jamaica me crazy!

Hey guys, last Jewel FX accented mani for you today!
I had to name this post Jamaica Me Crazy because I just love the name of this Essie polish.

As I said, this is Essie's Jamaica Me Crazy, a lovely hot pink polish with lots and lots of microshimmer.
It is so shimmery you would almost think it would be gritty, but it is smooth as glass.
This was my first Essie and I'm happy that I got it! I really like it.

And again, the stamping was done with China Glaze 2030, the image is from Konad m63.
And obviously, Milani Jewel FX in Gold for the accent nail.

Well, that's it for my Jewel FX accented nails.
Which one was your favorite - Senorita Bonita, Frostbite, San Francisco, or Jamaica Me Crazy?


Last night instead of doing homework I decided to use all my Color Quick Pens to do a mani and review.
Look out for that tomorrow :)

san francisco swirl

Hey guys, today I have for you another design that I did with my Jewel FX accent nail.

This one was my favorite of the three I did after I took of Senorita Bonita. (But that one was my absolute favorite. Until it chipped.)

I hadn't used this swirly image before but I really like how it looks! It's from Konad m63.

The base color for this manicure is Sinful Colors San Francisco.
My boyfriend bought me this for Christmas, and even picked it out himself! How sweet.
I'm a big fan of this color. 3 coats.
The stamping was, again, done with China Glaze 2030. (Which coincidentally my boyfriend also got me for Christmas.)
And of course, Milani Jewel FX in Gold for the accent nail!

I meant to say in my last post that to avoid this look:

I dabbed a bit of 2030 onto the tip of my nail to cover where the glitter missed. You can't even notice that it is there, it just covers the bit of naked nail I was left with.

I just got home from school a half hour ago, and waiting in my mail box were my Sally Hansen Color Quick Chrome pens!! I was so delighted. (I bought 6 on ebay for ~$15.)
I also received a wheel of bullion/steel beads from Born Pretty.
I'll review these things in the coming days, when I have time between my projects and homework!
Speaking of homework... I must go do some. Bleh!

frostbite houndstooth

Hey guys, before I removed my intense Jewel FX gold nail, I tried out a few more designs with it.
So today I have the first one for you!

For this design I used China Glaze - Frostbite as a base, and I stamped from Konad m63 with China Glaze - 2030.
For some reason, 2030 looked less gold over Frostbite than it should have.
And of course, the accent nail is Milani Jewel FX in Gold.

This is a more accurate photo of the colors!

Out of the designs I tried, this one was my least favorite.
I love houndstooth but it just didn't go so well!

I've got a busy week coming up, so I probably won't have very detailed posts for the next little while.
And then after this busy week? Exams.
So I'm basically busy from now until April16th! Sorry in advance if I don't post as much as normal.

I just realized, you can kinda see my reflection in the bottle... haha!

ribbons/swirly thing/idk

Today I've got an older mani to show you.
I actually remember I was wearing this when I started this blog! Hahaha.
Which, coincidentally, was 2 months ago today!
191 followers in 2 months. Thanks everyone!!!

I wasn't a huge fan of this stamp, it didn't work as well as I had hoped. (Also apparently I didn't do such a great job with clean up as I am seeing now...)
But I'm sure if I did it again, I would get better results.
The base color is one of my favorites - Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Trouble Maker.
I stamped from Konad m63 with China Glaze 2030.

That's all for tonight - I'm going giveaway shopping!
(Yes, a giveaway!)
