Hey Lovelies! For today's look I started out with two coats of OPI's My Chihuahua Bites. Once that was dry I went in with MASH's Nail Art Polish in Black and stamped plate BM-314. I sealed in this beautiful look with one coat of Seche Vite.

China Glaze It's A Trap-Eze

Hey lovelies! For today's look I'm rocking two coats of China Glaze's It's A Trap-Eze from the brand new Cirque Du Soleil Collection. It's A Trap-Eze is a stunning milky white base chock full of multicolored glitter. At first when I saw the collection I wasn't sure I liked this one but then I started seeing people swatch it and I fell in love with it! When I won it in a giveaway The Lacquerologist was hosting I started bouncing off the walls with joy!

What do you think of this polish? What's your favorite polish in the Cirque Du Soleil Collection?

Nail Stamping Plate m71 From The Born Pretty Store Review

Hey Lovelies! Today I am coming at you all with another review from the Born pretty store. I have been wanting stamping plate m71 for so long now and I'm so excited to show you this plate! I love having super girly nails and with this plate I am able to achieve that look several ways! 

Right off the bat I noticed that the images weren't carved deep enough.  When I ran my thumb across the plate it felt super smooth and I could hardly feel the indentations. What that being said it was a bit difficult to get a good clean image at first but after a few tries I got the hang of it and the images came out clear. 

 For this look I used two coats of Sinful Colors Shining Heart. I then went in with MASH's Nail Art Polish in Black and stamped plate m71. To finish off the look I sealed it all in with a coat of Seche Vite.

Sweet Color Lolita Series Eco-Friendly Candy Nail Polish Varnish #049 Review

Hey lovelies! Today I am coming at you with a beautiful swatch from the Sweet Color Lolita Series. This gorgeous color know as item ID: 4513 is a deep rich and creamy purple with a hint of silver glitter. Unlike the other two Sweet Color polishes that I own this one was a bit harder to apply. Even though the formula is rich and creamy I was having a hard time applying the polish because there was a bit of dragging with the brush. However, once I put the second coat on there was no dragging and I ended up with a beautiful streak free mani.

Christmas Nails: Look #3 Water Marbling

Hey Lovelies! For my weekend mani I decided to do a Christmas water marble with red, green, white and glitter polish. I started out with 1 coat of Sweet Color's white polish in number 016. Once that was completely dry I made my water marble design with Fresh Paint's Spruce Street, Essie's Bold and Beautiful and OPI's Don't Touch My Tutu! You know a holiday mani isn't complete unless there is glitter, so I added 1 coat of China Glaze's Fairy Dust to top this look off.

Hey Lovelies! For today's look I wanted a simple and clean mani so I decided to go with a stunning burgundy as my base color and then add a crisp clean large bell on my ring finger to a a bit of holiday splash!  I started off with 2 coats of Sinful Colors Burgundy Apple. If you don't have this color GO GET IT RIGHT NOW!!! I then went in with MASH's Nail Art Polish in White and stamped Bundle Monster's plate BM-302. To top off this beautiful holiday nail look I added a green rhinestone to the bow of the bell.
