Mani Monday - March Monthly Favorites

Hey y'all! So today, I am spring cleaning! I am fed up with the mess that is my room! So today for Mani Monday, I am posting my Monthly Mani Favorites for March! Yay! I'm sorry for those of you who like to see a new design every Monday, but I just don't have the time today! :( But I hope, y'all still enjoy today's post! I did quite a few wonderful designs that I fell in love with, but I narrowed it down to 5, even though I don't think I had much more than 5 this month(;

All manis, and colors used are listed here.

***If y'all came from my Instagram, and are interested in being my Nail Art Bestie, then keep reading!***

Nail Art Bestie

Ok ladies! I am searching for my Nail Art Bestie! Is it you!? I see the awesome friendships on Instagram with all you lovely nail artists, and I would like to have my own NAB! Wouldn't you!? I would like to find someone who's skill level is somewhat around mine (whether it's better, or 'not quite there yet'), just someone who would like to challenge themselves to try out some new designs so we can do Bestie Twin Nails, or for us to do a Mani Swap together. I would be posting our nail creations together on my Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, Tumblr, and here on my blog! Fun, right!?

Well, other than the skill level in my future Nail Art Bestie, I would also like to actually befriend you on every other friend-level, and not just nail art. I would like to have a nail crazy friend that I can talk nails 24/7, send nail mail to, and her return the favor. I wanna know your birthday, or anything special going on in your life, if you need advice, I'll be here for you for whatever, and hopefully vice versa. I am all for making new friends, always! So, if you would like to be considered for my Nail Art Bestie, please KIK me (w0nderlandbby) with the following info (I will fill my info in as a reference):

Name: Cassie
Age: 23

Why You Want To Be My Nail Art Bestie: I want you to be my NAB, because...

Neon Tribal!

This mani took me two days to complete! I was tagged in a picture on Facebook by a friend of mine to recreate this mani, n so I did! What do y'all think? Also, all colors used are listed here.


This is a little different from the picture I was looking at, but it's pretty damn close(; I searched the tag from the original photo on Instagram, but the account I found had no posts. So, I'm not sure if this person is the original creator of this design. If y'all know who it is, or if it is the person tagged in the original photo, please let me know. I hate not giving proper credit!

Tutorial Tuesday - Dandelion

Hey y'all! I almost wasn't able get this posted today! But I pushed my plans back so I could! Yay!


1. Draw a little dot with a slender stem.
2. Create small spokes from the center dot, they don't have to be perfect!
3. Now here comes the fluffiness!
4. Now fill in those extra spaces with more dandelion fluffiness!
5. Draw a few fluttering dandelion seeds, and you're done!

I hope that this tutorial helps y'all!!! Paint on my lovies!

Mani Monday - Dandelions

So I was shown this design from a friend on Instagram...there was no watermark, so I'm not sure who's the originator of this art. I am more than willing to credit, I just need to know who to credit! So, if you could help me out, that'd be awesome!

This design is far from perfect. My very first dandelions! But I am pretty happy with it! What do y'all think? Leave a comment down below, and...paint on! ;)

Fantastic Friday

Hey y'all! I'm sad to say that my vision for "FANtastic Fridays" will be put to rest for now. I have been working very hard on making these nail polish rings, and I'm trying to make sure they are perfect before selling any of them. It's taking me longer than expected, but the outcome will be well worth the wait. Well, I believe it will be, and I hope to prove that to y'all very soon! If you've seen my Instagram then you've seen the few rings I've been able to complete lately. Well, I'm hoping to produce more and "open shop". 

Thanks for reading! Don't forget to check back on Monday for my Mani Monday post! Paint on!

Black & White with a touch of Pink!

Here is the adorable outfit I found a Pinterest a while back, and knew I just had to recreate it on my own nails! How did I do? ;P

I really wish I had mini button studs for this mani, but I guess my white dots will just have to do!

Colors used for my recreated mani listed here.

Tutorial Tuesday - St. Patrick's Day!

Hey y'all! Happy Tuesday! So this post is going to be short, sweet, and to the point! Only because I am working on making nail polish rings! Those ones I mentioned in my birthday post(; So let's get to this pictorial! So this took 3 thin coats of OPI's Gargantuan Green Apple over 2 coats of a white base.


1. Create a small heart at your cuticle with a dotting tool.
2. - 4. Keep creating hearts around each other but make sure you leave a space in between each heart.
5. Add a small line for a stem, and voila!

Simple, right!? Hope y'all enjoyed! Paint on!
