Hey loves, long time no see, I guess it's time to stop procrastinating and get back on the grind lol. Recently I was offered the chance to review a new collection that will be releasing next month from Blue Eyed Girl Lacquer called the Spark in the Dark Collection. While I've followed Julie's blog and brand for a while I recently really fell in love with her Doctor Who collection (it was massive lol), so I jumped at the chance to swatch these.

But, that's not why you're here, today's mani is another galaxy post lol. I did this when I first swatched SN Winter Is Coming collection to see how the polishes on their own would look as a base.

Hello lovelies, I am super sorry about today's post being up late. I have spent the last two days swatching and I am super behind in my editing.

Lol But, for today I decided to try something that I've always wanted to try, double stamping.

Hello lovelies, how is your day going? Today I have another uninspired post featuring another uninspired mani. I really like the colors but I'm not all that happy with the stamp.
