<br />
It's been so long. I hope you've been well. I've been awfully busy that I've hardly had time to do my nails :(<br />
<br />
Fortunately, with the little amount of time I did have, I had great products to try from <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/" target="_blank">Born Pretty Store</a>! Alice had kindly sent me <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/tribal-pattern-water-decals-nail-stickers-p-21576.html" target="_blank">tribal water decals</a> a while back and they were perfect!<br />
<br />

It is important to note that the base of the water decal is solid white, not the usual transparent base. The decals, as always, were so easy to use. Although I only had the design on one nail, it was very eye-catching and I received a lot of compliments on it! :) <br />

The studs are a bit big for my nail but they're still so pretty! :D There is a pearl in the middle of the gold, metal flower petals. <br />

The stud is the bigger white stud on my nail. Not the best photo but the stud is beautiful! The stud sits very comfortably on the nail and looks amazing!<br />

<br />
It's almost been a month, I hope you all have been well! Today, I want to share with you a mani I did with <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/1box-silver-champagne-glitter-powder-multisize-shiny-powder-sheets-tips-nail-decoration-p-18872.html" target="_blank">loose champagne glitters</a> that I received from <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/" target="_blank">Born Pretty Store</a>!<br />
<br />

This is the #6 loose glitters. It comes in a twist top container as pictured above.<br />
<br />

To do my nails, I simply painted a clear coat of nail polish on my nails and before the polish dried, I quickly dipped my nail into the container of glitters. I repeated that twice and then sealed with a thick coat of top coat. <br />
<br />
The pictures do not do justice!! The glitters are soooo sparkly and I could not keep my eyes off of my nails! :D<br />

<br />
I figured that since my galaxy nails never turn out well, why not order galaxy nail wraps? hahaha :D They are easy to apply as well as to take off. I received so many compliments on my nails while wearing these! :D<br />

<br />
Today, I have a review to share! <br />
<br />
I recently received <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/5pcs-mini-starfish-nail-decoration-metal-metal-studs-p-20116.html" target="_blank">gold starfish studs</a> from <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/" target="_blank">Born Pretty Store</a>. <br />
<br />

And with the studs, I recreated the infamous beach mani~ The studs are the perfect size! The backs are flat so they lay on the nail comfortably. I also used the <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/20pcs-3mm5mm-shiny-mini-metal-shell-design-stud-nail-decoration-p-10181.html" target="_blank">3mm silver seashell studs</a> that I got from BPS, as well as pearls. <br />
<br />
I quite like this mani! :D So bright and summer! :)<br />
<br />
By the way, I just created an Instagram account specifically for my nails, please feel free to follow -- <a href="https://instagram.com/katrinasnailblog/" target="_blank">@katrinasnailblog</a> :)<br />

My boyfriend said he would help me find inspiration for my mani by sending pictures to be inspired by. Of course, he loves fishing so he sent me pictures of fishing lures :D<br />

A random skittle mani using the 2-in-1 nail art pen & nail polishes that my (ex) boss got me. The lines aren’t all that clean but it’s not too bad considering the “pen” doesn’t have a brush as the tip.<br />

<br />
<a href="http://www.livelovepolish.com/" target="_blank">Live Love Polish</a> recently sent me two <a href="http://www.livelovepolish.com/collections/seche" target="_blank">Seche</a> goodies; a bottle of Seche <a href="http://www.livelovepolish.com/products/seche-opulent-nail-polish" target="_blank"><b>Opulent</b></a> and the ever so famous <a href="http://www.livelovepolish.com/collections/seche/products/seche-seche-vite-dry-topcoat" target="_blank"><b>Seche Vite Top Coat</b></a>~ <br />
<br />
<img src="https://31.media.tumblr.com/7185d801b4ce4f60a2f919a84cb5c08b/tumblr_inline_nitffvFPkx1qhsbpb.png"><br />
This is two coats of Seche <b><a href="http://www.livelovepolish.com/products/seche-opulent-nail-polish" target="_blank">Opulent</a></b>, a beautiful raspberry cream. In some lightings, this polish leans more raspberry, in others, it leans a little bit more raspberry-red, as shown below. <br />
<br />
<img src="https://31.media.tumblr.com/4de731c99c58a2cbfad118c157782723/tumblr_inline_nitfg6kHNd1qhsbpb.png"><br />
With flash, <b>Opulent</b> looks a bit more raspberry-red. <br />
<br />
The two photos shown above were layered with one coat of <a href="http://www.livelovepolish.com/collections/seche/products/seche-seche-vite-dry-topcoat" target="_blank"><b>Seche Vite Top Coat</b></a>. So shiny and glossy! 8) Of course, this top coat dries super fast! This is my first time using the Seche Vite top coat in almost three years. When I first got into nail art (almost FIVE years ago! ah!), this was my go-to top coat! Unfortunately, when I would get about half-way with the bottle, it would usually causes shrinkage on my manis so I stopped using the Seche Vite top coat. I'm not sure if it would still do the same thing now, but it's definitely a good top coat.<br />
<br />

I whipped up this fair isle print mani up this morning (yes, this is my current mani! :D) using the brushes that were sent to me. My accent nail was inspired by <a href="http://instagram.com/coewless/" target="_blank">coewless</a> and <a href="http://instagram.com/mikamlaus/" target="_blank">mikamlau</a>.

