OPI Eurso Euro - 57/365

Hello loves!

Eurso Euro must be yesterday's cousin or maybe if polishes are like birds its the male version. It is a beautiful dark royal blue creme polish. I must say this is my second favorite in the collection. I am a sucker for blue polishes though.



Do you think polishes are girls or boys or both? Let me know down below!

Hello loves!

Today I am starting off with my first swatch of the OPI Euro Centrale Collection. First up is Hands Off My Kielbasa! It is a dusty rose color with bronze shimmer in it. The formula was great, hardly any streaking and opaque with two coats. This color is a great workplace appropriate shade.

Tempting Scouse - 50/365

Hello loves!

I just couldn't bear to take Scouse off so I decided to do a little sponging to create a gradient on my nails. I chose OPI DS Temptation because it was a dark blue base filled with purple microglitter and a tiny bit of blue microglitter. I thought the purple would bring out the purple duochrome in Scouse. I absolutely love the effect it gave my nails.



What color combos do you love? Let me know down below?

Butter LONDON Scouse - 49/365

Hello loves!

On my nails today is one of my lemmings for the past few months. I was so happy when I spotted Butter LONDON Scouse in my Ulta. I had to pick it up immediately. It is a brilliant blue with purple shimmer that gives it a duochrome quality. I applied three coats but you could probably get away with only two coats.

Cupcake Nails - 48/365

Hello loves!

Today's manicure is a sweet one! Cupcakes!!! I started off with two coats of Butter LONDON Teddy Girl. Then I painted one coat of Essie Coat Azure half way up my nails. I used OPI's I Saw...U Saw...We Saw...Warsaw for cups' stripes. The icing is Zoya Purity, the cherry OPI The Thrill of Brazil and the sprinkles were OPI Can't Find My Czechbook, OPI Suzi's Hungary AGAIN!, and Zoya Pippa.

Chit Chat - 47/365

Hello loves!

Todays nail art design is inspired by the wonderful phone case I received for Christmas from a beautiful friend. This Kate Spade phone case was the perfect nail inspiration. I used Zoya Kristi and Butter LONDON Primrose Hill Picnic for the CHIT CHAT. For my thumbs I used Zoya Kristi as a base and then Butter LONDON The Full Monty for Kate's signature spade.



Are there any other Kate Spade designs I should use for inspiration? Let me know down below!

Hearts of Gold - 45/365

Hello lovies!

This is my Valentine's Day manicure. I wanted to do something that matched the dress I was wearing. It was an orange-toned red color so I went with OPI Cajun Shrimp. I think added mini gold hearts in a polka dot pattern using Zoya Ziv to my nails. I went for one large gold heart on my accent nail. I really love the way it turned out.




What did you do for Valentine's Day? Nail wise and event wise? Let me know down below!

TIc Tac Love - 44/365

Hello loves!

I got the idea for this manicure from Pinterest. I used Zoya Purity as a base for all my nails except my pointer finger where I used Zoya Storm. I added two coats of China Glaze Snow Globe to my ring finger and then used Zoya Ali for the pink hearts on my pinky and middle finger. On my thumb I used Zoya Liquid Vinyl and Zoya Ali for the Tic Tac Love design.

Guest Nails - 43/365

Hello love doves!

While I don't have my own manicure for today to show you I did do a manicure on my friend's nails. (That counts as a different manicure right??) I told my friend to look at pictures online of nail art and pick one out that she wanted to do. She picked this one and I think it turned out really well. Butter LONDON's Primrose Hill Picnic is the beautiful pink base for this manicure. I used Orly Liquid Vinyl for the black polka dots and Zoya Purity for the white heart. I then outlined the heart in glitter from the Born Pretty Store.

What do you think? Let me know down below.

Nail Full of Hearts - 42/365

Hello lovelies!

Today I added hearts of all different sizes and colors over Essie Leading Lady from yesterday. Using Butter LONDON Diamond Geezer, Lime Crime Parfait Day, and Zoya Purity I used a small nail art brush to create different sized hearts on each nail. I love the dimension Leading Lady gives to this manicure.

Essie Leading Lady - 41/365

Hello love doves!

I didn't have enough time to do an intricate design today so I decided I would start off with the base for the next design I wanted to do. Here is Essie Leading Lady. It is a dark red jelly base filled with red glitter. It went on in two coats but it was difficult to work with. The formula was on the thick side but if you are patient with it you can make it work.




Don't you hate when you have a beautiful polish color but the formula isn't up to par? Do you fight with the formula or do you pass it up? Let me know down below.

Simple Hearts - 40/365

Hello loves!

The next Valentine's Day manicure I have for you is a simple one. It is simply white hearts on pink nails. I used Essie French Affair for the pink and Zoya Purity for the white hearts.




Not all nail art has to been intricate, sometimes a simple design is the perfect thing. What do you think? Let me know down below.

X's & O's - 39/365

Hello lovelies!

Today I continued with my Valentine's nail designs. I started off with Lime Crime Milky Ways on all of my fingers. I then went in with the colors from the rest of the collection and did an XO pattern in different colors on each nail.



I really like the way it turned out. It is similar to the conversation hearts in color but different enough to be unique. What do you think? Let me know down below.

You Make My Heart Beat - 37/365

Hello loves!

If you are paying attention you might notice that I did miss a day. I knew going into this that it would be a challenge to do a different manicure each day. However I do have a good excuse and I could get a doctor's note if you want. Yesterday I got my tonsils taken out. :( And unfortunately I couldn't wear any  polish during the surgery and after it was over I was in no mood to paint my nails. I will be taking it easy for the next week or so. I decided I wanted to start doing some Valentine's Day nail art so you can get some inspiration for the upcoming holiday.

Today I did a fun heartbeat design on my nails. I started off with Zoya Purity and then for the heartbeat line I used OPI The Thrill of Brazil. I just used a small nail art brush for the line and I think it turned out  well.




What do you think about this nail design? What Valentine's Day designs are you going to try out this year? Let me know down below.

Urban Decay Creep - 35/365

Hello lovies!

Creep is a black based polish loaded with silver microglitter. It took two coats for full opacity.




So I would like to apologize for the lack of quality pictures for the past few posts. I was on vacation and relied on my phone camera to capture my nails. I was gone for six days so I figured the Urban Decay Naked Nail Set would be the perfect set to take because it was small and compact and I would have a color for any occasion. I think that just like the other products from the Naked line you could bring them and be set for a vacation. This nail set has a color to fit any occasion while on a trip. The only thing you might need to include is a bright color but this palette is versatile and great for trips. What do you think? Have you picked up this palette yet? Would you take it with you on vacation? Let me know down below.

Urban Decay Sidecar - 34/365
