" Color by OPI) had not the best quality & the white nail polish had the worst (it's by Rimmel for a manicure set). So, this was kind of messy and I hope to do it sometime in the future. It still looks cool though right :p?

 The failed miss-match look I did minutes before the above one:
