OPI Didn't On 'EM + Jindie Nails Monstar

Hello!

Hope you all had a great weekend!

I will be featuring some Halloween manis this week leading up to the holiday! To kick things off, I'm wearing OPI Did It On 'Em and Jindie Nails Monstar. I bought this last year and never wore it in time for Halloween so I made sure to make it happen this year! It's such a fun glitter, I can't believe it took me so long to use it!

I look forward to seeing what everyone else in the polish community comes up with for Halloween this  year!

Also if you missed it, Butter London is on Zulily today and there is only ONE more day to enter my giveaway!

Even More Shimmer Polish Swatches!

 Hey hey!

Hope you have all had a great weekend. Mine was very rainy but relaxing.

I've got more Shimmer polishes to show you today. I am almost through the samples I was sent for review and then there will be a little surprise. ;)

First up is Lorene. One coat over Dr.'s Remedy Passion Purple. I can see this having much more dimension with topcoat.

This is Marilyn. This particular Shimmer required no underwear...very different from most of the others but I like it! And check out the shine it has even with out top coat. This is 2 coats.

Next, is my personal favorite of the bunch: Lucie. SUPER blingy...I am already planning on this being my next pedi. I layered one coat over LA Colors Metallic Silver. Obsessed!

And finally, we have Natalie. This is one coat over Bondi New York Blue Skies. This has got some of those awesome iridescent color shifting glitters in it.

Which ones are you loving from this bunch?

More Shimmer Polish Swatches!

Hi everyone!

Another week has begun whether we are ready or not! I'm kicking mine off with more Shimmer polish swatches. ;) There's lots of pics, so I will keep it short on words.

First, we have Jovie. I layered one coat over Banana Republic French Navy. This is a very versatile topper with sweet color shifting iridescent glitter!

Next is Katie. I layered one coat over China Glaze Elephant Walk. Very cute and girly. 

And finally, we have Vivian. One coat over Sally Hansen Insta Dri Speedy Sunburst. This makes my nails look like they are coated with sugar!

Any faves from this bunch?

Zoya Heidi + D&R Apothecary Jack Loves Sally

Happy Friday!

This is a scheduled post because Dustin and I are getting away for the weekend (sans 2 year old) to Atlanta! I am excited to have a little break from life and do some shopping! :)

This mani's base is Heidi from Zoya. I was hoping this would be more bright but it's still a nice coral shade.  I topped it with Jack Loves Sally from D&R Apothecary. I like this combo of glitter and the bars add a little extra something to the look.

Have a great weekend!

Zoya Natty + Maya Cosmetics Commotion

I love a glitter gradient...definitely an easy way to dress up a mani. This is Zoya Natty, the perfect navy blue, with Maya Cosmetics Commotion used to make the gradient. I like the effect the square glitters add to this polish.

If you haven't checked out the Maya Cosmetics shop before, you definitely should! It's a cute site and it can be found *here*.

Sweet Tips Nails Swatches and Review

Hello!

I am back with an indie review that is long over due. Jen from Sweet Tips Nails was kind enough to send me a few things from her shop to show you!  

First though, I wanted to touch on the cuticle oil. I really love getting to try bath and body related products from indie shops because they usually smell amazing and come in scents you wouldn't find in a store, plus they are awesome quality products!

 I wasn't let down with this oil, which came in the scent Pear Preserves. Before I smelled it, I thought what a strange scent to make into a cuticle oil! But after smelling it I was so surprised...the scent totally brings me back to my childhood in the 90s. Jen's Pear Preserves cuticle oil smells just like those roller ball lip glosses that you could get at the dollar store. They would make a huge mess from leaking eventually, but I felt so cool having my own lipgloss! Someone please tell me you know what I'm talking about! haha I love to open the bottle and smell it just because it's so fun to smell my childhood again. :) 

Ok that was a lot of words so I will keep it simple on the polishes so you don't get bored: 

This is 24 Carrots. I layered one easy coat over China Glaze Peachy Keen. I tend to prefer cool toned polishes, but I really liked this fun springy combo more than I expected.

Next up is Dazzle Me. Another one that surprised me in terms of how much I really loved it rather than just liked it. I layered one coat over China Glaze Pretty in Platinum. There is a gorgeous shimmer in this that really makes it sparkle, plus the larger silver holo glitters are a perfect accent. A very delicate polish!

And finally, this is Gooey Cream Egg. This one has these rectangular glitters that definitely make it unique. I layered one coat over Dr.'s Remedy Hopeful Hot Pink. Very bright and happy!

Sweet Tips Nails is a newer brand out there and I think that Jen has done an awesome job putting her shop together as well as making her products stand apart from other shops. Besides polish, she has some polish jewelry items, cuticle oils, and lip balms. Everything looks so cute!

Tell me your favorites from the Sweet Tips Nails shop!

Kawaii Nail Lacquer Swatches and Review

Hey guys!

It's Friday, finally! And the sun is finally out after an entire week of clouds...very refreshing. 

I have some swatches from Kawaii Nail Lacquer to share with you today. This is my first experience with this brand, but I have worked with Jamie (the owner) before and she is super sweet.  For reference, the formula for all of these were great!

First is Tequila Rose. This is 2 coats over China Glaze Make Some Noise. Love the slight jelly look this has!

This is Salad Daze. I did one coat over Orly Fresh. Another coat would have given it a more milky look, but either way I think this one is super fun!

Next is Pink Blizzard. Love the name! I layered one coat over Sally Hansen Insta Dri Grape Escape. This one could go over tons of colors and look great.

And finally is Blow My Dress Up. I was really drawn to the combo of glitters in this one. Here is one coat over CND Asphalt.  Look at the cute little tiny bars in there!

Do you own any Kawaii Nail Lacquer? What are your favorites from the ones I showed you today?

Kawaii Nail Lacquer can be purchased on Esty *here*. Be sure to follow their Facebook page as well! There is usually some kind of coupon code floating around. ;)

Sally Hansen In a Flurry + F4 Polish Firefly

 Hi readers!

Today's post is a not so recent layering mani I wore and loved. My base is In a Flurry from Sally Hansen. This is part of a limited edition Insta-Dri collection that came out in the fall last year. I have still seen it floating around a few drugstores. I got impatient before I could find it in person and got it from Colores de Carol's blog sale instead! It's gorgeous! I love all the flecks in a dark base.

I decided to put Firefly from F4 Polish over this. A match made in heaven! I love Firefly because I naturally gravitate toward cool toned colors.

I would love to know what you think of this layering combo! :)
