Aggies Do It Better

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 ...

Hey guys! Glad to be getting back to blogging finally! Today I have my very first foray into stamping! I have exactly zero experience with stamping so this blog will be from a complete beginner point of view! Luckily for me I have a few friends in the nail word that are extremely proficient in stamping so I have been hitting them up for advice!  Born Pretty Store asked me again if I would be interested in reviewing items  for them so I took the opportunity to try something new! Here are the links for what they sent me :) Click Link for Stamping set Born Pretty Plate 13 Born Pretty Plate 21 First thoughts: they are really small! I've seen countless posts about stamping and I know they come in all shapes and sizes, but this is my first time seeing any in person! These plates pretty  much fit in the palm of my hand. The first thing I did was peel the blue film off.  Born Pretty Store plates and stamper set (the plates are silver with a blue protective film o...

Hey guys! I have more Born Pretty Store  decals to review today! I've had an idea to do a vintage Barbie-inspired look for a long time! If yall forgot, the first Barbie that ever came out had a zebra stripe bathing suit on-so ahead of her time, yes? I also am trying out some new nail art brushes from Winstonia Store  and I will have more posts coming up on those!  shade For this look, I started with Pink, Black and White polishes. The pink is called Girls Love Ponies from the new OPI Mustang Line...which I am jonesing for all of! My lovely friend Marcella of @lovepurplepolish gave this to me when I met her last week! How awesome is she? The black and white are OPI Black Onyx and Alpine Snow. Next, I added chunky black and white matte glitter called Black Tie Optional from Hard Candy. I used the  Winstonia striper brush (which I was sorely in need of! ) to paint zebra stripes on my first finger. Then I cut out a Barbie silhouette and dipped it water, slid ...

Hello! I have more new stuff yay! I apologize for the state of my cuticles...my hands have not yet recovered from my travels :) This beautiful blue polish was gifted to me by my friend Gianna of Nailstorming! It's my first scented polish...I never got any of the Revlons that came around. I have to say...its super weird haha! This is called Fresh Off the Clothes Line...and it totally does smell like "dryer sheets" when it starts to dry a little! So crazy right! It's a beautiful powder blue and I love it....obviously. It was a little thin on the first coat but filled in surprisingly well on the second!  shade This super cute bird is a water decal! I used 2 here for this look...one bird and one flower I added second. These were sent to me from Born Pretty Store to review and I am having a lot of fun with them! The direct link for this sheet is here.   I am really happy with the way it came out! All you do is cut out the part you want to use from the small s...
