NOTD: Essie - Bikini So Teeny

Hey loves! Today I have another polish to show you from the Essie Summer 2012 collection. This light blue polish is called Bikini So Teeny. It is such a pretty blue with subtle shimmer in the bottle...too bad it didn't really translate on the nail. :( Like most of the Essie's I own...I had a little bit of trouble applying this polish but it could just be that I have large nail beds and the brush is so tiny? Not sure, either way the polish is gorgeous!

Hola chicas! Ahora les tengo otro esmalte de la colleccion Summer 2012 de Essie en el color Bikini So Teeny. No se porque la mayoría de mis Essie's, incluyendo este color, me dan problemas cuando me los pongo...talvez es porque la brocha es bien chiquita y mis uñas son largas? No estoy segura, igual...el color esta muy bonito! :)

Essie - Bikini So Teeny, 3 coats/capas.

and I decided I hated how thick and gross it looked (even though I loved the color!) so I stamped it with Essie - Blue Rhapsody (Using a BM plate) and added black dots with a dotting tool.

At the end of it all I still thought it looked messy and took it right off lol. Bad nail day!

Okay girlies...off to do some house work before I paint my nails again. lol :) Thanks for reading! xoxo

NOTD x 2!

Hey there! Today I have a super quick post because I'm getting ready to head to bed (I pulled an all-nighter...again lol) but didn't want to do so without first showing you guys something! So here we go...

Hola! Ahora les tengo un post super corto porque en unos minutos me voy para la camita a dormir! No pude dormir en toda la noche por estar viendo videos en el internet jaja pero hoy si me retiro! Pero primero...los NOTD!

First up is Essie - Mojito Madness, 2 coats/capas.

and with glitter...OPI - Fresh Frog of Bel Air

and an old pink NOTD for BCA, China Glaze - Dance Baby:

Hope you all have a wonderful Monday! <3

Some past NOTD's

Hi all! How are you guys doing? Great, I hope! :) Today I have two past NOTD's to show you. I never got around to uploading them because every now and then I go out of town and I just got back in today. I decided to take a break from getting stuff put away to upload :) So here we go...

Hola chicas! Como están? Espero muy bien! :) Ahora les tengo dos NOTD's. Pase los últimos tres días fuera de mi casa pero ya volví y decidí dejar de guardar mis cosas para mientras para enseñarles esto! :)

My first jelly sandwich ever! New York Summer - Hot Atomic Red with OPI - Gettin' Miss Piggy With It layered in. (Decided to add a layer of Gettin' Miss Piggy With It at the end...wish I hadn't, but it still looked cool! Can't wait to try this again!)

and a not so pretty nail art. Got bored and drew some random lines with acrylic paint. This is 2 coats of Essie - Tart Deco.

Thanks for reading! <3

Polish Days: Geometry

Hi girls! So I decided to join the Polish Days group! I figured it would be a good way to motivate myself to do a little more nail art. (I have tons of nail art stuff I never use!) Sadly...I totally thought the day to post was today, Sept. 5th and it turns out it was due yesterday! Ugh. Horrible way to start.

It's okay though - I made a simple design and I'm posting it today and that's all that matters! So yesterday's Polish Day was supposed to be geometry themed. I could not come up with something more creative for the life of me...so I asked the SO for some help for the accent nail and the rest was just random placement of colors sectioned off with acrylic paint.

Hola! Espero se encuentren bien! :) Hace unas semanas atrás decidí ser parte del grupo Polish Days con la idea de motivarme a usar mis cosas que tengo para hacer nail art. Pense que el dia para actualizar era ahora pero parece que fue ayer! :( Esta bien...por lo menos logre hacer un diseño simple y se los estoy enseñado ahora! :) El tema esta vez fue geometría. Espero que les guste!

Here is my base color which was Essie - Play Date, 2 coats.

 

And then my random design. The black is one by Rimmel and the sparkly stuff is Holo Chrome by Kleancolor. The lines and accent nail were done with acrylic paint.

Thanks for stopping by! // Gracias por leerme! :)

I have tons of NOTDS.../Tengo muchos NOTDS...

I just don't know why I never post them! :( Anyway, there is no excuse. I must try harder! :)

This is my current mani, 2 coats of Essie Sexy Divide, with purple holographic-ish hexagonal glitter which I put on my nails individually! It did take quite a bit of time but it was so worth it! Now I don't even want to take it off. :) [Inspired by the awesome Sammy @ the Nailasaurus]

Pero no se porque nunca los pongo en mi blog! :( La verdad, no hay escusas. Tengo que tratar de dedicar mas tiempo aqui. :)

Esta es la manicura que traigo hoy. Son dos capas de Essie Sexy Divide con un glitter morado que compre hace tiempo en una tienda aqui por mi casa. :

 
Thanks for stopping by! / Gracias por leerme! :)

A few from when I was gone...

     Good morning lovelies! These are just a few mani's I did while I was away. :)

     Buenos días! Estos son unos manis que me hace unos días atrás.

I really loved how this looked in real life! / Este mani me gusto mucho!

Essie - Jackie Oh, 2 coats/2 capas (which I got for 2 bucks at Ulta!/lo compre por $2 en Ulta), stamps and tips w/ Color Club - Masquerading. LA Colors Art Pens - Black for the designs. Poshe top coat.

EDIT: Tips inspired by this tutorial I found a while back: For Audrey French Tips by TheQueenEileen

China Glaze - Techno Teal, 2 coats/2 capas.

LA Colors Art Pens - Black, Gold Glitter, Blue Glitter. Poshe top coat.

     Now I'm going to finish up the last few episodes of Prison Break and polish my nails for later today! Going out on a special date. :)

     Ahorita voy a terminar los últimos episodios de Prison Break y a pintarme las unas para mas noche porque voy a salir a celebrar un día especial!

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
