Hi All! I said I would be back with some Zoya Charming art so here I am. I am really obsessed with this manicure!

I was browsing Wondrously Polished since she is floral queen and saw THIS manicure, and was immediately inspired to do a similar design with this Zoya collection. So let's see how I did this!

Winter isn't letting up! Last week, during my spring break, we had a blizzard! Luckily, we only got around 8-10 inches, unlike an hour north that got 30!! This gave me the inspiration for one last wintry mani and I wanted to incorporate the transition from winter to spring!

Hello! I survived the storm, by staying indoors and not leaving! I went outside on my balcony for a little but the wind created sideways snow and it wasn't fun. We only got around 10 inches, so we missed the huge storm. Hope everyone is safe! Anyway, I've got a simple layered dotticure for today to celebrate St. Patrick's Day!

Morgan Taylor Beauty and the Beast Collection, Swatches and Review

Press Sample

As a child born in the late 80s, Beauty and the Beast was my absolute favorite. Something with Belle resonated with me and I just loved her affinity for books (hello, I'm an English professor!), her yellow dress, her ability to see through "ugliness." So when the live action movie was announced, I was halfway between "YESSSSS" and "awww don't mess with my favorite." I don't think they chose the right Belle, but that's a whole other story. So Morgan Taylor had the chance to collaborate with the movie and I have the swatches for you tonight! I'll be back Monday morning with some themed art.

Girly Bits March CotM: Irish You Were Beer and They're After Me Lucky Charms

Press Sample

Oh hi March. I can't believe you're already here. I seriously don't understand where time goes. Anyone who is in the teaching/education profession measures time a bit differently. For me, it means midterms, which means the semester is half over, which means final grades soon and WHAT?! Ok, I'm stressing myself out. Let's talk about this gorgeous duo that is available, starting today.
