Pink Wednesday!

Happy Hump Day! 

Today I have a look featuring one of the polishes I showed you yesterday from I Love Nail Polish! I couldn't bear to take Strawberries and Creme off my nails, it was just too beautiful!

For this look, I used three coats of I Love Nail Polish Strawberries and Creme to start. For the stamp I used Mash plate 17 and China Glaze Designer Satin. Topped everything off with a coat of Seche Vite!

While I was going through my stamping plates book, I came across the stamp below and thought it would be perfect for this polish/brand! Turns out the stamp didn't work as perfectly as I'd have liked, that little blob on the bottom is supposed to be a nail polish bottle!

Hope you enjoy!

I Love Nail Polish!

Good morning beautiful people!

Today I have two indie polishes to show you. I Love Nail Polish has been on Etsy since last summer, and I am super impressed with what they have to offer! Run by the beautiful Barbra, these glitter mixes are out of this world! 

For my first order from I Love Nail Polish, I picked up two polishes. Info on how to purchase at the end of the post!

Babes in Toyland and Strawberry Creme

They come in the most adorable packaging too! 

Babes in Toyland

I wanted to show the versatility of this glitter, so I layered it over a few different colors here.

Wet N Wild Black Creme

Orly Au Champagne

OPI OPI... Eurso Euro

Babes in Toyland bottle shot!

This awesome glitter has magenta circles, teal squares, purple, gold, and green hexes, and tiny little magenta, teal, and gold hexes.

And here's a super close-up shot:

Strawberry Creme

Strawberry Creme is to die for. All different shades of pink circle glitter with tiny pink glitter in a milky white base - this is so so so beautiful! A jelly sandwich in a bottle! I got so many compliments when I wore this to work! I LOVE THIS POLISH!

You can find I Love Nail Polish on Etsy here for $10 each. This was my first Etsy purchase and I am a fully satisfied customer! I already have a few other of Barbra's amazing creations in mind for my next purchase!

Have a great day!

Sunday Sales on Monday, and Challenge Day 3!

Sunday Sales on a Monday? Sorry about that!

First up I'll show you my nails for Day 3 of the New 31 Day Nail Art Challenge, which is "gold". Let me just say, I am not a fan of gold in any way, so I was none too thrilled for this day. Which explains my lame mani.

Just a little FYI: I do Sunday Sales to help you find the best deals on the brands you want. With that being said, please look in your area for local beauty supply stores. They usually carry the big brands like OPI, China Glaze, Essie, and Zoya, for a lot cheaper than the big chain stores. I buy my OPI's for less than $7 a bottle at my local place; if I pay with cash I get an extra 10% off. So start looking in your area for these stores; plus it is always nice to support small businesses in your hometown!

31 Day Challenge Day 2: Silver

Happy weekend everyone!

This is the first of two posts today! I'll be back this afternoon with another NOTD!

For this post I have the second day of the challenge, which is SILVER. I am not a huge silver polish fan, so I did something really simple with one of my favorite silver glitters.

Base: China Glaze Glistening Snow (3 coats)

Stamp: Cheeky CH13, Wet N Wild Black Creme

31 Day Nail Art Challenge Day 1: Black & White

Hi everyone! So sorry this post is a day late! 

I have taken on the *new* 31 day nail art challenge! Today's prompt is black and white!

Colors used:

Wet N Wild Black Creme

China Glaze White on White

Sation Men-ipulation

INM Northern Lights

When I started this mani, I thought Men-ipulation was just black and white hexes, which is why I went with the dots! Turns out, it is white hexes and black shards. I like the effect of the white glitter on the white base, it makes the hexes look like they're floating.

I'm really happy with how my dots turned out! My fave is the pinkie! :)

I'll be back later to post day 2!
