Splash Of Grenadine

This week I decided to use "Splash of Grenadine" by Essie along with some accents of OPI glitter "I Lily Love You" on my thumb and ring finger.

I love this polish! It's a cross between magenta and purple, although it showed up pretty pink in the picture The glitter I chose has colorful flecks in it, and it accented the Essie perfectly!

Playdate with a Zebra!

Here is a fun manicure using "Playdate" by Essie and some Zebra nail stickers!

"Playdate" by Essie is a creamy lavendar, I absolutely love this color! It went on nice and smooth and is so pretty. The polish shows up different in pictures depending on the source of light, the below picture was taken in artificial light.

 The picture below was taken in indirect sunlight.

I purchased some Zebra polish stickers (Dashing Diva Design Fx Bling) in "Catwalk" from my local beauty supply and used them for my toes, deciding to save the scraps to do something for a design on my nails. Below I used slanted cut-outs of the stickers as a fun twist on a french manicure.



 

Doesn't that look amazing? I got a lot of compliments when I had this manicure. I am loving these nail polish "stickers", they are quick and easy and seem to stay on for a pretty long time (1-2 weeks). You will definitely see more in the future!!

My Julep Maven Experience!

I want to share my Julep Maven experience with you! I found Julep polish while browsing online and decided to check out their website, www.julep.com. When I got to the website I found out that for $9.99 a month you can become a "Julep Maven" and it comes with a monthly box of polish and goodies, plus SO much more. Become a Julep Maven here!!

I signed up and the "American Beauty" Intro box from February was sent to me, and I am so impressed by everything I received. It was definitely an experience, it reminded me of getting a present. The box is so cute and sleek, inside was 2 polishes and cuticle oil, and a polish remover wipe all wrapped in a clear plastic bag with a bow on it! Surrounded by crinkle cut paper shreds in colors that matched the polish! This is totally something I would do, so I just love it. I took pictures of the box and how it came because I am just so impressed.

My intro box came with a gold glitter called "Oscar", a red shimmer called "Glenn", and Julep Essential Cuticle Oil.

I really love the Cuticle Oil, it has a roller ball applicator which is so much better than a brush for daily use. I put it in my night stand and use it every night now! It's so simple to roll it on and hop into bed, and it smells good too.

Overall, I am super impressed by everything Julep!! When you go to the website you can take a Style Quiz and you will get a result of one out of 5 types. I initially got "American Beauty" but after looking at what was sent out for March I feel like I am more of an "It Girl" style. Also, I had a few questions after my order so I emailed Julep and was pleasantly surprised when I got an answer within an hour! They have amazing customer service, on top of amazing product! My next box will be the "It Girl" box and I am so looking forward to it!

I started following @JulepMaven on twitter and within a few days they had a special for half off all polish, so of course I jumped on that deal! Being a Julep Maven you get free shipping so that made each polish $7 with free shipping, such a good deal. I got two from the sale, which of course came in a cute little box with a sample of Hand Cream.

I got "Samantha" and "Anne", both great colors for Spring/Summer! I am going to swatch them soon and will share them with you. Stay tuned!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I decided to do a fun twist on a french manicure for St. Patrick's Day. I used China Glaze "Gaga For Green" and OPI "Glitzerland" on my tips with Essie Luxeffects "As Gold As It Gets" over the whole nail.

Below is a picture without the Essie Luxeffects "As Gold As It Gets" to show that it looks great with or without the gold flecks.

I hope everyone has a safe and fun St. Patrick's Day!!

Silver Gradient Glitter

This is a chunky silver glitter gradient design over a light grey. I used "Pelican Gray" by China Glaze and "Set In Stones" by Essie Luxeffects.
