Independently Cute

So, yeah. It was 4th of July, and my phalanges (nurse talk) and I had to celebrate..in style!!

Le Fleur de Tiffany & Co.

It's pretty safe to say that I love flowers. Hellooo? Almost all of my mani's have flowers in them. I guess I enjoy recreating floral nail art, but I promise this one wont look like Kim Kardashian's hideous dress.  Well, without further ado (drum roll), here's this week's floral mani...

Black & White Nail Gala

I have done this nail art many times before, usually with a variety of color schemes, however, this  particular manicure screams: You are one fancy bitch! LOL! I loved the way this mani came out! For the accent finger,  I used silver beads on the center of the flowers, and that gave my nails a whole new dimension of fabulousness. It was such a fabulous combination, that all my co-workers kept stopping me when they took notice of my manicure.

Ah, what the heck.. Time to post some nail art.

Last week I ended up my favorite nail polish place and scooped up Essie's new collection.
In addition to my nail polish shopping, that same day, I received the nail strips that I had ordered from Amazon.  I saw the nail strips on a nail tutorial video on YouTube (sorry, dont have the link), and thought they were cool to have.

So off I went to play with my new colors and tools.....and I came up with this:

RSVP

 My birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks, and I decided that the best way to pre-celebrate was to buy something(s) for myself.  But with 2 hours to spare before going to work, if I had plans of doing any sort of damage, I needed to act pronto. I decided to head out to my fav place, and got a couple of nail polishes, nail art brushes and a King Kong size of Seche Vite. Yes, you've read right, King Kong size. It's so huge, that I couldn't stop staring at it. I was all smiles, but truthfully, this was just the beginning of my soon to be wonderful day. When I got home, mom needed to get a couple of things for her trip and being the good daughter that I am, I decided to join her.  As we got to the store, she headed to the travel section and I flew to where else?  Nail Polish-ville!!(as if I need to expand my polish collection anymore) When I got there, I saw this beautiful purple bottle burried inside a basket with other polishes, it stood out amongst all the other colors and that was enough to make it a part of my growing familia.

Take a look:

The polish is from Sally Hansen's Diamond Strength collection and the name is, Save The Date. This enamel is a rich shimmery purple, similar to the color of  red wine. In the sun, it's absolutely gorgeous, you can see the shimmer come to life. I found the consistency to be more on the thick side for some reason, but a couple drops of thinner should take care of that. I am glad I found this beauty. It was destined for me to have this polish as a part of my pre-birthday purchase. I've already received tons of compliments. Now, my nails and I can be fierce and fabulous as we celebrate my birthday!

At the end, I decided to add a touch of fancy-ness by adding rhinestones in a shape of a flower. Cute huh?

Base Coat: Essie Protein - 1 coat
Polish: Save The Date - 2 coats
Top Coat: Seche Vite - 1 coat

Lazy Manicures

Who wouldn't want to have a fabulous mani in 5 minutes? I believe all of us do.That is why I would like to present this mani that one of my best friend did during one of her lazy moods. Now, this mani has a little bit of her personality. I am always joking with her on how lazy she is and that this is why she loves using these Sally Hansen's nail polish strips. LOL The coolest thing about this product is that you do not have to go through all the steps that are involved in a regular mani (i.e basecoat, polish, dry topcoat and sitting still for the next hour). The application is simple and easy from what she tells me, and I believe her because the one thing this girl doesn't like is, strenuous activity

Here are several pics of her lazy manis...

So, if you're ever in a lazy mood and are in dire need of a fabulous mani, make sure to give these stickers a try!

Have a fabulous and fierce day!
