Press Sample Hi there! Just a quick swatch for today! Polish Pickup returns May 6th and you can grab polishes then. The theme is National Parks and Landmarks! I absolutely love national parks! I always grab a stamp from each park, a squished penny, and a vintage postcard. I absolutely love them! I have been to so many national parks and hope to hit them all up one day. KBShimmer Mixed Up Mango Hand & Body Scrub : $10, No Cap "Mixed Up Mango hand and body scrub is like a tropical retreat in a jar. Indulge in this lush scrub scented with ripe and slightly floral mango, tart yuzu and juicy lychee berries. A hint of watery cucumber accents the hints of sugary vanilla and coconut cream, for a refreshing scent-sation that will transition your mind and body to the tropics any time of the year." I love mango. It is just one of my favorite fruits! I guess this is like Hawaii's national park, cause why not? I love the scent and it is so fresh. I want this in a cuticle oil! KBSh

  Press Sample  So last week I did a manicure with a bunny donut and sprinkles. Well, it just did not turn out the way I wanted. I removed it and decided I wanted pale pink nails. Then I was like, hey, add some sprinkles, because why not?! So now, it's strawberry frosted donuts on my nails! YAY. So as I mentioned above, I loved how the nails looked with sprinkles, so I redid my entire manicure. The previous mani, I had a teal on. I didn't want that. I am in a total pastel mood! I love this pale pink from Jessica Cosmetics! And yes, I did end up googling a Dunkin strawberry donut so I could see the sprinkle colors!   Most of the colors were from Jessica Cosmetics. They just have such great pastels and I tend to reach for them all the time!

  Press Sample Oh man, I had high hopes for this art. I have another card inspiration and it was the cutest bunny donut. The design was adorable because Easter reminds me of sweets, sprinkles, and bunnies! Well, I may be too critical but this might be one for the fail pile. Of course, I like to share both. So I wanted to make the cutest donut and even outlined everything, yet, it still all looked smooshed. I started with a base of the teal creme as I wanted the white bunny to pop off the base. I drew the ears first so I made sure there was room for them, but I am not sure that was the right call. The other nails mimicked the sprinkles that were in the donut! Those nails came out great! I also do love the combination of these colors. They are so festive and perfect for spring.

  Press Sample  Sigh, life is not my nail friend lately! I keep having breaks (probably the fluctuating weather), my hectic work and class schedule, and I was just sick for a week. I have all these great ideas for nail art and I’m just not getting time to do them which is so disappointing because that is why I started this blog. I find myself only having time to do my nails once a week which is a total bummer. Anyway I got one Easter nail art on so let’s take a look at it.   If you’ve been with my blog long enough, you know that I take a lot of inspiration from cards. Yes the card we used to give people. In fact I still always give a card. Some of these cards are super gorgeous and they cost like 10 bucks and I have definitely gone to stores and taking pictures of these cards. So that’s the inspiration for today. For me Easter is about cute bunnies and chicks so why not put them on cupcakes? And why not have your cupcakes be green like Easter grass. This was just way too cute. Of cours

Hi all! So I finally have the KBShimmer Lounge Set swatched and ready to share. Honestly, I wanted to wait. I knew everyone would post the 2-3 before the release and my swatches would be lost in a sea in other swatchers. Second, this collection deserves love well beyond the first weekend release. Or maybe someone decided to budget to grab all of it!? Whatever the reason, I am here to share now! And if you didn’t see my nail art with these last month, check it out here ! From KBShimmer,  Lounging around is something many look forward to after a long workweek. On a day off, unset alarms allow for sleeping in, waking only to get ready for a laugh-filled brunch with friends. Soft socks, a good book, and snuggles with pets are just as appealing - if not more - than a night on the town. A warm drawn bath beckons, where a flickering candle, face mask, and healing crystals help center our minds and allow us to recharge. Taking time to enjoy the freedom of lounging around has inspired this nin
