Glitter Placement and Stripes with KBShimmer Fall 2014 Collection

Press Sample

 

If you missed it, I posted swatches of three of the new KBShimmer Fall 2014 polishes HERE. I revisited these polishes on a very cloudy day and came up with some simple nail art. Glitter placement nails are really great for someone who loves the look of glitter but doesn't or can't wear full glitter nails, so check out my post below.

Faux Gradient with Serum No. 5 Samba-dy to Love

Press Sample

Do you ever want to do a gradient but you either don't have any makeup sponges or the normal tools to create a gradient? Maybe you don't want the mess? Well I've been doing these "faux" gradients when I forget my sponges or just want a super quick mani. You can achieve a similar look of a seamless gradient as long as you have a clear-based glitter top coat!

Bumblesoaps Bath and Body Review

Nothing to Disclose

I hope you don't mind a non-nail polish post today. I love using sugar scrubs because they are so moisturizing that I don't need lotion in the summer. In the winter, they scrub off all that dead skin. I found out about another homemade company, Bumblesoaps, and decided to place an order of a little bit of everything, and the items did not disappoint! I will warn you, if you are into bath and beauty, be careful of another company to obsess over! So grab some coffee and take a seat!

Born Pretty Dreamlike Animal Water Decals

When I saw these "dreamlike animal" decals, they immediately reminded me of vintage patterns from the 70s (even though I wasn't alive then). They are so cute, I can't handle it. The stonewashed colors give it a distinctive look so I thought I would brighten them up.

Born Pretty Iridescent Leaf Studs with Waterfall Nail Art

I love nail art studs. When I'm short on time for nail art and can't do anything complex, I throw on some studs. Remember how I amped up my monochromatic gradient? With some bright studs! I love the look of these iridescent leaf studs, which is perfect for autumn. Check out my pictures for more details.

KBShimmer is releasing a new collection today and the entire collection includes cremes, glitters, and holographic polishes that complement the autumn season.

Monochromatic Blue Gradient with X by Sephora TNT

My mom actually perused Sephora the other week and called to tell me they had a massive clearance. She always calls knowing I have so much polish. When she told me they had X by Sephora polishes for $2, I made her tell me all the ones they had. And TNT was one I always wanted! What a score. My boyfriend was enamored when I showed it to him, so I chose to wear it for his birthday last weekend.

Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer Siren Seashore

Today I have a simple NOTD and I really loved the way it came out! I miss using my texture polishes, and I always fall back in love with them every time I pull them out.

#EverySimpsonsEver Simpsons Nail Art Tribute

Oh hello there. Have you been holed up watching the Every Simpsons Ever marathon that has been going on for 12 straight days (552 episodes!) and ends tonight? While I obviously haven't watched them all, when the television has been on, it's been The Simpsons. I figured I couldn't let such an epic marathon end without a nail art tribute.
