Aggies Do It Better

Hello! Today I have more adventures in me getting into stamping. This is the mani I wore all last weekend. I was really feeling neutral and brown so I decided to dig through my Essies! The lighting was really terrible out-gray and cloudy. bleh. I used Mochacino (brown sparkly, untried), Parka Perfect (dusty blue, untried), Sand Tropez (nude) and Beyond Cozy (glitter). The plate I used is Moyou Festive 02, which is all single snowflakes. I just love it, but man is there a knack to picking up the whole image, especially when you aren't using polish specifically made for stamping! Some of those snowflakes have such detail engraved in them. Those fine detailed designs are definitely harder to get on the stamper than the regular ones. These polishes stamped fairly well, considering. indoor lights Overall I was pretty happy with this mani, especially since I was able to duplicate this on my right hand too! Point -> Stamping! I still have a lot of work to go.

Hey guys! Today I have a mani I did months ago for Nail It Mag! They ask for submissions months ahead of time so you find yourselves doing holiday manis in the summer! Crazy!

And what do you know this is the one of mine they selected to be in the December issue! I didn't take any pictures or video when I did this but I am thinking of making a video tutorial for them, let me know if yall want to see one!  Polishes used: base: Zoya Dream white: OPI Alpine Snow White for snowman: OPI Solitare Orange for snowman: Zoya Beatrix black for snowman: OPI Emotions  This is last years version (2013). Not too completely terrible?? My nail shape and picture taking have improved dramatically so that makes for a huge difference in pics. I used almost all the same polishes though! 

Hey guys! Happy Saturday! What is everyone up to?  I am starting my Thanksgiving grocery list! For the past several years I make a huge traditional meal and I love it! It's a ton of work but it's worth it! And the Mr. lives for the leftover turkey hoagie. LIVES I tell you. Haha! What is your fav leftover! I don't usually mix them up in weird ways, I will just make another plate of all the same things! These aren't very Thanksgiving-y but that's ok! These are another collab that I did last week...my friend Danele of Low Country Lacquer just passed her one year mark on Instagram so my fellow Glitter Gals and I decided to sneakily recreate HER recreation of her first mani! So fun! I didn't have the Essie she used so I reached for the closest thing I have...and one of my FAV polishes I have across all brands, OPI Can't Find My Czechbook. I am lucky this in the core line as of right now, if it ever gets discontinued I will be frantically hoarding them! And th...
