A Simple Day

Hey guys! I recently did my nails in a very simple but pretty way.
I love this combination, it's a very pretty berry color
with some berry colored glitter.

First I used my Nutra Nail Mineral Nail Care and massaged
it into my nails and cuticles. Then I added my usual
Maybelline Salon Expert Base Coat to prevent staining.
Then I added two coats of Borghese Nail Lacquer in
Berry Confezione. Once I let that dry I added one
coat of L.A. Colors nail glitter in Glistening Purple.
Then finally, just a coat my fav top coat Rimmel Lasting
Finish Pro, and that's it! Enjoy!!

More Glitter!

Once again more glitter! I looove glitter! Who doesn't?
Also I didn't have much time to do my nails so I went ahead
and did a quick and simple (yet pretty!) nail look.
I hate walking around with chipped nail polish or
even worse, no nail polish at all!

These are the products I used!
Before anything, I used my Nutra Nail Mineral nail care
 to help my nails from breaking and chipping.
I put some my nails and cuticles and massage it
into my nails for about 10 seconds.
As a base coat I used my Maybelline Salon Expert
Top & Base coat. I used Sinful colors in Easy Going,
this is one of my favorite Sinful Colors nail
polish, it's a very light baby pink and it's really
opaque in just one coat. Then I add my
favorite chunky glitter nail polish from
Milani in Gold. I have a lot of different
glitter nail polishes but this one is my fav!
Then I added my Maybelline Salon Expert
Top & Base coat as my top coat and viola!
I reeally love this look I hope you did too!!

XoXo,
Laura

Glitter, Glitter, Glitter!!!

Don't you just love glitter? I know i do!!!
I was actually in a hurry and I really didn't
have much time to do my nails but I would
never ever leave the house without doing my
nails! So I figured let me do them really
quick! I was just going to paint them black
but I had a few minutes to spare so I added
some gold glitter! Whenever I do my nails, I
feel so weird if I have one solid color. Like,
I feel like I can't stand out. So I always add
something to them. I love the way they came out.

Here are the colors I used! I used my Maybelline
Salon Expert base and top coat as a base coat, (usually
if I don't wear a base coat under a dark color
it'll stain my nails !) Then I used my Sinful
Colors nail polish in What's your name which is
a beautiful black, it has very fine blue, green, yellow
shimmers to it. Then I just some gold glitter from
Milani which is called Gold. Then I added a
topcoat and that's it!!

So I hope you guys enjoyed this nail post! Stay
tuned for more!

Girl Up!

Did you know that in many countries around
the world, 1 in 7 girls will be married against
her will before she turns 15?
Imagine yourself being 15 years old and being
forced into an arranged marriage, wouldn't
 that suck? When you're 15 you want to enjoy
 yourself and have fun with your friends and
 learn new things, but there are many girls
who don't get that option. When I was 15
I went to school, hung out with my friends
and I had a few chores around the house
but it was nothing major yet I still
complained. Little did I know that there were
(and still are!) so many girls in developing
countries who wished they had the life I did.
Some girls are sold to older gentlemen
by their parents and even by their siblings
for money. These girls have to give up on school
and their dreams just to help their families
or in some cases their new husbands...  
Some have to wake up extremely early
and walk long periods of time just to
get a bucket of water for their families
to drink. They have to take care of
their siblings, run errands,
make breakfast, sweep floors, wash
clothes and so much more. Since the
house work is so much for them they
have to give up school and their dreams
of being doctors, teachers and counselors.
Doesn't this seem unfair? Now imagine how they feel.
So join me in this fight to help stop this
madness. Go to Girlup .Org and sign up and
sign the petition. With your signature you can make
a huge difference! We're girls and we need to
protect each other!

Just like how GirlUp says
"We are strong, but together we are stronger"

Laura

NOTD! Peacock Inspired Nails


Don't you just love peacock feathers?
I know I do lol. I have shirts and earrings with
peackocks on them. So I figured since I love
peacock feathers so much, I'd try to draw
them on my nails! I think they came out
pretty decent lol. I copied the design from
some peacock earrings I recently bought
from Forever 21.
Here are the products I used: Rimmel Lasting Finish
Pro in Crystal Clear as my top coat.
Maybelline Salon Expert in Perfectly Clear as my
base coat. L.A Colors in BCC580 (a pretty turquoise), I used this to
make smaller dots in the gold dots.
Sally Hansen Hard As Nails in Emerald City,
I used this as the main nail base. Nicole
by O.P.I in The Next CEO, I used this one
to make the gold dots. 
L.A Colors in BCC566  (a pretty deep blue)
to make even smaller dots
within the turquoise.

So I hope you guys like this design
and try it out yourself. Let me know if
you did try it out and send me a picture.
Have a glamourous day!

NOTD!! Hello kitty nails!

Here's my attempt on creating Hello Kitty nails.
I know it's not perfect but I think I did a pretty decent
job for my first try lol! I was actually inspired by Kandee Johnson
her's are waaay better! And mine are a bit different lol.
Here's a picture of the products I used!
(Except for the rhinestones!!)
White of course to paint my entire nail, black nail striper
for the eyes and whiskers, yellow to make her cute
lil nose! Red for the bow and I added some red glitter
on the bow to make it cuter!
Here's a more detailed picture of the colors.
Rimmel top coat in Crystal clear, Pure ice in
Super Star, Revlon in Revlon Red, L.A Colors
art deco in Red Glitter, Kiss nail art striper in
Yellow and black!

So I hope you enjoyed this nail post! Like I said before
I'm not a professional. I just do this for fun!

Pilot lol!

Hey everyone! I just started this blog, I wanted a way to share my nail art designs with everyone. I know I may not be the best person to make designs but I try haha! Hopefully someone can find my blog useful, like if they can't decide on how to paint their nails that day, they might get an idea from my designs! Also, it's not going to be exactly about nails I'll add in a few other things like fashion and make up but the majority will be about nails!
