Yellow - Coldplay

When I returned to the States, I only had a few days to rest. Then, I was off to Atlanta for the Coldplay show! What an amazing way to be welcome back home. Hands down: it was the best concert I had ever been to!

I bought this polish awhile ago when the neon trend had barely begun. I never used it until this occasion came around. Honestly, I probably won't use it again. It was too thin and too messy. Yeah, my nails were a wreck after my trip but this was ridiculous. I loved the color, it just wasn't up to my expectations. I have a neon pink china glaze that works a thousand times better.

Wide Awake - Katy Perry

I'm back from London! I had an absolutely incredible experience studying abroad. Bear with me while I continue to update my personal blog along with this one. I tried posting while over there but I didn't have reliable internet service in the dorms like I was promised. Anyway, I can post them all now! Here is something I tried to post the very first week in London:


Before I left I had a mini-shopping trip in Walmart. I stocked up on travel-sized items and couldn't resist picking up some nail polish also. It was an unnecessary purchase but the "new" sticker made it very necessary in my mind. I bought Sally Hansen's Magnetic Nail Polish in Polar Purple. I was skeptical at first but ended up loving it! The instructions were very clear and easy.

"STEP 1: Apply 1 coat of base coat. Shake Magnetic Nail Color to activate. Remove overcap with magnet and set aside. Apply 1 coat of Magnetic Nail Color to all 10 nails and let dry. 

STEP 2: Apply a thick second coat of color to 1 nail and immediately hold the built-in magnet over the nail. Rest the guide just below the cuticle without touching the wet nail polish. Hold for 10 seconds. Repeat for all 10 nails and let dry. Finish with top coat."

I had no problems at all and I loved the results.

Turn It Up - Holiday Parade

Happy Independence Day everyone!! I've been super busy lately as I'm sure the other girls have been as well but I wanted to post a quick mani that I did for the July 4th holiday!

I used Essence Hard To Resist and OPI Alpine Snow as the base. The stripes are OPI An Affair In Red Square with the stars being Zoya Trixie. The glitter is a mix of OPI Getting' Miss Piggy With It and Essie Set In Stone. Hope you like it!
