Press Sample After taking off last Wednesday's nail art, I decided to try something a lot less complex. Why? Only because I didn't the time available to create another extremely detailed manicure. If I've learned anything over time. It's that I should never, under any circumstance, paint my nails while under fatigue. Trust me. It. Never. Ends. Well.

Anyway, I picked out two Sation colors and some camouflage studs I bought on eBay for today's simple nail art installment.

As the title may suggest, today's nail art had every intention to become a bomb ass set of galaxy nails. How does that saying go? Something or other about good intentions right? Oh well. I ended up loving these easy, yet admittedly very strange, nails anyway!


I started by painting a base color of China Glaze Creative Fantasy. Soon after that dried and I had all of the other lacquers I wanted to use laid out I nixed the original design I had in mind.
So how did I got this end result? I randomly sponged Essie DJ Play That Song, China Glaze Grape Pop, China Glaze Manhunt, China Glaze Calypso Blue, Barielle Smarty Pants, Sation Strumming My Nails, and China Glaze Creative Fantasy. I know it sounds like a lot of work but I promise you that it was quick and painless.
And finally I applied a few gold stars from Born Pretty and sealed it with a few layers of top coat.


You can get 1,000 of these metal gold star shaped decals for $8.80 on BornPrettyStore.com. By the way, the promo code NCL91 will get you 10% off your entire purchase at checkout!


The addition of stars kinda brings the cosmic theme together right?
Tune in. Drop out. Love polish.

Press Sample Ah yes, July 4th. A day off work, and a day of delicious barbeque. Did I mention a day off work? Anyway, I was pushing around a few red, white, and blue lacquers and decided to give the pinwheel nail art look a try.


I started with a base of Sation Strumming My Nails and used Sation Peppermint Pedi, Sation Cast A Spill On You, and Sation Paint Some Sugar On Me for the design.

Press Sample A few posts ago I did these nails using warmer shades of Sation lacquers, today's nail are going to be on the cooler side of the color spectrum.


I started with 3 coats of Sation Love Is In The Heir and use the Cute Polish Water Spotted technique by spraying instant hand sanitizer into a water marble. I modified it slightly by creating a bullseye with Sation Lollipop Goes The Princess and Sation Unicorns Are Teal.
Ahh! Can't you just feel the waves crashing? No? Just me? Well excusing me for wishing summer would come a whole lot sooner!

Miss Professional Nail (Miss) has announced the launch of its Spring 2013 Campaign, Miss Antoinette. The collection is a shining salute to eloquent French beauty and Marie Antoinette’s glorious run as Queen of France. After a recent visit to Versailles, Miss’ Creative Director Staci Dao was inspired to develop a theme that spun a modern twist on lacquer and love. She created a color collection that reflects an exquisite Parisian color palette that would have been icing on the cake for the legendary empress.

The collection offers a royally fun twist on Marie Antoinette’s flair for beauty and beaus. Her loyal subjects were forever fixated on her extravagant wardrobe, indulgent rituals and notorious love life. Oh, how times have changed. Women still get dolled up for potential matches, yet we’ve traded private love letters for public “likes,” and traditional courtship has been eclipsed by cell phones, e-mails and turbo-texting (a triple trauma to the nails!). Dao says, “Nothing beats old-fashioned face-to-face time; beauty and sparks of attraction are still what make us click with someone.”

Miss Antoinette serves up an amorous array of polished petits fours:

Love is in the Heir: Your hands will be on cloud nine with this glistening powder blue
Of Corset I’ll Call You: This romantic lavender-rose shade is off-the-hooks
Love at First Byte: A peachy, flesh-tone nude that leaves a lasting mega-memory
Dating the Duke: A dreamy, creamy cyan to channel your inner duchess
Delete Your Junk Male: Select this e-lectric cerise red to refine your style and suitors
Guillotine Grape: A warm, wicked aubergine that will turn heads – permanently

Let your joie de vivre shine through with a grand, gorgeous mani! The line is available to like, love and lacquer you up in salons and beauty supply stores now.

All Miss products are free of DBP, Toluene and Formaldehyde.

Miss is an MBE (Minority Business Enterprise) certified company.

A week ago I received some goodies from the people over at Miss Professional Nail and today I've got a mani to show for it.

Typically I'm not a fan of pink and red shades of lacquer so I definitely felt a challenge to do something different. And that's how these nails were born folks!


I started with three coats of Love At First Byte. Then I Grabbed a make-up wedge and did a gradient using the aforementioned LAFB and You're My Lacquer Charm.
After that was try, with the help of some quick try dry top coat, I laid down some striping tape and made half moon shapes on the sides of my index and middle fingers with Delete Your Junk Male.

Would this be your usual visit to Nail A College Drop Out without some good ol' fashion product porn? It sure wouldn't be!

L-R Sation Love At First Byte, Delete Your Junk Male—both the Miss Antoinette Collection, and You're My Lacquer Charm—Candylandia

Miss Professional Nail (Miss) has announced the launch of “Candylandia,” their Limited V nail lacquer collection. The
flavored, fantasy-themed line presents 12 candy-coated colors with a mouth-watering range of confectionary names.
Candylandia was inspired by the edible escapism of Hasbro’s Candy Land board game, a classic favorite spanning six
decades. Miss loved the bright, playful visuals of the swirly rainbow board, which sparked the creation of its own
irresistibly sweet polish palette. This whimsical collection offers winning colors that will stir up memories of childhood
imagination and endless game-playing.
