China Glaze Too Yacht to Handle + Sephora by OPI Wild About Shimmer + Studs!

Hello!

I have a mani to show you today that I was so happy with the end result. It's pretty simple and easy to accomplish but is definitely not boring!

After reading a recent post from Glitter and Unicorns featuring China Glaze Too Yacht to Handle, I knew I needed to give it a chance from being trapped in my untried pile. I was drawn to the color enough to buy it despite bad reviews on the formula but I was very pleasantly surprised at how easily it applied! 

I topped off TYTH with a coat of Sephora by OPI Wild About Shimmer. I got mine in the current 3 for $10 sale at Sephora. LOVE this shimmer...it doesn't mess with the base color which is awesome. And finally, I used some nail glue to attach these adorable gold heart studs to the base of my nail. So girly and cute...right up my alley!

Attached with nail glue and topped with 2 coats of topcoat, I have only lost one stud in 3 days!

I got these cute heart studs as part of a set from Born Pretty Store...they came with a variety of shapes and sizes in silver and gold. You can find them *here*. Get an extra 10% off with my code: AMG10!

Do you love these heart studs?

Orly French Mani Set ft. Space Cadet

Hey friends!

I saw a set from Orly at TJ Maxx recently that intrigued me. It came with everything for the perfect french mani with a twist and included mini bottles of Top 2 Bottom, Black Vinyl, and Space Cadet along with some awesome nail guides to help you create some different looks like a traditional french, a half moon mani, and a chevron french. There was even a little pamphlet on how to create all the looks...super easy!

This was on sale for $10 at TJ Maxx and I actually found mine in a blog sale for $5, but for what you get $10 still isn't bad!

I went for the chevron french mani look. The stickers were sturdy and easy to use; I wish I could buy them separately so I could have a bunch on hand! I did 2 coats of Space Cadet on the tips...such a pretty duochrome effect over black.

Have you guys seen this set floating around your TJ Maxx stores? I have seen them at a few other discount stores like Marshalls as well.

Fall Inspired Glequins

*press sample*

Hi polish friends!

It seems like fall is just around the corner with school starting back up and seeing Halloween decorations pop up in stores. In reality, where I live, it won't really be cooling down until October/November! Until then, this mani will be as close as I get to the fall season for a while. ;)

My base is Mai Tai from Nailtini, which I got in my Ipsy Glam bag for July. I then used red, orange, and champagne "glequins" from Born Pretty Store to frame my nails. I used my new favorite tool, the rhinestone grabber, to pick up the individual glitter and that was a lifesaver! My accent nail is Zoya Penny with a couple coats of Jordana Bronze Fest layered. If this mani doesn't scream fall, I don't know what does!

How about you? Ready for the fall season yet?

LA Girl Teal Dimension + Nail Stickers

Hi readers!

Are you all ready for a new week? I am optimistic that mine's gonna be good...let's hope so! ;)

For today's mani, I started with a base of Teal Dimension from the LA Girl 3D Effect line. I have said it before and I'll say it again...LOVE these polishes! Just look at the gorgeous teal color and the depth it has...super gorgeous.

A polish that pretty doesn't need to be messed with a whole lot! So I added some simple nail stickers from Born Pretty Store. These came on a large sticker sheet and can be trimmed to fit the nail however you want them to look. They weren't as sticky as I would have liked but as long as I pressed down hard and applied top coat immediately after they stayed put pretty well.

I like the metal look these have!

These stickers come in silver and gold and there are a variety of patterns to choose from. Find them on the Born Pretty site *here*! AMG10, my coupon code, gets you 10% off too!

Don't forget to enter my giveaway if you haven't already! There is a bottle from Bootie Babe up for grabs....you have one more day!
