Nothing to Disclose Hi all!  You've probably seen tons of swatches of the new China Glaze Electric Nights neon collection. Well here are my pics for the neon collection and when I saw them together, I immediately thought WATERMELON! These polishes are so eye-searing, so if you love neons, you need this collection!  I started with a white base of polish. You do NOT need a white base when wearing these polishes alone but since I was doing nail art, trying to layer the red over the green and vice versa would have created a weird muddy color.  After the white dried, I used the polish brush to paint the majority of my nail with Red-y to Rave. Then I used a striping brush to create the watermelon skin with Treble Maker, leaving a bit of the white for the watermelon rind. Lastly, I added one coat of the multi-colored neon glitter Point me to the Party for the "seeds."  Neon Watermelon Nail Art with China Glaze Electric Nights Collection, sun Neon Watermelon Nail Art with China G

Press Sample Now that the Zoya Earth Day promo has been announced (details HERE ), I figured I would share the amazing Zoya Naturel Satins. April has been particular warm OR cloudy so these polishes are perfect. I'm still in a neutrals type of mood and these polishes fit the bill. I am so in love with the Zoya Naturel Satins, and today I have a full comparison of the entire Zoya Satin collection.  Zoya Naturel Satins Collection: Swatches, Review, and Comparisons! First: All these polish dry down to a satin finish. It is not matte, but more satin/rubbery. The longer it dries, the more rubbery it looks. It also looks fantastic with top coat. Zoya Ana: 3 coats. I love this neutral. It actually makes my hands tan and I really enjoyed wearing it alone. Just perfect for my skin. Zoya Ana Zoya Ana Zoya Brittany: 2 coats.  Brittany was actually my least favorite. It just doesn't work with my skin tone. Brittany is much more pink/mauve compared to Ana.

Nothing to Disclose I have a super simple Elevation Polish manicure today with one of the special Yetis from last year. I love the Yeti series and I appreciate that it's not every month so only super special ones are released. Check out my full Elevation look today!  Elevation Polish Con Tanto Affetto, Yeti I started with my favorite type of Elevation Polish--low density holos with darker flecks. I feel like Elevation does them so well; did you see Cloud Peak from this month? It will be mine! Anyway, I started with a base Shilin Stone Forest which is a grey polish with black flecks (and still available to purchase HERE ). Then I added a "faux" gradient of Malaspina Glacier SBP (I got it as a SBP but it is now a Llarowe exclusive; I am not sure if they are identical). After a few minutes, I dabbed on a coat of Con Tanto Affeto, Yeti. I like to dab my glitters because I'm crazy about my glitter placement. It does spread nicely and tons of hearts came out. Con Tanto is a

Nothing to Disclose Did you get your half off Peeps yet?! There's still time haha. Peeps are sugary and kind of disgustingly sweet but mmmm, so good at the same time. I just had to have them on my nails! Peeps Marshmallow Nail Art  I saw a sneak preview of @sealorepolish's peep manicure and I immediately wanted to do one! I used a base of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls and then used a variety of OPI and Zoya cremes to create the chick and bunny marshmallow treats. Before I finished the manicure, I used the same cremes to add random dots. I'm still wearing this manicure. I need to get some Peeps! I topped it with one coat of Seche Vite (no smears!)

Press Sample It's officially spring and although it doesn't full like it, I have some pretty full nail water decals to show you. In fact, it's a set of 5 and you can mix and match, so the nail art ideas are endless! Born Pretty Full Nail Water Decals Born Pretty Full Nail Water Decals Today I have some full nail water decals. As you can see above, this comes in a set of five and I chose a floral one with brushstrokes. To apply these, you cut out the design, soak in water, and remove the decal from the paper. Always choose bigger. The thumb decal looks huge, but it basically shrinks on the nail. You lay down the decal and let it dry. I got impatient and blow dried it--not sure if that helped. Then I filed the excess off (the kit comes with a wood stick and file) and used remover to get rid of the excess. My issue was the dry time made me so impatient. If you are used to using nail stickers, this might be awesome for you. But these seemed to take me FOREVER. Three nails was e

Quickie post here! I meant for it as a random dotticure, but it was actually kind of cute for today! So check it out! Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday weekend! Easter Egg Dots with Cirque Colors Nordstrom Exclusives I started with three coats of Elevation Yeti Hugs: Feels So Close. The formula was not the best but it is white and it is so beautiful! Then I took the four new Cirque Nordstrom Exclusive holo polishes: Plur, Sun Dog, Twilight, and Flash and did random dots. I thought it came out pretty cute! I love these new neon Cirque holos. They are apparently UV reactive so I will do proper swatches soon! They are SO neon! One coat of top coat to seal it all in.
