Florida Gradient with KBShimmer

I usually take off on the weekend, but today I have mani that I never officially took pictures off but I really wanted to share it with you because it was just so pretty. Also, after this mani, I had a deep break, so from now on, I'll be sharing my shorter nails that are growing out.

Do you ever just keep saying you'll take pics, you'll take pics, then a week passes and your nails are destroyed? That was this mani, so click read more below to see the details!

Floral Nail Art with Zoya Barefoot

Press Sample

With today's look, I was inspired by another Irotorio look on Instagram. I sort of went off the deep end with this though! But I still wanted to credit what I attempted to do! I knew I wanted to do some more looks, but I think I'm in a nail art fail rut haha. Basically, I can only do dots. I just haven't been digging so many of my looks. Fail or not, I still wanted to share this. It has a cute whimsical feeling, so why not!? As I keep looking at it, it's growing on me!

Stella Chroma Gingered Peach Perfume Oil

Press Sample

Perfume in the summer is so tricky, especially if you live in an area that has high humidity (blah, NJ/NY humidity!). You need a light scent. There's nothing worse than choking on someone's super strong perfume in the summer heat. In comes Stella Chroma Perfume Oil. If you'll remember, I initially posted this product with her other body care products. You can check out that post HERE. I had chosen a light and summery scent, so I didn't get to wear it a lot in the winter. So let's remind ourselves of this product!

Morgan Taylor Rocketman Comparisons

Press Sample

You know, I haven't done a comparison post in a looooong time. They really take forever to do. LOL. But when I was swatching the new Morgan Taylor Rocketman collection, some of the colors felt too familiar. Since it was only 4 colors, I figured I would swatch them for myself and give away the dupes, if there were anyway. So I figured, why not share my findings?! Sometimes, colors look the same in the bottles, and appear very different on nails...so let's get to my very scientific findings!

Yesterday when I shared the Girly Bits June Colors of the Month, I hinted that the two colors screamed something summery to me. Did you figure it out?! Red and green for the summer? Duh...WATERMELON! I knew I wanted to do some whimsical look with these colors. I wonder if Pam of Girly Bits thought of watermelon when she made this duo? It's all I see! Ok, so let's get to the details.

KBShimmer Seas the Day Collection, Swatches and Review

Press Sample

I love pastel neon polishes. To me, they are much more wearable than straight neons. They are bright, but light! So when Christy of KBShimmer previewed one of the colors in her Instagram stories a few months ago, I was like GIVE ME. To be honest, I already need a backup of one of these, because I have worn it FIVE times. I'm not even kidding. Ok check out my blog post to find out which one!

Cheers to a new week! I meant to share this on Friday, but decided to take a long weekend for my birthday. Why not? I'm trying to remind myself to blog when I want to and not out of obligation. So I've been wearing art for a while, and not swatching as fast. I'm just taking my time! From my last post to now, I decided to chop chop my nails! I shared swatches of the Jessica Cosmetics California Girly collection last week (check them out HERE). Now I'm back with art!

Alter Ego June CotM: Stone by Day, Warrior By Night

I think this might be my favorite Alter Ego color of the month yet! This month, Cynthia allowed group members to create the color! Sometimes the colors are based on Cynthia's inspiration but sometimes, she lets the group create the color! This is a gorgeous color and finish, so it's awesome. It's special for June, and you can grab her exclusive with Makers Dozen color too!
