I rarely use base coats because I'm a lazy person, and I don'y really believe in quick dry either. I just don't understand how it can make your polish dry faster! Is anyone on the same page as me? 

But I decided to give them another whirl because I was in the mood to do a little fix up after I decided to peel my acrylics off...Ouchie

I also don't really pay attention to seasonal colors, I think that all colors can we worn year round paired with the right thing. I went with a deep blue because I thought it would glisten in the sunlight and I was just in a very blue mood.

What colors do you have on your fingers? 

Revlon Raven Red Nail Polish - 721

This color by Revlon has seriously stuck around in my nail polish collection forever! It's a really nice cranberry red color, I have no idea why it's called Raven Red... I do well with applying 2 coats of this polish then apply a top coat to make it extra shiny. The lasting power isn't too bad, 3-5 days and then i'll notice chipping.

Whats your favorite red nail polish color?

American Apparel Wishlist

Another Wishlist! I have SO many of these coming your way. I legitimately get so hyped up by things I see on Tumblr or on store websites. One of my favorite stores is American Apparel but I only really love the store because of their amazing nail lacquers! Here are a few things I want to purchase this year from AA.

1. Nail lacquer

I've always been a huge fan of the nail lacquer from AA. All you really need is one coat because they are opaque as can be! I believe the bottles hold more nail polish then an OPI and their color range is just amazing. They have recently added Neon, Sheer, and Metallic lines of lacquers and I am SO excited to collect more!

2. Viscose shawl cardigan

This shawl cardigan looks like the perfect throw for a breezy summer day. I would want to purchase the white/grey color because it would match to any summer outfit and it also looks like a super cosy material 

3. Beanie

I own a beanie from TNA but this one is just so much cuter! I think the pom pom would suite the Fall/Winter months better but I would want a black or red one for summer time to make an outfit more grunge or edgy. And would look great with winged eyeliner, I think!

4. 3D flower mesh jumper

I've had my eye on this jumper for a really long time now. It comes in a variety of colors, white, black, purple, rose, and light blue, (maybe more). Lana Del Rey is sporting it in the photo above, and I think it would look gorgeous with light blue jeans or a black skater skirt.

What do you wish for from AA?

Mint sorbet

I've had this polish for quite some time and i'll usually wear it throughout Spring and Summer. I thought it looked sad and lonely sitting in my drawer so I took it out and used it! Although it isn't quite a Winter looking color, does it really matter if I love the color?! Haha! :p

Review: Ciate Sequin Manicure Kit

I recently tried out the Ciate Sequin Nail Manicure that I received as a birthday present. It comes with a pot of glitter sequins, a brush to remove excess sequins and the top coat/glue. So basically it turned out better then I had expected, thought I do need to perfect my technique because there was SUCH a crazy amount of glitter on my nails. It lasted for about 5 days before I saw major chipping, which is really really good! There are so many types of designs and ways to use these sequins (using a few or making cool shapes).

You could easily go to Micheals or any other craft store and purchase more glitter/sequins or what ever pleases you, and go to the drugstore and buy a super awesome topcoat and get the same effect for possibily a cheaper price. I'll possibly be purchasing different glitters and textures to do a similar look so keep your eyes pealed for that!

Have you ever tried anything like this with your nails? If so, how did you do it?!
