Have you tried any of the gel-like systems that are so popular right now? I have tried and reviewed several in the past and today I will be showing off The System XCEL by Sephora. When I saw that Influenster was looking to send out boxes containing nail polish I jumped at the opportunity!
Today I am showing off some beautiful polishes by Australian-based indie maker, Lilypad Lacquer. I received a swatch pack with an assortment of polishes and as excited as I was to put them on, the quality of the polishes and their lovely finishes have me really excited to share my conclusions about these polishes as well!
You may or may not have noticed that I went on hiatus for the summer. Sorry about the lack of notice – it wasn’t something I had planned on, but between my daughter being home for summer break and adopting a new puppy to house train, play with and cuddle, I decided to put my nails on the back burner.
I just realized it’s been the better part of a month since my last blog entry! It doesn’t feel that long – probably because I have had so much going on this month. It’s definitely time for a breather, so here we are! The polish I am reviewing today was a happy surprise from my Allure Beauty Box this month – I canceled my box subscription, so this was the last one I will get. It’s from a new-to-me brand and I am in love!
I don’t often use charms on my nails, but I simply couldn’t resist these adorable little starfish charms from LadyQueen.com. Check out my review and and the mani I created with them after the break!
It’s been a while since I reviewed any stamping plates, but I was sent the JQL-01 stamping plate by LadyQueen.com. A large portion of my nail art involves stamping, so I really like to try out new tools. Check out my full review and some stamped manicures below!
Today I am reviewing a water slide decal provided to me by LadyQueen.com. I found the muted colors in this adorable floral pattern really appealing! Check out my review and the manicure I created using these decals below.
Have you tried this kind of clear stamping head yet? Aside from the obvious ability to see your placement more easily, these neat stampers have some other advantages as well. LadyQueen.com sent me their clear stamper for review and I ran it through the wringer!
Earth Day 2016 is quickly approaching – a time to take stock of the footprint you leave on the planet and what you can do to make things better. As a nail polish collector, disposing of unwanted nail polish can sometimes be a challenge. Luckily, Zoya has kicked off their annual Earth Day special (you can read about it here) to help with this problem. If you are having trouble deciding which Zoya polishes you would like to add to your collection, check out a few of my favorites!
While I love indie and boutique brands of polish, I still keep a watch out for interesting or unique drugstore nail polish. This week, while browsing Walgreens, I spotted a gorgeous new polish from Revlon called Daydreamer and I immediately snatched it up. Let me show you why!
