OPI DS EXTRAVAGANCE For Camping

Hey Lovelies!  My husband and I took our daughter camping for the first time this week and I wanted to throw on a polish that I knew would hold up well with all the fun things we had planned. After a 4 mile very hilly hike, a 10 mile canoe trip, numerous swimming adventures and just being out in nature OPI DS EXTRAVAGANCE was the best polish to wear! I also paired this amazing polish with Bundle Monster's stamping plate BM-418. This photo was taken at the end of our camping trip so you could see how well it held up! Amazing right?!?

4th of July Nails

Hey lovelies! I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July weekend!

For this look I stared out with two coats of OPI's Don't Touch My Tutu! and then one coat of Funky Fingers Bottle Rockets. Once that was all dry I went in with Barielle's Barry Blue polish and stamped plate M78. 

Born Pretty Store's Nail Stamping Plate BP-L007 Review

Hey Lovelies! Today I will be featuring  the Born Pretty Store nail stamping plate BP-L007. This plate is one of my favorites yet because of all the very detailed images located on one single plate! 

For this first look I started out with one coat of Jamberry's Jammin' as my base color. Once that was dry (it only took like 30 seconds)  I went in with Essie's Go Overboard and stamped the fifth image from the left in the top row. How stunning is this look?!?!

For this last look I started out with three coats of  OPI's The One That Got Away on my pointer, middle and ring finger. Next I went in with my makeup sponge and applied some of the OPI The One That Got Away and Sinful Color's Black on Black and did the gradient technique. Finally I applied two coats of Sinful colors Black on Black to my pinky and stamped my pointer and ring finger with the fourth image from the left on the top row. 

How Gorgeous is this plate!?!? Make sure you swing on over to www,bornprettystore.com to grab plate BP-L007 and check out all other nail art goodies they sell! Make sure you use the coupon code JFL91 for 10% off!

OPI's Liquid Sand- The Impossible

Hey Lovelies! So my brother-in-laws girlfriend is down right AMAZING ( I love you Jen) and she got me SEVERAL new and beautiful nail polishes for Christmas and this is the first beauty that I tried out! OPI's The Impossible is a pinkish red polish with star and small hex glitter mixed in. I was a little sad that I was not skilled enough to get any of the star glitter on a single nail! I am still new to working with the liquid sand line so hopefully with time I will master it and get a star glitter hahaha! To achieve this look I used two coats but I could have gotten away with only one (which is AMAZEBALLS!!).  

Have a wonderful Weekend guys!!!

Born Pretty Store: Super Matte Change Surface Glossy Oil Nail Polish Review

Hey lovelies! For today's post I wanted to share with you an awesome new polish that I received from Born pretty store. Item ID:3590  is a great polish that will take your super glossy finish nail polish and turn it into a stunning matte finish. The first few times I tried this polish out I got super frustrated because I was experiencing such horrible shrinkage. After several failed attempts it finally dawned on me that maybe I needed to wait until my nails were COMPLETELY DRY. Sure enough I applied 2 coats of OPI's DS Extravagance, waited until they where completely dry and then applied 1 coat of  Item ID:3590 and HOLY COW BATMAN IT WORKED!!! I am really impressed with how fast this matte polish drys and I loved watching it turn from a glossy look to a matte look right before my eyes! 

How freaking gorgeous is this color in a matte finish?!?!?! 

Not only does the Born pretty store sell matte nail polish, they also sell nail art supplies, cell phone cases, makeup, hair supplies and so much more! They also ship worldwide and it's free shipping!! If your interested in grabbing a few of these beauties for yourself swing on over to the Born pretty store and don't forget to use the coupon code JFL91 to get 10% off your entire order!!
