Zoya Magical Pixie Dust for Summer 2014

*Press Sample

Hello everyone!  Today I have the new Zoya Magical Pixie Dust polishes for summer 2014.  This is my first time using the Pixies with the holo glitter in them.  I did just want the instructions said, no base coat and no top coat.  I have to say that these all applied really well.  I used three coats for all three polishes.  Each polish has a sun picture followed by a shade picture.

Let's start with my favorite of the three.  This is Ginni.  I just loved all the sparkles on my nails while I was wearing this.

Next we have Bar, a nude take on a texture polish.

Lastly we have Arlo.  This had the most color in the base of the three.

So for my first foray in to the Magical Pixie Dust polishes I'm pretty impressed by how easy they were to apply.  You can find these on Zoya.com and stay up to date with Zoya happenings on their facebook page.

Until next time...

Born Pretty Store Stamping Plate Review

*Press Sample*

Hey guys!  I have a stamping plate from Born Pretty Store to review for you all today.  I started out with a base of Mentality Orgasmic which I received in a secret swap from a lovely lady.  Then I used my go to black stamping polish, Wet n Wild Black Creme to stamp this very pretty flower pattern from plate QA27.  I have to say that this plate worked really well.  Other than on my ring finger where you can see the inside of a flower is missing it stamped amazingly well.  The missing flower part probably has more to do with me than with the plate.  I'm still working on this stamping thing for sure.

So I have to say for $2.99 this plate is worth it.  Here's the link for the plate and here's a link to Born Pretty Store.  Don't forget off to the right is a discount code, FEMJ61, that will save you 10% on regular price items.   Have a great day!

Until next time...

KBShimmer NOTD

*Purchased by me*

Hey all!  I found this mani from forever ago in my photo files.  I can't believe I forgot to share it.  I started off with a base of KBShimmer Turbulence.  It dries matte but I love it with topcoat.  After that was dry I used a chevron strip from Nail Vinyls and used KBShimmer I'd Rather Be With Blue.  These polishes were basically made to be worn together.

I hope you all really like this mani.  Have a great day!

Until next time...

Born Pretty Store Nail Studs Review

*Press Sample*

Hello!  Today I have my first attempt at nail studs to show you.  I received these cool blue leaf studs from Born Pretty for review.  Since I had never used them before I decided to go simple for my first time.  My next conundrum was how to put them on and what to use to make them stick.  I dug around in my bin of random nail art stuff from the days of Nail Art Society (think that was the name) and found some tweezer type things that worked for picking up the studs.  I put down a layer of topcoat then placed the stud on the nail.  I love they way this turned out so much.  It took a very simple mani of China Glaze Shore Enuff and First Mate and amped it up a notch.

I think I didn't push them down enough into the topcoat so they popped off pretty quick.  I've been advised to try some nail glue next time buy some very smart ladies.  Born Pretty has all sorts of nail art supplies.  Click the link to head over to their store front.  If you'd like to go directly to the nail studs click here.  I have a discount code for Born Pretty one the right side of the blog.  The code is FEMJ6 will save you 10%.  Here's a link for a great sampling of everything they offer.

Until next time...
