Manicure Monday

I'm on vacation in Tennessee and I found a Rite Aid so I can get some new polishes. 

Tonight I had some downtime and changed my polish so I could use one of my new Julie G polishes. I tried out Bikini. 

Such a summery manicure. I love it. 

I hope everyone has a good week. I know I will with this view.

I just can't get enough of Zoya's Magical Pixie Dusts. I bought three more during the Zoya Threedom event and only paid $12 for them. Here is my latest manicure using Vega. 

The blue cream color is Essie in the cab-ana which is one of my all time favorite colors. 

The Zoya Magical Pixie Dusts are very chunky and textured with amazing holographic glitters.  I just love to use these as accents on any manicure. My favorite is probably the silver color called Cosmo. I might have to buy a backup of that one.

A couple times a year Zoya will run specials on their website. Recently they had get three polishes free and pay $12 shipping. That's not their normal shipping price, just the price for the offer. I decided to take advantage of this offer and pick up some more magical pixie dust since I've been so obsessed with cosmo.

I love using these as an accent nail but I decided to have two accent nails in this manicure. 

I used Zoya Ginni and Zoya Dot. 

Later last night I found a picture on Instagram that was exactly the same but blue. They used Vega and Blu. I will probably do that manicure very soon.

Manicure Monday

I have people always tell me that my nails are always perfect. Not always.  Today is not one of my favorite manicures but thought I would show one of my mistakes. 

The glitter nails didn't turn out like I'd hope it would and I did a poor job with the pink nail polish. There are wrinkles that you can't see in the picture. Needless to say, I'm too tired to fix it tonight so I'm going to work on a new manicure tomorrow.

It's almost July which means the 4th is right around the corner. I have a few ideas of some manicures and wanted to share one of them with you. 

I recently bought some mini bottles of Formula X polish by Sephora and realized I had red, white, and blue polishes. I also wanted to use the white glitter that was in the set. 

I've been so excited to try out these polishes and so far I'm impressed. 

I love this white glitter. I thought it would look good over the blue and represent the stars on the flag. 

Check out my Facebook page or my Instagram for more manicures inspired by the 4th of July. 

What are your plans for the 4th?

I love trying new brands of polish and I just found another indie brand. Jessica Jean makes a line of polishes called frostings. They are a white crelly base with different colored and shaped glitters. I decided to try her strawberry frosting polish when she offered free shipping. 

The formula is so great and applied like a dream. I used two coats and a top coat. 

I wore this polish for 4 days and one of those days I was in a pool for most of the day. The polish wore very well with hardly any chipping. I'm very impressed with the quality of the polish and of course I love the color. 

What indie brand do you like?

Milani Baked Blush

Since summer started I've been looking for a peachy, bronze, glowy blush. Every time I went to a makeup store I was looking for something perfect but was disappointed every time. 

The other day I started going through my makeup to see what I had in my collection that I could put into my rotation. I saw a blush I bought back in the fall from Milani. I wasn't a huge fan of it and just set it aside in my drawer. 

I decided to try this again because it looked similar to what I was looking for. 

This blush was exactly what I was looking for. It was perfect. It made my skin look glowy like summer skin should look. 

I haven't used anything else since I picked this back up. The Milani baked blushes are pretty amazing. I find mine at Walmart and they are around $8 each. You should really check them out. You won't be disappointed. 

What is your favorite summer makeup product?
