China Glaze Let The Beat Drop

China Glaze Let The Beat Drop


Hello!  Today I have two polishes from the new China Glaze summer collection.  I picked up all three glitters and two of the creams from this collection.  I started with Treble Maker, a gorgeous green.  It went on in two coats and was smooth and opaque.  I added one coat of Let the Beat Drop.  It has nice coverage with just one coat.  Here's where my confusion started.  I just assumed the glitters were opaque so when it looked like I had purple glitter on my nails I was stumped.  You can see the bottle is orange and two shade of pink (I believe).  My nails clearly have what looks like purple glitter.  So I guess the glitters are actually a bit translucent and change with the base color.  Pretty interesting!

Born Pretty Store Stamping Plate Review

*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!

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!

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.
