SKULLPOOPL!! Also known as DEADPOOL MANI!!

Well isn't it a miracle?! Yes indeed, I am back, and I hope to have at least weekly manis up for you guys. Truth be told I've had the bug for a while but somehow it's taken me a while to get the ball rolling. BUT, nothing like an awesome movie to make you come out of it again! 

Watermarbling Neon Rainbow!!!

HAPPY EASTER FRIDAY!! And with Easter Friday comes COLOURS AND COLOURS MEANS RAINBOWS AND WHAT IS BETTER THAN RAINBOWS THAN WATERMARBLING RAINBOW!?!?! I don't apologize for the caps lock, that's how excited this mani below makes. IT WORKED GUYS I FINALLY GOT IT TO WORK. *cries happy tears*

31DC2014 - Galaxy Nails!!

GALAXY NAILS TIME!! I forgot how absolutely easy it is to do Galaxy nails and how wonderful the end result is!! LOOK AT THAT TINY GALAXY ON MY FINGERS. I love, love, love it!! Now onto what I did to make these pretties!! Since yeah, they technically count for my 31DC2014 Challenge. And yes, I got excited with the amount of pictures, haha.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!! I absolutely love this holiday because it combines my favourite things, like THE COLOUR GREEN and my love for shamrocks and four-leaf clovers. Seriously, love love how the world becomes green plus it lets me use and abuse all my shades!! 

Now let's get to it;

31DC2014: Geometrics - Romero Britto

So I recently got a new Romero Britto bag, for those who don't know who Britto is, he's a Brazilian artist that makes these beautiful coloured paintings, that just look amazing!! So, inspired by that, I tried my own hand at it. It took some patience, but I think it went pretty well. 

31DC2014: Animal Print

Day 13 was Animal Print, and this mani I actually managed to do before I took my little hiatus - I don't know why I forgot to post it, D'oh! But here's one of my favourite mani that I did on a last minute whim. I knew I didn't want to do your typical safari animal print, so I tried to remember interesting prints that I had seen. On my trip to Montreal I went to the zoo and there's this frog picture that the boyfriend took that I really enjoyed! 

31 Day Challenge: Rules + Red!!

Am I crazy? Insane? Have a strong desire to do too much with too little time? All of the above!! Haha, I couldn't help myself this year - I just had to at least try to participate in this event, so I figure dI'd suck it up, even if I'm a few days late I would try my very best to complete this!!

Here's the complete list of all the themes for those who want to join in on the fun - it's not too late!!

Day 1 is Red, and since it's the first day I knew that I wanted to keep it simple, so instead of playing too much with decorations and stuff I played with polishes and textures.

Acrylic Nails Series: Graduation Nails!!

Hi guys, today I want to talk about a new form of nail art that I want to start posting on my blog every once in a while. They're basically going to be some really intricate nailart and stuff that I'll be doing on fake nails. And the reason for doing this is because I started off doing it in order to perfect my craft and I figured, why not share with you guys??

 I did this with the Wicked nails a few posts back, it's a way for me to play on a 'slightly bigger' canvas while I wait for my little nubs to grow out, haha. Hopefully you'll like these as much as my other posts!! 

 

FIFA 2014 Nails: Go Brazil, Go!!

Hey, hey, so for those of you who love to watch FIFA like me, you'll make no excuses to wear your country's team colours on your nails. This was my case with these nails. I'm Brazil all the way and this is a just a quick mani I came up with for their game against Columbia yesterday - which we won!! 

 

Simple Easter Nails

HAPPY EASTER WEEKEND!! I hope everyone's having a great Saturday and enjoying the holidays. It's pretty rainy here, but that doesn't dampen (har-har) my mood! Of course, I couldn't leave this holiday without doing a little something on my nails, so I present you simple Easter Nails.

Weekly Quickly: Magenta Sparkle

Hot Pink: Colorama - Rosa Incrível

Glitter: China Glaze - Fairy Dust

Stamping: Konad Black & Silver - BM 201

Top Coat: Revlon's Quick Dry

This colour is so much more beautiful in person!

Simple Floral Stamp and Glitter

Hey look, an actual post!! I promised they were slowing going to start coming and here they are. I think I mentioned in my previous post how I got some nail mail recently and among them was my new SUPER SQUISHY stamper! I've dubbed it the SS stamper because that's what it is and it works wonderfully!!

Sochi Olympics 2014 Nails

Nothing like the Olympics to get me out of my nail art funk! And here is my small contribution that I wiped up while watching the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony. I quite liked how they turned out. 

French Tip Nails with Fairy Dust

Hello everyone, so slowly and surely I'm coming back. My nails haven't been that fancy lately, but I was quite pleased with how these simple French Nails came out - even had someone ask me if they were acrylics! So I figured I'd share.

 

Jan Nail Art Challenge: Butterfly Nails!!

So once again I'm behind on the Nail Art Challenge, mostly because it's been a pretty tough week and I had to take some time off. Also, I had to file down my nails a bit, but carrying on. The challenges were GRADIENT and NATURE, so I decided to do a 2-in-1 with these Butterfly Nails!!

Jan Nail Art Challenge: Dotticure Blue

I know, I know, I'm late to the Jan Nail Art Challenge, this was supposed to have gone up on the 11th, but this weekend I was in the middle of nowhere with my co-workers. We stayed in a cabin and played a bunch of boardgames, it was fun. Anyways, the theme was PASTEL BLUE and this was my take.

 

Season's Greetings: Striped Candy Canes!!

I've been holding out on my holiday inspired nail art, but I figured since it's finally December I can get away with it now! And what better way to start things off then with my favourite seasonal treat: Candy Canes!! 

 

Weekly Quickly: Studded Red

I had a party to go to last Saturday, so this is a quick fun nail art I did.

Red: China Glaze Cranberry Splash

Accent Nail: Zoya Pixie Dust Chyna

Studs: From BornPretty Store

Top Coat: Revlon Quick Dry

Extreme Blue Edition: Essie Bum Blu & Water You Waiting For!!

So I'm slowly getting into the whole doing nail designs again. Start of the semester means tough choices like doing my nails or sleeping. Student life, yo! 

But here's one I came up with that's fairly easy to do and I'm quite proud of it, actually. 

It's Stamping Time!!

"Guess who's back?? BACK AGAIN?? Polishing it Up is back, TELL A FRIEND."

On the contrary to popular beliefs, no, I am not dead! And have not forgotten about this poor little blog. I have, instead, been working at a Summer Camp for most of the Summer and because of that have had little to no time to breathe, let alone to dedicate to doing nails.

In fact, I've survived these past months with all of 3 (count them, three) different polishes.

I can't start to say how hard and frustrating it is to only have 3 colours to work with, especially when you want to do a bunch of creative stuff but don't have any of your gear. First world problems of a nail fanatic, haha. I did take some pics of what I came up with, maybe I'll do a post about that eventually.

But, that aside, on to today's nail art!!
