Zoya Happi - 92/365

Hello loves!

Today I just had to use more of my Zoya Color Cuties. This one is Happi. It's a beautiful pink packed with golden shimmer and boy does it make me happy when I stare at it. This polish very sheer and it took three coats before I was satisfied with the result.

Happy April! - 91/365

Hello loves!

Happy April! As I mentioned in my Basket Weave post if I see something when I'm out and about that gives me inspiration for nail art I will snap a picture of it. And that is exactly what happened for today's manicure. I saw this flower pot in Michael's and I knew it would be perfect for a mani.

I received the Zoya Color Cuties in my Easter basket from my parents and I couldn't wait to use them. I painted my thumb, pointer finger, and pinky with Neely and then my middle and ring finger are Zuza. I decided to only do the squiggle design on the nails with Zuza on them.

Happy Easter! - 90/365

Hello my loves!

Happy Easter! I had a wonderful day today and I hope you did as well. We surprised my parents with a party for their 25th anniversary and it went off without a hitch! They were so surprised!

I went into this mani thinking I was going to do Easter bunnies on each nail that all looked the same but then as I started I thought it would be cool if it looked as though the bunny was hopping up as each nail went on. I started off with just the ears and then went to just a peek of the head and then the eyes and a peek of the nose and then the full face.

What did the Easter bunny bring you? Let me know down below!

Care for a Carrot? - 89/365

Hello my loves!

I was stumped for ideas for today but I had seen some Easter nail art with carrots incorporated so I decided to go crazy for carrots. I did one large carrot for the accent nail on my ring ringer and then did smaller carrots on the rest of the nails.

Do you like carrots? Let me know down below!

Decorated Easter Egg Mani - 88/365

Hello loves!

When it was time to do Easter manis I knew I had to do a mani that looked like decorated Easter eggs. I love the way this turned out. I alternated between polka dots and lines with different colors so that each nail would be unique just like Easter Eggs.

Did you decorate Easter Eggs this year? Let me know down below!

Easter Polka - 87/365

Hello my loves!

Today I wanted to do a pastel mani for the upcoming Easter holiday. I used polishes from Lime Crime's collection. The only problem I have with these is the awful color the green turns the cream polish. I instantly regretted not using a white polish. I wonder if adding a top coat before adding the cream polish would have helped.

Have you had a polish turn a weird color after being layered over another polish? Let me know down below

Watercolor Nails - 84/365

Hello my loves!

Today I started off with a base of Zoya Purity and then I took OPI What's With The Cattitude?, Pink Friday, and You're Such A Budapest with makeup sponge pieces and sponged it on. I was going for a dyed Easter egg effect and it turned out looking like watercolor.

Easter Chicks - 85/365

Hello my loves!

Today's nail art is inspired by baby chicks hatching from their shells. I started out with Zoya Purity for my base and then when in with Zoya Pippa to create zig zag lines across the nail and fill the two lines in. I used Zoya Raven with a dotting tool for the eyes and then OPI A Roll in the Hague with a small nail art brush to create an orange triangle for the chicks' beaks.

Matchy Matchy - 83/365

Hello my loves!

Today I wanted to do something that I don't often do: match my nails to my outfit. Most of the time my nails are a complete contrast to my attire but the fun stripe print on this dress inspired me to do some matchy matchy nail art.

Zoya Purity - 82/365

Hello my loves!

I was watching Taylor Swift's video for her song 22 and I saw she was wearing white nail polish and it looked so good that I wanted to try it. Plus I needed white as a base for tomorrow's nail art so it was a win win.

Which do you prefer plain white polish or plain black polish? Let me know down below!

Butter LONDON Fishwife - 78/365

Hello loves!

I got this polish a couple weeks ago and I honestly don't know why I didn't try it sooner. It is gorgeous. It is Butter LONDON Fishwife and this is three coats. I have been wanting the new China Glaze Hologlam Collection but I can't find anywhere that is selling the whole collection. Fishwife definitely gave me my holo nail polish fix. I will probably add onto this manicure for tomorrow because I don't want to take this beautiful polish off my fingers just yet.

Turquoise Nails - 77/365

Hello my loves!

