Essie & Jamberry! A great combo!

 Hello, lacquer lovers! It's my favorite time of year... Summer nail polish collections are released! I am absolutely obsessed with neon colors! Especially, purple. Big surprise, right? It being my favorite color and all! Lol  It's been a while since I posted but I got inspired by Essie's new collection so I figured it was time to write up a new post so I could share my love of it with you all! I hope you like it as much as I do!  Here's a pic of the whole collection. So far I've only purchased Sittin' Pretty and I'm Addicted (review to come) but I hope to get Too Taboo and Vices Versa as well. I usually don't like greens but that polish just looks so pretty that I might not be able to resist. When I first saw Serial Shopper I thought it might be a dupe of Tart Deco but after comparing them I saw I was wrong. Tart Deco is much brighter and seems to go on more opaque then Serial Shopper. I also thought that Sittin' Pretty was a dupe of Play Date but a...

Snow Day Mani!

   Hello, again, lacquer lovelies! It's been quite a while since I posted because life has been crazy busy lately! Sorry about that. I figured since my family had a snow day today, it would be a perfect time for me to write up a new post. Especially since I pretty much spent most of the day painting my nails and making a few new pairs of polish earrings. Nothing like a snowstorm to use as an excuse to give myself a new mani, right? Right! So onto pretty polishes!     I've been dying to do a half moon mani since I attempted it last without the hole reinforcements so I finally did one tonight and I love it! It was pretty easy, too. Check it out! Cute, right?     I recently purchased Gelous from Sally Beauty Supply after reading quite a few pins on Pinterest about how great it was so I was pretty excited to try it and see if it will help my manicures last longer than 3 days.      I started with a base coat of OPI Nail Envy then a coat of Gelous....

Essie Gradient Nails

    Hello, lacquer lovers! I finally tried out a gradient manicure and I loved it. I used a makeup sponge to create this and it was kind of a messy process but since it was my first time trying it, I've learned from my mistakes.            I used my favorite colors from Essie to do this manicure. The pink is Peach Daiquiri, the purple is DJ Play That Song and the blue is Butler, Please. One coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust, which is my all time favorite glitter topper and a coat of Seche Vite to make it super shiny.      Next time I try this I'll definitely put tape around my fingers and cut the sponge to make it smaller. Overall I think this turned out very pretty. I love how these colors compliment each other. I have so many ideas for my next manicure and post that I'm not sure what I'll do next but stay tuned! Happy polishing!
