An EPIC (and a very patriotic one) mosaic of NAILS!!

30 Jun

I wanted to give my thanks to many AMAZING nail artists who participated in my 4th of July’s mosaic project! Without you guys, this would not have been possible. I am hoping to be able to do another mosaic project for the month of August. Details will be posted soon on my Instagram account. Please click on the flag image – it will bring you to a bigger image where you can zoom in. I hope you like it!

Lacquerlicious’ Summer’s First Bloom

28 Jun

When I received Summer’s First Bloom by Lacquerlicious for review, my heart skipped a beat (in a good way!) Could this be? A lavender crelly packed with oh so colorful glitters? My purple loving heart leaped with joy and did cartwheels and went all “yes! yes!” on me.

PolishTBH’s Stackz Thermal

28 Jun

In addition to releasing her Summer Aquarium collection on July 1st, PolishTBH is bringing Stackz back and it’s bigger and better this time! It’s been reformulated to a thermal. Not just any thermal but this is a glitter packed jelly thermal. Jelly & thermal? Count me in!

Stackz is a deep emerald green jelly base with micro holographic glitters, green and gold dots, and different sized green and gold glitters. Are you ready for the fun part? Stackz turns a deep green jelly when cold and then nearly disappears when it’s warm. This is definitely very different from the other indie thermals out there.

Here’s Stackz when it’s exposed to warm elements.

PolishTBH’s Summer Aquarium collection is full of magic and beauty that one would see in an underwater world.

OPI’s Absolutely Alice

26 Jun

I had this HTF (hard to find) polish sitting in my untrieds for well… a little too long. When I heard one of my amazing friends from the nail community on Instagram had Absolutely Alice as one of her long-time lemmings. I told her that I would swatch this ASAP and send it to her because I knew, in my heart, the odds of actually using this polish again was very slim. Absolutely Alice deserves to go to someone just as amazing and that would be Drema of Stardust Polish.

Luscious Potion’s Thermals (from the Shifting Spring collection)

20 Jun

It’s my birthday today!! I am absolutely thrilled to be able to share with you guys these stunning thermals. I recently had the opportunity to swatch these four thermals from Luscious Potion’s Shifting Spring collection the past two days.

Talk about perfect timing: four A-M-A-Z-I-N-G thermal polishes + celebrating my birthday = the perfect birthday blog post if you ask me! 🙂

Anyway, these four thermal polishes all have a little touch of scattered holo dust to them. These colors are Sunshine Orchard, Vanishing Petals, Sky Meadow and Blooming Dreams.
