Nudie Ruffian

Sometimes simple is the best thing you can do.

Don't get me wrong I love crazy fun colors and intricate and beautiful designs but sometimes I like the simple and clean look of a natural manicure, like this one!

I started off with a base of OPI Alpine Snow and when it dried I painted the ruffian using a small nail art brush and Colors By Llarowe Hot Buttered Rum. I sealed it all in with some Seche Vite to finish off the look!

I absolutely LOVED wearing this look! So simple, so pretty! It was nice to take a short break from color and do something like this, I don't think I use these colors near enough.

What do you guys think?

Thanks loves :) 

For the Love of Dogs

I think I'm starting to come off as one of those crazy dog ladies..... well I mean I AM, but it's still cute right? LOL. But for real, the Furry Best Friends plate from UberChic Beauty is the ISHHHHH. I  just can't help but use it!

For this look I started off with a base of Bear Pawlish Peek A Boo!.When it dried I stamped over each nail using the Furry Best Friends plate from UberChic Beauty and a Black Stamping polish from Born Pretty Store. I sealed everything in with some Seche Vite and that was it! 

I love how this came out, and I love how easy it was to create even more! 

What do you guys think?

P.I.N.K

Hi guys!

Sorry I've been a bit MIA lately, if you follow me on Instagram (@pinkandpolishednails) then you would have seen that we welcomed a new puppy into our home this past weekend! So I've been a bit busy with him... actually he's chewing on my laptop as I'm typing this LOL! 

Anyways, let's get to the nails!

When I got the Puppy Love plate from UberChic Beauty this image totally reminded me of the Victoria's Secret PINK dog! So...... why not create some?! 

I started off with a base of OPI Alpine Snow. When it was dry I stamped over each nail using the Furry Best Friends plate from UberChic Beauty, and China Glaze Glow With the Flow. I sealed them all in with NYC Matte Me Crazy for a matte look and then added some rhinestones along my cuticle and that was it!

I love this look! It came out a bit lighter in the photos then it was in real life but regardless, still cool!

What do you guys think?

Thanks loves :) 

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? ;) 

Hot Buttered Rum

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. 

Santa Baby

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. 

Plum Perfect

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.  

Berries in the Snow

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!