So in the April issue of Cosmo I found a picture of Vanessa Hudgens with these turquoise nails. They had a tutorial on how to recreate them so I wanted to try. They recommended Essie Turquoise and Caicos so that is what I used but I wish I had used a brighter turquoise color. This color was just too muted for my taste. Then they told you to take a sandwich bag and crumple it and dip it into a bronze colored polish and then dab on the nail. I used Orly Rage for the bronze color even though that's more of a rose gold.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! - 76/365

Hello loves!

I hope you all had a wonderful St. Patrick's Day and drank lots of green beer! My festive nails in honor of today actually tell a story...

Once upon a time I found a four-leafed clover and a magical leprechaun appeared. He told me that at the end of the rainbow I would find a pot of gold. I found the pot of gold and lived happily ever after with my never-ending pot of gold.

Don't Pinch Me - 75/365

Hello my loves!

Today to get in the mood for St. Patrick's Day I wanted to do a green manicure for St. Patty's Day but I wanted it to be subtle because I wanted my spirited manicure for the day of St. Patrick's Day. I started off with two coats of China Glaze Entourage and then I went in with Zoya Purity on my dotting tool and alternated between big dots and smalls dots on each nails.

Do you prefer subtle nail art or would you rather go all out? Let me know down below!

Striped Tie Dye - 73/365

Hello my loves!

My manicure today is a product of failure that turned different than what I wanted but still very good. It wasn't the effect I was going for but I altered it as I went and it turned into this great striped tie dye design. I used OPI Dating A Royal, OPI Kiss Me On My Tulips, and Zoya Purity.

Have you every done a design that didn't turn out like you pictured in your head but it still worked? Let me know down below!

Three Swipes and You're Out - 72/365

Hello loves!

Today's manicure is definitely a perfect one for Spring or Easter and it is super easy. You can find a tutorial on MissJenFabulous 's YouTube channel. I took advantage of Butter LONDON's 3 for $30 sale they had a couple of weeks ago and I just received the order yesterday. I got Jasper, Molly-Coddled, and Fishwife so I decided to use a couple of them today. I also used Fiver by Butter LONDON from their Sweetie Shop Spring 2013 collection which also includes Jasper and Molly-Coddled.

Did you know Butter LONDON has a dictionary on their website that tells you what the names of their polishes mean? What's your favorite name? Let me know down below!

OPI When Monkeys Fly over Did You Ear About Van Gogh - 71/365

Hello my loves!

Over the weekend I received The Great and Powerful Oz collection by OPI in the mail from Cutandblow.com 's sale. You should definitely check them out because each polish was only $5.50. And I believe they have OPI on there quite a bit. I really wanted to try this polish because of the waffle glitter in it. I must say that When Monkeys Fly didn't quite meet my expectations. The waffle glitter was hard to get on the nails and even harder to space evenly over the nail. I was glad to find that the glitter didn't lift off the nail that much and it really wasn't in danger of catching something and coming off. I chose to put this glitter over OPI's Did You Ear About Van Gogh? because I really wanted to spotlight the gorgeous glitter.

Spring Ikat Print - 70/365

Hello loves!

Ever since I have seen the ikat print nail design I really wanted to try it but I had yet to do it until today. I think I was actually intimidated by it because I wanted my design to be as good as all the others and I was afraid mine wouldn't be up to par. I have been becoming more and more confident in my nail art ability so this weekend I did a test run of the ikat print and turned out well so I decided to do that today. For the base I used Sunday Funday from China Glaze's Avant Garden collection and then used Fade Into Hue from the same collection for the base of the ikat spots. I used Zoya Raven for the black outline and then the very middle. Zoya Purity is the white in the middle.

What color combos do you like for ikat print? Let me know down below!

Neon Leaf Vein Print - 69/365

Hello my loves!

You know I couldn't take the neon off my nails! I was in a time crunch so I decided to add to my nails some lines in kind of a leaf vein pattern. This design was super simple and I love the effect of it.

China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy - 68/365

Hello loves!

After my neon manicure this past week I was dying for more neon in my life and on my nails. China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy is bright neon pink. I looked for it in my Sally's the other day but I didn't see it there but the best place I have found to buy China Glaze is Head2Toe Beauty. Their prices are great and I have ordered from them numerous times and never had a problem.
