And They Call It Puppy Love

PUPPIES! 

I mean I know we all love nails here but I have another love too... PUPPIES! I have such a sorf spot in my heart for puppies, big or small, old or young, I love them all :) So when I stumbled upon the Furry Best Friends stamping plate by UberChic Beauty I just KNEW I needed to have it! And good news... I was right, it is as amazing as I thought it would be!

I decided to start off with a simple look with a few paw prints and a puppy face. What I like about these is that they are so unique, along with all of the  images on this plate, they aren't like everything I've seen before and I love that!

I started with a base of CBL Berries in the Snow. When it was dry I stamped over each nail with the paw print/puppy face images form the Furry Best Friends plate form UberChic Beauty and Mundo de Unas Light Gold. I sealed it all in with some Seche Vite and that was it!


I absolutely adore the way these came out! I hope they brough a smile to your face as they did to mine :) 

What about you? Do you love puppies? Or maybe you're a kitty person? Share you loves with me in the comments!

Thanks loves :)

Colors By Llarowe Winter 2015 Partial Swatches

Hi guys!

I've been really enjoying watching lately, and I hope you aren't getting sick of it because these polishes are SO pretty!! <3

I've got four polishes from the Colors by Llarowe Winter 2015 collection to share with you today. Might as well just get into it right? ;) 


A nude scattered holographic with a pretty golden shimmer in the sunshine. Formula was perfect, smooth and easy to work with. Swatch is two coats with top coat. 



A gorgeous medium red with an intense holographic flame and red holographic micro glitters scattered throughout. Formula is perfect, smooth and easy to work with. Swatch is two coats with top coat although it could defintely be a one coater on shorter nails. 



A medium plum purple linear holographi. Formula was the same as the others, smooth and easy to work with. Swatch is two coats with top coat.  



A stunning deep berry wine linear holographic. Formula was the same as the others, smooth and easy to work with. Swatch is two coats with top coat although it could easily be a one coater. 



These are so perfect! The formula was so amazing and *secret time* these are my FIRST CBL polishes O.O But I am so impressed I will definitely be ordering more like.... today ;) 

Anyways, my favorite has to be Berries in the Snow. It's such a unique and beautiful color, I've been into the vampy colors lately and this one is just perfection!

The Fickle French

I usually love french manicures SO MUCH! 

Except for this one...

UGH! 

I had such high hopes for this cute mani and it just fell flat for me :( The idea was great but the execution... definitely needed more work. Well, OH WELL! I thought I'd show you guys anyways! YOLO right? ;) 

I started with a base of OPI Bubble Bath. Then I created the french tips using Stick It! Nail Vinyls Half Moon Vinyls and Mundo De Unas White. Then I stamped over the ring finger using Mundo De Unas Hot Pink, my Clear Jelly Stamper, and Bundle Monster Plate BM-H18. I sealed it all in with some Seche Vite and that was it!


I will most defintely revisit this mani one day.... some day anyways ;) But I still think its kinda cute :) What do you guys think?

Thanks loves :)

L-O-V-E

Hi guys!

Valentine's Day is coming up soon so I thought I'd cook up some Valentine's Day inspired designs. I LOVE this look.... ;) 

I started off with a base of Nasty Nails One Night Stand. When it was dry I stamped over each nail using Mundo De Unas Light Pink and Bundle Monster plate BM-711. Then I used my Clear Jelly Stamper and stamped the letters over each nail using Born Pretty Store Black and Bundle Monster plate BM-426. I sealed everything in with some Seche Vite to finish it off!



I am so happy with the way these came out! The Clear Jelly Stamper has really revolutionized how we stamp, it has made placing specific designs, like the LOVE letters, SO much easier! I can't wait to create more!

What do you think about this look for Valentine's Day? Would you rock it?

Thanks loves!

HEART beat

Hi guys!

I'm loving on these Valentine's Day looks! The one is super unique and it was so much fun to create!

I started with a base of Color Club Miss Bliss. Then I stamped over each nail using Mundo De Unas White and Pink and Bundle Monster plate BM-319. Then I stamped over each nail using my Clear Jelly Stamper, Born Pretty Store Black and Bundle Monster plate BM-411. Finally I sealed everything in with Seche Vite and that was it!


I know a lot of people have mixed feelings about Valentines Day but I hope that we can all agree that pink nails and hearts can be worn all year long! ;) 

What do you guys think?

