Salon Effects Review

Bought the New Sally Hansen Salon effects, they have really cool patterns for a quick manicure. But I found it to be a little pricey for $8 (call me cheap but that's a little too much.) It was a bit difficult to find the right size for my nails. It felt like i was putting on stickers and it only lasted about one day. Then it kept peeling and falling off. They take the fun out of a manicure I prefer doing it the old fashion way.

'Insalata di Frutta' was done with different shimmering polishes and these adorable decorative fruits.

Midnight Roses

Midnight Roses was the first design in which i did Roses.

My Life Saver

I'm not a Justin Bieber fan one bit! But when i heard OPI was coming up with 'The Lonely Girl' Collection I was ecstatic the colors are wonderful specially 'My LifeSaver' which is the only color i own so far.

Since the color is so beautiful on it's own, I didn't want to do much to it.

A Nail Polish Story

Hello and welcome to my official nail blog. I will be posting my latest nail designs which i intend to do at least once a week. My nail themes and inspirations are random, occasionally I will try to do themes according to special occasions or holidays.  I will also post just about anything that has to do with nail polish.

I'm completely self taught i love experimenting with colors, patterns and designs. Any brand of nail polish works with me but my favorite's are Opi.

My passion for nail polish started when i was in elementary I remember begging my mom for those books that use to come with 6 kids polishes (the non-toxic peel one's)  and had step by step on doing a lady bug, flower etc...... 

But i never got the damn book but she started buying me real polish and I would just paint my nails with wacky colors and would dread painting my right hand lol.

I continued my passion all through middle school and high school when i reached college it was once in a while. But since i have been recovering from my Thyroid Cancer surgery i have begun to do it as a way to escape my stress and depression. My nail art has become my main hobby and i plan to further it by going to school to get my nail technician license. 

Anyways I hope you enjoy all the designs i plan to do.

I want to thank everyone who has ever given me a nail polish as a gift and my sister Andrea for coming up with the creative tittle for the blog.
