Nail of the Day: Zoya Crystal

Today I'm wearing Crystal by Zoya, which is a metallic sky blue with gold flecks in it. I love my Zoya nail polishes because they are so opaque, shiny, long-lasting, and they are 3 free! 
Here are some pictures!

Nail of the Day: Cashmere Rain

Today I'm wearing Cashmere Rain, a metallic pink. I'm not exactly sure what brand this is, but on the bottom of the bottle, it says the brand is 'Skintimate'. But isn't that the brand that sells shaving cream? 
Natural Light - 2 coats

This color is a really pretty shade of pink! I don't own very many metallic polishes since I'm not a huge fan of them but I really like this color. This color is opaque, not thick or streaky.

Nail of the Day: Forever 21 Orange + E.L.F. Fuchsia

Today I'm wearing Orange by Forever21, and Fuchsia by E.L.F. Cosmetics. As I said in my last NOTD, I'm in love with painting my nails randomly. It's a good way to use up nail polishes since I rarely use the orange color because it doesn't looked good by itself. I was inspired by some roses that were growing in my backyard, so it made it nice combination. :) 
Here's some pictures:
Natural Lighting - 2 coats of each

Left Hand: 1st, 2nd, 5th finger is Fuchsia, 3rd, 4th finger is Orange
Right Hand: 1st, 2nd, 5th finger is Orange, 3rd, 4th finger is Fuchsia


Orange by Forever 21
To be honest, I think this orange is more mango toned than orange toned. 







Do you like this nail combination? Let me know! :) Do you have any suggestions?

Nail of the Day: Soothing Petals + Essie One Day Without Blues

Today I'm wearing two nail polishes, Soothing Petals by Skintimate (not exactly sure what brand... but that's what it says on the bottom of the polish!) and One Day Without Blues by Essie. Both were limited edition colors, so unfortunately you can't get them anymore, but I'm sure you can find dupes for them! :)
I wanted to try a new and random type of combination to paint my nails, so I decided to paint the blue nail polish on the 5th and 4th finger and the pink nail polish on the 3rd, 2nd, and 1st finger. On the other hand, it was reversed, so my 5th and 4th finger were pink and my 3rd, 2nd, and 1st finger were blue. To be honest, I really like this style because I can use 2 nail polishes and because it's different than just putting one accent nail.
Enough rambling... here are a few pictures!

one day without blues by essie
I absolutely love this color, it has a pretty gold sheen to it. I got this nail polish from a TOMS event on Facebook last year for free. :)
(by the way, sorry about the lighting in this picture!! it was super cloudy outside)
soothing petals by Skintimate
I mentioned before in my NOTD post a few months ago, NOTD: Soothing Petals, that this bottle looks similar an Essie nail polish, so here's the comparison! Please check out my NOTD for this nail polish for a more in-depth "review".
I love these types of "random" combinations, I will definitely be doing more in the future!!

Nail of the Day: Julep Anne + E.L.F. Fire Coral

Today I'm wearing a combination of Julep's Anne, and E.L.F.'s Fire Coral. I LOVE Fire Coral, it's a trendy color for the spring and really adds a pop of color. Anne is a straight up grape purple. It's a pretty color, but the application was horrible. :( Lucy actually did a video review on Julep Maven so here's the link to that: http://neonrouge37.blogspot.com/2012/01/julepcom-box-review.html

Natural Lighting - 2 Coats of Fire Coral, 1 Coat of Anne
FLASH - 2 Coats of Fire Coral, 1 Coat of Anne
Not gonna lie, I hated Anne's application because it was very thick and gloopy (if that's even a word). 
Fire Coral's application was a slightly thick but I think it's because I've had it for over a year.

Even though the application kinda sucked, I LOVED this combination.

Nail of the Day: Forever21 Light Mint & Gold Glitter

Today I'm wearing 2 nails polishes from Forever21. There's no specific name for them, but one is a Light Mint color, and on top of that, is a Gold Glitter. The Light Mint is streaky but it's a very pretty color. I love the gold glitter because you can wear it over any polish, and I love the color gold. :)
Here are the pictures! 
Natural Lighting - 3 coats Light Mint, 1 coat Gold Glitter



This combination of colors is super cute and girly! :)
