Lacquered Loves

A couple weeks ago I mentioned that I had broken a nail and a few of you wanted to see a tutorial. Usually my nails are strong, but I made the huge mistake of buffing them a little bit too much. I had this idea that the smoother they are, the easier it would be to paint them. However, this weakened my nails very badly. Heed my warning (and the warnings of basically everyone on the internet)! Not a good idea, no matter how strong you think your natural nails are. I was frantic thinking of ways to keep my poor nail intact (at the moment I was using a band-aid to keep in from getting worse) when I remembered the tea bag patch method! I've tried this method before, but I got very different results. If I remember correctly, the first time I tried it, I used nail glue. It was pretty bad. However, there are countless articles and blog posts on the Internet if you do a quick Google search.

Hey guys! So I've been wanting to publish blog posts more often and I figured once a week sounded doable for me. From here on out, there shall be new blog posts up every Sunday! Here's hoping I manage to stick to this schedule, but I think I'll be able to manage. Anyways, today I have an exciting collection for you! I've swatched Nine Zero Lacquer's Halloween 2016 Collection. If you want to see these polishes and know what I think about them, keep on reading!!

Hey guys!! So sorry for the lack of posts lately. School started up for me again a couple of weeks ago and I'm still getting used to the schedule. And not only that, I also had a severe case of carpal tunnel just as school was starting; my left-hand was basically useless to me up until this past weekend. Yikes. Luckily I've healed up well enough to be able to bring to you my top five favorite nail polishes for the fall. I cannot tell you how excited I am for this time of year! Granted, there isn't much of a seasonal change in South Florida, but it does get less humid and sticky and if that isn't a reason to rejoice, I don't know what is! So if you'd like to find out more about my favorite nail polish for this time of year keep on reading! First up we have Butter London Shag.
