Nicole by OPI Others Pale by Kim-parison stamped

I have some simple stamping for you guys today. I did these a long time ago when my nails were SUPER short.

I started with two coats of Nicole by OPI Others Pale by Kim-parison.

Once that dried I stamped with Orly Glitz, which is my favorite gold stamping polish! I used Bundle Monster plate BM-201.

Valentine's Day Nails--Day 10

I busted out my nail art pens for today's look!

What I used:

Orly Prelude to a Kiss (2 coats)

Sally Hansen Ring-a-Ding! (2 coats)

Sally Hansen Nail art pen in gold

I loved how the gold looked with the peachiness of Prelude to a Kiss!

Valentine's Day Nails--Day 4

I'm really fond of today's nails!

How to achieve this look:

Three coats of Revlon Girly on my pointer and middle finger
Three coats of Orly Charged Up on my ring and pinky finger
Then I used Sally Hansen Presto Pink and Bundle Monster plate BM-202 to stamp over the purple


I hope you guys have been enjoying these designs....4 down, 10 more to go! :)

Orly Royal Navy

I found another oldie that I never posted! Look how long my nails used to be. I'm wishing they were like that right now, I have super short nails due to some peeling issues, currently...they're sooo weak :( !

 

This is 2-3 coats (can't remember exactly, oops!) of Orly Royal Navy. Man, it's freaking gorgeous.

I'm such a sucker for blue polishes, if you don't already know. I seriously want to buy every blue nail polish ever. But, that would be a little excessive. Or not, whatever.

 

I didn't buy this polish for the longest time and then I just bought it on a whim at Ulta a few months ago. I'm so glad I did! Even though I have lots of royal blue nail polishes like this, I don't have any that have this pretty shimmer in it.

 

Orly Right Amount of Evil with OPI and Cult Nails

Back when I bought Lightmare, I also picked up Orly Right Amount of Evil!

 

 

For this mani I did three coats of OPI Nicole Alert! on all my nails except for my ring finger. My ring finger is one coat of Cult Nails Nevermore. Then I did one coat of Orly Right Amount of Evil on top of each nail.

Right Amount of Evil is holographic hex and fine bar glitter all packed in an orangey clear base that has tons of orangey pink shimmer lol did I lose you there? Yea, it's kind of a lot to describe in one polish.

The only thing I'm disappointed by is that I was under the impression that the hex glitter was orange. But it's just the illusion of the bottle. All in all, though, I really like this glitter polish and what can I say, I'm a sucker for themes!

Avon Aqua Fantasy

A quick post and some simple nail art for you guys tonight! I'm super tired from spending my evening at Chuck E Cheese. That's correct, I said Chuck E Cheese. LOL! A close family friend of mine had his 52nd birthday today, and his friend decided to throw him a surprise party at Chuck E Cheese with a few close friends.

 

I had never been when I was little so I have to admit, I was super excited right off the bat. I am definitely a little kid at heart. Did I play the games, you ask? You bet your sweet ass I did! I mostly played Ski Ball and my mom whooped me at Air Hockey haha! One of the close friends that attended had a ten year old son and so all of the tickets everyone won tonight went to him. He got over 700 tickets to cash in at the end and it was so fun to see him so excited.

 

It has definitely been a great night and it also reminded me that you're never too old to do anything, no matter how silly it may seem!

 

Anyways! Onto the nails...

 

I started with one coat of Orly Dazzle and then waited for it to fully dry. Then I placed a piece of striping tape down the side of my nail and painted on a semi-thick coat of Avon Aqua Fantasy and removed the tape.

Aqua Fantasy is one of those blues that can be grouped in with the "Tiffany" blue polishes, like China Glaze For Audrey, etc. The thing that makes this polish slightly unique is that it had a pretty silver sheen to it. Not in a frosty sort of way, I would describe it as a pearly finish. It's super pretty!

 

 

I hope everyone has had as fun of a night as I have! See you in my next post :)

Dots, Dots, Dots!

Today's nails I did a while back, you'll notice in the pics that my nails are my old square shape. For some reason I never posted them! So, here they are today :)

 

 

I started with two coats of Cult Nails Manipulative

Then I did some random dots with Milani Orchidia

Next came dots of Nicole by OPI Others Pale by Kim-parison and Milani Beach Front.

