Mint Pearls

Hello all! I adventured into the world of detailing with nail gems today, for the first time ever. I'm pretty excited, even though a tiny part of me is thinking that maybe it's more trouble than it's worth. (Then again, if I ever listened tot hat thought, my nails would be naked all the time!

I'm not sure fi I'd call this mod, but it's something similar.

I used the little Kiss kit of "Nail and Body Gems" That you can get at any CVS or Walgreens, just a silly little $3 deal that I picked up to give it a shot. It comes with a decent selection. little bows in green and blue, pink and purple diamons, loits of silvers, and these lovely little pearls! (If you don't know me, I'm obsessed with anything pearl.) I used Sally Hanson's Mint Sorbet and the white is Finger Paints, but I'm too lazy to go get it to tell you what it's called. 

Overall, I think it went pretty well! I did them around 1, it's 9 now and none of them have fallen off yet, even through giving my sister a bath and typing this blog. Mission accomplished.

As a bonus, I did somethign I never ever do- matched my toes.

DO ignore the fact that I took this in between cleaning up my fingers and my toes. Just one pearl on my toes, because I'm afraid that one'll fall off pretty soon, given my strappy sandal tendencies. 

Anywho, thanks for stopping by!

Just wanted to let you guys know!

Thanks for stopping by, loves!

Ulta Haul and some new glitter!

Hello loves! 

Yesterday I went to Ulta for the first time, and don't you judge me for waiting so long. I probably spent too much money, but it's so glorious in there, and they had such lovely sales! Anyway I now have 154 points on my card, so yay for $3 off my next purchase!

I'll show you all my goodies!

I considered posting individual pictures, but seeing as this post is already far too long, i'll just let you zoom.

I got a little bit of everything, and I'm trying them as fast as I can. Here's my first two looks:

I call this one dinosaur eggs.

The colors are Essie's a cut above, and essence color&go's nude it.

I couldn't wait to do another mani with all my lovely new colors, so I did another one this morning. Very simple, but fun!

Cina glaze's Optical Illusion. It's stunning. I mean, I'm madly in love with it, I just want you to know.

JUST LOOK AT IT.

Also, bonus, I picked up these wonderful little q-tips, and they're absolutely perfect for cleaning up edges.

They're flat on one end, and pointy on the other. Perfecto.

I can't wait to bring you guys some more manis!

Thanks for stopping by!
