Press Sample 

Hey ya!! So if you didn't know, I'll be attending Indie Expo Canada in Toronto in 8 days! I'll be attending as press, working with Girly Bits, and hosting a tutorial table! Yes, all that in one day! There will be three limited edition polishes from Girly Bits, and two will definitely be available for purchase later on, but if you want these, ask a friend to grab for you! (Don't ask me, haha, I'm not reliable with everything I'm doing that day!

I'm excited to go to Toronto. I used to go twice a year up until I was like 16. Then family vacations got more diverse. But I'm very excited to road trip up there and enjoy some Canadian summer!

6 Harts Into the Cave, June Polish Pickup

Press Sample

I love grey polish. I feel like I'm always saying that about colors, but I really do love lime green, corals, and greys. So when Courtney of 6 Harts told me her PPU polish was grey, I was so excited. Into the Cave is based on a game Hunt the Wumpus, which was way before my time. I'm clueless, but it's grey, so go me!

Girly Bits Put Your Strap On, June Polish Pickup

Press Sample

Everyone has been super creative with their interpretations of video games for Polish Pickup. Today, Girly Bits is sharing their polish Put Your Strap On (bigggg lol) inspired by the Wii and the controls that you're supposed to use with a safety strap, LOL. I remember when the Wii came out and everyone would chuck their controller and break stuff, hence, Put Your Strap On!

Alter Ego Vegas Gift Giver, June Polish Pickup

Press Sample

Video games are not my thing. I got a NES when it was re-released but I play basic Mario from my childhood. Cynthia of Alter Ego also isn't into video games. But there's a computer game called MyVegas which helps you earn credit to get free things to Vegas. I did play that, and with Cynthia! I don't play it anymore really, but I used those credits in Vegas for free meals and show tickets! I highly suggest it if you plan on going to Vegas!

Pusheen Box, Spring 2018 Unboxing

Nothing to Disclose

I'm here with my last Pusheen box! This was an excellent birthday gift, as it lasted all year! I haven't decided whether or not to continue the subscription, but I've really enjoyed opening these! This Spring 2018 box was extra special, because I think it was the inaugural box so this is a birthday box! This is awesome, because my birthday is in two weeks, so it's like MY birthday box haha.

Morgan Taylor Make a Splash Collection, Swatches and Review

Press Sample

There's been a serious deficit of neons and neon collections this summer, and Morgan Taylor is here to the rescue. I actually don't often wear plain neon nails, but I LOVE neons for nail art and pedicures. The Make a Splash collection is awesome. If you remember, I shared some neon geometric art last week that I wore for 7 days with no chips! Neons normally don't have great formulas, but woo hoo for this collection!

Zoya Sunshine Collection for Summer 2018, Swatches and Review

Press Sample

Zoya's newest collection is called Sunshine, which is their newest summer collection. When I think sunshine, I think rich oranges and yellows, and well, that's not this collection one bit. The Sunshine Collection is very much geared in a pink and red motif, but if those are your colors, then you want to check out this collection.

I'm here with a new batch of Polish Pickup polishes for June. This month is video game themed and KBShimmer went with vintage arcades (lol at me calling it vintage) when you insert coins! Fun! I remember strolling San Francisco at the famous penny arcade and feeling nostalgic.

My darling got us Mets tickets and so we went yesterday and of course, any time I can do themed art, I go for it! The Mets lost horribly and the weather was atrocious but we had an excellent time!

Beauty Big Bang Chameleon Flakies

Press Sample

 

I feel like I could never get enough of these chameleon flakies. Give them to me in all the colors ever! I've been really feeling these over lighter colors, but for this round, I reverted back to a darker color and did a side by side so you can choose!

Alter Ego Fan Favorites Collection, Swatches and Review

Press Sample

Today I have Alter Ego's newest collection, The Fan Favorites. It was named in her Facebook fan group, so it's nice that they contributed. There's a variety of finishes, which I think the fan also voted on! So let's get to this 6 piece collection that's available now! Plus, say hi to my shorties! It feels nice to chop them off and grow them out all over again while my right index nail heals.

Neon Geometric Nail Art with Morgan Taylor Make a Splash

Press Sample

Hi all! I really needed that weekend off! Here's the art I promised! I currently have six summer collections waiting to be swatched and shared with you! I knew I wouldn't have time due to my semester ending, but I did these nails on Monday, May 7th and literally JUST took them off! Yessss to a week wear time! And the only reason I took them off was because I wanted to chop off my nails and I need to swatch! Yup, these long pretties are gone!

Beauty Big Bang Stamping Polishes

Press Sample

Hello all! I have lots of gorgeous summer collections waiting to be swatched, but I'm just so exhausted from final grading and just need some time off. I promise that I'll have goodies the last week of May, but I may need a wellness week!

I've been sitting on these stamping polishes though, so I wanted to share them!

Zoya Hydrate & Heal Dry Skin Repair Kit

Press Sample

If you live in the Northeast, you definitely are experiencing the WILD weather changes. For example, last week, Monday was a high of 51 degrees and Wednesday was a high of 96. These wild fluctuations are really bad on my skin. I need gradual increases in weather. Not only do I usually get sick from these unnatural weather changes, but skin usually dries out. So I'm super glad that I finally broke out this skin repair kit from Zoya so I could give my hands some extra love.

Stella Chroma Queen of Thorns, May Hella Handmade Creations

Press Sample

Hella Handmade Creations, formerly Hella Holo Customs, changed its format last month to where makers can now choose a personal theme, and create customs as long as they wish based on that theme. Stella Chroma is debuting her theme this month for May, with Game of Thrones. Pam at Stella Chroma loves all things Harry Potter and Game of Thrones, so this makes sense!

Cherry Blossoms Nail Art with Morgan Taylor Royal Temptations

Press Sample

With cherry blossom season in full bloom (see what I did there), I finally got around to cherry blossom art! I wore this manicure from April 23-April 30! And yes, I have a wear test for you. But between Polish Pickup and other reviews, I'm posting this a week later. My parent's cherry blossom tree finally bloomed this weekend, and I think it's because it was super cold for most of April. I had hoped to take a picture with them, but oh well!

Margarita Nail Art

Press Sample

As we enter into the weekend, I wanted to share this margarita nail art that I did and have been wearing. You might drink a margarita or two tomorrow so why not have festive nails? I did nails like these a few years ago and I figured I wanted to redo it.

Beauty Big Bang Mermaid Glitter Placement

Press Sample

I'm not one to do a ton of intricate glitter placement, but I do love gradient glitter placement, especially with a variety of sizes. These placements are totally achievable by anyone, since there's no rhyme or reason. You just place them however!

Stella Chroma The Whole Brevity Thing, May Polish Pickup

Press Sample

Just when I think "oh, this is my favorite Stella Chroma," she goes and makes something else! I feel like makers are just so awesome, creating new colors when I think I've seen it all! Stella Chroma takes its inspiration from the only and only DUDE from Big Lebowski. He wears the mauve, dusty purple robe and drinks his White Russians, and he bowls. So yea, living the life.
