Pink and Gold Valentine's Sweater Manicure

Hello everyone,

This week's manicure features my second new plate from MoYou London: Festive 06. Where Valentine's Day is fast approaching I wanted to get started with the heart-themed nails :)

Pink and Silver Stamped Manicure

Hello everyone,

I'm a very happy girl this week, my new MoYou London plate order is here! This time I ordered the Fashionista 08 and the Festive 06. This manicure is my first with the Fashionista plate. Next week's will probably feature a stamp from the Festive :).

Purple Chevron Manicure

Hello everyone,

I've been wanting to try this tutorial from Pshiiit for a long time now, and thought I'd put my own spin on it by using my beloved purple polishes :). My manicure isn't as perfect as her's, but I like it nonetheless.

Gold and Red Ruffian

Hello everyone,

Sorry for the late post again this week, I've recently started an online course beginning my second degree and it's taken up quite a bit of my time. I took the day off from studying today and just finished crocheting a hat (in record time I might add, haha). Anyway, for this week's manicure I decided to use two polishes I received for Christmas and this is what I came up with:

My First Manicure Of 2015!

Hello everyone and Happy New Year!

This week's manicure features one of my new polishes that I bought over the holiday: OPI's Blue My Mind.

New Years Mani and I'm Back!

Hello everyone,

Happy holidays! Sorry about the delay in posting, I just got back from sunny Florida where I celebrated Christmas with my fiancé's family. I had a plain shellac manicure while I was down there so I wouldn't have to worry about anything happening to it. I didn't feel it was worth posting, so when I got home I made sure to post this one :)

Christmas Season #3: Candy Cane Water Marble

Hello everyone,

Over the week, I attempted my first ever water marble manicure. I'm proud to say that it turned out well!

Christmas Season #2: Blue with Silver Snowflakes

Hello everyone,

Sorry about the late post this week, I've been super busy with everything going on before Christmas break. This week, I wanted to stay away from the usual Christmas red that I wear all season and try a more general Wintery manicure. This was the result:

Christmas Season 2014 #1: Simple Holiday Glitter

Hello everyone,

Christmas is fast approaching and I couldn't wait to start my first Holiday manicure. This week's manicure is a simple manicure with red, silver, green, and purple glitter polish.

The Lacquer Legion: Yummy

Hello everyone,

I can't believe it's been a month since the last Lacquer Legion prompt already! This month has certainly flown and it's almost time for the holidays. This will probably be my last non-holiday-themed manicure now for the rest of the year!

This month's prompt was "Yummy" and all I could think of was dessert. I decided to paint an ice cream and chocolate manicure (with sprinkles, of course!) and this is what resulted:

Keep reading below to see how this manicure was completed and which products I used :)

Breaking out the Fall/Winter Polishes: Gold and Berry

Hello everyone,

As promised, I'm sharing this week's manicure in my second post this week. It's a simple manicure as of yet and I'm thinking of adding to it as the week goes on.

Testing Glitter Off Base Under Texture Polish

Hello everyone,

Today I am removing my manicure I painted last week. The last time I tested my Glitter Off base coat it worked great on bulky glitter, but it was hard to remove the texture polish simply by picking it off. This time, I'm trying something different.

Simple OPI Liquid Sand Manicure

Hello everyone,

This past week has been really busy with work, I've been fighting a cold/sinus infection/laryngitis, and one of my nails broke off :(. All of those factors put together = a late posting and a simple texture polish manicure. Texture polishes are great for a quick manicure (you don't need topcoat) and it helps cover up a bad break.

Shimmery French Manicure

Hello everyone,

This week, I decided to paint a French manicure. I really enjoy how they look, but this time I wanted to add some sparkly glitter to the tips.

The Lacquer Legion: After Dark

Hello everyone,

For this month's prompt, I decided to create a dark and abstract Halloween manicure. This is what resulted:

Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2014 #4

Hello everyone,

To finish off my manicures for Breast Cancer Awareness Month this year, I decided to complete a manicure with the same polishes I began with: OPI's Pink of Hearts 2013 polishes.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month #3

Hello everyone,

This week, I decided to use my oldest OPI nail polish: And This Little Piggy, and my newest OPI nail polish: It's Frosty Outside (I just recently bought the full-sized bottle after using up the mini bottle I was given last year).

Sorry about the blurry picture, my camera wasn't cooperating with focus today.

My Second Pink Manicure for Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2014

Hello everyone,

This week I really wanted to try out a new polish I bought this weekend: China Glaze's Hologram. It isn't pink, so to keep with the theme of the month I decided to add OPI's Pink Shatter on top :).

On Wednesdays, We Wear Pink: My First Pink Manicure for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Hello everyone,

Sorry about the delay in posting again this week. I've been very busy lately with work and some at-home projects. I finally found time to do my nails for the week and wanted to continue with last October's theme of pink manicures for breast cancer awareness.

The Lacquer Legion: Crisp

Hello everyone,

This month's prompt for the Lacquer Legion is "Crisp", which is the perfect word to describe what today feels like! I decided to try a fall manicure to go with this prompt: trees with orange and yellow leaves.

This manicure didn't go as I imagined it would (I'm still not the best at free-handing my nail art), but I think they still look like trees for the most part, haha. 

In order to complete this manicure, I started by painting my nails two coats of OPI's Alpine Snow. Once dry, I sponged on OPI's I Just Can't Cope-acabana and Where Did Suzi's Man-go? to create a tree-like effect. Then, using a thin nail-art brush, I painted on the tree trunk and branch shapes using OPI's I Sao Paulo Over There. When that dried, I applied top coat.

This is one of the most tree-like nails :)

What do you think? Thanks for stopping by!
