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.

Born Pretty Store Black Polish + Nail Art

Hey guys!

I recently got some items from Born Pretty Store to review and this one didn't disappoint! This is a black polish with pretty gold fleck type glitter in it. I did 2 coats here and the formula was great!

The gold fleck in this polish inspired me to continue the gold into some nail art. I have been saving this mani from ColorfulBottle for inspiration and now was the perfect time to finally make the idea reality! First, I sponged the tips with Orly Luxe and used it to stamp a cheetah print design. I love the look the fade gives to the design!

This is a pretty simple nail art idea and it marries 2 of my favorite methods of nail art! 

You can find the base polish I used *here* and the stamping plate I used *here*. 

 Don't forget, you can use code AJ10W21 to get 10% off also!

So, what do you think of this mani?

Born Pretty Store Blue Matte + Glitter Frames

Hey readers!

It's a late post for me today. I took a chunk out of my afternoon to get caught up on some sleep after my 1 1/2 year old kept me up half the night. Gotta love 'em. :)

I previously used these glitters from Born Pretty Store in *this* mani. This time, I used them on a matching blue matte polish also from Born Pretty. I used a toothpick and little dabs of base coat to apply the glitter. It was a bit of a challenge not letting the base coat ruin the matte finish anywhere the glitter wasn't covering but I am proud to say that it worked out quite nicely! I really like the contrast between the matte and glitter finishes.

I took more pics than normal to try and capture the dimension that the 2 finishes give to the overall look. Also, this blue matte is the best matte formula I have worked with! Like other mattes, you do have to work faster when applying. But unlike other mattes that dry with an imperfect finish, this one evens out to a perfectly smooth surface as it dries! So impressed.

So what do you think about this nail art look?

You can find the glitter and polish I used *here* and  *here*. AND don't forget about my 10% off coupon code when you order: AJ10W21! :)

iPhone Cases from Born Pretty Store

Hello!

I have a little something different for ya'll today. I'm sure by now most of you know I am a fan of Born Pretty Store.  They are mostly known for their affordable nail art supplies and nail polish. But they also have jewelry, hair accessories, and lots of other fun things. Today I am showing you a couple of their iPhone cases. These are cute, blingy and make it fun to switch things up every once in a while. 

This case is a sheer black shell with different sized rhinestones and a big heart as the centerpiece. Very cute! You can find this here for about $9. They also have these with a clear shell.

This case reminds me of the bottle for the Marc Jacobs fragrance Daisy. These are 3D flowers, so it seems a little more delicate, but this would be a fun case to have in rotation. You can find this here for a little over $8.

I LOVE shopping for iPhone cases because they are cheap and a fun way to refresh your phone. If you are looking for something cute for your iPhone definitely check out Born Pretty! They have a ton of cases to choose from made of all kinds of materials. You can use this coupon code: AJ10W21 for 10% off and shipping is always free worldwide!

Have any of you checked out these cases from Born Pretty Store recently?

CND Asphalt

Hey ya'll! Hope your Monday is going great...as great as a Monday can be anyway. hehe

I have another CND polish for ya today. My husband, who perfectly painted this mani, said he was very impressed with this polish and it's formula. That is saying a lot coming from the perfectionist he is! This polish is pretty much a one coater...always a huge plus! And as with CND Gold Chrome, this polish dried super fast. I would say within 10 minutes it was totally dry.

I think Asphalt is a gorgeous shade of grey. Although I don't normally gravitate toward dark colors as often, I really love this one.

Of course I couldn't just leave this alone...I recently bought a Sally Hansen Color Quick Pen in Fuchsia Chrome on clearance at Target. The Chrome pens are amaZing for stamping...I highly recommend them! Here is something else that I used a chrome pen with in a previous mani. So that's what the stamping color is and then the plates used are BM 19 and Born Pretty plate 59. I had a freak out when I saw how beautifully it all came together. I am a girly girl through and through so I looove these designs! :)

Anyways, that's it for now. Hope you enjoyed this mani! <3
