Art Deco pens!

     I always love checking out the dollar stores for nail polish and I came across some LA Colors nail polish and art deco pens! :) I picked up a few of each and played around with them and this was the result:

Spanish:

     Siempre me gusta pasar por las dollar stores a ver si tienen esmaltes y esta ultima vez que fui encontre varios esmaltes de LA colors y unos que son de brocha fina para decorar. Me puse a jugar con los esmaltes y este fue el resultado:

L.A. Colors - Fuel, 3 coats w/ Poshe top coat / 3 capas con Poshe top coat

L.A. Colors Art Deco - Intense Pink, Black, Yellow 

     This was my first time ever free-handing a design on my nails...it wasn't too hard but then again my design is a bit craptastic and simple! lol I think I need to free-hand a little bit more, I really had fun doing this!

     Esta fue mi primera vez haciendo esto...me gustaría practicar un poco mas y comprar mas colores y brochas! Me divertí mucho pintándome estos diseños!

Went to Ulta the other day and...

     I ended up with new polishes! :) I walked in looking for something that was sheer and milky in color and I found this polish sitting in the clearance section...and for $2 or $3 I couldn't really leave it behind. (Not to mention I didn't own any Essie polishes prior to this one!)

Spanish:

     Hace unos días fui a Ulta en busca de un esmalte claro como para usar en un french manicure y cuando pase por la sección de cosas rebajadas encontré este esmalte por $2 o $3. A ese precio se me hizo difícil no traérmelo y encima de eso seria mi primer esmalte de Essie.

Essie - Cool Lots, 5 coats w/ Poshe top coat / 5 capas con Poshe top coat

     I loved the jelly-like finish on this polish but that was about it! I don't usually like doing anything more than 2 coats so you can only imagine how I felt about having to do five. On top of that, the color only looked nice in the sunlight, otherwise it seriously wasn't noticeable. Not worth the trouble imo.

     Me gusto mucho como se miraba este color en la luz y que era un esmalte jelly pero al contrario no pierdan su tiempo con este color! Cinco capas para que se mirara mas o menos no vale la pena. :( Con razón lo tenían en oferta! jajaja


Hope you all have a wonderful day! <3
Gracias por leer! Espero que tengan buen dia! <3

A slightly long but tragic post...

     I'm going to keep this short since I'm going to spam you all with pictures of Hyper Haute from China Glaze's Tronica collection. :)
     It seemed like most people were totally disappointed with this collection because they were expecting more holo, but I actually liked it! Yes, it would have been nice to have some OMG like holo but these are just so pretty and shiny! Take a look:

Spanish:
     No las quiero entretener mucho con lo que tengo que decir porque les voy a enseñar un montón de fotos de Hyper Haute de la colección Tronica que saco hace poco China Glaze.
     Parece ser que a mucha gente no le gustaron mucho los esmaltes que salieron con Tronica porque no son verdaderos holos como los que salieron con OMG pero a mi si! Se ven super bonitos en el sol y brillan como no se dan una idea! Miren: 

China Glaze: Hyper Haute, 2 coats w/ Poshe top coat / 2 capas con Poshe top coat

     And now for the tragedy...I am totally in love with this polish as you can probably tell. But after wearing this for just a few hours and a shower...

     Estoy loca por este esmalte! No pude dejar de verme las uñas durante el día. Pero después de bañarme y unas horas mas tarde...

     Look at how horribly this polish peeled on me. I haven't had this issue since I was using Seche Vite as my top coat! (Another product I absolutely love but does not work with me.) For reference, I use Sally Hansen's Double Duty for a base and Poshe top coat. I haven't really had any problems with this combo until I used it with Tronica polishes. Do any of you have these and are they giving you trouble? :( Maybe I need a new base coat...

     Miren como se me despego el esmalte! No e tenido este problema desde que usaba Seche Vite! (Seche Vite es otro producto que me encanta pero no me funciona muy bien.) Para referencia, uso Sally Hansen's Double Duty como base y Poshe para mi top coat. Nunca había tenido problemas con esta combinación hasta ahora. Tal vez necesito una base nueva. Alguna de ustedes tienen estos esmaltes? Les han dado el mismo problema?

Anyway...hope you all have a lovely Friday! :)
Espero que tengan un feliz Viernes! :)

Busy week!