This aztec-y mani was inspired by <a href="http://instagram.com/heynicenails" target="_blank">heynicenails</a>. I used Floss Gloss <b>Con Limon</b> as base. <br />

I went to a Pistons game back in March and was planning on doing a Pistons themed mani … but then I ran out of time. So it looks like I was sporting a ‘Merica mani … hahaha<br />
<br />
And that sums up March 2014.<br />
<br />
Hope you all had a great weekend and great Thanksgiving! <br />

I'm back with another post of my past manis! Here's what I was sporting back in February :)<br />
<br />

This <a href="http://katrinasnailblog.blogspot.com/2014/02/stone-stud-mani.html" target="_blank">Stone Stud mani</a> was one of my first manis back in February.<br />
<br />

Glitter half-moons! ... uhm, not sure what polishes I used here. But my top coat smudged my polish T_T<br />
<br />

And probably my favorite of the month, this zig zag (chevron) mani that was inspired by my phone case. Again, not sure which polishes I used here.<br />
<br />
That sums up my manis from February. I'll be back with my March manis soon :)<br />
<br />
Hope you have a great Monday and week~<br />

<br />
Still trying to finish up on posting all my manis ... so here is another post combining all the manis I did earlier this year in January~<br />
<br />
<img src="http://40.media.tumblr.com/e38e90c711bb458aaa3650343db9154c/tumblr_mz2a3sJY2o1qiaoh3o1_500.jpg"><br />
I honestly cannot recall what the name of this Orly polish is ... x_x But bits and pieces of this mani were inspired by <a href="http://instagram.com/ninanailedit" target="_blank">Nina</a> of Nina Nailed It.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://41.media.tumblr.com/92f858ade1d0a7dd04a35bb3f1d9b740/tumblr_mzbhwzDr8R1qiaoh3o1_500.jpg"><br />
I ended up switching my nail shape to squovals and went with Serum No5’s <b>Friendly Tiff</b>s and <b>Girl’s BFF</b> for this mani.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://40.media.tumblr.com/6b61234f13c1e6c55c6e694f291b2117/tumblr_mziysdRdeB1qiaoh3o1_500.jpg"><br />
Terrible florals, haha. <br />
<br />

I really don't like it that these are called "negative space" nails. wth. I just really like designs and the fact that there's no base color~ Copped the middle finger design from <a href="http://instagram.com/ninanailedit" target="_blank">Nina</a> :D I’m not really into nail stripers … but SERIOUSLY, I love these Orly Instant Artist Water-Based Paint Strippers!<br />
<br />

I ended up putting Salon Perfect “floam” polish, <b>Kaboom</b>, over my previous mani, making my nails look so ... thick & full of polish -_-<br />
<br />
<img src="http://40.media.tumblr.com/d9d7f6102f338348d34e297e47199164/tumblr_n047vxfkFF1qiaoh3o1_500.jpg"><br />
I wore this adorable mani in January also, and had previously made a post about it <a href="http://katrinasnailblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Nail%20Art%20Society" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />

Closing off my January 2014 manis, I have this one which was inspired by <a href="http://instagram.com/maya_tempaku" target="_blank">maya_tempaku</a>. <br />
<br />
Wheph! That's more than I remember but hey, now they're all posted, yay!<br />
<br />
Hope your week has been going well~<br />
Have a good one!,<br />

<br />
It's almost been a year since I've done these manis but I haven't had time to post them ... so to catch up on it, I decided to just do a post joining all of the manis I did (and haven't posted) from last December (2013).<br />
<br />
<img src="http://41.media.tumblr.com/acaab075341a060130517fcadfa5b76d/tumblr_mxbde5xoEu1qiaoh3o1_500.jpg"><br />
This mani was done early last December. Not sure what polishes were used here ...<br />
<br />
<img src="http://36.media.tumblr.com/eafccfe783029cf2962a9be6c0105e5d/tumblr_mxwlyzbFPG1qiaoh3o1_500.jpg"><br />
This is Serum No5’s <b>Snow In Love</b>, LOVE IT! It's perfect for winter and it glows sooo beautifully! <br />
<br />
<img src="http://40.media.tumblr.com/d88dd6267b0e95c5183d0984f17147a5/tumblr_my459oIlQE1qiaoh3o1_500.jpg"><br />
(OMG, this is so messy, I can't believe it! -_-) Essie’s <b>Van D’Go</b> and Serum No5’s <b>Girl’s Gotta Eat</b>.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://41.media.tumblr.com/60fae3d4c1d3a2f68fe13b5f43f4c1a6/tumblr_mwupfeqZJI1qiaoh3o1_500.jpg"><br />
Ok, this one was from late November of last year but I'm just going to add it to this post too. Serum No5’s <b>Gild Free</b>, ivory base with multi-sized gold glitters & holo glitters, and <b>Friendly Tiffs</b>,a beautiful pastel blue creme with blue microglitters & some-frickin-beautiful-shimmer-that-I-cannot-put-into-words.<br />
<br />
And in case you're wondering, this was <a href="http://katrinasnailblog.blogspot.com/2013/12/christmas-glitter-sandwich-mani.html" target="_blank">the mani</a> that I was sporting during Christmas 2013.<br />
<br />
I still have lots of manis to catch up on posting ... but at least I'm done with the 2013 manis :D<br />
<br />
Have a good one!,<br />

<br />
This mani was done almost a year ago when I went to a Pistons vs Bulls game. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Derrick Rose <3 He's probably my favorite-est basketball player so of course, I had to do a mani inspired by him~ :)
<img src="http://41.media.tumblr.com/e2dee5c6904843e50460c51252957a10/tumblr_mwwmiy23UP1qiaoh3o1_500.jpg"><br />
The mani consists of the Bulls colors, red, black, and white; his number, 1; the D Rose logo; and the Bulls logo.<br />
<br />
Hopefully I'll be able to catch a few games this season :)<br />
<br />
Have a good one!,<br />
