Valentine's Day Nails Part II 2.13.14

So... Valentine's Day is only a day away and I felt I should share a few nail designs I did on my mom and sisters. I love the looks and they are all very different. I am not a nail expert nor a professional, but I try my best and I enjoy creating different looks.

Valentine's Day is about love and showing love for that special someone. Weather you have that someone or not I feel there's always a reason to show some love to yourself and give yourself a cute, fun, and flirty manicure. :-)


The first manicure I did was on my sister I felt like bringing out her glamorous side by creating a 50's inspire manicure. I felt red was completely perfect for the 50's look and adding rhinestones, faux pearls, and glitter as accents adds the glamor to the design.
 
 
*Red: Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Cherry Red White: Avon Nailwear Pro in French Tip White Silver glitter: Avon Brilliant Chrome loose glitter*
 
 
The second manicure I did was on my mom and first off may I just say she NEVER paints her nails nor does she ever let anyone do it so I felt pretty honored :-). Well back to the nails; she specifically requested to keep it simple, work appropriate, and not crazy. So for her Valentine's day nails I used a nude almost pale gray color and adding a rhinestone just to make it a little less basic. The single stone plays it up enough to make the design classy, yet a bit sassy.
 
 
*Nude: Revlon ColorStay in Bare Bones*
 
 
The third manicure I did was on my little sister. I felt she needed crazy, girly, and flirty nails. On one hand I added "I <3 U" with to pale pink nails with glitter on top. Then the other hand I just put a heart on the ring finger and adding glitter to a few nails and keeping the pinky pink to add a little dimension to the look. A lot is going on with this manicure, but I felt its a fun look and she is young so it works.
 
 
*Pink: Lime Crime in Parfait Day, Red: Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Cherry Red, Silver glitter: Avon Brilliant Chrome loose glitter*
 
I hope you enjoyed these different nail designs I plan in the future to be a little more detailed. I want to thank my mom, sister Ashley, and my little sister Andrea for letting me do their nails and take pictures. Also, I hope your decide to give yourself a well deserved "mani".
 
Happy Valentine's Day!!!
 
XOXO,
Yahya

N.O.T.D 10.23.12 & Review


OMG!!!

I did not expect such an amazing nail polish. This nail polish is called "Steal the Show" by Victoria Secret. This polish is amazing it have such a wonderful color pay off, and to be honest you only need to use one coat. Here I used 2 but I feel it is a rule to always do 2 coats no matter how pigmented they are.

 I guess you could almost say this is a mini review because this is the first time I ever tried Victoria Secret polishes. I love it and I should soon be purchasing more colors.

XOXO

Nail of the day 10.16.10


Zebra Print Nails are the Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips in "Wild Child" - These are so awesome they come in so many different designs and colors. They advertise that they should last up to 10 days. For me I am hard with my hands and always washing and cleaning so they lasted a good 5 days with minimal chipping. Oh and just so you know you may want to use a very good nail polish remover, because it took forever to remover.

As for the lavender color it is an Avon Nail Polish in "Loving Lavender" and on top is a glitter by China Glaze in "Fairy Dust".

This is a fun little twist to any outfit, and to be honest with you it kind of makes me happy to look at. :D

Nail of the Day 10.10.12



Today I seem to have been really wanting something super bright, because these colors are completely bold and fun. The greenish gold color is very unique and fun I like to see it as a mustard yellow with glitter. Now, the bronzish rose color is so pretty is cute especially paired with other colors.


Greenish Gold- O.P.I Nail Laquer in "Simply Smashing"

Bronzish Rose- AVON Nail Laquer in "Rave"

Nail of the Day 10.02.12

Today's I felt like being a little "Trendy", so I decided to paint my nails in a jewel tone color. So I decided on "Royal" number 730 by Revlon it is the top speed fast drying nail enamel. It's a beautiful blue color just like the name of it "Royal".

Ulta Haul...

Yesterday was such a wonderful day I went to church with my family and then we went to breakfast. Then went home, cleaned up a bit, took a mini nap, and went shopping with my mom and sisters. After a while my boyfriend picked me up and we to Ulta, he bought me a few items that I have been wanting to try from NYX Cosmetics and also a few nail polishes that I have been bugging him to get me since forever now.  :D I will soon be posting different looks on how you can put together different looks using these products.

I very rarely wear lipsticks but I have heard such good reviews about NYX lipsticks so I was willing to give them a try.
