Christmas Nails: Look #2

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.

I Moustache You A Question!

Hey Lovelies! Today's post is in honor of Movember!! During the month of November men around the world raise awareness and money for men's health issues like prostate and testicular cancer by growing out amazing moustaches. So to support all my Mo Bros growing spectacular moustaches I decided to take part in Movember and I dedicate this post to all of you! 

For this look I started off with 2 coats of  Wet n' Wild's Sugar Coat and 1 coat of China Glaze's Fairy Dust. Once that was dry I went in with MASH's Nail Art Polish in Black and stamped plate QA28. I sealed it all in with a coat of Seche Vite and sat back to admire my sparkly moustache nails! 

Have a wonderful weekend!! 

China Glaze's Beach Cruise-R

Hey lovelies! Today I have a gorgeous swatch of China Glaze's Beach Cruise-R from the 2012 Summer Neon Collection. Beach Cruise-R is a radiant Fuschia grape color with a subtle violet shimmer to it. When applied it dries with a stunning semi matte finish. If you are in love with neon colors but you think they are just too bright and flashy then Beach Cruise-R is the neon color for you. 

Christmas Nails: Look #1

Hey Lovelies! In honor of the first snowfall in Ohio over the weekend I decided to do a snowflake mani. For this look I started out with one coat of Tip Top Nail Chic in Raspberry Creme. Once that was dry I went in with MASH's Nail Art Polish in White and stamped Bundle Monster's plate BM-323. Finally I added one coat of China Glaze's Fair Dust on top to pull this look together. 

China Glaze's Mahogany Magic

Hey Lovelies! Today I have a beautiful swatch from China Glaze's Hunger Games Collection! Mahogany Magic is a yummy milk chocolaty cream finish brown. This is my first brown polish that I have ever owned and OMG I am in love with it! This polish is so opaque that really I didn't even need a second coat but I applied two coats anyways. 

If you are in the market for a creamy dark brown polish this one is for you! 

Thanksgiving Day Nails

Once that was dry I went in with the same colors and stamped image plate BM-314.

Eco-Friendly Nail Polish and Nail Stamping Plate M59 Review

Hey Lovelies! Today I am coming at you all with another review from the Sweet Color Lolita nail polish line from the Born pretty store and stamping plate M59. Let me just start off by saying I have had the worst track record with white nail polish. I like to say we have a love hate relationship because I can never find a white polish that isn't super thick, streaky, or gunky. So I was super skeptical when I got this white polish considering my track record but WOOOO HOOOO BUDDY!!!!! This is THE BEST white polish I have EVER used! It's everything you want from a white polish! Item ID: 4512 is creamy, glossy, has great application, dries fast, streak free and best of all it's a one coat wonder! Yes you heard me right! I only used one coat to achieve this beautiful look. If all that hasn't got you running to the Born pretty store yet to top it off it's eco-friendly!!

For this look I used two coats of China Glaze Grape Pop topped with one coat of China Glaze's Fairy Dust. Once that was dry I went in with Essie's Bangle Jangle and stamped image plate m59 that I got from the Born pretty store. To top off this look I added a clear rhinestone for a little added bling. I have been wanting this plate for the longest time and I am so happy that I picked it up. When scraping and transferring the image from plate to nail I got a clear and crisp bow every single time. I highly recommend this plate if you love bows and hearts!
