Haul: Target, Forever 21, CVS

In the process of moving, I seem to have lost the charger for my camera! Luckily my phone takes some decent pictures with the help of photoshop.

Best Friend's Prom Makeup & Nails


Meet Christine, one of my best friends! We pretty much grew up together. She's a pretty girl but she always refused to let me put makeup on her haha. That's why I was super excited when she told me that I could help her get ready for prom! I did her makeup and nails while our other friend did her hair.

I used china glaze innocence, china glaze love letters, & sinful colors snow me white

Another spring color :) This is 2 coats. Soul mate is really creamy and opaque.

Sinful Colors: Mint Apple


Finally jumped on the minty-green polish bandwagon. This is 2 coats. Loveee it! Especially since it only costs $1.99. As you can see, it has tiny shimmers too. Sinful colors might be my favorite drugstore polishes. They have such a wide range of colors at cheap prices.

China Glaze Wild Mink + Konad



China Glaze in "Wild Mink." I know I've posted this before, but I think this is a better picture. This is probably my favorite nail polish. It's the one I use the most. I reach for this so much because application is so easy.



I was playing around with the Konad nail art kit. I used white for the design and added a shimmery pink top coat. The pinky nail design smeared! I'm still trying to get the hang of it, but it's really cool.

NOTD: Orange Blossom




Love My Nails - Orange Blossom

A bright peachy-pink shade with golden shimmer. It leans more towards peach, almost like a light coral. Really pretty color.

Application was okay, but not as nice as the Raspberry color I wore last week. This one felt kind of thin so it took 3 coats to make it look nice and opaque. Not bad for $1 though. I found this brand at Walmart.

Nails: China Glaze Fifth Avenue



China Glaze polish in "Fifth Avenue"

I was rushing the day I put this on, so I only put one coat and it's really opaque. It's a pink-brown shade, good if you want something girly yet muted. It looks more brown than this in real life.



This is when the self timer on my camera comes in handy, haha. I thought it came out cute.

Nails: China Glaze Shower Together



Today I'm wearing China Glaze nail polish in "shower together." It's a really deep yet bright blue shade. A dramatic polish, but really pretty.

Sorry my nails are so funny looking. I used to have a bad habit of biting my nails. I don't do it anymore but they still grow out weird.

Nails: China Glaze VIII



China Glaze polish in the shade "VIII." It's a super dark purple color.

Only a tiny bit of chipping at the tips of my nails. This picture was taken a week after application. Not bad, right? $3.25 at Sally Beauty Supply with a sally's card.

China Glaze

I decided to buy some China Glaze nail polishes one day when they were on sale for Buy 2 get 1 free. I loveeee them. They go on so nicely. No streaks, and the polish lasted on my nails for over a week. I need to get more. Normally they are around $6. But if you buy them with a Sally card, they're only about $3. I need to go get a Sally card soon!

Sinful Colors: Dancing Nails

I'm loving the brand of nail polish SINFUL COLORS. They're sold at Walgreens for only $1.99. Sometimes they even go on sale, 2 for $2.00, making each bottle $1! I'm currently wearing a new shade I picked up the other day, called Dancing Nails. It's like a shimmery burgundy type shade that looks pink in the light. So pretty.
