Manicure Monday

Ulta has been having amazing nail polish clearance lately and I may have bought a few. Especially some new Zoyas including this beauty named Margo. 
Such a pretty color and it was very opaque. Almost a one coater. If you wanted, you could wear this for a day and then add a little glitz to spruce up a manicure. 
I used Essie Carnival. 
I also got a compliment on this manicure today while I was shopping at Gap. I secretly love getting compliments on my nails. Makes me feel pretty awesome!

Manicure Monday

I recently found Deborah Lippmann polishes at TJ Maxx. Retail price is $18-$20 each and I paid $6.99 each. I went a little crazy and bought all that they had. I've had so much fun playing with these and I'm slowly swatching each one. 
This one is so gorgeous. 
Let's Go Crazy is a purple jelly base with multi colored glitter. This polish was opaque in 2 coats. I love how squishy it looks. I really love this polish. 

I've been playing around with a new macro lens so here are a few more shots of this polish. 


I hope you enjoyed these pictures.

Manicure Monday

I'm back. I decided to take a few weeks off for the holidays. This first manicure of 2015 is a polish a student bought me for Christmas. She is such a sweetie. 
This is OPI Russian Navy. 
It's a blue polish with purple shimmer. It's a blurple type color. I only used one coat for this manicure. I'm really impressed with the formula. I'm so glad she picked this out for me. 
I hope everyone had a great Christmas and I wish everyone a Happy New Year!

I have a special manicure for a special day. Tomorrow is my birthday and I think this manicure is very fitting. 
This is Deborah Lippmann Happy Birthday over Salley Hansen Black Out. This was my first Deborah Lippmann and I love it. This glitter polish is so easy to use. 
I hope everyone has a good week.

Manicure Monday

On Black Friday, I decided to take advantage of some indie nail polish sales. I love Polish by Jessica Jean and she was having a killer sale. I ended up getting three polishes. 

Candy Cane Disco, Black Friday Frosting, and Christmas Lights

First I used Christmas lights and put it over Sally Hansen Wedding Glitters (a gold color). This was so sparkly and pretty. 

Today I tried Candy Cane Disco over Sally Hansen Celeb City (a silver color). The glitters in this one are so pretty!  It catches the light and sparkles like you wouldn't believe. Check out the silver holographic glitters!!!

I haven't tried Black Friday Frosting yet but I have a few other polishes from the frosting collection and they are all fantastic.

Manicure Monday

I know I talk about this brand a lot but I can't help that Glitter Lambs is so awesome. She keeps coming out with new Christmas polishes. I ordered a few more. Mainly because I helped name them. She asked for ideas one day on facebook and she used a few of mine. 
The first one is a pretty blue glitter mix. I put this over Sally Hansen Breezy Blue. It also came with a bag of blue hearts. I also love this polish over silver. Looks a little "Frozen" inspired. 

The next polish is one of my favorites. Grinch Dust over a green polish. It's so densely packed with such beautiful glitters. 
I just love this one. 

She still has tons of Christmas polishes for sale in her shop so go check them out.

Here is a bonus picture. My Thanksgiving manicure. Glitter Lambs Pumpkin Spice. This one is still for sale too.

Manicure Monday

Winter collection are coming out everyday right now. Blue nail polish is a favorite of mine and one was catching my eye from KBShimmer. Snow Way is a light blue jellyish polish with white glitters and a gorgeous shimmery glitter running through it. 
KBShimmer doesn't disappoint with any of the polishes I've tried so far. Very nice quality and gorgeous colors. 
I also decided to try a cuticle oil pen. I'm trying to take better care of my cuticles so I thought I would give it a shot. They have holiday scents out right now and I chose peppermint. So far I'm loving it. I've only used it a couple of times but so far so good. It's not super greasy feeling and absorbs nicely. The smell is amazing. 
To check out their winter collection and other products they offer head to their website.
