Nude, Gold, & Coral Gradient Dotticure

Hey loves! Oops I didn't realize it's been a whole week since I posted. It was my hubby's birthday this weekend and I guess I've just been busy with that, preparing for the NCLEX, and other nursing recertification things. No worries though, I have pics of a few manis that I did that just need editing. Here's a gradient dotticure I wore for 6 entire days. I can't remember the last time I wore a mani for that long so I hope that gives you an idea of how busy I was lol. I used a base of OPI Don't Pretzel My Buttons and made the dots using Essie Good As Gold and Essie Come Here. This design will always be a favorite of mine. I used this tutorial from Chalkboard Nails. You should all give it a try!

Born Pretty Store--QA28 Stamping Plate Review

Hey lacqueristas! Today I have QA28 stamping plate to review from Born Pretty Store. It has mustaches and lips on it in a variety of shapes and sizes. I made 2 manicures with it. For the mustache mani, I used China Glaze: (L to R) Bottoms Up, Highlight of My Summer, That's Shore Bright, and Too Yacht to Handle and stamped in Konad Black. For the lip mani, I used OPI Innie Minnie Mightie Bow and Chic from Ears to Tail and stamped in Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Presto Pink and OPI Innie Minnie Mightie Bow.

How adorable are these?!

I had no issues whatsoever with getting the images to transfer. As you can see the images all came out very crisp. I liked the variety of different shapes and sizes of everything. There are even mustaches that fit my thumb. The full lip images were slightly smaller compared to other brand plates. They fit my nails, but barely. I really loved the mustaches and I can see myself using the lips again for a Valentine's Day manicure. You can purchase this plate here for only $2.99.

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! =]

Green, Blue, & Pink Watermarble

Happy Friday ladies! OMG I spent 30+ hours in the past 4 days taking an online course and studying for my NCLEX. My brain is fried so here's another short post with a watermarble. I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear polishes: Green With Envy, Blue Me Away, and Coral Reef. The glitter on my accent is OPI Crown Me Already. I wore this for 2 full days and it really grew on me =]
