Rory Gets Razzle Dazzled By Love Potion No. 99!

Good morning, readers! I have another mani to show you from vacation last week! This was my favorite that I did! As I was lining up the bottles that I chose to bring on vacation(the Zoya Surf collection and my indies) I realized that Zoya Rory looked great next to Girly Bits Razzle Dazzle! It's a perfect base color to not have to use 3 coats of Razzle Dazzle so it will last longer! Because I couldn't just leave it at that, I decided to try some gradient tips of Lynnderella Love Potion No. 99! I love how this turned out. The Razzle Dazzle has some purple glitters in it if you see it in the light so it pulled the two colors together nicely.

You can see the purple in Razzle Dazzle in this macro!

I used:

Orly Nail Defense

2 coats of Zoya Rory

1 coat of Girly Bits Razzle Dazzle

Ripped up makeup sponge and Lynnderella Love Potion No.99 for the gradient tips

2 coats of Cult Nails Wicked Fast

I really love how this turned out! The slight purple pigment in the Lynnderella added more than just glitter to the tips so I was really happy with that! I honestly think that Love Potion No. 99 may be my very favorite of the handful of Lynnderellas that I have! What do you think? Thanks for reading!

Nostalgic Blane!

Hello readers! Here is a picture of one of the manis I did while on vacation last week. I finally tried out another of the Nostalgic Nail Lacquer Bizarre Teenage Love Triangle set. You can see my post on Duckie here. This one was a lot easier to get glitter on the nail than Duckie, to my happy surprise. No real globbing on with this one! The only complaint I have is that the big blue hex glitters are curled a bit so i had some sharp points sticking off even after some top coat.


Blane is a sheer purple jelly with big blue hexes, and mini purple and aqua hex glitters. I wore it over Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Lacey Lilac.

I used:

Orly Nail Defense

2 coats of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Lacey Lilac

2 coats of Nostalgic Blane

1 coat of Cult Nails Wicked Fast

What do you think? I love these polishes! Can't wait to try out Andie! Thanks for reading!

Happy Mother's Day!!

Good morning, readers, and Happy Mother's Day to the mothers out there! I'm dedicating this post to my wonderful Mom, Jill! She is such an amazing and supportive mother and I couldn't be luckier to have her. I hope I am like her with my own children.

While on vacation last week, I got to paint her nails and I had to show you the result! I think she picked a great combo! This is Alter Ego Penny Pincher with Lynnderella Boy Girl Party for the gradient tips. It was so festive and we both really liked how it turned out!

My Mom's nail debut on my blog!!

I'm Back With Pretty & Polished Sand Art!

Hello readers! I am back from my vacation and had a wonderful time! Thank you for the well wishes on my last blog post and my facebook page. I am glad to be back to blogging for you, though.

I took some pics of various manis that I did over the week that I will be showing you soon, but this had to come first. When I came home from being away for a week, I had a ton of nail mail! No spoilers yet on what I received but this was one of them and I had to try it right away.

Pretty & Polished Sand Art looks awesome over black! It is teeny matte glitters in pink, purple, blue, and green with a clear base. It was pretty dense, and I was happy with how many glitters came out in just one coat. This is 2 coats below over Milani Black Swift.

How cool is the close up?

I am really loving these matte glitters lately from the indie polish makers, and this is no exception! It definitely reminds me of the colored sand used in sand art! I bought this from Chelsea's Etsy Store during one of the last openings. Her shop is closed now but you can sign up for email updates on when she opens again, and also check out her blog and facebook page for up to date news on how you can get this beauty and others!

Vacation!

Hello readers! Just wanted to give you a heads up that I'll be out of town for the next week so don't expect any posts until next weekend/beginning of next week.

My sister, Caitlin, is graduating from The University Of Florida this morning and we are heading down to be with my family! Then, we are off to a week in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Georgia!

Hope you don't miss me too much! Have a wonderful week!
