Belated 4th of July Mani

Hey hey!

Just a quick little post today to show you the mani I had yesterday for July 4. It's obviously time to get some new white stamping polish...I have always used Konad brand, but do any of you use something else for white that works particularly well?

My base colors are ChG Poinsettia and Orly Stone Cold.

Here's me with my husband and daughter yesterday. We had a good time getting our patriotic outfits together and I also wore these crazy false eyelashes yesterday that were so much fun!

Hope everyone in the US had a great holiday yesterday!

Patriotic Chevron

Hey everyone!

I hope everyone had a good day. Dustin and I have been busy with You Mix and our internet wasn't working for most of the day so that just made things even crazier. :P

I have another July 4th themed mani for you today. Depending on how much time I have, I hope to have one more to show you tomorrow! Anyway, I am a huge fan of the chevron pattern so this is one (from the 2nd Bundle Monster set) is one of my favorite stamping designs of all time and it looks super cute in patriotic colors. The stamping itself isn't the neatest, but that is only obvious really close up. 

Polishes used: WnW Wild Shine White, China Glaze Poinsettia, and China Glaze Ride the Waves.

I added some rhinstones to add a little something extra and it was just what the mani needed to be complete. :)

Zoya Kimmy + Color Club Orna-Minted

Hey there!

Today I have an easy 4th of July mani to show you. I hope to come up with a more exciting one with nail art for the actual day. 

This is Zoya Kimmy as the base. I haven't used this polish in a while, but I fell in love all over again! The bottle has lots of golden shimmer that sort of overtakes the red color which was a turn off for me, but once on the nail it was just a gorgeous metallic red! Sooo pretty. I layered Color Club Orna- Minted on top. I forgot how blingy this is in just one coat! 

I love doing holiday manis...can't wait to see what you guys come up with too! :)

China Glaze Pink Plumeria + A Franken

Hey!

Just a quick post today...this is China Glaze Pink Plumeria with a super cute franken by a friend layered on top. It has sort of a milky base so the neon got cancelled out, but it still looks good. 

Thanks for reading!

Orly Au Champagne + Orly Sashay My Way

Hi readers!

Just a quick mani post today. I am still catching up with nails I had on my vacation....so these pics are not the best. I took these ones while waiting for the Electrical Parade at Magic Kingdom to start...I was too paranoid they would get messed up before I could snap a pic. Not the most ideal that's for sure!

Anyway, I layered Orly Sashay My Way on Top of Orly Au Champagne. This combo felt so luxe on my nails! Still somewhat simple, but still makes a statement.

 Sashay My Way is one of 22 (!) glitters to be released throughout this year by Orly. You can check out the other ones here.

I would love to hear what you think about them!

Born Pretty Store Hair Accessories: Mother/Daughter Edition!

Hey guys!

I'm going off the beaten path today to show you some cute hair accessories from Born Pretty Store. In addition to carrying tons of nail art supplies and polish, they have got lots of jewelry and other accessories at great prices as well.

First I am showing you a delicate lace headband embellished with pearls (find it here). I really liked this because it wasn't too tight and I hardly noticed it was there during the day (it's connected at the bottom with elastics)...a huge plus considering most headbands leave me with a headache and it's super cute! 

And I decided to get my daughter involved because I love doing her hair! I thought these Hello Kitty clips (find them here) were perfect for her and I wasn't disappointed...she even had a little dress that matched perfectly!

I love Born Pretty's accessories because they are a cheap and easy way to switch things up and try something new. I definitely plan to try more in the future! 

If you decide to stock up on some Born Pretty accessories, use code AJ10W21 to get 10% off your order. :)

So...have any of you found something cute from Born Pretty lately?
