Essie Penny Talk + Hit Polish Precious Metal

Hi everyone!

I hope you are all having a great Saturday! Dustin and I did a mini Amazing Race this afternoon with some little girls from our church and I think we had more fun than they did. haha

I have a bunch of Hit Polishes that keep accumulating because Rachel won't stop putting out awesome polishes and I won't stop buying them. HA!

So with that said, I am showing you Essie Penny Talk with Precious Metal from Hit Polish. I am disappointed in my photos...I had a hard time capturing this for some reason. Also Penny Talk did this weird crinkling thing on my ring finger. Maybe if I would have chosen a different base? I don't know...

I liked the mixed metal look of Precious Metal. It's a little out of my comfort zone and I think that's why it intrigued me.

What other base color would you use with Precious Metal?

**PS...Hit Polish minis are on sale 10% off right now until tomorrow at 3pm! Definitely a good reason to pick up some if you have been eyeing any!!

Saran Wrap Nail Art + Baby Nails!

 Hi polish lovers!

My little almost 2 year old decided that getting up at 5:30 am this morning was a good idea so I am posting extra early today! Pretty sure I am gonna crash later though. :/

I have my first saran wrap mani to share with you today. It was an easy technique that I think anyone can do. I chose a fast dry polish to paint over my base color and I wasn't able to get the saran wrap method to work the traditional way, which you can find here. Instead, Dustin had the idea to dab the saran wrap in polish on a paper plate and that worked out pretty well. Here is the end result:

My base color is Zoya Arizona and I used Sally Hansen Insta Dri Speedy Sunburst as my saran wrap accent. Can you tell I am not quite ready to let go of my bright, summer colors? haha

As my post title mentioned, I have some baby nails for you too! It's been a while since I have done Taylee's nails because she can't stay still and always has to touch the polish while it's wet but she always wants me to paint them (what else would you expect from an almost 2 year old?!). Enter the Essie Mirror metallics that dry super fast...she was good to go immediately after painting and her nails were super cute. :)

Have any of you tried the saran wrap mani before?

Essie Nothing Else Metals + Stamping

Hi guys!

Dustin and are are super busy preparing for You Mix's reopening this week, so this post is gonna be short and sweet.

I found most of the Essie Mirror Metallics on a blog sale for $4 bucks each and Nothing Else Metals was one of those. Gotta love blog sales! The Essie metallics are awesome. They do best without a basecoat and they dry really fast! I stamped a houndstooth pattern and the end was result looked really cool with the metallic base. For some reason my pics are a little grainy so they aren't as good as what I usually come up with, but you get the idea!

How do you feel about the Essie metallics? Are you a fan?

Zoya Natty + Hit Polish Nautical Nonsense

Hey everyone!

I scheduled this post for today since I knew I was gonna be a little more busy. I didn't want to skip a day since I have got so much to show you! It's kind of ridiculous how many untrieds I have right now. But I'm sure some of you know how that goes. ;)

I have another polish from Hit Polish (previously D & R Apothecary) called Nautical Nonsense. Cute name and it totally makes me think of boats and sailing. I did about one coat and placed a few glitters where I wanted them to get this coverage. I layered this over Zoya Natty and was very pleased with how this combo turned out.

This isn't your typical glitter combination but it works! That's why I love Hit polishes because there is such a wide variety of glitters that make me push my comfort zone and fall in love with combos I would have never thought of before.

Rachel puts out new stuff pretty much every week! I love it. haha She seriously has a ton of polish to choose from. She recently had a sale, so her stock is a lot lower than normal, but be sure to check back because it won't be long before there are more pretties available!

What do you ladies think of Nautical Nonsense? Would you wear it?

Kleancolor Metallic Pink + Lush Lacquer Pink Panther

Good morning!

I hope you all had an awesome weekend! It's never long enough for me. :)

You will probably notice that my blog got a makeover...more info on that in a later post! I am still ironing out a few details but I am loving it!

I have a very pink layering combo to show you today. This is Kleancolor Metallic Pink and Lush Lacquer's Pink Panther. I feel like my base color overwhelmed Pink Panther a bit but it's still a cute girly look, which I am always a fan of!

Lush Lacquer is debuting 19 new colors for Halloween/ Fall today and I am SO excited to see them. I have loved pretty everything I have seen from them in the past and I am sure I will feel the same about these. You can check out Lush Lacquer's Etsy shop *here*.

Thanks for reading!

Orly Frisky + Nailventurous Lacquers Burst of Blue

Hi everyone! Happy Friday!

So I am showing you a polish from Nailventurous Lacquers (Floam also comes from this line) called Burst of Blue. I bought this quite a while ago back when Amy was still selling on Etsy. I moved shortly after I got my order and this got lost in the shuffle to the point where I forgot I had it until I found it again recently! Crazy, right?!

I layered 2 coats over Orly Frisky. I notice that Amy uses a lot of this bow stamp in her nail art and it's one of my faves too, so I thought it was fitting to use in this mani. ;) I used Color Club Cold Metal for the bow. Using the flash on my camera was the only way to make it stand out, unfortunately.

Here is a shot without flash:

I really like this polish and the combo of glitters within it. Next time, I would probably put it over another color so that the blue could stand out a little more.

Are any of you lucky enough to own some Nailventurous polishes?

Coastal Scents Lily Pad + Hit Polish Retro Chic

Hi readers!

Have you ever heard of Coastal Scents? They have a bunch of eyeshadow palettes, nail polish and lots of other makeup items. They have great specials as well. Right now, the Ultra Shimmer Palette  with 88 colors is only $9.95! I recently made an order from them and that was one of the things I got and I love it! I also ordered one of their nail polishes. The line is called Coat and there are a ton of colors to choose from. These are also on sale for .99 right now too!

 So all that to tell you that's where my base color came from. haha It's called Lily Pad and it's an awesome mint green. The formula was great on this, especially for a pastel. I topped it off with Hit Polish Retro Chic (huge fan of the brand, but I didn't have to tell you that!). There are some satin matte minty glitters in here that got a little disguised by the minty base so that was kinda sad, but this is a super cute topcoat!

Do you like this combo? Do any of you happen to own Retro Chic?
