Up in Flames!

Good Morning Lovelies!

I feel as though it's been ages since I've done something "edgier" on my nails, but with Glam Polish lacquer names such as Devil in Disguise and Burning Love, I truly could not resist the temptation of having flames at my fingertips...

Forever After Floral

Hello Hello!

Today I have another manicure with a few of the soon to be released Glam Polish beauties. I've been dreaming of doing a floral such as this for a while and these polishes lent themselves perfectly to the task. So bright and fun with just the right amount of sparkle...

Colour Me Orange

Hi Everyone!

A few weeks ago I purchased some Colour Alike polishes for stamping. Out of the 13 polishes that I got, I ended up buying just one metallic beauty whose swatches caught my eye. Let me tell you, I'm now kicking myself for not getting the rest of their metallic stamping polishes because this beauty stamps like a dream! I am certain I will purchase them sometime soon, but for now I will have to pacify myself with this pretty named B. a Scary Pumpkin...

Polished by KPT The Basic Series Collection

Hi Everyone! Today I have a post for you which is a few days late, but hopefully better late than never. The Polished by KPT Basic Series Collection launched on Saturday and try as I might I could not find the time to post before the release and give these beauties justice they deserve. The collection features five creamy pastel thermals which are perfect for Spring. Don't let the collection name fool you, there is nothing basic about these thermals. The name implies that they purposefully lack any added glitter, shimmer or glass flecks to let your imagination roam and decorate as you please. I happen to think they are simply beautiful on their own...

Glam Polish Snoopy the Witch!

Hi Everyone! I am super tired from working all weekend, but I've still got enough energy to show you the fun Glam Polish glitter topper named Snoopy the Witch. It is one of the Halloween Limited Edition polishes which will be available for pre-order on the 17th. Inspired by the colors of the glitter in this bewitching mix, I decided to pair it up with a matching gradient...

Neon Parrot...

Feels like forever since I've actually done any sort of nail art so I'm rather excited to have something new to share with you. I have been seeing everyone showing off their dry brush manicures (which I believe all started with this gorgeous manicure by Chalkboard Nails). I thought I'd give this look a try as well. I kept it as random and messy as possible and totally love it. The bright neon colors that I used reminded me of parrots, so here we are with what might possibly be the brightest pirate themed manicure I've seen...

Neons by OPI!

Hi Everyone! Sorry for such sporadic posting recently. There is nothing worse than having lots of beautiful polish to show you and very little time to do. I hope to return to my regularly scheduled posting soon. ;)

Today I would like to show you Neons by OPI. I was so excited for these beauties because it is not often that OPI releases such bright shades. Actually, I believe these are their first ever full-sized neons and they are now part of the permanent line which is so awesome. These are just perfect for the sunshine and summertime...

Polished by KPT Do You Wanna Fanta?

Yesterday I showed you swatches of the pretty new summer thermal from Polished by KPT named Do You Wanna Fanta?. With a name like that, is it any surprise that I just couldn't resist throwing a few citrus slices into the mix?

Polished by KPT & Serum N°5 Summer Fling Collaboration Shades Review...

While I was out gallivanting around Japan and Taiwan, the ladies of Polished by KPT and Serum N°5 were hard at work collaborating on a fun summer duo. I was so excited to come home to these two beauties waiting for me that they became my first two manicures after a month of nakie nails. These lacquers are part of a Summer Fling collaboration box which also includes a cuticle oil and some nail art accessories.

Zoya Tickled and Bubbly Swatches and Review

Hi Everyone! Today I would like to share with you my review of the Zoya Tickled and Bubbly collections which were recently released for the Summer season. The tickled collection features six bright full coverage creams while the Bubbly collection is made up of six glittery beauties.

Since the two collection seems to have matching cream and glitter shades, I chose to test the Bubbly shades as toppers over their (in most cases) matching Tickled shades. Although I would usually split the two collections into separate posts, I wanted to make it easier to compare how the topper changed the base color. For that reason prepare yourselves for a photo heavy post...

OPI Major League Baseball Collection Swatches and Review...

Hi Everyone! Today I have another OPI collection to show you. This is the Limited Edition OPI Major League Baseball collection. It features 7 lacquers inspired by the sport with fun names to boot and aims to give the female fans of the sport something fun to sport (no pun intended) on their nails while cheering for their favorite team...

Fiery Tigress...

A few days ago MoYou London, the makers of some pretty amazing stamping plates, launched a challenge in celebration of reaching 10K followers on Instagram. The challenge is to create manicures using MoYou stamping plates that go along with their daily prompts. At the end of the month winners will be picked to receive some new stamping plates. Life is a bit too hectic right now to take take on the full challenge, but I will try to join in and create a manicure or two when I get a chance...

The prompt for yesterday was Animal Print. I happened to still be wearing the Kiss My Tan, the gorgeous fiery metallic orange by Dazzle Dry so I thought of tigers. Oh my!...

Dazzle Dry Beach Ready Summer 2014 Collection Swatches and Review...

Hi Everyone! Summer is so close, I can feel it. These past few days in Seattle have been just absolutely gorgeous and I've been loving these bright and sparkly shades on my nails. This beautiful collection is Dazzle Dry Beach Ready which launched yesterday for the summer season. It features four bright creams and two glass fleck loaded sparkly beauties...

OPI Brazil Swatches and Review...

Hi Everyone! This post has been a long time in the making, but I finally got a chance to process all the photos and I'm excited to show you the beautiful OPI Brazil collection released for the Spring/Summer season. The collection includes both neutral and bright creams which are just perfect for the summer days ahead. The Brazil collection also includes a set of four bright and colorful mini liquid sand Beach Sandies shades. This post is long and photo heavy so consider yourselves warned :)...

Barielle Vibrants Collection Swatches and Review!

Hello All! :)

Today I would like to show you the Barielle Vibrants collection. This is the second half of the spring release and features six gorgeous bright cream shades. In case you missed the softer Velvets half of the collection yesterday, you can check it out here...

El Corazon Shine of Jewels

Hi Everyone! Today I would like to show you nail art that I created recently while I was swatching an El Corazon beauty. Although I didn't have anything specific in mind when I started out, I was mesmerized (and I'll show you why) by a dragon featured on the bottle label. I picked a stamping design that reminded me of dragon scales and embellished from there...

Sunday Stamping: The Great Thanksgiving Heist...

Is seems like ages since the last time I participated in a Sunday Stamping challenge for the group Adventures in Stamping. With the holidays quickly approaching, this week's theme is Thanksgiving or Winter nails. I chose to go with the Thanksgiving theme and I'm happy to present my manicure to you. I have affectionately been referring to it as "The Great Thanksgiving Heist"...

Nicole by OPI Modern Family Winter 2013

Hi there! Today I would like to show you the five new Nicole by OPI Modern Family shades added to the collection this holiday season. You can see swatches of the full collection, which was released in the beginning of this year, here and here. The holiday release features three metallic shimmer shades and two glitter toppers to get you into the holiday spirit...

Incoco Fright Night...

Today I would like to show you another beautiful set of nail polish appliques from Incoco. These nail wraps named Fright Night are namesake for the Incoco Fright Night Halloween collection this year. These are perfect for some quick nail art to get you in the holiday mood...

Sunday Stamping: Autumn

Today it is time for the Sunday Stamping challenge in Adventures in Stamping. The theme today is Autumn nails. I've got just a quick manicure to show you. I didn't create it specifically for the challenge, but it happened to fit the theme and I since I have not had time in the past few days to play around with nail polish and create something new, I figured I would share this one...
