Sunflowers with Elevation Polish

Nothing to Disclose

Lately, I've been wearing the life out of my Elevations. It sort of makes me feel I could dwindle down much of my stash in favor of Elevations, but we digress. Let's discuss some new Elevations I got and my sunflowers!

Daisy Nail Art with Red Dog Designs Flower Power with Cirque Colors

Nothing to Disclose

Continuing with the Spring Flowers theme, I decided that I wanted to pull out an old glitter made for me. I love daisy glitter! I wasn't in the mood for full on daisies, so I literally handpainted the glitter on some of my nails as accents!

Zoya Island Fun Collection Swatches and Comparisons

Press Sample

Ready for some delicious cremes? Today I have swatches of the new for summer 2015 Zoya Island Fun Collection. I already used these cremes in my doodle art HERE so here are the promised swatches! These cremes were all two coats and NO top coat because they dry super shiny. Let's see what Zoya has in store for this summer! And make sure you get to the bottom of the post where I compare this with other Zoya colors (you might be surprised!)

Orange Neon Ombre Stripes with Orly Nail Polish

Nothing to Disclose 

I have actually wanted to do something with these three nail polishes FOREVER! I've used each polish individually but I always looked at them as the perfect ombre/gradient. I love Orly nail polish and their Baked 2014 collection was almost perfection to me (and I've used two colors from that collection). Here was my solution to my orange neon predicament.

Whimsical Lollipop Flowers Nail Art

Nothing to Disclose

I have a file of  "manis to recreate" which I started probably in 2011 and well, haven't updated it since like 2013. Even so, I randomly looked through it and found this gorgeous Simply Rins manicure that is so simple and I always wanted to try it. As I continue with The Nail Challenge Collaborative's theme of Spring Flowers, I just needed to include these!

Abstract Doodle Recreation with Zoya Island Fun and Paradise Sun Collection

Press Sample

The Zoya Island Fun and Paradise Sun collection landed on my doorstep a few days ago and I immediately wanted to put them to use. Around the same time, Kelly from Set in Lacquer announced that she would no longer be blogging. Kelly is always amazing at nail art (probably most known for her gorgeous florals), so a bunch of us decided to recreate her beautiful looks!

Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer Once More with a Feeling Collection Partial Review

Press Sample


Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer is re-releasing her Buffy the Vampire Slayer-inspired collection with some new additions and I have a few to show you today! I love this show. When I was younger, I had a tiny TV in my room with just 11 channels and Buffy was on one of them! I used to stay up late just to watch Buffy! So for me, I love this collection. The three I have are soft holo polishes with lovely flashy shimmers that make them super unique. Check out more photos below and details about this collection.

Takko Lacquer Heart Shaped Box

Nothing to Disclose

Today I have a little swatch of Takko Lacquer Heart Shaped Box. This polish came out as a mystery polish around Valentine's Day. I didn't get it then because I'm not into mysteries, but picked it up during her sale last month because, why not?

OPI Graffiti Nail Art with To Be or Not to Beagle

Nothing to Disclose

Don't you love when art just comes together? I had put on a different nail polish and hated it. I removed it and sat with naked nails and boom, I see this untried glitter, and like I always do, decided to let the glitter inspire me! I went with a theme and used mostly OPI polishes.

Cherry Blossoms Nail Art with Zoya Nail Polish

Partial Press Sample

Good morning and happy Sunday! Today is Mother's Day so I thought I would show off some flowers! My mother actually doesn't really like flowers, but she loves my nail art! I love to come home and do my mom's nails when I can--for special events or just any time! It's nice to carve out time for mother-daughter time, so if you have a mother, make sure to do that (and not just for some silly holiday!). Ok, let's get to the details of the art!

Polished by KPT Bleeding Stars with Cirque Colors Electric Sky

Nothing to Disclose

I was a little cheeky with my polish choices for this manicure. I was heading to the car show a few weeks ago and wanted something a little flashy. Plus, the car show is all about showing off flashy cars, so glitter it is! And stars! YAS!

Abstract Galaxies with Hit Polish Cosmic Playdate

Nothing to Disclose
I know a lot of people are over glitter, but I still enjoy a great glitter mani every now and then. When I saw Hit Polish Cosmic Playdate, I know I wanted to play with the colors of the glitter and create something space-like for the theme of the polish.
