NOTD: Easter Nails Pt 3! Chicks with a twist :)

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyy guys!

This is a quick easter NOTD that I did last week.
I wanted to do chicks with bunny ears, hahaha. I don't really like how they came out, but that's okay. They were a little rushed, and it just didn't beat the bunny nails that I did a while ago.
My cuticles are actually terrible in this picture, but I had no time to moisturize because I was actually on a boat at the time (random, I know).
HERE IT IS!..
       PRODUCTS USED:
  • Nicole By OPI - "Baby" Blue (Base)
  • A Random Yellow (Chick)
  • Art Deco Black (Eyes)
  • Art Deco White (Ears)
  • Avon - Cotton Candy (Inside Ears)
  • A Random Orange (Beak)

And on a very very sad note, I completely demolished one of my nails. It made a very clean break... Want to have a look? It might be painful to look at...  SO DEPRESSING!!!!
I know, I'm dramatic, but now I don't have pretty nails!!
Oh, a bit of this break was caused by moving around lots of merchandise at my work today, but the finale was when i was tapping my hands/fingers on my steering wheel while listening to music... that's when the real damage happened.
I really need to file it down, which means the other will probably be going too.

Thanks for listening to my ramblings, haha. I'm probably going to do another NOTD tonight... I'll keep you guys posted!

FOTD: St. Paddy's Day Edition!

My first face of the day post!

I'm already going to make excuses, I could NOT, for the the life of me, get a good picture! I tried my camera, phone, photobooth, everything and the one posted was the only semi-decent one. It isn't true to colour, it was more lime green with a deep forest green and black in the crease and outer corner. So here's the picture and a list of products I used!

Face Products
L'Oreal True Match Super Blendable in C1 Alabaster
MAC Studio Sculpt concealer in NC15
MAC Mineral Skin Finish Natural in  Light
MAC blush Tenderling as contour
MAC Mineral Skin Finish in Triple Fusion (discontinued) as a highlight
Benefit's Dandelion blush
MAC Fix+

Eye Products
Mica Bella in Daydream on inner corner and highlight
Mica Bella in Iridescence over outer three quarters of lid
Sigma's Lady Jane in outer corner and crease
Merle Norman's Matte Black in outer corner
Estee Lauder pencil liner in Soft Smudge Black 
Shiseido Fine Eyeliner pen in Black
Cover Girl's Lash Blast Fusion in Very Black

I'm also wearing Avon's lip conditioner in clear... I'm not a big gloss or lipstick person... unless it's red!
Let me know what you think, or if you have any questions, leave a comment! I'm pretty green (haha) when it comes to FOTD's, feedback is welcome!

NOTD: Under The Sea

Hello hello hello!

So today I took advantage of having the day off work and did some nail art. It's actually for a nail comp. and the theme was "under the sea". I think that they turned out pretty nice, although next time I think I would do a different base, China Glaze's Atlantis maybe? My base was CG's For Audrey, with two coats of Revlon's Galaxy, along with another two coats of La Colors teal glitter on top of that.
The colour was beautiful, it's just that it pulled soooo much, so I had a bit of visible nail :(.

Here are the colours used to create this look:
  • CG - For Audrey (base)
  •  LA Colours Art Deco - Teal Gitter (base)
  • Revlon - Galaxy (base)
  • SH Insta Dri - Whirlwind White (under most colours)
  • Avon Nailwear Pro - Sunshine (sand)
  • Gosh - Flamingo (fish)
  • Nicole by OPI - you're an angel (fish)
  • Nicole by OPI - fresh squeezed (fish and coral)
  • Nicole by OPI - yellow, it's me - matte (seaweed)
  • SH Insta-Dri - Lickety Split Lime
  • la colours - baby pink, fun in the sun (both mixed together with SH whirlwind white) (jelly fish)
  • Nicole by OPI - I'm a Belieber (jelly fish)
  • Seche Vite

If you didn't notice, I didn't use a base coat with this design. I usually use OPI's nail envy, but I recently ran out.

I think i'm ready for a change.. What base coat do you recommend??
