KBShimmer Watercolor + Nail Art

Hi there!

I have a fun manicure to show you today. I really loved this one and how the nail art compliments it. This is KBShimmer Watercolor and it's totally gorgeous. Probably one of my top ten indies. But not only is it pretty, the formula is amazing! It was an effortless application. I layered a couple coats over Zoya Robyn. My accent nail is China Glaze Fuchsia Fanatic with Sally Hansen Chrome pen in blue for stamping.

Ahhh ... I love glitter macro shots!!

So, do you have any favorites from KBShimmer?

China Glaze Hang Ten-Toes + Lacquistry A Litta Bitta Shimma

Good afternoon readers!

Hope everyone had a good weekend. :)

I have a layering combo to show you today. The base is China Glaze Hang Ten-Toes from the Summer Neons collection. Very pretty! I topped it off with Litta Bitta Shimma from Lacquistry. I have had this polish for a few months now and am just now using it! Sad! And I don't know why I waited so long because I love this glitter. It's one that can go over nearly anything and still look amazing.

Do you have any favorite polishes from Lacquistry?

Laser Nail Art

Hey readers!

It's been a while...again. Between packing orders for You Mix and my sister is getting married next weekend, things have been very busy around here! 

My nails are still trying to even out after a few bad breaks, so they aren't looking very perfect in these pics. I had this mani on about a week ago, so I can't remember what pink I used! I know that's terrible. The base is China Glaze Kalahari Kiss and the blue, OPI Fly. The "lasers" were done with striping tape.

It's been a while since I had any funky nail art, so I enjoyed this mani while it lasted (of course I couldn't stand the same mani for longer than 2 days). haha

Green Gradient + GlitterDaze Daddy's Girl

Good morning!

I recently decided to try a gradient tutorial using a sponge that I found on Pinterest and was very impressed with how easy the whole thing was. I can't wait to experiment with more combos!

For this mani I used OPI Thanks a Windmillion and Sally Hansen Insta Dri Mint Sprint for the gradient. It's pretty subtle, but I still like how smooth it came out. I layered Daddy's Girl from GlitterDaze on top. (FYI, this polish is going to be discontinued along with some others soon, so get them while you can!) I liked this topcoat a lot (it's kinda reminds me of a pink and black version of CTD) but I wish there was just a more glitter in the bottle because it was a little sparse. 

I feel like I didn't get to capture the glitter in it's true form in photos for some reason. It definitely looks better in person. Hate it when that happens! :P

China Glaze I'm With the Lifeguard + Orly Mermaid Tale

Hello everyone!

I had a really bad break on one of my nails a while back, so I have been sporting some obscenely short nails lately. But I got to start over fresh and sometimes that's nice. 

Today, I am showing you ChG I'm With the Lifeguard and Orly Mermaid Tale layered. These polishes were made for each other! The perfect compliment. I added some stamping with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Teal-y Fast to complete the look.

Hopefully you guys can bear with me while my nails are growing back! :)

OPI Mad as a Hatter

Hey readers!

Today I am showing you a swatch of what has become a highly sought after polish. I didn't pay anything too crazy for it...about $15 from a blog sale. I think it was a pretty good deal for a nearly full bottle. This is Mad as a Hatter from OPI: totally gorgeous full coverage glitter!

This was extremely hard to capture in photos! All the colors kept blurring together no matter the lighting or camera setting. But I managed to get a few decent ones I think. This is a really pretty glitter, but it did start peeling off in sheets after about 24 hours. Most glitters don't do that to me.

Either way, I am happy this is finally in my collection!

KB Shimmer Proud Peacock

Good evening everyone!

I have a fun indie polish to show you guys today. This is my first KB Shimmer and it's called Proud Peacock. This is 2 coats over Sally Hansen Insta- Dri Blue Me Away. What's weird is that I LOVE how this looks in pics, but in person something felt off to me. I think it's the large black glitters. I feel like they throw off the color scheme of this polish. This is a super pretty polish but I decided it had a better home somewhere else because I probably wouldn't use it again. Speaking of a better home, have you checked out my blog sale? Because I really want to get rid of these bad boys! ;)

How about you? Have you ever had any fickle experiences with indie polishes like I had?
