Winstonia Store--3D Nail Art Charms Review


Happy Humpday! Today I have some 3D charms to review from Winstonia Store. I received 2 different designs: heart charms with rhinestones and bow charms with pearls. Check out the super girly manicures I created with them!

Zoya Layla and Color Club Harp On It with 3D heart charms.


China Glaze For Audrey and OPI Liquid Sand Solitaire with 3D bow charms


I applied the charms using topcoat, but if I were to wear them out, I would highly recommend using nail glue instead. Nail glue would help the charms to adhere to the nail better because the charms are large and not all of the bottom surface is flush to the nail. What I did like is that these charms were easy to apply, are super eye catching, and reusable. I will admit that at first when I got them I thought they might be too big, but after putting them on, I really loved how pretty and girly my nails looked. You can purchase a set of 10 3D charms here for $4.95. Use code "HEARTNAT" for 10% off this item until Aug. 31.

Glitter Daze ColorPOP Collection Swatches


Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a good weekend. I pretty much just worked on catching up with swatching and reviewing things since I was pretty much just studying the past month and a half. Oh yeah, that reminds me. I got the results from my exam last week and guess what... I passed my NCLEX RN. That means I'm officially a registered nurse! I'm going back to school this week which is a drag, but at least it won't be anything compared to nursing school and I can finally stop studying for that test.

Today I have 6 out of the 10 polishes from Glitter Daze Color POP Collection. I would've chose to review all 10, but like I said, I was busy studying and didn't want to delay this post too much. Glitter Daze Nail Polish is a handmade indie brand of polish made by a lovely lady named Sana. Let's take a look at the pics of her beautiful, glittery creations. All swatches are shown with topcoat.

Jetsetter Lifestyle--3 coats


Icecream for Summer--3 coats


Lei It On Me--1 coat over  China Glaze White Out

Lei It On Me has a milky white jelly base so it can be worn alone or layered over white. 

Summer Sprinkles--1 coat over China Glaze Bottoms Up


A Boardwalk to Remember--1 coat over Color Club Wicker Park


My Private Paradise--1 coat over Essie Under Where


I really enjoyed the 6 polishes I tried from the Glitter Daze ColorPOP Collection. I don't own any polishes like these. The glitter is so unique and bright that it really adds some fun to my nails. The only thing I would say I didn't like is that Jetsetter Lifestyle had a strong smell that made it not as pleasant to use, but the linear holo effect is quite nice so you can say that it's worth it. All of the glitter toppers are literally PACKED with glitter so you don't have to do any fishing. I applied them like I do most glitters, brush some on and kind of dab the brush around to cover up any empty spots. My favorites are the last 4 because the neon glitters are so eye catching and fun to look at on my nails. You can purchase 4 ml bottles for $4.00 or full size 15 ml bottles for $11 here. Big thanks to Sana for letting me review her glittery beauties!

Bundle Monster 48 Piece Nail Art Glitter Collection Review


Hey beauties! Today I have a 48 piece nail art glitter set from Bundle Monster to review. The set I have has 48 bottles of nail glitter, but they offer both 48 and 96 bottle sets on their site. The set comes with a variety of nail art glitter in a variety of colors and shapes including star, hex, diamond, heart, bar, loose, and "fish egg" beads. Let's take a look at what the set comes with and some manicures I created with it. Feel free to click any image to see an enlargement & pretty glitter ;]








China Glaze Are You Jelly with a gradient using loose glitter.


OPI Pink Friday with light pink, medium pink, silver, and green "fish egg" beads for an accent.


China Glaze Liquid Leather and gold holo star glitter.


I really enjoyed creating different manicures using this nail art glitter set. There's so many different kinds of glitter that I don't see myself running out of ideas or glitter anytime soon. For each manicure, all I used to apply the different nail glitter was clear polish--super easy! You can purchase the 48 piece set here for $13.99 or the 96 piece set here for $18.99.

Summer Gradient & Bundle Monster BM 301

Hi my polished pretties! I apologize for the 2 week hiatus! I just took my board exam to get my registered nursing license over the weekend so I was studying like a madwoman for the past couple of weeks. I really wanted to post, but I had to force myself to stop playing with my nails and focus lol. Hopefully I get the results soon, but my exam ended early and I felt very confident so I have a good feeling that I passed. I'll keep you posted ;] Here's a mani I did as soon as I got home! I did a gradient using China Glaze Happy Go Lucky, China Glaze Dance Baby, and Essie Play Date and stamped using BM 301 in Konad White. I really love how these turned out! Now that my exam is over, I am going to use this time to finally do some "summery" manis and catch up on reviewing products.



Check out my awesome phone case I got a couple weeks ago. I looove it!
