Nude glitter tip nails

I wanted to wear colors that are more simple and business appropriate this week because I have some meetings to go to throughout the week.  I think this will pass as a cute, and also appropriate for those who work at a business setting and want to wear sparkling glitters.

 I have used Sally Hansen's maximum growth nourishing nail color.  It doesn't have a color name on the bottle, so I have no clue what it's called.  Maybe this is the only color they have! I don't know...
The glitter polish is the Sally Hansen's triple shine in dream sequins.  It's a very pretty and settle glitter polish that consists of orange-ish rose gold colored glitters.

Super simple, cute, and easy to achieve!

DIY glitter jewelry/ make up dish!

This DIY of glitter jewelry or make up dish is super easy!  I've been seeing this DIY all over the internet, so I decided to give it a shot.  It will definitely spice up your vanity, bathroom, or where ever you wish to place them.  They look fantastic anywhere!  I picked gold glitter for mine, but you can choose any color glitter for yours.

Materials: Elmer's liquid school glue
Mod Podge sealer
glitter of your choice
anything you want to put glitter on (plain dishes, glass bottles, etc)

Direction:
1. put a layer of Elmer's liquid school glue on the areas where you want to add glitter. I used a 1inch paint brush to make it easier and to make it even.
2. pour glitter over the areas you have put the glue on.
3. put more glue on to get the areas you didn't get the first time around.
4. apply a thin coat of mod podge over the glittered areas.
5. let this all dry, then reapply a layer of mid podge to prevent the glitters from getting everywhere.
Super easy, huh?  You should give it a try!

 I put my body sprays and perfumes on one and some of my face make up on the other, but these dishes would look fantastic as a jewelry dish.  Oh, by the way, the dishes I used are from Goodwill for 50cents :)

This is part of my bedside table.  I decided to use a Starbuck's coffee glass bottle as a flower vase.  You can spice up any cute glass bottle to use as a vase.
I hope you all give this a try!

Current nail base & top coat

Today, I'm going to share what I kind of nail products I use.  I don't think I've ever shared what I've been using as my base and top coat.
I actually like the base coat I'm currently using.  It's the Sally Hansen's complete salon manicure smooth and strong base coat.  It works pretty well; my nails feel pretty healthy.  My nails don't chip or anything, so I can't tell you if it helps prevent chipping.  Before this one, I was using the OPI base coat and I didn't like that one as much because it didn't make my nails smooth.  It basically didn't do anything for my nails.
For top coat, I am using candy coating from Urban Outfitters in lemon drop.  I bought this couple months back because I thought it was cool.  It's scented!!  It smells like lemon, like the name of the polish.  The scent lingers on your nails for about a day and sometimes, faint scent of lemon stays on the second day.  It does make your nails look pretty shiny.  I would not repurchase this product again because it claims that it dries clear, but it actually does not.  It leaves a slight yellow tint, which I hate!  The yellow tint changes the tone of the nail colors that I wear.  I'm going to finish using this because I don't want to waste it; I can't wait to finish using this stuff up.
The last step when I color my nails is to put on the dry kwik by Sally Hansen.  This thing really works!  The amount of time it takes to dry significantly reduces when I put this on.  I highly recommend this oil.  After you put this on and after your nail color dries, you can rub this into your cuticles.  I would definitely repurchase this one!

Dusty rose nails & rich bown with pearl rhinestone nails

Oh my!  It has been so so long since the last time I've blogged.  I have been so busy and tired from all of the holiday festivities and shopping.  Hehe...  I am finally back at my apartment and in school.  How sad the fun holidays are over.. :(  Now, I'm just looking forward to spring break!!
I have my nails to show from today and few weeks before.  I forgot to take pictures for all of the other weeks.  I promise I'll be posting weekly again :)

This one is the one I just painted; it's the color I will be wearing this week.  It is called am I making myself Claire? by nicole by OPI from the Modern Family collection.  It's such a pretty mauve rose or dusty rose color indoors, but outside, it looks more like a dusty lavender.  I'm so bad at describing colors...  I apologize.  It's a fun color to give a try if you're tired of the typical nude colors.  

This one, I wore few weeks back.  The rich brown with green undertone is called a-taupe the space needle from OPI.  I placed four light blue pearl stones on my ring fingers.
