My First Gradient Nails! - 2 NOTDS

Woohoo, I finally did my first 2 gradient nails! I used this super easy and helpful tutorial from i love nail polish... Thanks Wan!

The first one is my favorite, this picture is nothing compared to what is looks like in real life. It goes from super shimmery gold to a very sheer glittery pink. I'm so happy with it!

I used:
Beauty Credit - Gold
Gap Pearl Pink (I got this as my first nail polish about 5-6 yrs ago and the formula is still in perfect shape, amazing!)
NYC Starry Silver Glitter



This is the 2nd gradient one I did on my other hand. Although I'm pretty dissapointed with this since white and purple obviously doesn't blend well, I think I learned a good lesson. Next time, I might try purple with blue instead. It's still pretty though! ^_^

I used:
Beauty Credit - White
NYC Purple Pizzazz Frost
NYC Starry Silver Glitter

Questions:
Which of the two is your favorite? What do you think I should improve on?

Hawaii here I come!

Woohoo, this is the 2nd time I will be going to Hawaii and I'm so excited! Although the trip is in August, I just couldn't wait to say it!

Since I literally have no idea what Hawaii has to offer (my last visit was 6yrs ago), I'd like to know from my readers: What do you suggest I should do there? Since my mom has been so busy lately, we can only travel for 5 days. With so little time, I'd like to know what I should do that will create a lifetime experience. Whether it's amazing restaurants, shopping paradises, beautiful beaches, fun games, I'm open for suggestions!

Thanks to all my readers, I'm so happy that I already have 3 followers! :)

NOTD + I need some help!

Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Platinum


Wow, isn't this polish so pretty? It glows in the sun! The color is very silvery. :3
And the best thing is that I got this at my CVS for only $1.25! I love 75% off sales!

Also, need some help from some ladies. After these polishes dried, I noticed that it formed tiny bubbles! How should I get rid of them?

I've also always wondered...what's the point of using a base coat before applying polish? I see a lot of people do it in tutorials and I just don't understand why...

Thanks for reading!
