A Hint of Pink

This past week has been so stressful; i have an impromptu speech in class tomorrow and I'm not good at improvising! The dress attire is business type so I decided to take my Halloween nails off and go for something a bit more neutral and classy. Luckily I picked up this nail polish today from Old Navy while shopping for a shirt.

Tip Toe Nail Polish; color: "Ballerina"; $3.50
Note: The writing on the polish says Tip Toe, I just accidentally took a picture of the French side. ha


I usually have a problem with nail polishes that are this light but for some reason I really like how this looks. It is much more pink in person and the color just looks so delicate and feminine. The only downside is that it applies a bit opaque so you have to do about 2-3 coats before getting the actual color. I definitely need to go back and pick up some more colors, especially because they are so affordable.

Halloween Nails- Spider Webs and Bats

So I haven't been blogging for a while, I've been really busy with school, sports, and a new baby in the house! I'm going to try getting back to posting more often so here's a quick explanation on my black and white Halloween nails.


1. The first thing I did was start off with a top coat. Next I painted my ring fingers white and the rest black.

2. Next I used my nail stamping tool from Konad and image plate from Bundle Monster to stamp spiderwebs on all of my nails. I added an extra bat on my ring fingers.

3.End with your favorite top coat and you're done! Simple as that. 


***I also did my little cousin's nails.. she wanted candy corn fingers! :)

Painting little nails is so much harder than my own.. there's never enough room!
