This pink mani is so simple but so very cute in my opinion. I love the combination of the duo-chrome pink that has a pretty gold shift which really doesn't translate in these images. I hope you can see how pretty that duo-chrome beauty is! 

BTW, these Gel Paints by Color Club purchased at Five Below are a super great buy! These polishes apply like a dream and are completely opaque in one coat though for a more vibrant effect I always apply two. I love how smoothly they apply and how quickly they dry. I would totally recommend these if you like gel-like polishes that really last long! I have four colors, "Gellow It's Me," "PB&Gelly Time," "Gel'n Like a Melon" and the pink one listed below all together so far but I'm not sure if Five Below even has any other shades available aside from the top coat from the line.

Has anyone found any other shades? 

Sea-ish blues and Coral omg, I wish I could use this color combination every manicure but I know that would be super boring right?! I used a beautiful iridescent glitter by Sally Hansen "Rainbow Fish" over the different blues and it just instantly screamed Mermaid skin to me. What do you think? 

BTW have you checked out my new YouTube channel, MariMynxx? I have uploaded two videos so far and have a few more on the way so please visit! I will try to upload a new video every Friday for now! Thank you guys visiting ❤.

I was just testing this new application Wondershare Filmora that I use for editing my videos and I had just found out that they have a version for Android, FilmoraGo so I decided to try it out and film a bit of this Foil application fail. The foil is full of pretty flower shapes, however, they didn't transfer completely so that's why you can only see parts of the flowers. Even though the images of the flowers aren't' so clear, the holo is pretty right?!

Blushed toned Nudey White and Silver Glitter... does that even make sense?? If you've been reading anything I ever write then you'd know that I love, love anything Nude paired with anything bright or in this case a bright ass glitter! This mani is very simple and understated but beautiful all the same!

For this post I wanted to put together a little info about some of the hauls I've had since May. Yeah I know its only the beginning of July and I have so many to share... *cough* let's move on! 

For the image above, my mini haul was at Walmart where I found two Color Club mood changing polishes that were on clearance for $3 each which was a super bargain since the original price is about $10 each. They are from left to right, "Everything's Peachy" and "Feelin' Myself". So I basically got two for less than the price of one. I also picked up a few Pure Ice's new shades "Day to Night", "Sparkle City", "Poppin' Bottle's", and a Frost Finish Matte top coat for $1.99 each. I also picked up "Star Spangled Sparkle" by Salon Perfect because its holographic chunky glitter. Need I say more?

I got these beauties from Amazon since I have Prime and I have to use that shit and believe me, I do! This is my first time buying any gel polishes and the lamp is a Coscelia 9W Mini USB LED Lamp Nail Dryer. I have never used or had to buy a lamp before so I know this isn't like the top of the line or anything. I just wanted something small and cheap and this definitely fit the bill. 

However, I am annoyed that these polishes were about $7 each and the Matte was $4.99. I know I could've found cheaper gel polishes but I didn't' know what brands were shit and which one's weren't that wouldn't be even more pricey so I settled on these from Elite99.  

I got these to help me with my picture taking game and omg I have to say that this LST Selfie Light is so EFFING COOL! I love this thing so much and I really liked the price even better. When I bought this it was $9.99. This rechargeable ring light is really cheap which is what I'm all about. But it is also really useful for taking pictures at night. 

I take images of my nails during the day whenever I finish my manicures. I usually do my nails in the morning or early afternoon and like to take advantage of the natural light that pours through my windows but sometimes I don't get a chance to follow my normal routine so this light comes in handy. 

I got the Mini Octopus Tripod so that I could film some videos to share. I'm really trying to up my game and film/edit/post videos on top of just sharing my images. I really like this tripod also because it is easy to use and really flexible. Also a great buy at just $10 bucks!

I know I say this a lot but I was super loving this Summer Floral mani like A LOTS! It really didn't take as long as I thought it would to create this design but the outcome is so expensive looking to me! I was really impressed with the stickers from Born Pretty Store and how easy they were to use, just wet, remove the backing paper, and stick! I love this look!

I'm jumping on the gold and black tattoo bandwagon! Boy nobody mentions how hard using tattoo foils are so as you can see my placement not only isn't perfect but It's all over the place. Still, this one is so beautiful to me... but what do you think?

This manicure was inspired by @mari_lumme and her beautiful Aztec Blue design. I opted for a simple lace design instead of the tribal shapes. It was a bit sloppy but again, I ain't perfect and never will claim to be but I do pride myself in learning from my mistakes so bear with me please!

This mani is sort of a mix and match because of all the shit thats going in here. On the pinky and index fingers I used a few primary colors and used the dry brush technique to add strokes of color over the white base. The ring finger is sporting a jelly sandwich and the middle and thumbs are weraring two coats of the blye base color. 

My inspiration for this mani from @flickanail, her designs are super pretty and I would love to copy all of them!
