Emily de Molly Bright Young Things

Hi lovelies. Today I have one of my few indie polishes to show you. I won this polish along with a 4 other indies in a contest from Llarowe back in February. I got to choose any 5 polishes from her site--it literally took me all day to decide! This one is Emily de Molly over OPI Black Onyx. They looked even more awesome in person!

Here are all of the indies I chose as my prize. Freaking cool right?!

Born Pretty Store--2mm Colorful Stud Review

Hey my polished pretties! Today I have 2mm colored studs to review from Born Pretty Store. They are 2mm in size and turquoise in color. I'm loving the stud trend this year! I have mostly been seeing basic colors like silver and gold being used, but I was really excited when I saw a variety of colors like pink, blue, turquoise, orange, and black offered on the Born Pretty site. For this mani I used OPI Can't Find My Czechbook and stamped using BM 319 in China Glaze Adore. The blue glitter is OPI Liquid Sand Tiffany Case. To apply the studs on my nails I used topcoat and tweezers for placement and sealed them in with topcoat. I wore them for a little over a day, went shopping, and didn't lose any studs!

You can wear just a couple studs on each nail, or go nuts on one nail like I did. Either way, they're such an easy way to jazz up your nails especially if you're not great at doing nail art. You can purchase a bag here for $5.84 and this particular color is #2205. Get 10% off of your entire purchase using my coupon code: NV7X31.

Essie In the Cab-ana & Nailz Craze NC 01

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a lovely weekend. I know I did! It was my first weekend without any schoolwork in such a long time and I got to spend some time with my family. I also had a chance to do my nails a lot so I'm a happy camper. Here's one of the manis I did over the weekend. I used Essie In the Cab-ana and stamped using Nailz Craze NC 01 in Konad White. The accent nail is OPI Liquid Sand Solitaire. I can't tell you enough how much I'm loving all of the OPI Liquid Sand polishes from the Bond Girls collection!

Marilyn Monroe Mani with GLAM 01

HAPPY FRIDAY LOVES! Can you tell I'm happy? Yesterday I finished my last day of preceptorship for the nursing program I'm in so it's official, I'm graduating nursing school on May 23! As you can imagine, the first thing I did today was paint my nails. I have quite a few products lined up to review so the first one I wanted to try was a new stamping plate by Just Ricarda. She made her first stamping plate and was nice enough to send it to me to try it out. For this mani, I used OPI Pink Friday and stamped using GLAM 01 in Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Presto Pink and Konad Black. The accent nail is OPI Black Onyx. How cute are these?!

So far I only used 3 images from this plate, but so far I love it and can already think of new mani ideas. This plate is available for $7 (plus $1-2 shipping depending on your location) on Just Ricarda's Etsy Shop. She also has a photo of the whole plate on her page so be sure to check it out!
