*Press Sample*
Hello! I have a quick post today reviewing a Born Pretty Store stamping plate Qgirl-027. I struggled with this plate because the images are so big. Now you guys have seen my nails. I have good sized nail beds albeit a bit curved. I was only able to get partial images on my nails. So I went back and forth on how to do it. I went with just some half images. There were a few images that refused to come up off the plate. These two I used came up very well. I used a black cream polish to stamp over Girly Bits Stormy Skies.
You can find this plate here on bornprettystore.com. Remember to use code FEMJ61 to save 10% on regular priced purchases. Thanks for stopping by.

OPI Infinite Shine Review
*Press Sample*
Hi guys! I have six polishes from the OPI Infinite Shine line to show you today. Infinite Shine is a three step process. First is the Primer, then the Infinite Shine polish and lastly the Gloss top coat. This gives you the look and long wear of gel polish without the special light to cure it and removal process. These were all super shiny and done with two coats of polish. I feel like there was a bit of a learning curve with these, at least for me. On the first few when I put on the top coat it was dragging around the polish a bit. By the end I seemed to have it under control. So lets move on to why your here, the pictures!
OPI Infinite Shine Tanacious Spirit
OPI Infinite Shine Grapely Admired
OPI Infinite Shine Steel Waters Run Deep
OPI Infinite Shine We're In The Black
OPI Infinite Shine Never Give Up!
OPI Infinite Shine No Stopping Me Now
Never Give Up and No Stopping Me Now are my favorites of these. A brown as one of my favorites, I know you're as shocked as I was. There are 30 shades in this line so there is a little something for everyone. Check out opi.com for more info. These are available now at all the normal places OPI is available. Be sure to like them on facebook for more updates.
Thanks for stopping by today!

SinfulColors Spring Fever 2015 Review (partial)
*Press Sample*
Hey all! I have a few polishes to show you today from SinfulColors. These are from their spring 2015 offerings. The five polishes I have today are all meant to be layered.
First up is Prized Plume layered over a black cream. Just one coat gave me this gorgeous blue shimmer. So much love for this!
This is one coat of Flight to See layered over a black cream. Oh my goodness you guys! This was amazing in person. I think this may be my next pedi choice.
Next is Sheer Flight layered over a black cream in the first photo. In the second one it's layered over OPI Lost My Bikini in Molokini. It's amazing how different it looks layered over the purple.
The next polish is from the Citrus Twist collection. It's Ring the Belini layered over China Glaze Orange You Hot on two nails and a black cream on the others.
Lastly I have one of my favorites. This is Horizon Shine layered over OPI Go With the Lava Flow. I love the added sparkle it gives Lava.
These polishes are available now and retail for $1.99. You can find more information about the collections at sinfulcolors.com. Be sure to give them a like on facebook too. Thanks for stopping by and reading today. Have a great one!

OPI Hawaii Collection
*Press Sample*
Hello! I'm so excited for today's post. I have the OPI Hawaii collection for you. This is a 12 piece collection so I'm going to dive right in. Our weather here has been a little off so I tried to get a sun and shade picture for each polish but some have just a shade shot because it was overcast.
First up is OPI Do You Take Lei Away. This is two coats and top coat. The formula was very good, easy to control and very even. I have perfect mannequin hands when I wear this.
This is OPI Suzi Shops & Island Hops. This needed three coats to be opaque and even. The formula and application are about what you expect with pale pinks.
Here is OPI Is Mai Tai Crooked? Surprisingly I loved this one. It's a nice soft orangey color. I used two coats and top coat for the photos. Fantastic formula for this.
This is OPI Aloha From OPI. This was super smooth and easy to apply, two coats and top coat made it perfect.
Here is OPI My Gecko Does Tricks. This one needed three coats to even out. As you can see it is a bit brush strokish but not anything super terrible.
OPI Hello Hawaii Ya? is one of my favorites from this collection, a nice dusty purple. I used two coats and top coat for this.
Next is OPI This Color's Making Waves. I love this polish! I needed three coats for it to be opaque. It was hard to capture all the shiny goodness of this one.
OPI Pineapples Have Peelings Too! is an odd duck of a polish. I like the base color but it has brush stroke issues as well. The little glitters came freely out of the bottle. I had to work a bit harder for the larger pieces. I used three coats and top coat.
Next up is OPI That's Hula-rious!, a nice pale minty green. Like the pink above this one needed three coats to fully even out. Totally worth it because it's so pretty.
This is OPI Just Lanai-ing Around. I used two coats for this polish. It has a lovely shimmer to it.
Lastly we have my favorite of the bunch, OPI Go With the Lava Flow. Great formula and application. Two coats and it was perfect. I love a good shimmer.
Whew! That was a long one. Thanks for sticking with me and checking them all out. The Hawaii collection is out now and available at the usual places, Sally's, Ulta etc. Be sure to give OPI a like on facebook to stay up to date.
Have a great day guys! I appreciate you stopping by and reading.

F Alphabet Mani
Hey all! I have another mani from the alphabet mani challenge I'm doing in one of my facebook groups. This week is brands that start with F. I chose Finger Paints You Yacht Too Know Better and a long discontinued indie brand, Feenix Polish Shake Your Tail Feathers. I miss Feenix polishes. They were always such pretty glitters and they still look just like they did when I got them.
Thanks for stopping by guys. Have a great night!

Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer Void Stuff
Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer Void Stuff |
Hey all! I know I've shown you this before but I wore it again and just couldn't resist showing it off for a second time. This is two coats of Void Stuff and and accent nail of Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer She's Electricity. I used some Nail Vinyls to add a nail art flare. Haha that's about as flare as I get.

Quickie post today but I hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time...

Essie In the Cabana
Essie In the Cabana |
Hey all! In one of my nail groups we are doing an alphabet mani challenge. Each week we do a different letter. This week is E so I went with Essie In the Cabana, a favorite of mine. I love turquoise and coral together so much that I added a coat of Kiara Sky Koral Kicks. I adored wearing this mani. It was rainy and gross this day making for a dark photo. Sorry about that!
Until next time...
Sara