     Hello lovelies! :) It's been nearly a week since I was last able to update my blog...sorry! Unfortunately I was super busy dealing with a ton of things such as helping my sister move in to my house and going out to eat, movies and lots of shopping (not to mention I spent several days waiting to get a little sunshine so I could rock my Tronica polishes!) And even though I didn't get around to updating on here...I did take some pictures for you all! <3

Spanish:
     Hola! :) Ya casi tenia una semana sin actualizar mi blog...discúlpenme! Estuve super ocupada ayudando a mi hermana mudarse de su casa a la mía y no digamos todas las veces que sali de compras y a comer toda esta semana! Pase mas tiempo en la calle que en casa! Jajaja Pero aunque me desaparecí por aquí me asegure de tomar unas cuantas fotos para ustedes! <3

China Glaze: Flip Flop Fantasy, 2 coats w/ Black Mesh + Poshe top coat/ 2 capas con Black Mesh + Poshe top coat

 Zoya: Kelly, 2 coats w/ Poshe top coat / 2 capas con Poshe top coat

China Glaze: Below Deck, 2 coats w/ Poshe top coat / 2 capas con Poshe top coat

Then I added a few designs using both Konad and Bundle Monster plates:

Despues decidí ponerle unos diseños usando los platillos de Konad y Bundle Monster:

Hope you all have a great Tuesday!
Espero que tengan un feliz Martes!

Still no sun...

     Hello! How are you all today? So I've been waiting for the sun to come out with no luck. :( Until then...here is one of my favorite nail polishes. I wore this color on Valentine's Day. Sooo pretty.

Spanish:
     Hola! Como están? Me la e pasado esperando que salga el sol pero no e tenido suerte. :( Para mientras los dejo con unos de mis favoritos esmaltes. Me puse este color para el día del amor y la amistad. Se miraba taaaan bonito.

Color Club - Red Velvet. 2 coats w/ Poshe top coat / 2 capas con Poshe top coat

     And for good measure...another random mani I found on my camera pre-blog. Color Club's Worth the Risque. I had such a hard time trying to get the holo to show so I will definitely have to re-swatch this.

     Y esta es otra foto que tome antes que tuviera mi blog. Este color es Worth the Risque de Color Club. Por mas que trate, no pude hacer que se mirara bien en la foto.

I've been busy working on my blog's look. I hope to have that up and running asap. 

Estoy trabajando en el look de mi blog. Espero terminarlo lo antes posible.

Welcome to the new followers!

     Before I begin...I want to give a huge thanks to the wonderful Nihrida for giving me the opportunity to share my blog through her's. [Check out her "Promote Your Blog" post to check out other awesome/new blogs!] With that said, WELCOME to my new followers! :)
     Today I have a mani that I did a few days ago using China Glaze's Re-fresh mint. I really wanted to start showing you all my newly acquired goodies but I need it to be sunny out to make it worthwhile. (hint hint) :) Hopefully tomorrow!

Spanish:
     Antes que nada...Quiero darle las gracias a Nihrida por darme la oportunidad de promover mi blog a través de su blog. [Si quieren ver mas blogs, algunos de ellos nuevos como el mio, haz clic aqui.] Y con eso dicho quiero darle una bienvenida a mis nuevos seguidores! :)
     Ahora les tengo un mani que me hice hace unos días atrás usando el color Re-fresh mint de China Glaze. Tenia muchas ganas de enseñarles mis nuevos esmaltes pero necesito que salgue el sol! (Creo que con eso se pueden dar una idea de lo que compre :) ) Esperemos que mañana se pueda!

And then I decided to add a bundle monster design using China Glaze's Metallic Muse:

Luego decidí ponerle un diseño usando los platillos de bundle monster usando el color Metallic Muse de China Glaze:

Sea Spray!

I finally got around to using Sea Spray! It's such a pretty color...it reminds me of the sky on a rainy/cloudy day. :) (I think I'll be reaching for this quite a bit). I did find this a little hard to apply as it seemed runny yet thick? gloopy? I don't know...it just wasn't an easy application for me and went on a little bit weird on the nail, not something a little Seche Vite can't fix though. :)

Spanish:
Al fin pude usar Sea Spray! Me encanta este color aunque si me recuerda de un día nublado. Se me hizo un poco difícil ponerme este esmalte pero aun así creo que lo usare seguido!

China Glaze - Sea Spray, 2 coats w/ Poshe top coat / 2 capas con Poshe top coat

Then I decided to add a design from the bundle monster plates using China Glaze Hi-Tek.

Luego decidí ponerme un diseño usando los platillos de bundle monster con un color dorado de China Glaze que se llama Hi-Tek. 

Sorry for all the pictures...it just looked so pretty in person. lol :) (Oh, and excuse my gross skin!)
Disculpen por el montón de fotos! La combinación se miraba tan bonita en persona :)
