Hard Candy 20th Anniversary collection-my pics!

Image
Hello! I have a fun one today! Hard Candy recently came out with a 20th Anniversary collection with 8 polishes in their original packaging and colors! 5 of the 8 were original colors, and 3 new colors in the same packaging. They even included the cute little rings on the bottles! By the time I got to Walmart and saw if they had these, there was only these 2 plus 2 others that I didn't like, so I wasn't going to buy them just for the sake of the blog! ( I do enough of that anyway, haha). The only other ones I want are Mint and Coconut! Still on the look out for those, although I'm sure they're long gone :( I was lucky enough that one of the ones I got was Sky, one of the originals! whoop! I'm a little tardy posting about these but you know...life!   This is 2 coats of Sky. This was almost a one coater!  I even wrote "whoa!" I my notes, giggle! Amazing, most mint or light blue crèmes I have are 3 coaters. No topcoat! Sky the other one I grab...

Face of Australia and Nail It! Australian brands reveiw

Image
Hey guys! I have little mini-review for you today! I have these under the "purchased by me" tag but they were actually a gift from my sister in law in Australia! It me forever to get to them, shame on me! I love them so much (heart eyes)! First up is a brand I've seen online but never owned until now! Its called Nail It! (giggle) and this minty (matte!) crème is called Sports girl. I didn't write down how many coats I used but I'm pretty sure it was 3! The formula was a bit tricky as with all matte crèmes, this is the only matte crème I have, the rest of the matte polishes I have are shimmery, etc! But who can resist a good mint nail polish?? NO ONE I say!  Nail It! "Sportsgirl" I used the other polish she gave me, Face of Australia "Studio 54" to create a little gradient with a sponge! Its a really pretty coppery glitter topper. I added a coat of my OPI matte topcoat to keep it matte! What do yall think?? (I just re read through ...

Picture Polish Nail Art Quarterly: Round 2!

Image
Hey guys! Today my blog is all about my design for Picture Polish's second nail art competition, Nail Art Quarterly! I was so excited to be chosen again because the theme "geometric" is waayyy more my style than the floral-themed last one! Here's what I came up with!  We were able to choose 3-5 shades out do our own collection (and only striping tape or straight nail vinyls) and I chose five of my favorites. Marine, Tiffany, Honeydew, Bonbon, and Chillax. All blues and greens! I also arranged them in sort of a lightest to darkest order to create a subtle ombre effect.  I hope you guys enjoy this progression of pics  I took as I went :)

Image
Hey guys! I'm back from a little hiatus. Its been a whole month since my last blog! I just had to focus on getting some things done around the house. Yall know how that is! Today I have what's probably my most anticipated collection from Zoya since the last Matte Velvets came out, the new Matte Velvets for 2015! As soon as I saw the pictures of this collection I was PUMPED for that blue matte! This collection has a few similar collections as the last one and some new colors! Here's my post on last year's Matte Velvets!  I totally was *not* going to do any comparisons because by the time I received my replacement shipment (the first one was so badly damaged I still can barely talk about it) I feel like its already been done a lot buuuuuuttt I did anyway so those will be up tomorrow. I tend to gush about the Matte Velvets because I love them so much (just like last year) so know that even though these were sent to me to review I actually honestly love them just so much lo...
