31 Day Challenge: Day 2 - Orange

31 Day Challenge

Day 2:

Orange Nails

So for this manicure, I used a Kiss Nail Art Pen, a white acrylic paint, and the polish by Joe called "Crush Orange" I bought it at superstore. I kind of forgot to film it... So unfortunately you guys will have to wait almost two weeks for the video tutorial :( (because I'm going to California, and will be wearing a gel manicure) But I do have another video I will be posting about my basic manicure prep and process! :)

For the video it will be called Monarch Butterfly Nail Art tutorial, because after I did them I realized that I couldn't call them orange nails :D I hope you like them!!! :)

bornprettystore.com REVIEW! :)

Today I received my first order from bornprettystore.com! I bought this pack of dotting tools, and a pack of brushes.

I think with tax they were about $8. Also, they have FREE shipping!!! :) I live in Canada, and this is a RARE thing to find for me :) They also have a wide variety of products, which is great as well.

They said the order would come in 8-16 days (I'm pretty sure) but that is not including non-business days. Including business days, my order came in 13 days. So it actually came in basically 8 days with NO harm to the contents, except for a slight dent in one brush (which doesn't matter to me, it works fine!) :) I am very happy, and I will definitely be buying more stuff from there!!

PS: I am filming a video today!!! ;)


XOXO

GREAT NEWS!!!! :)

I've...

**DRUMROLL PLEASE**

STOPPED BITING MY NAILS!!! :) And it's all thanks to my ring! When I feel like biting my nails, I twirl my ring to keep my hands busy. I seriously didn't think I would ever stop biting my nails, but TADA!! And with my strength and growth problems, I'm soaking my nails in olive oil. With that and stopping biting my nails, I'm seeing major improvement!! :) 

I can't wait to get my gel nail kit, I'm so excited!! I'm going to write a review on here, and then the second time I do it, I'll make a video. I'm also kind of nervous, because I heard if you get the polish on your cuticle and harden it by accident, it's like impossible to get off without removing the whole nail. :( One of my favourite Youtubers, Mr. Kate, did a tutorial, so here is the link:

Anyways, I am planning 4 videos soon!!! ;) So watch out, and subscribe if you haven't already!! Love you all!!

Fake Nails?

So... I've literally tried EVERYTHING for my nails, and it's not just that I bite them, they break by themselves too!! I've tried olive oil, 5 different strengtheners, 3 different growth products, regular manicures, filling, and I also take REALLY good care of my cuticles :(

And NOTHING helps :( Soon I will be getting the Sensationail gel kit, and that should help me stop biting them, but if that doesn't work, I am seriously considering fake nails. 

I know they wreck your nails, and are horrible to take off. I know this because I wore them once when I was younger for a day before I realized they were way too long. I have no idea how my friend keeps her natural nails perfect while also sometimes wearing fake nails. (It was her idea)

Anyways, if I do decide to wear fake nails, I would probably never take them off. Please reply and tell me what you think I should do!! You can reply even if you don't have an account :)

31 Day Challenge: Day 1 - Red

31 Day Challenge

Day 1:

Red Nails

I really enjoyed this challenge, because I have a brand new red Orly polish that I wanted to try out anyways :D I thought a whole hand of a super short (ugly!!) french manicure (which by the way I used an Art Deco striper in gold for) would look weird, so on my ring finger I used a red and my other gold striper to make a weaved pattern. Here it is: 

The picture didn't turn out very well (it looked like pink!!) so I photoshopped it a bit... But I'm working on making a lighting box, and figuring out the settings on my camera.

Since I last blogged, I've soaked my nails in olive oil twice for ten minutes each time. It didn't work as fast as I hoped, but it's going to take time either way! :) I just want to clarify though, it IS WORKING. I did this design before I started on the olive oil, so that's why they're so short! But overall, I would recommend using it :D

Okay, I'll blog again in a couple days with my orange nails! Kisses! <3

31 Day Challenge!

Hey!! So I'm sorry I didn't post a swatch, but I've decided to keep my nails natural for maybe... 3 ish days? I'm doing this so I can soak them in olive oil and rubbing lemon on them to get them stronger and longer. (I hear it works, don't judge me) But THEN I'll be doing a...

*DRUMROLL PLEASE*

31 DAY CHALLENGE! :) 

Okay so maybe it wasn't a surprise or anything, you know, judging by the title :D I got it from the page Polish Art Addiction, and I think she did a really good job so, here it is: 

I'm SO excited, and I hope you like it when I post them!

XOXO

Design tomorrow, and why my nails hate me

Ah-soooooo I was gonna do LMFAO nails this week but er... It's just not happening... Sorry :( But tomorrow I will post a pic of some design (probably someone else's) :D

OH also my nails are just like "LOOOOL WE'RE GONNA BE CRAPPY FOR YOU FOR ETERNITY!!!!!!!!! WE HATE YOU!!!!!!!"
.......
Okay so that's an exaggeration, but I'm gonna start putting olive oil on them which will hopefully help... But for now they are all on a super short (like literally) time out right now until they decide they wanna be good. So tomorrow expect some ugly short nails. That are actually really creepy if you stare at them a long time.


XOXO
