Lechat Dare to Wear Indie Fest Tie Dye Nail Art

Press Sample

I've been wanting to do this art foreverrrrrrr. I feel like I've slacked on the nail art front just with all the boxes, exclusive group customs, PPU, HHC, haha. I try to do nail art with these polishes, but I really do love to wear my art vs swatch art. So I caught up on swatching and knew I could wear this for a few days, so blam! Tie Dye with Lechat Dare to Wear Indie Fest!

Beauty Big Bang Loose Neon Shimmer

Press Sample

How to explain this awesome shimmery item? It's listed as a neon shimmer, but it's anything but! It's way cooler! Sometimes, I forget what I have coming from BBB and so I originally thought this was a mermaid-type shimmer. Imagine my surprise when it turned out to be a pastel multichrome! Ok, let's chat!

Fiendish Fancies All Souls Live Forever, August Polish Pickup

Press Sample

More musical love, and this time, it's based on one I know very well! Since I mentioned before that I grew up just outside of New York City, I was able to attend many Broadway shows. I remember my father taking me to see Phantom of the Opera and being mesmerized by an amazing effect in the theatre (I won't spoil it). But this polish is inspired by Phantom of the Paradise, which was inspired by Phantom of the Opera. I've never heard of it so this was something new for me!

Watermelon Nail Art

Press Sample

The boyfriend wanted watermelon nails, so why not?! I decided to do a gradient with a sponge, and after I finished, I realized how much easier it would have been to stamp the gradient! So I fully plan to re-do this manicure, but I did like the look of this anyway. It's one of those nail arts that look great in person but meh in photos!

Cast A Spell Box, Happy Birthday Harry Potter!

Press Sample

Hold the phone, errrbody! It's Harry Potter's Birthday month! That means it's time for the annual Cast a Spell box, hosted by Night Owl Lacquer. This box celebrates Harry with polishes based on spells from the series! I had to get schooled on the spells and now I'm fully educated on these polishes! Some of them are just so perfect in my head! I like Harry Potter  but I've seen like the first three movies and some of the last one lol. I stink. But I do love a gorgeous polish with sensical inspirations!

KBShimmer Sandy, August 2018 PPU

Press Sample

 

Since I grew up 15 minutes out of New York City, I spent my whole childhood seeing a variety of Broadway shows! I am definitely looking forward to seeing all the interpretations of the musical theme. KBShimmer went with the movie Grease. True story, I have never seen this movie. I just could not get into it when people would put it on. But that being said, I'm all about this polish!

Jessica Cosmetic Gypsy Spirit Galaxy Nails with Born Pretty Stamping Plate

Press Sample

So I love fun stamping plates and I love outer space so this was sort of a match made in heaven. I love doing galaxy manis, so I decided to take the galaxy mani and use a different palette. I swatched the Jessica Summer 2018 Gypsy Spirit collection last month, and I looked at it for a while before I said, galaxy mani time.

Girly Bits Winter Whispers

 Nothing to Disclose

I have an older color that I wore ages ago, but again, this sat in my drafts! I remember wearing this for a week, because it was probably right after my semester ended and I took a break from life haha. Either way, I find that flakes make me happy and I can wear them for multiple days.

Sunflower Stamping with Lechat Dare to Wear

Press Sample

I found this one sitting in drafts, and well, I love it so I'm sharing it! I think I was in a subtle polish mood when I put this on. I really love dusty pastel colors like this, so I think that's why I gravitated toward the Dare to Wear English Rose Collection.

Alter Ego Champagne Taste, Beer Budget: Group Exclusive

Press Sample

Hi all! Hope you had a nice Fourth of July if you celebrated! Mine was laid back. The heat wave has been so gross here in NYC. Also, if you live in this area, the beaches are a mad house and just not fun. I need a swimming pool to go to! That's my style on such humid days!

Anywho, speaking of fancy lifestyles, I have Alter Ego's new Facebook Group exclusive polish!

Fourth of July Fireworks Nail Art

Partial Press Sample

So, my nails are in a serious funk. I break a few bones in my foot and then broke off two nails fully. I did my nails for me just to be festive for tomorrow, but two friends encouraged me to still post them! I'm feeling bummed about my nails being short and uneven, but I'm human. I have so much to swatch, so I'm hoping they look nice in another week.
