Eyes On Indie Party

Did someone say nail polish party?! I will be attending my very first nail polish party tomorrow. If anyone lives in California in the San Jose area you should join in the festivities! It's a party hosted by PolishedByKPT and EcoMonster where several indie polish and make up makers will be selling their products. There will also be different stations where you can create your own organic hand scrub, paint your nails, & shop. There will be goodies like cocktails, beer, and macaroons for sale. Admission is $5 if you purchase online from EcoMonster or $6 at the door. Your ticket also enters you in a raffle for a chance to win an epic prize of indie polishes. Come join us! I'm so excited! All the info on purchasing and the event can be found here.

Essie Naughty Nautical Water Marble

Happy Friday the 13th! Good thing nothing unlucky happened to me today. Today I have a water marble I did using some of the colors from the Essie Naughty Nautical collection. Summer is almost over and I did really good at not buying a lot of polish, so I decided to get this collection I've been eyeing all summer. I've been playing with them this week before summer ends. For this water marble I used a base of Zoya Purity and marbled using Essie Sunday Funday, Naughty Nautical, The Girls Are Out, and The More the Merrier. They're not uniform like I usually prefer, but I still like how they turned out. I used an orange stick from Winstonia to do the water marble. You can check out my review on the orange wood sticks here.

Color Club Pearl District & Cheeky Jumbo A

Hi loves! Quick post today. I have another mani using one of the new Color Club fall 2013 polishes I reviewed here. I used Color Club Pearl District and stamped using Cheeky Jumbo A in Born Pretty Store black stamping polish. I wanted to give the Born Pretty Store stamping polish another try. It got the job done, but I still prefer using my go to black stamping polish--Konad black. I've also been playing with my Cheeky Jumbo plates lately and I am so thrilled with the results. I have a couple more manis to post using them so stay tuned!

Color Club Wicker Park & Cheeky Jumbo H

Hi loves. Quick post today. In my last post I reviewed a couple of polishes from Color Club and I decided to do some nail art while wearing them. You can read my review of them here. For this manicure I used Color Club Wicker Park and stamped using Cheeky Jumbo H in Konad White. I added a rhinestone on the flower on my middle finger because I felt like being girly. This was my first time using a Cheeky jumbo plate and I have to admit, I was impressed at the quality. I recently bought their jumbo plates A, C, H, and 1 (Viva Mexico). I am thinking of ordering the set of their 10 summer 2013 plates, but am not quite sold yet. I read that some designs aren't etched deep enough so maybe I'll hold off for a bit. Do any of you own the Cheeky jumbo 2013 summer set/how do you like them?
