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!

Fuzzy Coat by Sally Hansen Swatches

*press sample*

Hey hey!

It's Friday and I'm hoping for a great weekend. :)

I know we have all seen the Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat matte micro bar polishes by now. I have seen them in drugstores a million times and never thought to pick any up because I tried a Nails Inc. version and wasn't too impressed with the formula. So I assumed these would be the same but I am glad I had the chance to try them out because I was happily surprised! I have 5 from the line to show you today...let's take a look:

First up is Fuzz Sea. One coat over OPI Did It on 'Em.


Fuzzy Fantasy in one coat over Orly Fresh. The pastel green micro bars don't show up too well over this color but they are there!


Tight Knit in one coat over China Glaze Elephant Walk. Fun combo!


Tweedy in one coat over Zoya Tamsen. Love this combo as well...the black and white is so versatile.


And finally, All Yarned Up. One coat over China Glaze Blue Year's Eve. My ring finger is actually 2 coats so you can see the coverage that gives.


The formula for all of these was really good...it never got too thick or difficult to work with which is what my Nails Inc. polish did. The micro bars spread easily didn't clump together either. I believe there are 3 other polishes in this line that I didn't show today.


Tell me your thoughts on these! Have you given them a try?

Bundle Monster Holiday Stamping Plate Set Review

*press sample*

Good morning, readers!

I have a Bundle Monster review for you guys today! I think anyone who is into nail stamping knows that Bundle Monster plates are pretty awesome. I have been a fan since the beginning when they only had the first set available. Since then, they have really improved their subsequent plate sets in terms of quality and listened to their fan's suggestions to make an even better product!

The set I am showing you in this post is their most recent release, a set devoted just to holidays! I think this is such a fun idea and super convenient to have all together. There are a bunch of pics coming up so get ready!

The plates come neatly packaged in a little box...


...and you don't have to worry about them scratching each other in the box because of the blue plastic coating on top (you remove this before stamping...obvious I know, but I have seen people not realize that before!) and the permanent layer on the bottom.


Let's take a look at all of the fabulous designs!


























Fun, right?! I think a few of these images can be used for any time during the year as well.

I did a little mani to test out the images using the Halloween designs since that's the next major holiday...it still felt too early to be busting out a Halloween design though! The images I used were all well etched out (I got a plate in the first set that had been damaged and after contacting Bundle Monster I was sent a replacement no questions asked, great customer service!) and here is what I came up with:


I really need to get a new white stamping polish...any skips in the design are because of that not the image plate itself.

Polishes used: OPI A Roll in the Hague, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri A Currant Trend.


Do you like what this holiday plate set has to offer?

There are all kinds of ways to keep up with Bundle Monster:

Mermaid Nails!

*press sample*

Good morning!

Remember my post from yesterday? I told you I did some pretty over the top nail art on it and that's what I am showing you today! Even though it's not what I typically wear all the time, I loved how it turned out and wearing it for a few days was fun too. These remind me of a mermaid...


Supplies used: Base- Misa Fountain of Youth
                        Glitter gradient with China Glaze Glistening Snow and OPI Pirouette My Whistle.
                        Pearls from Born Pretty Store, star confetti glitter from my stash


Surprisingly, the pearls stayed on really well and they were only stuck in wet polish, no nail glue or anything. I actually had to use foil to get them completely off!



It's kinda fun to be more crazy with your nails every once in a while!

Find the pearls I used from Born Pretty *here*. And get another 10% off your order with my code: AMG10. :)

China Glaze Sun of a Peach + Skittles Nail Art

Good evening!

I have a Pinterest inspired mani to show you today. I'm sure you have all seen the pin I'm replicating or something really similar. My base is China Glaze Sun of a Peach. All of my fingers but the ring are stamped in white and the glitter on my ring is OPI Servin' Up Sparkle and China Glaze Glistening Snow. My thumb is Glistening Snow as well. 




I love skittles nails. It gives an excuse to use lots of different techniques and colors all in one mani!

Fanchromatic Nails Swatches and Review

*press sample*

Hi everyone!

I have an indie review today! It's been a while since I have done one and I missed it!

The polishes I am showing you today come from Fanchromatic Nails. This was my first experience with this brand. Check out the cute labels!

First is The Man in the Moon. I layered to coats over Essie Marshmallow. This has a pretty shimmer in the base. I love how delicate this looks!




Next is Are You Shy? This has a sheer pinky purple base that would take on a different appearance depending on what you layered it over. I chose OPI Pink Friday and did 2 coats of Are You Shy? Check out the awesome gold flake/shimmer this has!




This is Between Two Worlds. This has a dusty purple sheer crelly base that layered perfectly over Dr.'s Remedy Lively Lilac in 2 coats.




And finally, we have Broken Holo Theory. I layered one easy coat over a Milani black creme. This was the surprise favorite of mine. The best part is that the shards laid flat on my nails! There is a perfect balance of glitters so they don't totally take over. This one is super pretty in the sun too!




How many of you have heard of Fanchromatic Nails before? Any faves from what I have shown you today?

You can find Fanchromatic Nails on Etsy *here*. You should also like their Facebook page as well!
