2 Color Peacock Feather Stamping Tutorial

Hi again friends! I'm so sorry it's been 4 months since I last posted anything on here. I got my first nursing job in February and it's full time plus I was still going to school part-time so that pretty much occupied all of my time. I felt like I was drowning in life for the past few months. I'm still working full-time, but I'm on summer break right now so I hope to post as much as I can this summer before school starts back up again in the fall. I've totally missed blogging and all of you guys so much. For those that are still following me, thanks for sticking with me!

Here's a mani I did back in January that's inspired by Craftynail. I finally got around to editing the video that goes with it so that's why I saved posting it until now. I used China Glaze Mingle with Kringle and stamped using MoYou London Pro 05 XL in Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Night Flight and Konad Green. Hope you guys enjoy the tutorial. See you soon!

Stamping Decal Tutorial with MoYou London Pro 11 XL

Hey friends! I have a treat for you today. Usually I just share photos of my nails, but today I have a new YouTube video to go along with the nail art I did. I've been playing around with reverse stamping and advanced stamping the past couple of months, but I have finally found a way to make a stamping decal that works great for me. I really want to make more videos, but the setup and editing takes me quite awhile to get the hang of. Hopefully after filming a few more I'll pick up some speed.

For this mani, I used Morgan Taylor All White Now and stamped using MoYou London Pro 11 XL in Wet N Wild Black Creme. I filled in the flowers with Morgan Taylor Invitation Only and it's also the polish color on all my other nails. I don't typically stamp with Wet N Wild Black Creme, but for this look, the opacity of the black was not a concern. Also for those of you who have tried stamping decals and have had issues with the decal being too stiff, it may be the topcoat you're using. I tried Seche Vite Quick Dry and the decals were super stiff. I switched to Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Clear and it works like a charm!



And of course as promised, here's my YouTube tutorial of how I created this! I would love some feedback on the video as well. I really hate talking in videos. Are the captions on the bottom sufficient or am I going to be forced to make tutorials with my voice? You guys be the judge!

NCLA Nail Wraps--Review & Tutorial


Hey ladies! Today I have my first NCLA Nail Wraps to review. I received both of these sets from Nail Polish Canada. The galaxy design I have is called "Stephanie's Galaxy" and the pink crystal design is called "Reflect Yourself!" They are not made of nail polish and don't require any heating to apply them. You just clean your nails with polish remover, apply basecoat, apply a nail wrap to your nail, file off the excess, and add topcoat--super easy! This was the fastest mani I have ever done, ever. Each set comes with 2 sheets of nail wraps with 22 nail wraps on each (44 total) and a nail file. You can get so much use out of these especially if you use some occasionally for accent nails.




These are amazing! Love the print so much!






I really loved both of these, but my favorite has to be Stephanie's Galaxy. These were so easy to apply and I can say with confidence anyone can use them. You can purchase Stephanie's Galaxy here and Reflect Yourself here for $16 each. 

Also I made my very first YouTube video on how to apply these so please check it out so the time I spent on it doesn't go to waste lol. It took me awhile to figure everything out, but at least I know how to make a video for next time! If you like my video/subscribe it will make me super happy! =]
