Aggies Do It Better

Hey Guys! Today I have my first Rocksbox to share with you! I call Rocksbox "the netflix for jewelry" haha! It's a monthly subscription and they send you 3 pieces of jewelry to wear and try out, when you are done you send them back (free shipping both ways!) and they send you more! Of course, if you want to keep any you just let them know and they bill you for it. But you don't have to purchase any! Rocksbox has offered me a membership so I can share with you guys the kind of stuff they offer! My taste in jewelry is clean and simple, but they have jewelry for all tastes from what I saw scrolling through the gallery.  Here is what they sent me!  Necklace: Sophie Harper gold triangle pendant  Earrings: Kendra Scott Tessa stud earrings in Chalcedony Ring: Gorjana Infinity II ring in gold  I thought this ring would look pretty with Essie Coctail Bling, one of my untried! And a fitting name too! I'm new at taking pics with rings-it's harder...

Hey guys! Today I have the results of the little wear test I did with the Sally Hanson miracle gels I posted about last week. I wore this mani last weekend for 4 full days--that's the most I can do as a blogger when so many fall polishes are rolling in!   The polishes I used are Totem-ly Yours (nude), Fish-teal Braid (teal), and Beatnik (blue).   I decided to see if these polishes water marbled and guess what-they do! I tried 2 different methods-water dipping and decal (where you let it dry on the water, pull it off and cut it to fit your nail). On a base of Totem-ly yours on my first 2 fingers I did the water dip method and on my ring and pinky method I made a decal and cut it to fit in an interesting way. I was really happy with how it turned out!   Here is how it looked after 4 days. Not too shabby! I was pretty active on my weekend and did all the normal things. I will say, the top coat takes a while to dry. I gave it an hour a...

Hey guys! I meant to have this post up yesterday but my internet decided to start being stupid right in the middle of the other stuff I was doing so no time for hobby stuff! boo! So here I am at the crack of dawn writing it today bc all my kids are up early on a Saturday...because that's how it goes in my house. At least the older ones will stay in their rooms for a little bit (when told to) haha. I'm probably going to the new Ulta near here again today to try for another giftcard. Yay free stuff! This is just a little round up of the swatches and nail art I've been posting this week around the internets. I recently made a couple sizable purchases from April of pipe dream polish  (yes purchases! EVERYTHING in this post was purchased by me). One was a little while ago when she decided to clearance out all of her old polish so she can focus on her new collections  (check out my post on her original neon crèmes here Pipe dream polish A Night In Vegas Collection ) I think I b...

Hey guys! How excited am I about today's post!! If you follow me elsewhere you've already seen me going on and on about one of the polishes in this collection, Aggie! Yesssss there's a polish named Aggie! No, this isn't named after me (well....that I know of haha) BUT I'm totally claiming it since I don't have my own blogger collab polish like all the cool kids ;) Let's get right into them! If you missed my first post on the crème half of Zoya's fall polishes you can see it here.  Historically Zoya divides their fall collection into 2 parts, one half crèmes and one half shimmers or metallic or some such. This is the second half! Flair 2015   First up is Ember...is an orangy red shimmer. Despite being slightly orange this one really glows! It feels like liquid magma on your nails. (mag-mah....snickers) This is 2 coats plus topcoat,  I was impressed with the opacity! Ember Tris is a dark gunmental gray shimmer. This one is much thinner in fo...

Hey guys! Today I have the first half of Zoya's fall collections! The Focus collection is 6 crèmes in rich fall colors. Zoya almost ALWAYS hits it out of the park with crèmes, lets get right in to it!  Zoya Focus fall 2015

 Hey guys! I'm back, I hope! This past month has been super crazy getting ready for school to start for my kids (they went back August 7th! How much crap is that!) and my 3 year old ready to start preschool. He's starting twice a week for now. My baby-ugh! But our schedules have been all over the place and they are always extra tired the first couple weeks going back to school full time. I am so ready to get back into a routine! My house-to-do list is a mile long, so many things need to be sorted through and reorganized without little prying eyes and invasive hands, lol. I am looking forward to getting back to a regular schedule of blogging too--it's all about the balance, yes?? Anyhoo! Today I have some Sally Hansen swatches for ya! I was pretty excited when they asked if they could send me these...I think SH was some of the first polish I ever owned when I was younger...like ever! That and Maybelline, haha! I've never tried these Miracle Gel polishes but have been...

Hey guys! This is turning into an accidental series! Well, just for summer it seems. I just don't have time during the summers to blog every mani, but I started a project last year of documenting each polish I have here on the blog (IG doesn't count!) so I need to post them here, and I might as well say a few words about them!  First up is really out of the box for me! I rarely wear manis with flakie or flakie type glitter/metallic shards like this, but I do have a few! I'm still baby-stepping myself into a full white mani-for some reason I'm still scared! Haha! I did here but then put one of my untried glitters on it-so this is OPI Angel with a Lead Foot (white) with OPI Gaining Mole-mentum over it. Is has silver, gold, and rose gold shard type glitter in it. I have to say, it doesn't ALL lay totally flat and some pieces stuck up even through my topcoat and it DROVE ME CRIZZAZY so I probably won't wear it too often.   OPI Gaining Mole-Mentum ...
