Cheeky Stamping Plate Review

Good evening readers! 

It's been one of those days where I just haven't gotten around to blogging until the day is practically over. Better late than never I suppose!

So I recently had the chance to test out some stamping plates from a brand that I hadn't tried before called Cheeky. I just think it's awesome how easily accessible stamping plates have become. I remember when Konad was the only one out there and it was super expensive! Luckily, brands like Cheeky make stamping supplies much more accessible and affordable. I think you get more than you pay for with this set. Check it out: A nice storage box, protective film over the front of the plates as well as a coating on the back, and a cute card that can double as a scraper. . The packaging itself is super cute and definitely adds to the appeal of the product.  

I did some stamping over some LCN colors that I will be reviewing soon. I mostly used metallics to stamp and that makes it a little more difficult for the image to transfer smoothly sometimes, so any bald areas are because of that and not the quality of the plates.

Love the fun range of designs! I would definitely recommend these plates and they are nicely priced at $25/set. You can purchase the set *here*!

New Shimmer Polish Swatches!

Hello my lovely readers! 

I'm back from a bit of sporadic posting during the holiday weekend but I've got lots to show you coming up so I should be around for a while!

I'm sure most of you have heard of Shimmer polish, an indie brand. I have previously featured this brand quite a few times now and haven't been disappointed yet! This next group I am about to show you is no exception. So let's get right to it!

This is one coat of Elsa over Dr.'s Remedy Bold Baby Blue. 3 coats would definitely give you a full coverage look.

Next, is Sonia. One coat over Orly Buried Alive. This one is my favorite of this group because of the iridescent glitters in it. They really add something to this already pretty polish!

Jasmine is a fun one. I believe this is 2 coats over OPI Fly. Love the coverage this gets in only 2 coats!

Here is Fanny layered over Zoya Rory in one coat. I love pink, so this is an automatic fave for me!

And finally, we have Jenny. I know I keep saying this, but I love this one! It looks amazing here over China Glaze Blue Year's Eve. What a fun combo of glitters!

What are your favorites of this bunch?

 I previously featured Shimmer *here*, *here*, *here* AND *here* haha. So check those links for even more swatches!

You can shop Shimmer's Etsy shop *here* and on their blog *here* and like them on Facebook *here*!

My Thanksgiving Mani!

Good morning!

Just a quick post to show you what I wore on my nails for Thanksgiving. A little late but that's ok! :) I did this mani sitting on the couch with my 2 year old jumping all over the place so that said, I'm quite happy with how the whole thing turned out. haha 

I did a sponging gradient with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Bronze Ablaze and Quick Brick and topped it off with Autumn Harvest from Hit Polish. My accent nail is a feather...I should have doubled up on topcoat because it's looking a little dull.

Overall, I think it looks cute. :)

China Glaze Kalahari Kiss + Lush Lacquer After All, It's Fall!

Happy Thanksgiving to those in the US! I hope you all have a great, relaxing day full of family and yummy food! 

My mani is pretty simple today. I have one more fall look to show you soon as well. This is China Glaze Kalahari Kiss and Lush Lacquer After All, It's Fall!

Very holiday appropriate, right? haha

Thank you for reading!

Fall Nail Art ft. China Glaze Life Preserver

Hi readers!

It's getting closer to Thanksgiving and I have some cute nail art to celebrate. I really love this design. Everything came together so well!

The base is China Glaze Life Preserver (PERFECT fall shade!) and the accent nail has Sweet Potato Souffle from Hit Polish as a gradient at the tips. The colors used for stamping are Essie Good As Gold  and Sally Hansen Insta Dry Coco-a-Go-Go.

Are you guys planning on sporting a fall mani for Thanksgiving? 

Nails Inc. Sugar House Lane

Hey readers!

I have been so busy lately I missed out on blogging the past few days! Sad. ;)

I have a swatch of Nails Inc Sugar House Lane for you guys today. This line of polish is kind of old news but I finally bought a couple recently. They are actually my first polishes from this brand!

I believe this is 2 or 3 coats. The formula was pretty good and the glitter dispersed well. I love this unexpected nude base. Also, I thought these glitters were matte before seeing them in person but they are really metallic. The milky base masks the metallic finish quite a bit though.

Do you like this combo for a polish? 

I've got lots of fun reviews coming up over the next week or so, so stay tuned for that!
