Simple Chevron Stamping NOTD

Press Sample

After swatching sessions, I sometimes like super simple. I really was in the mood for elevated white nails, so this is what I went with. I feel like white and off-white nails will never go out of style.

Born Pretty Stamping Plate Holder

Press Sample

If you're like me, you have a bunch of plates in a giant bag. Every time you want an image, you dump out the plates, and then one by one start removing the plates until you find the right image. Twenty minutes later, you are tired and don't want to stamp anymore haha. So here comes a much better solution to that problem!

Indie Expo Canada 2018

Nothing to Disclose/Press Gift

I hope you have your cup of coffee, juice, or whatever you need to sit back and take a look at my experience at Indie Expo Canada in Toronto. This event took place on June 10th at the Hyatt Regency, right in the heart of Downtown Toronto. There was a variety of nail polish and bath and body vendors and I have some information about each one!

Jessica Phenom, Sugar Town for Summer 2018

Press Sample

Jessica Phenom is back with another collection. This time it's the Sugar Town Collection, which is giving me more Valentine's Day vibes than Summer vibes, but I love cremes. The Phenom system is a gel-like system without the light, and is supposed to last 10 days!

Jessica Gypsy Spirit for Summer 2018, Swatches and Review

Press Sample

Jessica Cosmetics is back with their classic creme formulas for their summer 2018 Gypsy Spirit Collection. I feel like a lot of brands went with festival themes and bohemian vibes, and Jessica followed suit. There's a nice mix of brights in this collection, without being neon, so it's a different summer vibe!

Stella Chroma Where the Sky Meets the Ocean, Group Custom

Press Sample

It's really nice when makers take into consideration what their customers want. In the Stella Chroma Facebook Group, Pam, the owner and creator, set up polls and let us choose what color we wanted with the finish! I'm not sure I even voted for blue (I probably was a lone vote for yellow haha), but I do love the end result!

6th Blogging Anniversary: Neon Rainbow Leopard Print

Press Sample

It's my 6th Blogging Anniversary, and my seventh year blogging. I really didn't think I would be going this long. I know everyone must say that, but it's still fun! Nail art is what started this blog, and although I've been swatching a LOT lately, nail art is still my number one! As I do every year, I share my birthday manicure for my blog anniversary post, since that's what began this blog!

Stella Chroma Queen Regent, June Hella Handmade Creations

Press Sample

More Hella Handmade Customs today! This time, from Stella Chroma, who chose Game of Thrones as her theme. She's also doing it based on strong women of Games of Thrones. Since I don't watch this show, I depend on Google to figure out the inspiration. Queen Regent wears a red garb, so this totally is on point.

Alter Ego Velocirapture Collection

Cynthia of Alter Ego did another collection based on fan requests. Just like the Fan Favorites collection, the fans chose the theme of Jurassic Park and chose the names. They also chose the chrome metallic finish! I have only seen the original movie once, so I don't know all the references but I can still love all the colors!

Summer collections are in full force right now. Remember how I wanted to take a few weeks of blogging? Especially since I have 4 trips in June OMG. Well, fail. There's too many gorgeous summer collections that need to be shared, which includes Stella Chroma's Summer Diversions collection.