Thanks loves :)

Cupcake Polish: Unicorn Collection Swatches

I am actually dying T.T 

The beautiful-ness of this collection is just over the top, call it love, call it whatever you want but I guarantee you, you NEED these gorgeous polishes in your life! That's right, I'm talking Unicorns, specifically the Unicorn Collection from Cupcake Polish. Don't believe me? Let the swatches speak for themselves <3


Imagine
A stunning teal jelly base packed with teal and silver holographic micro glitters. Formula is on the thicker side but that's to be expected with a micro glitter polish but it was extremely easy to work with. I want to note that the formula on all five of these were the same, so excuse me for being redundant LOL! This polish dries slightly textured so you will want a top coat for sure if you want that smooth shiny finish. Swatch below is two coats, yes TWO coats to get a beautiful full coverage finish, I DIE, with one coat of Seche Vite top coat. 


Magic
A peridot green jelly base packed with peridot green and silver holographic micro glitters. Formula is the same as the rest, thicker but definitely easy to work with. It will dry slightly textured so be sure to top coat to get that smooth and shiny finish. Swatch below is two coats with Seche Vite top coat. 


Wish
A medium/light pink jelly base packed with pink and silver holographic micro glitters. Formula is the same as the others and it will dry to a textured finish so make sure you add your favorite top coat to get that smooth and shiny finish. Swatch is two coats with Seche Vite top coat. 


Dream
A medium blue jelly base packed with blue and silver holographic micro glitters. Formula is the same as the others and dries slightly textured also so make sure you add a top coat if you want a smooth and shiny finish. Swatch is two coats with Seche Vite top coat. 


Believe
A beautiful purple jelly base packed with purple and silver holographic micro glitters. Formula is the same as all of the others and make sure you add a top coat because it will dry to a slightly textured finish. Swatch is two coats with Seche Vite top coat. 


These are SO SPARKLY! They are all so beautiful and I am so impressed by the formula. I rarely see a micro glitter that is completely opaque in two coats, if ever. Definitely happily impressed. 

My favorite would have to be Imagine, I'm just so into teal and mint colors lately and with the added holographic sparkle this is a must have for me. But honestly I think they are all must haves LOL!

Cupcake Polish retails for 13.00USD for a 15mL polish. You can buy these pretties and so many more at www.cupcakepolish.bigcartel.com. Stay up to date with new releases, coupons, and so much more by following:

What is a Tweexy?

Hi guys!

Long time no talk! The good news is that my boyfriend and I are all moved in to the new house and my nails are slowly recovering ;) 

While we were in the process of moving, a new company, Tweexy, reached out to me to see if I would give their new product a go. I was super intrigued because I mean, what the heck is a TweexyTweexy is, "The first and only spill-proof, finger-mounted nail polish bottle holder." Sounds cool right? I thought so too so I was more then happy to give it a try. The Tweexy currently comes in three different colors: Spa GreenSapphire Night, and Bonbon Pink. I received the Bonbon Pink. What I really like about the Tweexy is how easy it is to polish my nails when I'm not home. I do use it at home as well but now I can polish anywhere! The Tweexy is super sturdy and it eliminates the need for a flat surface to place your bottle on when polishing so you can polish almost anywhere! Let's see how well it works...


Cute packaging, interesting looking product. 


Claim on the side of the box, "Fits all bottles and fingers. No smudge spill drip." 


To use: Squeeze the tabs on the side of the Tweexy to open up the finger rings and place on any two fingers. Insert the bottle and polish away! Remove by squeeze the tabs and pulling off the fingers. 



I found that it fit quite comfortably on my fingers. I usually switch between my pointer and middle fingers and my middle and ring fingers. Both way are comfortable to me. The Tweexy is made out of silicone and it has a bit of weight to it so it takes a short while to adjust to but I quite like the look of it.



Super impressed, the bottle didn't budge at all when I turned my hand upside-down.



Fits mini OPI bottles as easily as regular sized bottles. 



Even fits different shaped bottles like my VS polishes with no problem. 



Overall: I am very impressed with this product. It's not often an innovative product comes along and blows me away but I think the Tweexy has the potential to become an essential nail polishing tool. Easy to use, fool proof instructions, and a quality product makes me sure that I will be using this every time I paint my nails. 

The Tweexy is available exclusively on Amazon.com and sells for $14.95USD. Just search Tweexy on Amazon to purchase. Want to know more? Visit www.tweexy.com for reviews and videos and to learn more about the history about this company. Stay up to date with everything Tweexy by following:
