Is This Thing On?

 Hello?

Anyone there?

Gelaze That's Shore Bright

*Purchased By Me*


Hello, loves. Long time no posty huh lol. Life is still life as im sure it is for all of you. I seemed to have worked out a schedule that gives me some spare time before work so hopefully I can get back to posting here at least once a week, well since its taken me almost a week and half to finish writing this post I think even that may be too ambitious.  Anyhow, if you follow my IG you know that I recently tried an at-home gel system and I've fallen in love! Today I have a swatch of one of my latest purchases Gelaze That's Shore Bright.

The Future of Painted Nubbs

*Nothing To Disclose*

(pokes head around corner) hi guys! You may have noticed that I've been absent from all social media for about a month and I was posting inconsistently before that. I'm kinda hoping this post will shed some light on that.

The Lacquer Ring Seafoam

*Former Press Sample*

Hello loves, welcome back. Its time for another round of The Lacquer Ring and this time the prompt is seafoam. There has been some discussion on what color seafoam actually is. While I see it as a bit more green others see it as more blue or even beige. I kinda cheated used Seafoam by LA Colors lol.

The Lacquer Ring: Floral

*Press Sample*

Hello loves, welcome back. Today's post is another special one. I was recently invited to be part of The Lacquer Ring. If you don't know much about them you can check Of Life and Lacquers past post, she's how I've followed them since the birth of the group lol. Anyway, this is my first post with them (they post twice a month) and the prompt was floral. Could it have been any more perfect for me?!

Manis For Rose

*Former Press Samples*

Hello loves, welcome back. I know I don't normally post on a Monday but this is a very special post. If you've been here any length of time then you know I love everything that Rose from Manicured & Marvelous does. I've recreated quite a few of her manis. Well, she hasn't been doing well health wise recently so a wonderful group of bloggers got together to recreate her manis to cheer her up.

Born Pretty Store Elephant and Owl Nail Stickers

Stamping Saturdays #33: Born Pretty Store Black Stamping Polish

*Press Sample*

Hello loves, welcome back. It has been so long since I've done a SS and even though I don't like to combine them with a product review I have to this week since I'm so behind. I have been sitting on a package from Born Pretty Store for about a month now and have only reviewed two products. Today I have a stamping polish to show you.

Born Pretty Store Thermal Polish #103

*Press Sample*

Hello loves, welcome back. It feels strange to have some time to put a post together. My work schedule got messed up so I ended up with a three day weekend, woo-hoo. I still can't find a good work/home/blog rhythm though. It all seems never ending. Anyway today's post is about something I don't try a lot of but I love on others, thermal polish.

BPS Feline Water Decals

*Press Sample*

Hello loves, welcome back. Before we get started I want to apologize for once again falling behind in posting. Unfortunately it may get worse. I start work full time tomorrow and until I get into a routine my posts will be terribly sporadic. This is a big step for me and hopefully will improve my blog in the future. Anyway, today I have the cutest cat decals from Born Pretty Store to showcase.

My Tiniest Decals Yet

*Former Press Sample*

Hello loves, welcome back. Today I have some really cute nail art to share with you. At least I loved it lol. These are the tiniest decals that I've made yet and actually they were the easiest. Sunflowers are also my wife's favorite flowers, bonus points!

Scribble Nail Art?

*Purchased By Me*

Hello loves, welcome back. Are we all enjoying our Sunday? I've been getting a sneak peeq of a summer collection from a maker and its really brightened my day, and maybe even lifted my polish funk a bit. I love seeing new, bright collections. Anyway today I have a new to me technique to share with you.

Stamping Saturdays #32: Pond Nail Art With Spellbound Nails Late Bloomer

*Former Press Sample*

Hello loves and welcome back. Before we get started does anyone else hate the latest Snapchat update? I missed an entire story the other day because I got distracted and the person doesn't post videos, so I didn't know it auto played them all. Total first world problem lol. Anyway today's look is another pond mani that I tried using one of the spring colors from Spellbound Nails.

Floral Double Stamping

*Former Press Sample*

Hello loves, welcome back. Today's mani is inspired by none other than Deborah from Love Varnish. Not only are her swatches amazing but she kills every nail art technique she tries. I have a list as long as my arm that's inspired by her. This time though I tried one of her double stamping looks.

Stamping Saturdays #31: Peacock Feathers

*Former Press Sample*

Hello loves, welcome back. Today's SS look should have actually gone up about two weeks ago but all the photos were horrible. That actually turned out to be a good thing cause it gave me a chance to rethink my base. I'm much happier with it this time around.

*Press Sample*

Hello loves, welcome back. No St. Patty's nail art today, I just couldn't find the drive for any this year. I do however have a new collection from Spellbound Nails to share with you. If you are a fan of jellies, glow in the dark polishes or pond manis then I think you'll enjoy the Spring 2016 collection.

Simple Sparkly NOTD

*Purchased By Me*
