Little Things - One Direction

Hey guys! Short post for yall today. Did a simple mani for a concert last month. It was boys like girls, all American rejects, and parachute. It was super fun!

I used fast track by China glaze as the main color. Its such an amazing color. Tan with goldish green flakies. It is perfect for fall.  The pale pink is by color club, as is the glitter. I am in love with the accent nails.

Have yall heard the new one direction album yet?? this song was written by Ed sheeran, my fave. How do yall like it??

Want U Back - Cher Lloyd

hi guys!!!

Sorry i havent posted in OVER a week. im horrible, right? its okay though. i have a bunch of pictures of a mint green/ leopard mani i did a few days ago.

I had bought this Essie polish a few weeks ago and had never had the chance to use it, but i had been thinking of doing another animal print mani for a while and thought that a mint accent nail would be soooo cute. i really love the colors together.

I used only dotting tools to make the leopard design, they arent the best ive done but they still look good enough. hehe All of the colors used for the leopard are color club.

The picture below is with no flash, you can really see how mint the essie polish is. LOVE.

anyway, i have something exciting to tell you.... yesterday i got to meet CHER LLOYD. yes, i love her. she is the cutest little brit girl and she is going to be HUGE. her music is just fun. ill post the picture whenever the radio station posts it. she covered OMG by user and it was perfect! so fun.

I have been slacking majorly lately so I figured that I'd do a huge picture spam of all my recent manis that I have done but haven't had time to blog about. So onto the pics!

Heavy - Lauri Ylönen

"It's heavy 
but you are not the only one 
who's tired of giving 
afraid of the oblivion 
Could it be that your curse is a bliss? 
But the weight of the world never felt this heavy "

I am so still loving this song even after listening to it A LOT over the past year. The lyrics, the music & Lauri's voice are just amazing. If you've ever seen Lauri, you'll know why I chose one of his songs as the title for this feather mani. He's a bird! LOL :)

Anyway, On to the nails! 

This week I decided to do feather nails! I haven't done these in a while & the first time I did them I followed Summer's tutorial!! They turned out fabulous!  (Of Course!)

I found some pink & turquoise feathers at Hobby Lobby a while back. I didn't just want to put them on a nude background so I used Fly by O.P.I. from their Nicki Minaj Collection & a pink from the Color Club All About Color Collection. (I have looked everywhere & I can't find the name of any of these colors). I of course followed that with Sally Hansen's Hard As Nails top coat & a coat of Seche Vite Rapid Dry Top Coat.

 I did this mani on Sunday & I just took it off tonight. They held up really well even after all the abuse I put them through this week! I hope you all had a great week!! :)

Hey guys! Its me, Summer.

I have for you.... a cupcake mani! Haha okay, okay its really just a glitter sandwhich... but it looks like cupcake frosting... or maybe I'm crazy.

I saw something with this color combo on a blog.... months ago.. and I loved it.. so.. I recreated! (If this was your mani first.. msg me and ill link u)

The thing I love about glitter sandwhiches is that its so understated.. yet fun. Who doesn't love a chunky, multi colored glitter? Normally if you were to wear a nude polish, with a chunky glitter, it would harshly contrast and look a little mis matched.. but when you layer another coat of the sheer polish over top of the glitter.. it mutes the harshness. Love it!

What do y'all think? Btw fashion week is so soon! Yesss!

Seventeen - Stars Go Dim

Well, I went to the Stars Go Dim concert.. they were playing with A Rotterdam November.. I was SO excited for this... i thought there would be a lot more people there... but it like a kick back.. not even a concert. it was such a sit down atmosphere.. i was disappointed. BUTTTT the highlight of the night didnt come from either of those bands.

But before i get into that.. ill show u the nails that i wore to the concert :)

it sort of looks like pond water with algae growing on top. but i like it. hahaha the glitter is just wayyy more amazing that u would think. Its Call You Later by Sinful Colors.. its a bronzey green glitter. i mean... i cant even explain how much i love it. and for .99c?? u cant beat it. yyaaaa likkkee???? But the best part of the night was definitely when a couple of friends from Tulsa (who also like SGD) told me to go up to "Mike Left" and say YEAHHAHAHAHAHHAHH.. which of course i did.. and then they told me to ask him to sing. ANDDDD with little effort.. i convinced him to. He is actually super good. obviously. ANNND you should like him on facebook. k? CLICK! Here are a few shots of the bands... this is Stars Go Dim. It was such an intimate performance.. and by intimate.. i mean like.... 30 people. i was into it.

This is A Rotterdam November.. i was suprised by them too... super good. Brittany and i talked to the guitarist guy for like.. 30 minutes after. evidently he eats fish balls?? hahah jk. but u can check them out toooooo. PS - the guitarists guys name is Dylan - like die-lan. i like it. and doesnt he look like Mac Hanson? yes.

Bad News Baby - Josiah Lemming (feather nails!)

Hey kids! smeee again, Summer. I have for youuuu a FEATHER NAIL TUTORIAL!!!!!

uhm, HELLERRRRRR - do u SEEE this mani? IN LOVE. Its a total feather mani - I saw this on tumblr and decided that I should try.

Not to Toot my own horn or anything, but i like mine BETTER than that one. (toot toot) But maybe thats because its my mani. hahaha...

This is everything that I used for the mani. I bought the pack of feathers at hobby lobby for like... 1.49 and it was enough for 50 manis. Im not sure what color club color this is.. but its basically my new favsies. its my perfect nude polish. ANYWAY.. here is how I did this mani

• Paint every nail with your base color.
• WHILE the polish is still tacky - take the feather and lay it down gently onto the nail, and easily press the sides down so that the feather is laying completely flat. leave the extra hanging over the edge. Repeat on all nails
• Let dry, then trim the extra feather off of your nails. If any extra strands of feathers are loose, dont worry.. we will hold those down in a sec!
• After trimming all the excess feather - paint a clear coat over your nails - I used a thick coat of sally hansen hard as nails (yes i know this is a hardener - but it makes my nails super shiny)
• Take a Fast drying top coat and put it on top to seal everything in (optional) I used color club 0-60 top coat because its my faveee

Here is a close up of the thumb - It just looks so perfect. I loooveeeee it. Im probably gonna do this again for Nashville Fashion Week this year..

SO pretty I cant even look at it. omg.

Yeah this is a weird angle.... but i just cant stop looking at my fingers! loveeeeeee
