Random NOTD's

Partial Press Sample

Back in 2012 when I first started blogging, there weren't that many indies, and there really wasn't a thing such a press samples unless you worked with a few of the major brands. We would post our NOTDs (Nails of the Day) and whatever art we did rather than swatches. So I figured I would show you what I've been wearing in between swatch fests and bring back the good ol' NOTD!

KBShimmer All the Bright Moves Smoosh Manicure with Stamping

Press Sample

Hi All! Do you ever have a manicure in mind that you want to do but keep forgetting?! I originally planned these for my birthday nails 3 weeks ago, but decided on Tie Dye! I finally got a chance to do these and eeee, I love them! I wore them to a Third Eye Blind last Friday and loved it. By the way, Third Eye Blind just started their summer tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of their debut album and it was amazing! I highly suggest going!

Literary Lacquers The Ocean at the End of the Lane Trio

Press Sample

Hello! I had a busy day today so I apologize for the late night post! I wanted to share the new Literary Lacquers trio that will be part of the brand's Grand Re-Opening. I'm kind of disappointed in myself that I haven't tried Literary Lacquers until now. I mean....I have two degrees in Literature and teach it. Shame on me! Well this trio is inspired by Neil Gaiman's The Ocean at the End of the Lane. I actually have this book waiting on my bookshelf! I absolutely loved reading Coraline  and listening to him speak, so I don't know what I'm waiting for!

Zoya Wanderlust Comparisons

Before I stash away the Zoya Wanderlust collection and focus on other summer collections, I wanted to share a few comparisons in this heavy pink collection. When Zoya releases so many colors, it's easy to say hmmmm, isn't that like this one? Well, I've done what I think are the closest colors so let's see who is a dupe!

Target June 2017 Beauty Boxes

Nothing to Disclose

Here's something a little different! I do enjoy a sub box every now and then but don't really like committing every month. I end up hoarding samples and toss them. I like Target boxes because I can see what's in them and pick and choose. I've skipped them for a while now, but grabbed June's boxes. Remember when these used to be free but then only included samples and coupons?! While these may not be available anymore, I thought I would share since every month, there's a new box (usually first Monday of each month).

Whoa whoa whoa. Calm your horses. It's my fifth blogging birthday, so I appreciate the balloons and confetti, but save some for next year :-P. Ok all, seriously. I can't bellieve it's been five years since I started this little blog! My first post was my birthday manicure and I've been keeping that tradition ever since! My birthday was 6 days ago, but it's a nice tradition. As usual, I was in a neon mood, so I went with tie dye!

Inspired by a Tissue Box? Abstract Dots and Floral Nail Art with KBShimmer

I took yesterday off as I was enjoying my birthday! My boyfriend surprised me with a mini trip to Atlantic City. We couldn't go far as I have another trip in just a few days (ack on Friday!). I'm actually still in Atlantic City, and wore this mani last week. So I think it's official--this might be the weirdest place I've found nail art inspiration: a tissue box!
