NOTD - Skittles!

Just a quick post, I'm leaving for the day very soon, but I was really happy with how this mani turned out, so I thought I would share! Skittling is one of my favourite things to do with my nails. Today I used different hues of blue. :) On my index finger, I accidentally bumped it, so there's a little indent, but I didn't have time to fix it, oh welll


On my index finger I used my franken I made as a dupe for OPI's What's With the Cattitude?, on my middle finger and thumb I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear, Pacific Blue. My ring finger is Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear, Blue Me Away!, and my pinky finger is OPI No Room for the Blues.
I love how this turned out :) Sorry for the crap picture, and obvious no clean-up, I'm in a bit of a rush. That's all for now, hope you enjoyed!

Do you guys like skittling? What are your favourite colours to use?
Have a great day!

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Blue Me Away!

And, it did just that. I love this colour. Blue Me Away! is the perfect blue shade. It always reminds me of the beach. The formula on this, however, did not "blow me away". No matter how many times I tried, it bubbled EVERY DAMN TIME. And, even with a base coat, it still stained my nails. Not impressed. It wouldn't be worth it if I didn't love this colour so much. Cremes are my absolute favourite as well, and this was opaque in just 2 coats.

I notice my pinkies always look awkward in my photos. It makes me laugh!

Also, just so you all know, I am moving away for school in 3 days (it's 12:01am right now, so yes 3 days!), so I am trying to swatch all of my polishes I own (a nearly impossible task seeing as how I have so. freaking. many!) because I don't know how often I will be able to get good pictures seeing as how I live in a dorm on the sixth floor. I'll try my hardest though! I am beyond excited, and I think it's showing. I can't get to sleep anytime before 2:30am these days! So stressed/nervous/excited/sad/happy at the same time!

That's all for now :) Have an awesome night, fellow bloggers!

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Mellow Yellow

Happy evening, all! Tonight I'm late on posting, but I got back from R's late. I have a really summery colour for you guys. I'm trying to get all of my summer colours up before summer is over (which is really soon, boo!).
So tonight I have Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Mellow Yellow. As is with all yellows, this was one streaky, pain in the rear. Eventually it evened out after 3 coats. I wanted to like this colour. I really did.. but I didn't. It was all wrong for my skintone, it was too bright, and I couldn't help but feel disgusted with my nails. They just felt, well, dirty. :( It's still a lovely colour.. just not for me!


This was in the shade. I find it looks better in the shade, but this is not how the colour really is.

Even in this picture, it still doesn't capture how damn bright it really is.


Do any of you fellow bloggers like Mellow Yellow? What about other polishes from the Xtreme Wear line?

Have a great night!

Nicole by OPI - Play Fair

Hey all :),

Tonight I have a very nice, lavender colour to share with you guys. It's from Nicole by OPI (a brand I personally love, despite all the haters out there!). This colour is very sheer, and took about four coats to get a nice opaque colour. Very pretty, and shimmery. I wear it when I need something nice and neutral, but still pretty.

natural light; 4 coats.


shade, no flash; 4 coats.

That's it for tonight :) I'm gone to R's house for the night tomorrow, so I won't get a chance to blog, but I have many more swatches lined up for you guys to see when I return!

Have a great night :)
