Holiday Mani Wrap Up: Snowflakes


Happy Saturday! 

This is my 500th post! That's quite the milestone, I think! :D

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend. We got snow today! Not a lot, just enough to dust the ground...but it's pretty anyway. :)

I am showing you the last of the holiday manis I wore this past week. I actually wore this one for Christmas Day. Dustin got me Butter London Scuppered as an early present (my first BL!) so that was the base for this mani. Hit Polish Noel went unexpectedly well with Scuppered, so I used that as an accent. Dustin stamped on the snowflakes and the rhinestones just tie it all together so well!



I also wanted to share a mani done by Dustin for my sister! He stamped snowflakes using some Color Club metallics and used Jordana Lunar Lights to add to the effect. I really love how this looks! I love that my husband knows how to make cute nail designs and execute them perfectly. :)



What do you think of these manis?

All That Glitters Holiday, Celebrate Collection Swatches and Review!

It's FRIDAY! Hallelujah! I am getting my hair cut and colored today and I am so ready for some me time AKA a break from my crazy 2 year old!!

I've got a fun bunch of polish to show you all today. All That Glitters has created a fantastic holiday collection called Holiday, Celebrate! There's 9 polishes and I have them all to show you today:



First, is Goody Gumdrops. I layered one coat over Zoya Areej. The glitters spread very easily and look so good together.



Autumn Bomb is exactly what it sounds like! I layered one coat over China Glaze Trendsetter.



 Next, is Lights in the Night. One easy coat over China Glaze Ride the Waves. I placed the stars but they came out of the bottle without too much effort. This has a fine shimmer in the base...very pretty.



Spottie Dottie Holiday is one of my faves. All That Glitters has a few different versions of Spottie Dotties and the combo of bar and hex glitters can't be beat! Definitely my favorite type of glitter. The bars were a little curly but I was able to lay them flat without any issues. I layered one coat over Essie Penny Talk.



I love this next one! Eggnog Wasted just makes me happy. I layered one super easy coat over Color Club Pretty in Platinum.



 Cool Yule is perfect for the winter season. I layered one coat over Sally Hansen Insta Dri
Blue Me Away.



What the Elf? is a funky one (in a good way!). I layered one coat over Zoya Monica.



 Pinch of Grinch is pretty awesome. It's got a pearly base with sort of a blue flash. I layered one coat over China Glaze Holly Day to try and bring that out but my pics aren't really showing it. I was really impressed with the formula of this one because I didn't have to try and place the stars... they came out on their own! That's a first. :)



And finally, we have Killer Icicle! I layered one coat over China Glaze Elephant Walk. The iridescent glitters are really fun in this.



Since this was a super long (but awesome!) post, here's a recap:

Nabi Nail Lacquer Swatches and Review

Hey readers! 

Happy Monday! ;) I have some swatches of 6 Nabi brand polishes to show you today. I have heard of the brand but never used it before now. It's always fun trying new brands! These were actually sent to me for review by a new site that has polish, cosmetics, and other accessories called MyWholesaleFashion.com.


Jumbo Pink Glitter is full of iridescent glitters in a pink tinted base.  I layered this over China Glaze Hang Ten Toes. I think this would look pretty awesome over a dark color to really bring out the iridescence. 



Next is Pink Moon Star (creative name, huh?).  This is sort of like the Jumbo Pink Glitter but without the large iridescent glitters. Instead you get holo silver moon and star glitters! These came out of the bottle pretty easily but had to be fished for a bit...nothing new with shape glitters. I layered this over Zoya Kimber.



Next, we have Multi Color Glitter. Not exactly a multi color glitter but a fun combo nonetheless. My favorite part are the pink and blue glitters spread throughout as well as the fine silver glitter. I did some dabbing to place a few of these glitters. This is one coat over Color Club Positively Posh.



Beige is an unexpected favorite. I think this is super pretty even if it's simple. I did 3 coats to get even coverage.


Hot Red is an almost jelly. The formula was great and I barely needed 2 coats to cover. Love how shiny this one is!


And finally, we have Julia a pearl shade. At first I thought this was going to be a sheer layering polish but it was opaque enough for full coverage in 3 coats. Very winter appropriate!


And that's it! Again, you can find these and many more polishes at MyWholesaleFashion.com at great prices. Go check them out!

Have you tried Nabi polish before? What are your favorites?

Neener Neener Nails Swatches and Review

Hey!

Can you believe it's the 1st of December already?! I sure can't...time goes by so quickly anymore!

So today I have a newer indie brand to share with you today called Neener Neener Nails. Have you heard of them yet? 

Look at how cute your order will arrive:


First up, is Silver Bullet. I wish I would have been able to capture this one better! There are periwinkle and silver glitters in this one. I layered one coat over Noble Navy from Dr.'s Remedy.



Here is Sparkles. I like this one...very versatile and can go over anything! I layered one coat over Sally Hansen Insta Dri Lickety Split Lime.



Sexy Bish is another versatile one...I love me some gold holo glitter! I layered one coat over Color Club Jewel of a Girl.



Snow Confetti is fabulous! I was amazed at how great the formula was with this polish! I did 2 easy, non- streaky coats to get full coverage.



And finally, here is XOXOXO. I dabbed and fished the hearts on but I think that's a given with shapes. Plus I think the overall look is worth it...so cute! I layered XOXOXO over Color Club Poptastic.




 You can find Neener Neener Nails on Etsy *here* and Facebook *here*. And they are offering free shipping this weekend! Just use code SHIPFREE.

Different Dimension Part II Swatches

Happy Friday guys!

I've got the second part to the Different Dimension post from Wednesday for you today. Get ready for more glittery goodness!

On Wednesdays We Wear PINK is a fun one! Although, I'm not sure where that random purple glitter on my middle finger came from. haha I layered one easy coat over Color Club Yum Gum.



Rainbows and Butterflies is so whimsical with it's butterfly shaped glitter. This is 2 coats over Revlon Aloof.


I can't stop looking this macro! So pretty!


This is Selene. The shimmer in this is to die for. I did one coat over Zoya Monica, but this could go over literally anything...love that versatility!



Next is Hanna. This can be a full coverage glitter in 3 coats. Here though, I decided to layer one coat over Sally Hansen Ruby Rush.



One of my favorite combos...here is 2 coats of Gumdrops over Sweet Polish from Born Pretty. I love how awesome the 2 look together!




And finally, this is Rock, Paper, Scissor, Lizard, Spock. I layered one coat over Orly Frisky. I like the mixture of matte and metallic glitters this one has.


Here are the bottle shots of all the pretties I have shown you this week...a little something for everyone, I think!

And an overview of the swatches...you can find more about the other half in this post.
