Aggies Do It Better

Hey guys! Just like I did with the Island Fun collection, I wanted to post a quick little round up of the nail art looks I did with the Paradise Sun collection with all the names of the polishes I used (all Zoya haha!) If you missed my review of the Paradise Sun collection you can see it And be sure to follow me on Instagram @aggiesdoitbetter  for video tutorials for all these looks! This is Genesis "blobbed" with the rest of the collection! It took me foreverrrrrrrr to get the hang of this technique and now I'm a little obsessed.  Zoya Genesis This is Mae with a gold accent of Tomoko and chevrons on Purity with Tomoko and Mae. I friggen love pink and gold together!  Zoya Mae Since Aphrodite is the goddess of Love I thought I'd use my little Fingrs decals (purchased at walmart) for a cute love themed mani!  Zoya Aprhodite Oceane means cute little starfish with Destiny (my last untried Pixiedust) and dots of Taylor  Zoya Oceane I u...

Hey guys! Today I have the second half of Zoya's Summer collection! If you missed the first half--the crèmes--you can see them HERE :) This collection consists of shimmers, and most of them are siblings to the crème versions in the Island Fun set! I'm usually a person who will pick a crème over a shimmer any day of the week, but I actually like these more! WHAT! That's a first for me. These polishes-especially a few in particular-literally feel like they glow on the nail. Maybe I will be a shimmer convert after this! Lets get into it!  Zoya Paradise Sun 2015

Hey guys! Today I have the first half of Zoya's summer collection, called "Island Fun"! This is a good collection of crèmes with some staple colors, and I am loving the tropical names of the collections :) But the polishes themselves don't have tropical names, bummer haha. I didn't include comparisons this time, but if any of you want to see them, be sure to let me know in the comments! Click Read More after the collage for the review!  Island Fun collection 2015

Hey guys! I have another stamping post today! I actually did this before the OPI post that was right before this. I had a major fail which I have a pic of at the end...so I would up just doing a simple stamp...sort of! I also used Picture Polish Sea Jewel and Bright White...the last 2 of my untried PP's...which is a good thing because I just ordered more (monkey covering eyes emoji, haha!)  Add caption I don't have a macro lense but this is just a zoomed in and cropped pic so you can see the two colors. I just swiped 2 diff colors on the plate (BP13) and then scraped. It's supposed to make a gradient like look but I'm pretty terrible at it! I didn't think it looked half bad. You can really see the difference in the polishes though...Picture Polish Ocean is a jelly like polish with holo flakie glitters in it and Sea Jewel is a straight up glitter.      I also used Picture Polish Revolution glitter base under it to see if it really worked to ...

Hey guys! Today I have another mani I did forever ago (it seems, really only about a week and a half). Things get super busy here from time to time and blogging gets tossed in the back seat! I'm still trying to get stuff put away in our new place (NOT including the crap that gets thrown in closets to sort "later") and getting ready for some company coming in a couple weeks! ACK! This post has actually taken me 3 "computer sessions" to write because I keep having other computery stuff to do :) Anyway, the mood struck me when I unpacked my stamping stuff....which consists of 2 plates and a stamper :) Only one of the plates am I able to get consistent images off of, its BP13 sent to me from Born Pretty Store a while back. Stamping with a single color on a single background kind of bores me, so this is my preferred method, even though its super hard and time consuming! I think it's called "reverse" stamping.   I was super happy with the way ...
