Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer Review

*Press Sample*

Hey everyone!  I have three polishes from Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer to show you today.  Those of you that have been around a while know that Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer (BEGL) is one of my favorite indies so I'm always thrilled to show them off to you.

First up we have Grandpa, an off white creme with rose and gold microflakies (totally stole that description right from the BEGL site).  This is three coats and top coat.  For a white this was very well behaved.  I'm a sucker for a white polish so I'm loving this one.

Next up is Oy, Stupid Face!, a hot pink with blue/purple and blue/green flakies.  This is such a fun girly pink.  I used three coats and top coat for this one.

My final polish today is Mickey Smith. Defending the Earth, a hunter green linear holo with gunmetal flakies.  I love this one!!  This is two coats and top coat.  This wore like iron for several days.

Born Pretty Store Stamping Plate Review

*Press Sample*

Hey all!  I have another Born Pretty Store stamping plate to show you tonight.  This is plate BP-L003.  I used four different designs from the plate and stamped with black over A England Ascalon.  The designs picked up very well and transferred to my nail very easily.

Until next time...

Zoya Naturel Satins

*Press Release*

Hello!  I'm a little behind with posting some reviews so my focus this week is getting caught up.  I'm starting off with the Zoya Naturel Satins collection.  This is a transitional collection.  It's perfect for heading into spring, although here in the desert I feel like we are skipping over spring and headed right into summer.  The Satins are just that.  Satin finish polishes in nice neutral colors.  I used no base coat and two coats of polish for all the colors.  These were a bit tricky to work with at first but once I figured out what I was doing it was a lot easier.

Alright, there you have it.  What do you think?  Are you a neutral lover or are they not your thing?  I'm not big into neutrals but I love having some good quality ones for the times they are needed.  You can find these on zoya.com and be sure to give Zoya a like on facebook.

Until next time...

Born Pretty Store Stamping Plate Review

*Press Sample*

Hey all!  I have a Born Pretty Store stamping plate to show you today.  I used three different stamps from plate L006.  I love houndstooth so I was so excited to try this out.  I used the two larger patterns on the middle and ring finger then a plaid looking design with little tiny houndstooth on it.  Along with it being my first time using this plate it was also my first time using my new stamper.  It's super squishy and is going to take some getting used to.  You can see that for the most part I picked up the full images.  Unless you got right up close to my nails (like I'm showing you all) it really wasn't noticeable.



All in all I would recommend this plate.  Especially to someone who is a better stamper than me.  I need to get in some more practice with my new stamper.  You can find the plate here and everything else that Born Pretty Store has to offer here.  Don't forget code FEMJ61 will save you 10% on regular priced purchases.

Thanks for stopping by today!
