Zoya Beachy Brights, Swatches and Review

Press Sample

When I got the press release for this collection, I saw neons and immediately went yay! What I failed to read is that these were minis with a new gel prep system. So when they showed up so small I was like huh, OK. I am literally an English professor, so I probably should read better, right? To be honest the first press release did not mention a size, but the second one did once I looked back. Anywho, I will review the gel system later and just share the colors for now!

11th Blogging Anniversary

Press sample

Hi all! Today is 11 years since my first post ever on this blog. Like always, I post my birthday manicure on my blogging anniversary since that is how I started this blog. Last year, I posted a recreation of my very first manicure and it was so fun to do! Then I did a look back at all ten years! So I am back with my tradition and sharing this year's birthday manicure.

KBShimmer Sugar Rush Collection, Summer 2023

 Press Sample

It's summer time! Or almost. KBShimmer was inspired by candy for her most recent collection, and that seems like fun to me! I also laughed when I opened the press package and it was filled with candy that inspired this collection. No chocolate, because that melts in the summer! So let's check out this bright and fun summer collection. While I do miss neons, this one is filled with bright shimmers, reflectives, and holos!

Smiley Daisy Nail Art

Hey all! Just wanted to pop on to share this bit of art. It seems like the 90s are back and I definitely had stickers just like this in the 90s. Lisa Frank flowers with smiley faces, yes! I wanted some fun flowers and smiles so here we are.

Press Sample

So I have been so busy in May. And like...totally forgot to swatch the KB Polish Pickup because I am terrible. I turned in pictures way late and well, I am posting this last minute. But alas, this polish is available this Friday, so you still have time to add it to your wish list and grab it!
