Nails/NOTD: French Tips with NYX Girls - Sexy Plum and China Glaze - Ruby Pumps

I felt like playing around with my nails. I don't get the chance to paint them very often as I don't have much time, but I decided to neglect some other things (house chores!) to treat myself. I originally meant to just do a dark red coat then put the sparkly red on top all over. Part way through, I changed my mind and just did 3 coats of dark red and then bright red tips. I love how this turned out. I definitely will try it again with other colors.

Nails/NOTD: NYX - White + Sobe Botanicals - Purple Holo Glitter

This look was from Easter weekend. I normally would apply this type of glitter polish on top of black or a dark color, but I wanted to use the white that I haven't used in a very long time. I don't celebrate Easter, but I felt like my nails unintentionally turned out sort of looking like those weird malt ball/egg candies that come out around Easter. Do you see what I mean?

BTW, I really don't care for malt balls!

The glitter polish is a new addition Sobe Botanicals and is a top coat. It was super easy to work with and dried really fast! Check out their polishes here: Nail Lacquers

Nails/NOTD: Avon - Stunning Cobalt

Normally I'm not a huge fan of blue polish, but I do like really dark blues and ink blues. This is a perfect shimmery dark blue for me.

Nails/NOTD: Avon - Ruby Slippers (sparkly red)

This was a little more sheer than I thought it would be. I only did two coats, but I think it would have looked best with 3.  Other than the sheerness, it went on well and I like how bright this is.

Nails/NOTD: Ozotic - Mish Mash 534

Recently I split an order of Ozotic polishes with my sweet friend, Sam. I had a few tiny bottles to put my half of polish into and let Sam keep the original Ozotic bottles half full. Definitely helped our wallets by splitting the entire order in half. If we didn't do this, I more than likely would never purchase Ozotic polishes since they are so pricey.
Here's the first Ozotic I tried. LOVE this one so much!
