Top 5 Nail Polishes for Summer

Hiya everyone!
I'm here today to tell you about my top 5 nail polishes for summer! These polishes are my favorites for this season, let's get into it!


1) Essie's First Timer- This polish is gorgeous. Perfect neon mint green! As soon as I seen this I knew I had to have it. I think this is on my nails more than any other polish.

2) OPI's Gargantuan Green Grape- I love this color and you'd think from the name that it would be a purple or a green but no it's a baby blue. Other than the strange name this is a beautiful Tiffany blue mail polish. 

3) Sinful Colors' Skylark- I don't own a ton of sinful colors but when I seen this at Walgreens I grabbed it because I honestly don't have another color like it in my collection. It's a beautiful pastel orange.

4) Dior Nail Glow- This gives your nails a perfect pink sheer glow. I love this. Yes it's a bit pricey but it's 100% worth it. 

5)OPI's Planks A Lot- I love this color it's a perfect lavender purple for summer plus it's from the pirates of the Caribbean collection. 

Thanks for reading I hope you enjoyed!

Nail Of The Day - Mermaid Manicure

Hiya Guys! These are my nails today! I used Essie's Feed Me as a base coat, one coat of LVX Cerulean, on my ring finger as an accent nail, I used Sweet Dreams from the Selena Gomez Collection by Nicole By OPI. I topped all my nails off with Orly's Sec N' Dry. I love how this turned out and feel like its my "mermaid" manicure!

Get Nails like Selena Gomez!

Hiya Everyone!
Today I am going to show you a nail look and a polish dupe! I love Selena Gomez and look to her as a fashion icon and fashion inspiration. As my fashion icon, I don't just notice fashion, I notice nails. Her nails are always flawless and perfect even if they are just one simple color like I am showing everyone today. The photo below shows Selena and an Essie polish in Fun in the Gondola on her nails.

 
This is a beautiful polish and the color looks stunning on her but Essie polishes can get a bit pricey if you want to buy more than one!(7.99 each) I found a Wet N' Wild dupe for this polish!(1.79 each) The pictures look a little off but when swatched side by side these polishes are nearly identical. The polish is Candy-licious from the Megalast line from Wet N' Wild and it is pictured in the top left corner below.
 
 
It is a gorgeous color and perfect for spring and summer! I recommend all of the Wet N' Wild Megalast Polishes, they are amazing.
 
Also as a side note If you don't already know Selena Gomez has her own nail polish line with Nicole by OPI. All of the polishes are beautiful in her line, I own a few of them myself, they are all pictured in the ad below, Thanks for reading!

Daily Nails

Hiya Everybody! These are my first attempt ever at zebra nails and I kinda think I failed. I used OPI's Start to Finish as a base coat and followed with two coats of Essie's Fiji. Next I made my wacky zebra stripes with a purple nail striper from Stripe Rite then I used one coat of Jessica Cosmetics Starry Night and topped it all off with Orly's Sec N Dry. Please excuse the messy nails as I said I failed at this but I thought I'd share my experience! Thanks for reading!

Mini Makeup Haul

Hiya Everybody! I stopped by a discounted store today and they had alot of makeup to pick and sort through. They get their products from stores either going out of business or discontinued or overstocked products. They were extremely discounted and I think I found a few treasures and there is one I was extremely excited about. So lets get into my Mini Haul..


The first thing I picked up that I was happy about was the Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder in translucent. This costs 5.49 at my local Walmart and I paid only 1.99. I have been wanting to try this powder so look out for a review soon!
The next thing was the Wet and Wild Idol Eyes Creme Eyeshadow Pencils, I was suprised to find two of these in the massive bins of makeup they had to choose from. I got them in the shade Distress, which is like a royal blue color, and the shade Techno, which is a beautiful purple color. These were regular price at 99 cents each but I was happy to find them because I cannot find them at any stores around me. These may be discontinued but I am not sure. I swatched them in the car and they are super creamy and pigmented, I love them already.
Next, was the Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Eyeliner in Brown. I have been looking for a brown eyeliner and I was excited to find it in a gel formula. I am really looking forward to trying this out. Thr original price on this was 7.99 and I paid only .99 cents.
Last but not least were the two nail polishes that I picked up, one from Essie and one from Orly.
The Essie polish I picked up is in the shade Fiji and its a very light baby pink and as soon as I seen it I fell in love.  You can get this for 4.80 on Amazon but I picked it up for .99 cents. This was the only Essie polish in the entire store and I also picked up the only Orly polish in the entire store. You could say I was very excited to pick up this next polish because I have been looking for it FOREVER.
The polish I picked up from Orly is in the shade Gumdrop and it is a very minty green color.  You can get this for 5.65 on Amazon and I almost ordered it yesterday but I am glad I didn't because I picked it up today for 1.99! I hope you enjoyed reading about my mini haul! Thanks for stopping by!