The Beach Front dots aren't very noticeable.

Lastly, I added dots of Milani Mint Candy and Orly Dazzle!

 

I really loved the randomness of these nails and I want to try more designs like this with different color combos! 

80's Earrings nail art #1

Happy Tuesday, Everyone! This past weekend I went through and cleaned out my closets and I came across a box of old earrings that my Mom used to wear in the 80's. One of my first thoughts as I was looking through them was, "Oh my god, these would be awesome nail art inspiration!"

So, I picked out all the pairs that spoke to me and now I'll be featuring the nail art inspired by them here on my blog over the next few weeks! Fun right?!

This is the first pair that kind of "spoke" to me. I loved that they were triangle!

I started by using two coats of Others Pale by Kim-parison as my base.

To make the triangles I used my striping tape that I bought off ebay.

Then I painted one coat of Orly Glitz over the tape and removed the tape before the polish dried.

I continued to do that on all of my nails, one by one.

To complete the look of these nails I used my striping brush and painted some irregular ovals in the middle, just like the earrings have.

These were so fun to do and I can't wait to continue to show you guys the other earrings and nail art!! Judging by the ones I picked out from the box, my Mom was quite the fashionista!

Orly Prelude to a Kiss

The reason I bought this polish has a funny story:

During the Spring semester, in my Auditing class, there was a girl who sat in front of me and I would always notice her nails. One week she had on a really pretty light peach color and I wanted to ask her what polish it was so bad. Well, I didn't work up enough courage to ask her lol I didn't want to get a crazed look like "why are you staring at my nails during class?!"  lol

Anyways, I randomly mentioned it to my friend who sits next to me in that class and she saw the girls nails too! Thus, the search for that perfect peach began!

I thought maybe Essie A Crewed Interest would be a good fit, but then my cousin sent me a picture of her nails she did using Orly Prelude to a Kiss. I had to have it!

I went to Sally's one day and not only did I find Prelude to a Kiss, but it was on clearance for $3.99, wooo!

So here it is, the beautiful light peach that my friend and I lusted over!

This is two coats. In some lighting it looked like a light pink. But mostly it kept its soft peachy color. I just love it!

So, am I just a crazy nail stalker, or do you guys ever notice people's nails and then have to find out what they are wearing??

Sometimes I just don't ask because most people say things like "Oh, I don't remember" or they look at you like your stupid for asking the brand and the name of the polish.

Which reminds me, if you follow me on Instagram (prettylittlebottles), I reposted a hilarious picture from @yogabgaba that sums up that feeling:

hahhaha, so perfect!

Spreadin' the love Sundays!

I was sad that I missed this post last weekend so I made sure I had one put together for today!

Today I want to show some love to my oldest and best friend, Missy.  We have been best friends since we were in preschool. No matter how long we go without seeing each other, we both know we're always there for each other! As I also mentioned in my very first post she's the one who introduced me to this nail blogging world :)

When thinking of what reminded me of Missy, nail polish wise, I instantly thought of gold nail polish. Once when we were shopping she said to me, "I want to buy all the gold nail polishes in the world!" lol

So here are a few gold nail polishes I own that I thought she'd like :)

Orly Glitz. This two coats.

Sephora by OPI Rumba Romance. Three coats.

Hot Ticket Goldfinger. two coats.

Sally Hansen Gilty Pleasure (one of Missy's favs!). Two coats.

Milani Signature Gold. two coats.

Do any of you love gold nail polish? If so, tell me your favorites!

Artificial Sweetener

Today I have a polish from Orly's Spring 2012 line. My Aunt accidentally bought two of them so she let me have one, she's the best :) She loves nail polish just about as much as I do, so we feed each other's addictions lol!

Orly Artificial Sweetener. Two coats. It is so delicate and pretty. I'm really in love with it. It does have some subtle silver shimmer, but it's almost invisible. I really have to stare to see it.

I somehow misplaced my bottle, I may have left it at my Aunt's house, so I substituted my EOS smooth sphere for these pics. It's looking a little dingy because of being in my purse lol.

If you are loving these soft, pastel-like colors for spring like me, then you should run out and buy this one! I don't think you'll be disappointed! :)
