Formula X Polish | THRILLING

 

Hi loves!! I have a quick post today. I didn't want to neglect the blog this week. This time of year is super busy for me but I still want to commit to my blog. I don't have a lot of subscribers but I really enjoy sharing my nails and nail art via a blog. Yes Instagram is instant but sometimes I just feel like posting.

A few weeks ago I went to Sephora just to get the Formula X polish remover in the huge jar and picked up a few polishes. Well $138 dollars later I have 6 polishes and the remover jar!

Thrilling stood out to me because of its nudish pink shade. I'm not sure why I keep gravitating to nudes but I just love them. Here I'm wearing two coats and I used a cheap white polish for the accent nails.

These polishes are super opaque. Honestly one coat is great especially for designs and having that one coat as a base.

If you haven't already check out the pretty polishes from Formula X!

 

Sinful Colors | ORANGE CREAM | SWATCHES

 

I've had this polish for a while now as most polishes in my collection. But I'm in the process of trying to organize this nail hoarding I got going on and in the process came across this beauty.

China Glaze | Spring In My Step

 

Here are swatches of China Glaze Spring in My Step. It's the perfect pastel pink.

Somehow this manicure got lost. I posted on Instagram but forgot to do a post on it.

I'm playing catch up with my posts. It's been a hectic few weeks for me. I try and schedule post but sometimes I can only get one post up. But I'm improving. I really enjoy posting my nails and watching my growth.

Valentines Day Nail Art

 

My right hand

It seems as though I've been looking at nails, nail art and polish non stop here lately. Any of my free time I've dedicated to looking at nails. I've always been into nails but here lately I've become somewhat obsessed with nails.

So many ideas and designs have run through my mind. I have become inspired by so many nail artist and bloggers. I like the inspiration but at the same time I like to sort of make things my own. Pretty much be unique sort of speak. It's really hard to come up with original designs because with so many nail bloggers and nail artist some things I think of have already been done. For example, I'm a chocolate lover. So the other day I said hmmm I should do candy bar nails or a Twix or Mr. Goodbar inspiration nail. Well in my cruise through nail designs via google wouldn't you know I saw these already done. I didn't see Mr. Goodbar but pretty much the idea I had was already done.

Last night before going to bed I looked at a few nail videos on YouTube and had the idea of doing a bouquet of hearts(middle finger) . But my vision was to have the bouquet just to the side of the nail. Being I don't have the length for that nor a steady hand it covered the whole nail.

So this morning I decided to play around with different designs using my acrylic paints and maybe come up with a concept or two. I figured why not post to Instagram and blog what I've done. I'm still a work in progress and I'm anxious to get better at my hobby.

Here is another pic of my left hand.

Also I failed to mention I did this over an old mani of nude polish. Here is a pic of the previous mani that I blogged about the other day.

If you enjoy nail art, what inspires you to create? I'd love to know!

 

Nude manicure | Ulta's SET THE NUDE

 

2 coats

I decided to do a nude manicure today. I love nude polishes! But some nudes don't always go well with my complexion.

I love this nude color by ULTA called " Set The Nude". It is very opaque! I will say it's a little streaky on the first coat but still opaque. The second coat is not as streaky.

Also today I tried to do a tape method. Ughh ! It ended up in a diamond shape which is fine but I'm still a work in progress. The color for the diamond shape is Color Show's "Gold's Night Out".

I have so many polishes that I've never used, just may have swatched so look forward to some different combos coming soon.

Thanks for reading and let me know what you think of this nude mani!
