Salon Perfect Naked Nutrients Collection

Hello everyone!

Today I have a big swatch and review for you all, of the Naked Nutrients Collection from Salon Perfect! They were kind enough to send it to me, and I tried all 8 of them. They are available at Walmart stores for $3.98 each, which is such a great price!

The Naked Nutrients polishes have a keratin treatment in the polish to strengthen your nails as well as having long lasting color.

My Prom Nails! :)

Hello everyone,

So a few weeks ago, I had my Senior Prom! And if you noticed that I haven't posted in a week and a half, it's because I've been so busy with prom, going for a weekend away, and finishing up my Senior Year! Only a week and a half until I graduate from high school :)

For my Senior Prom, I really wanted a dress that was different. I always tend to gravitate towards blues, white, and nude colors. Never anything really out there. But since I have red hair, green is always a great color for me. I decided that I wanted my Senior Prom dress to be emerald green! After searching through tons of stores, I found this Jovani one in the perfect color. I really love it!

To match my dress, I painted my nails with Salon Perfect "Escape to Neverland" with a Starrily "Ultima" glitter gradient on the tips of my nails to tie in the sparkly beading on the bodice. The green polish looks lighter than the dress in this lighting, but in person the color was almost a perfect match!

I thought that it might be fun to share my prom nails with you all, and I hope you enjoyed this quick little post! :)

Love,

Neon Gradient X Nails

Hello everyone!

Today I have a very colorful, neon nail design. It's perfect for the warm, bright summer weather we're having right now :)

I really wanted to do a design with the gorgeous new polishes from Salon Perfect's Neon Pop! Collection that they very kindly sent me. There are so many of those polishes, so I didn't use all of them, but I chose three of my favorites from it. I really love this color combo! :)

Green Chevron & Decal Nails | Born Pretty Store Review

Hello everyone!

Today I have another design using water decals from Born Pretty Store. If you've been following my blog for a while you will know that I love to use these... they are so easy and I love all of the patterns they come in!

I didn't want you guys to get bored of them, though, so I tried to do something different when using these decals. I'm not sure if I am completely happy with how it turned out, but I hope that you guys like them! :)

Neon Dry Brush Aztec Nails

Hello everyone!

Today, I'm sharing a bit of a nail fail. I wanted to put a different twist on the dry brush style by combining it with the Tetris nail vinyls from Snail Vinyls! The lines didn't come out very well so I added the gold edge, but even then I don't think that it looks great. Still, I thought that I would share this mani with you all. 

Daisy and Watermarble Nails

Hello everyone!

You might remember from my last blog post that I tried to do a watermarble design, and failed. But I haven't given up yet! I recently received this 3D daisy stud from Born Pretty Store and the first nail idea that came to my mind was a green watermarble under it to resemble the pattern of a leaf.

I was really determined to do this look, so even though the idea of watermarbling was sickening, I tried my hand at the technique... And I finally had some success!!!

Wave Gradient Nails using Snail Vinyls

Hello everyone!

Can you tell I'm in a summery mood? Haha last week I did a mermaid scale design, and now I have this wave design! I used the beach wave nail vinyls from Snail Vinyls to create this design!

St. Patrick's Day Glitter Gradient with Salon Perfect "Luck of the Irish"

Hello everyone!

I've had a total nail blogger fail, not to mention a total Irish-girl fail... I had absolutely no nail art for St. Patrick's Day! My nails weren't even painted green yesterday!

Luckily, I came home from school yesterday afternoon to some St. Patrick's nail mail from Salon Perfect. I wish I could have gotten it sooner, so I could have had time to swatch them all and write a full blog post for you, but I just couldn't get a whole collection review up in a few hours!

I think I will still be reviewing the collection, but it will be up later. Sorry again for not having these polishes for a St. Patrick's Day swatch spam!

This is a glitter topper from the collection, appropriately named "Luck of the Irish"! It's a fun, glittery polish (gold hex glitter with gold but mostly green micro-glitter) in a clear base.

Halloween Watermarble Nails

Okay, I'll admit it. I consider these to be a bit of a nail fail. Especially the index finger.... *sigh* I hate when I have an awesome idea that I've envisioned in my head and then when I try it for real it is a mess. 

But anyway, I did this design as a fun alternative to all the drip nails, zombie nails, and cute Halloween characters that I've been seeing a lot. I really wanted to do those manis because I love them, but I also wanted to try something a little different. I decided to do a white to orange gradient with a black and clear watermarble over it.

Salon Perfect "Wicked" Swatch and Review

Hello everyone!

Sorry for not posting for a few weeks; October has been a little busier for me and I have had less time to do my nails. I still have been doing some Halloween art, though! :) I actually painted 10 pumpkins for my local Harvest Festival, and they took up a lot of my free time.

Anyway, last week I received some nail mail from Salon Perfect with some Halloween polishes! One of them was "Wicked" and it really caught my interest.

"Wicked" is a spook-tacular glitter polish with very fine green, black and white glitters in a very slightly green jelly base. If you put this over white, I think the jelly would add a faint green tinge to the white, so that is why I don't consider it a clear base.

70's Inspired Zebra Print Mani

Hello everyone! I'm back with another mani using polishes from the Salon Perfect "Top of the Class" collection; this time from the 70's portion of it!

The 70's part of the collection is called "70's Disco Divas" and it lives up to its decade with lots of color and glitter. The polishes I received were "Disco Ballin'", "Foxy Lady", and "Disco Diva". 

The polishes I used in this mani were "Disco Ballin'" and "Foxy Lady". I also used Salon Perfect "Sugar Cube" for a white base color, and finished the mani with the Salon Perfect Crystal Clear Top Coat. The zebra stripes were painted with black acrylic paint and a small brush.

Ariana Grande 60's Inspired Nails

Hi everyone!

A few days ago Salon Perfect sent me some of their polishes from their new collection called "Top of the Class"! The collection is divided into 3 parts that were each inspired by a different decade: the 60's, 70's, and 80's.

60's: "Nailed by the Mod Squad"
70's: "70's Disco Divas"
80's: "Totally 80's"

The first polish that really inspired me is part of the 60's "Nailed by the Mod Squad" section. It is called "Spot On" which is a topper with black and white circular glitters. 

The first thing that popped into my head when I saw it was, "Wow, that really reminds me of Ariana Grande's "Problem" music video..." And from there I did this design inspired by the outfits and backgrounds in the music video.

Hello everyone!

So a few weeks ago, Salon Perfect sent me their newest collection, "Paint the Town Red, White, and Blue"! The collection consists of, obviously, lots of patriotic colors along with some pretty awesome glitter toppers that scream "'Murica." Haha :) Salon Perfect very kindly sent me these 9 polishes.

Get ready for some photo overload!!!

My Tips for Watermarbling

Watermarbling has always been one of the most dreaded nail art techniques of all time for me. I have struggled with it for FOREVER, so recently I just sat down and decided to try every combination and option possible for watermarbling. This was the result:

Colors used:
Salon Perfect "Wild Blue Yonder"
Zoya "Blu"
Sally Hansen "White On"
