Valentine's Day Nails #2!

I have another Valentine's Day manicure today! I saw this on YouTube last year & I really love it. I will post the link on the bottom of the page. For this manicure I painted my nails with Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in White Out. I sponged on Ulta nail polish in the color Fuchsiamania and OPI Pink Friday from the Nicki Minaj collection. I keep using Pink Friday in my manicures. I freakin love that color and it's perfect for Valentine's Day nail art. I think I should go and get another bottle! Then I painted black hearts using a nail art polish. Here are the pics:

& here is the YouTube video on how to do it & where I got the design from:

Valentine's Day Nails!

Valentine's Day is coming up! I don't know about you but I think if you're in a relationship every day should be Valentine's Day lol.. I never really got into the whole Valentine's Day thing but it's so cute for nail art. I have a couple of other nail designs in mind so this is just the first one I'm showing you guys! It's so simple but it's so so cute.. I love it.

I used Pink Friday from the OPI Nicki Minaj Collection and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in White Out. To make the heart design I just used a toothpick. If you guys do any Valentine's Day nail art leave the link in the comments. I'd love to see them :)

OPI Nicki Minaj Collection

Wow. It's been way too long since I've posted! I have so many things to show you guys but I haven't had the chance to blog. First I want to show you guys the new Nicki Minaj Collection for OPI. I'm not a huge fan of Nicki but I'm obviously a huge fan of nail polish and this collection has some awesome colors. My boyfriend surprised me and got me the mini set which only comes with 4 of the colors. I love mini's. Their super cute and they let you try which ones you want to buy a full bottle of instead of buying a regular size bottle, being disappointed, and never using it again. So this set came with Did It On 'Em, Fly, Pink Friday, and Metallic 4 Life. Let's start with my absolute favorite - Pink Friday. I'm OBSESSED with this color. I'm not a fan of pinks, I rarely ever wear pink nail polish but OMG this might be my top 5 favorite colors. I might have to get 3 regular size bottles of this!

The second color that I really love is Fly of course because I love blue nail polishes. I don't think I own anything similar to this one.

 And the last color is Did It On 'Em. I am definitely not a fan of this one. It reminded me of Who the Shrek Are You? from the OPI Shrek Collection, that was another color I wasn't a fan of.

I went and got my Who the Shrek Are You? and decided to see if the colors were similar. They're almost identical. Who the Shrek Are You? is a little bit darker than Did It On 'Em but not by much. On my pointer and ring finger I have Who the Shrek Are You? and on my middle finger and pinky I have Did It On 'Em.

You can tell more in the shade that they are different. But in the sunlight you can't really tell. What do you guys think of this collection?

*Correction* I was looking at other blogs and I did not receive Metallic 4 Life in my mini collection! I got Save Me! On the box it says Metallic 4 Life but the actual polish is Save Me. I told my boyfriend and he said that he read online that OPI made an error!

I used the glitter that came with the mini collection called 'Save Me'. I really love it. It's little silver glitter with holographic bar glitter. I wish the bar glitter stood out more when I put it on my nails. (Excuse my cuticles on my middle finger!) I definitely don't have anything like this glitter, even though I'm sure there are similar ones.

Day 10 - Gradient Nails

For this challenge I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Lacey Lilac (the top color),  OPI Funky Dunkey (middle color), & OPI Siberian Nights (bottom color). This was my first time doing gradient nails so I'm not sure if I did them exactly right.

Day 5 - Blue Nails

My absolute favorite nail color is blue! I'm always wearing blue nail polish. My friend Adriana tells me all the time to wear a different color lol but I can't help it! So for this challenge I wasn't sure which blue to choose because I just love so many of them. But my favorite dark blue has to be OPI - Yoga-Ta Get This Blue! This blue is absolutely gorgeous. I had a little trouble getting a really good picture of it, so I took a couple. The shimmer when the light hits this color is beautiful. What do you guys think? What's your favorite shade of blue?

Day 1 - Red Nails

If you know me, you know I absolutely HATE red nails. I know, I know - shocking right? Who hates red nails? I don't know what it is about them but I hate the way they look on my nails. BUT! Thanks to this challenge I used a nail polish I've had for the longest time that I never used. I actually had to open the bottle using my teeth because it's been that long. I didn't even care if I ruined my teeth that's how much I only care about my nails. Just kidding. I probably would've cried, but at least my nails would've looked nice :) So for this manicure I used a red from the OPI Alice in Wonderland Collection. When this came out I was obsessed with the colors. Don't ask my why because there's two reds in it and I don't wear red. I loved the glitters though. And I love Alice in Wonderland. So my sweet boyfriend who feeds into my obsession bought me the mini collection. And this is the first time I'm using it. I had to have had this for maybe 2 years. I don't even remember when it came out.

I could NOT get a perfect picture of this color. These pictures do the color no justice. How cute is the wittle bottle? I love. I thought maybe I would be able to get a good picture of the color from the bottle, but NOPE. It's a shimmery, dark red. It looks like silk or foil. I think it's perfect for Christmas time too. Now I wish I would've tried this color when the collection came out so I could've bought the bigger bottle. I guess I'll have to check Amazon or Ebay. Oh, I almost forgot. The color of this nail polish is called 'Thanks so Muchness'

Rainbow Shatter

A little switch up from those subtle nails. This manicure is a little more eye popping. I'm sure some of you have seen this before since the shatter nail polishes have been out for a while, but I didn't have a blog when I first did this mani. I love this mani so much! It's definitely one of my favorites. Here's a picture of what it is:

This is such an easy and fun manicure. I started with my base coat - I use Diamond Shield - then I put one coat of white - I used Sinful Colors Snow Me White - just to make the colors pop more. Then with my dotting tool I dotted colors on my nails in random patterns. The colors I used were:

OPI - Who the Shrek are You?

Brucci - Gianna's "Rockin" Blue

Sally Hansen - Mellow Yellow

Love & Beauty (Forever 21) - Pink
OPI - Black Shatter

The purple I used is by Color Club but the sticker on the bottom came off so I don't know the name of it. This is what my nails looked like before the shatter. They're a little bit of a mess.

It's ok if it's not perfect. It's not supposed to be. And if you get it on your cuticles you can clean it up after, no biggie.
