Julep Fina and Sarah

Sun

Hi everyone!  I said on facebook yesterday that I'd have a post up by Wednesday and lookie, lookie, it's Tuesday night.  I'm so proud of myself, just kidding!  Today I have two Julep polishes for your viewing pleasure.  Julep Fina is a blueish/silverish metallic.  It went on pretty smooth but messy.  I had a ton of clean-up.  This is two coats.  A more careful person could probably get away with one.  My accent nail is Julep Sarah.  Sarah is a pinkish red jelly glitter.  Downside is this is four coats.  It needs to be layered for me to fully love it.  It did dry really fast considering how many coats it is.

Sun.  Look at all that shine.

I don't know that Fina will ever be my favorite polish but I do like it.  I think it will work really well for stamping plus it would look really cool with a black lace design stamped over it.  Do you have a favorite Julep polish?  Mine is probably Robin right now.

Have a great day!

Strawberry Licorice from Sparkles by Julie


Good morning!  I have a quickie post today featuring a gorgeous polish.  Strawberry Licorice is a dark silverish polish with purple and holo glitters in it.  The picture is two coats of SL followed by a coat of Gelous and my Color Club topcoat.  The formula is really good.  Glitter came out with no problems.  You can find Sparkles by Julie on etsy or by clicking here.

I hope you all have a fabulous Wednesday.  Sorry this is so short but I have to get my boys packed for vacation.  Otherwise they'll be gone for a week wearing only what they had on when they left haha.

Zoya Gaia & kkcenterhk Water Decals


Shade

Hey Lacquer Lovers!  Sorry about the mini break in blog posts.  To kick start things tonight I have a manicure that I could wear everyday.  I adore white polishes.  This is three coats of Zoya Gaia.  Gaia is a sheer but build-able white with tons of gold shimmer.  It's soft, delicate and girly.  Hahaha not things I usually go for in a nail color.  I recently got some new water decals from kkcenterhk.com.  I just knew they would be perfect with Gaia.  These decals are super easy to use.  Just cut out the section you want, take off the top plastic then put it in some water.  After that the decal should come right off the backing.  The great thing about water decals is there is wiggle room.  You can slide the decal around until it's where you want it to be.  Dry it off then topcoat.  Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy as my 4 year old would say.
